A Cruel Twist Of Fate

Chapter 13

[Yeonjun's POV]

To be honest, I didn't feel good about us having to restrain the girl. I know everyone didn't feel good about it either, but sometimes we do things because we have to, not because we want to...

Flashback

"Hey Yeonjun, what do you want to be when you grow up?" my dad asked me.

"I dunno... Maybe a police detective? They're cool," I said.

"That sounds nice, well it's always your choice. If you're happy with what you're doing then that's how know you made the most out of your life."

"You think I'd make a good one?"

"If you work and study hard, I think you'll do quite well."

My parents were the best kind of people I can ask for. They were supportive about my choices and my dreams, it's that and a good balance of discipline. It's what made me into who I am today. But even then there's some doubt I have when I do my job. Like whenever I arrest people, sometimes I feel bad because their lives must be rough if they do any of the crimes they do. I wish there was a way I could help...

_____________________

But that's the whole purpose of why I chose to be a police detective, I always liked the idea of helping others and it's been proven given the circumstances we were in. I saved people's lives, nothing made me happier before, but the guilt not being able to protect my parents or Changbin still haunt me. I've been having nightmares about it just like the hospital.

It's been a few hours since that, we finished the movie. There was nothing else to do which kinda sucked. I wish I could be playing video games, like maybe Smash Bros. Ultimate? I've been good at that game. It was 11 at night right now too and none of us were sleeping yet except for the children. We heard a door open and we saw Taehyun leaving the security room.

"She's awake!" Taehyun shouted. Without saying anything we rushed back to the infirmary to check on our mysterious person.

"W-What t-the... W-Where a-am I-I?" the girl was panicking and struggling.

"You're awake!" Sana said. The girl looked up and saw us and was even more scared.

"W-Who a-are y-you g-guys? D-Did y-you g-guys t-tie m-me u-up???"

"Unfortunately that's us, don't worry we'll let you go soon. We just need to make sure you're not infected," Taehyun said.

"D-Did you guys k-kidnap me!? Please d-don't hurt m-me!" she said in panic.

"We're not gonna hurt you, but you're gonna have to stay like this for a couple hours..." Jungkook said.

"... W-Why m-must m-my l-life b-be l-like t-this...?"

Hearing that made it clear she's been suffering, not only to the infection but throughout her life. We all left the room with me being the last one out, I gave a glance at the girl who was silently crying before I left the room.

"We should all get some rest, tomorrow we're going to confront Bang Si-Hyuk," Taehyun said. "We'll also untie her tomorrow."

"Sounds like a plan, well let's all rest up then!" Tzuyu said and everyone except me went to the elevator and stairway.

"Hey Yeonjun... Aren't you gonna sleep?" Mina asked.

"Later... I don't feel tired yet..." I said.

"Suit yourself then, good night."
