21 | Kill me

"Cheong-san.... Do me a favor, please?"

"But first, do not let go.... of these two. Now," she eyed them all, using her head to point at Su-hyeok and Nam-ra and back at the others.

"What?"

"I want you to–" she didn't finished her own sentence to form another,

"Dae-su, help," she wept and the guy she called was confused so he went and crouch down to her, the two closest to her in the room was beyond bemused why she called the bigger guy instead of any of the two of them.
"Sit me up, don't leave and stay still," once she got to sit with the help of Dae-su, she leans forward close to his ear that's why Dae-su flinched as he back away thinking shed bite his neck.

"I won't be able to get the favor I want if the two are–– are here beside me. Do everything you can," Dae-su nodded, he obviously want to help the girl so he agreed without knowing what her intentions are. Dae-su couldn't get what she want to say so this time, she tried telling him again without breaking down, she has to look tough.

"Get them away from me, anyone. Even you," he furrows his eyebrows at her still holding her upper arm when he helped her get up from lying down. She looked up to Cheong-san after shooing Dae-su away, "Cheong-san," she's scared, she wants to live longer but she has to do it. Her eyes puffy and red doesn't stop emitting warm tears. Her face is a mess, the blood from her neck was wiped to her face with a mixture of sweat and tears.

She signals Dae-su with a nod and thankfully he got the message pulling the two away from the girl seated on the floor creating a great distance as he narrowed his eyes at Gyeong-su and Wu-jin for help so they did.

"It... It fucking hurts! AAHHH! END THIS. END THIS! MAKE IT STOP! Please," she screamed at the top of her lungs from the pain all over her body starting on her neck down to her every limbs. Tied hands grasped the roots of her hair, squeezing her eyes shut, wanting to relieve and block out the sharp, head splitting pain from within. When will it end? Why won't it give her a break? She doesn't deserve it. All she wants was an end.

"Yah, let go of me she needs help," Su-hyeok flails as well as Nam-ra.

"What are you doing? I said let go!" Nam-ra begged almost kneeling down from the weakness but Gyeong-su held her up to prevent her from doing so, "Please. Let me get to her."

"Rara, it's fine," she smiled weakly at her cousin.

"What are you–"

"Kill me," she gulped as she said those words in a hoarse voice from crying.

"What?!" they are all looking at the girl with wide eyes and held their breathe in. Nam-ra was now whimpering while Su-hyeok is now on the verge of tears balling his fists. Even Dae-su who was holding the two couldn't believe what she just said and it now clicked to him the reason she wanted him to hold them in place but because of the pain and he had seen her as friend too, his grip loosen as the other two guys did too.

"Cheong-san," she choked as she called, "That's what you want now do it."

"Cheong-san. She's tied up we don't have to kill–" Ms. Park took a step forward mimicking the two who just got themselves released.

"Don't get any closer, you guys please. It's making me suffer, end my suffering, will you?" her body now crouching closer to her knees as her shoulders shudders.

"You're okay. You should've turned by now but you didn't," On-jo went to reach to her face to wipe her tears just like what she did to her earlier.

"On-jo no. It hurts so bad! End it, for me. Please, gladly do me a favor," she wails as she punch her chest with her fist, "Just– just let me be. Help me by killing me. My heart hurts so bad, it wants to explode in my ribcage."

"I don't want to lose you," her cousin kneels from a distance since she understands the girl doesn't want anyone near her.

"But I could kill. Damn, what a great way to celebrate a birthday," she chuckled bitterly through her sobs.

Gyeong-su held his tears back, "You said we should make it out of here because we'll still eat for your celebration."

"My birthday will also be my last day."

"Don't say that."

"But that's the truth. Reality sucks," Jae-won keeps her head low as droplets from the tip of her nose from the liquid on her face falls to her lap, even she wasn't sure whether it was just a sweat or tears. Her body is now numbing in pain– or she's just convincing herself that she isn't feeling anything now? Except from the throbbing pain in her heart and brain.

"I want to die with Si-Mi. Whom Na-yeon killed," from the mention of her name she gulped and looked away from everyone's disgusted eyes on her, "Do you feel accomplished now, after failing the attempt of killing Gyeong-su, Na-yeon? Bitch, I should've let you die yesterday," she spat venomously as the state of her best friend flashes through her eyes all this time that she's looking down, "I love her so, so much, Na-yeon!"

"I love you, Wonie, please don't die," a tear rolls down Nam-ra's pale face.

"But the pain is torturing me physically, mentally and emotionally," the red veins from her bite mark crawls up inside of her and it is noticable to them, as her mouth agape and lets out a groan from the twisting pain and her vision started to blur.

"She's turning."

Cheong-san readied his weapon tightly. He wants to attack her now and obey what she told him as he's seeing her suffer too much but he couldn't get himself to do it. He's not a killer.

"I.... Let me g-go with Si-Mi. Why don't you just kill me! F*ck. Forgive me, Nam-ra," she wants to be strong and fulfill what her best friend wants for her because deep inside she knows in her heart that Si-Mi would be disappointed and upset at her.

Y'all sorry, if I disappoint the others who didn't want Jae-won to be a hambie. But remember I did made you vote and also, the title of the book has something to do with it.
