Hate You With Love || MAFIA AU

Chapter 40:: It's over

Author's POV:

"Shit." You heard Kim groan. Lee was completely dumbfounded as Taehyung was now pointing his gun at him. You saw Jo groaning, he was shot as well. It was a bloodbath everywhere. Soon, the police were all over the place, pointing their guns at you all.
"Lee Taereul, Kim Taewoo and Joel Joseph! You are under arrest!" The police spoke. You saw Taehyung drop his gun as he walked to the side. He slowly approached you as the police were dashing toward the men. 

"Are you okay?" He asked. He was bleeding. You looked at him, your heart aching. 
"Are you?" You asked back, looking at him with probably the softest expression you had ever looked at him with. He smiled a little and said, "We won."
You looked at him, smiling weakly. He cupped your cheeks and said, "You feel different."
"We might have some things to sort out." You whispered. He looked at you, pain evident on his face for a moment. He nodded softly and backed away, sitting down. He was bleeding a lot and groaning in pain. But your eyes widened as you saw him groan loudly, he has shot again. With shocked eyes, you looked in the direction of where the bullet came from. It was Lee. 

He was about to pull the trigger again but you went in front of Taehyung and shielded him, holding him closely.
"NO! STOP!" You screamed, crying loudly. 
"Move away! He deserves to be killed!" Lee screamed. You shook your head, your whole body was shaking. Taehyung tried to move you away, "Y/N! M-Move!" 
"NO!" You screamed. You were terrified but you were in front of him, protecting him, from them. 

Kim scoffed and said, "What a wench..."
"I'll shoot you if you don't move!" Lee spoke. He was about to pull the trigger but the police shot him before he could. He collapsed to the ground as you were shaking. Taehyung was on the verge of passing out. 2 bullets were a huge deal. 
"H-Hey!" You called. Jo was screaming for Tom to help Taehyung. The police soon caught them and your eyes widened as you saw the police dragging Taehyung.
"Why are they taking him?!" You asked loudly, holding Taehyung's hand tightly which was becoming loose with every passing second.

"Well, this was a fight. Both parties will be investigated. But don't worry. Taehyung and Jo won't go to jail. Though they will be charged for some rule-breaking. They work with the police anyway." Tom said as Taehyung was dragged away from you. You stood there, looking at him go away. He smiled at you through the pain and mouthed, "Be safe."
Work with the police? That was a shocking fact. You looked at Tom beside you who said, "It's all over... after 15 years." 
"Did you also work in this cause?" You asked, your voice coming out tired. You were tired. 

"Yeah. Let's go now. Your forehead is in a bad condition." Tom said, eyeing you with pity. He smiled faintly as you followed him out of there. 

—Time skip 

You groaned, feeling yourself waking up slowly. Opening your eyes, you looked around but to your surprise, you saw Tom sitting there. 
"You're awake." He said, smiling a little. 
"Oh... where am I-"
"You're in this... hospital. Well, you passed out in the ambulance so..." Tom sighed. You gulped and said, "Others?"
"Taehyung went through surgery. He's asleep. Jo is also asleep. The criminals were caught and they're being investigated. The evidence was released. Though the innocent people framed instead of Kim and Lee were sentenced to death years ago, their families will be compensated. The Korean police are being contacted." 

You nodded and looked down.
"Can I go out to see them?" You asked. He smiled and nodded. 
"He must've been wanting to see you. He was so worried about your forehead. As if he wasn't shot twice." Tom chuckled. You looked down, confusion taking over you. There was so much to talk about with Taehyung. So much to clear up. So many bottled emotions. You wanted to clear everything before you were out of this. The mission was accomplished, wasn't it? It was time to go now... a thought like that occurred. And it felt sad—a little more than you would've expected.
