"This is Jeon Jungkook, CEO of Seoul Higher View. You must pour all your skill, energy and talent into protecting him from all these attacks."
My head snaps up to meet eyes as bewildered as mine.
"You-"
"Do you know each other?"

I lean my head against the wall and take a few deep breaths in, calming my racing heart. I should handcuff the man breathing deeply two meters away.
I feel a tingling sensation in my leg as I stand straight, to walk towards the hitman, and try to ignore the pain as I stumble towards him.
He grunts painfully and the second he catches a glimpse of me, he mutters darkly.
"You psycho bitch." He curses painfully, closing his eyes while gripping on his wound. "That asswhole didn't even warn me about your skills." He mutters to himself and I know I wasn't supposed to hear that but I did.
And fuck what a piece of luck.
I hold the cuffs and roughly grab his hands.
"Who's the asswhole?" I ask pressingly and he scowls my way.
"You'd like to know." He coughs painfully and I press on his wound, earning a low growl from him.
"Yeah I really would. He knew about me and my partner that much I'm sure. But he chose not to tell you, probably not wanting you to bail out. So he betrayed you. Are you really gonna protect him? Are you that dumb? He'll let you rot in jail." I sigh and take out my phone to call the police department.
I know Jungkook most likely already did. But still. I need to be sure.
"I've never seen his face." He mutters in the silence of the room. I stop what I'm doing and tear my shirt.
The department is going to kill me if I keep ruining my shirts.... But it's already got a big hole in it anyways.
I don't interrupt him and wait for him to go on while I apply a safe pressure on his gunshot wound. Now that he's started talking, I should keep him alive.
"I don't know how he found me. But he did. I attacked him. But he was much stronger, much more skilled. So after defeating me, he hired me to..."
I wait patiently for him to continue but he seems hesitant. I can't let him be hesitant. I need to know exactly what his mission was.
"He hired you to do what? I'm pretty sure he didn't hire you to kill Jungkook, he has no interest in his death."
The dark black eyes meet mine in the light deprived room and he just stares at me wordlessly.
"You know that?" He frowns and I shrug.
"He's made it obvious. Plus, if he's that skilled, he would've come after Jungkook himself." The man continues to stare at me before grunting to the shooting pain in his arm.
