Crimson Gold // ATEEZ

Chapter -12-

"I'm going to take out the bullet, this may feel weird."

"Okay,"

I whisper. I flinch when she begins to remove the bullet. I can feel the morphine fading. I try moving away from her, but she stops me, saying,

"Yeri, we're already in a moving car, you have to stop moving if you want this to get out right. If you move too much and it goes wrong, you could permanently lose some mobility in this arm."

I stiffen hearing this and let her remove the bullet. I wince and bite my lip to prevent myself from making any noise as she continues. I start to feel extremely tired and doze off as Yiren treats my wound.

Chapter -12-

I wake up to the sound of doors slamming shut. I try to sit up, but am received with my arm feeling ablaze. I wince as Yiren shouts in concern,

"Yeri, be careful! You're going to rip open the stitches!"

I cover my ear due to her yelling in such a close proximity, and reply with,

"Okay, okay. Just please stop yelling."

She smiles sheepishly and helps me up.

"Oh, and by the way, Hongjoong is pissed at you, and he wants to talk with you."

"Oh, shit... I'm dead, aren't I?

"Oh, yup, for sure."

I sigh as I step out of the van and jump in surprise being met face to face with Yunho. He looks at my arm and asks,

"Are you alright?"

I exhale from relief and say jokingly,

"Yup! Just feels like I got stabbed by a couple of needles."

"Well, that is what basically happened."

We both chuckle as he locks the door.

"Okay, now come on. You have to talk to Hongjoong in the living room."

"Where?"

I ask nervously, knowing the house is massive.

"The room we asked you and Yiren a few questions.

I nod, still being nervous,

"Oh, okay."

All three of us walk up to the mentioned room where all the members are seated.

"Yeri, You went against my order even though I told you that's the only rule I have. Wanna explain why?"

Hongjoong starts the conversation. Yiren and I both sit at the empty couch and I start to speak,

"Because if I didn't the twins would have died. Speaking of them, where are they?"

"We took them home, but that doesn't justify what you did. I wasn't going to let them die. I was going to have Seonghwa throw a can of tear gas then shoot as many of them as he could. While he was shooting two of you guys were going to slip in and get the twins out. I had a plan, they weren't going to die, but you wouldn't listen to me. I even tried telling you when you were in the room, but you just zoned me out!"

"The twins would have died from the tear gas! They were beaten up to make sure they didn't escape!"

"Well since you knew this information you could have told us! We would have changed the plan! And that still doesn't explain why you were willing to die trying to save them. Get to the point."
