"M-Minnie? Please, say something."

Nicha let out a sigh, catching her breath, before getting up from the floor, still seated on the asphalt, surprising Miyeon.

"D-Don't move, Min. Let's call an ambulance." the brunette said, but Minnie shook her head.

"L-Let's get off the road first." Nicha said, trying to push herself up, pressing a hand on her chest.

Miyeon helped Nicha, carrying her to the sidewalk.

"Let's go to my car, Yeon." Minnie suggested, taking the brunette by the hand, heading towards the car.

The girl was still shocked and tears still traced her face out of fear, she didn't understand how Nicha could still walk after three gunshots to her chest.

"M-Minnie, wait! We should go to the hospital! You can't drive like this! You need a doctor."

"M-Miyeon, please... Wait until we get to the car. I'm fine, just trust me."

The two reached the car and Nicha made Miyeon sit, before going to sit behind the wheel.

Minnie began to take off her jacket and shirt, groaning in pain, while Miyeon did nothing but watch.

Minnie had a bulletproof vest on, which had managed to block the three shots.

"You already knew...?" Miyeon asked, terrified.

Nicha approached Miyeon, pulling the girl into a hug.

"I didn't. Soojin had asked me to wear it just to be safe. Apparently they had found a way to follow Kun and I was used as bait... unknowingly." Nicha said, holding Miyeon. "I was afraid he might hurt you."

Minnie backed away, kissing the girl's nose.

"Let's go home."

Nicha stood in front of the mirror, slowly taking off her bulletproof jacket, swallowing her groans of pain.

Miyeon came out of the bathroom, seeing Minnie in trouble, running to help her.

"Wait, I'll help you." she said, taking off her jacket.

On the woman's torso there were three almost black bruises corresponding to the 3 gunshots.

"Are you in a lot of pain?" the brunette asked, worried, seeing Nicha nod.

"He shot me from very close. There could also have been a risk that the vest wouldn't block the shots." Minnie explained, caressing the brunette's head. "I'm sorry I scared you, that wasn't my intention."

Miyeon smiled, hugging the woman, before capturing her lips in a soft, but brief kiss.

"It doesn't matter anymore." the girl said, smiling. "I'm happy you are here with me... alive."

Nicha smiled, kissing Miyeon's lips, but soon her phone started ringing.

"Sorry." she whispered against the girl's lips, before taking the call. "Soojin-ah?"

"We got him."

Minnie looked up, looking Miyeon in the eyes, before answering.

"I'll be right there." the woman said, with a serious expression. "Jin? Send Shuhua and Soyeon home to me, I want Miyeon to be safe."

"It will be done."

Nicha went into the closet, taking out some clean clothes.

"They caught Kun. I'm going to question him." Nicha said, walking closer to the brunette, giving her a long kiss on the lips. "I hope he talks, because I can't wait to come back home and sleep with my beautiful future wife."

Miyeon smiled, blushing, pecking Minnie's lips.

"I love you. Please be careful."

"I love you too, I promise nothing will happen to me." Minnie said.

"So, let's see what the situation is here..." Nicha said, entering the basement.

Kun was tied to a chair, while Soojin and Yuqi watched over him.

The man had a bloody face, a symbol of the torture of the two women to make him speak.

"If you don't speak you know how it will end for you." Nicha said, sitting down in front of the man.

"Ask me anything." Kun said, a smirk on his lips. "I was just waiting for you to talk."

"How sweet of you." Nicha asked, looking the man seriously in the eyes. "Who do you work for?"

"For a dead man." the man said, making Nicha nervous. "Cho Kyu Sung."

"Why would you work for him?" the woman asked. "He's dead."

The man started laughing, looking at Nicha, before answering.

"Is alive."

Nicha looked at him, before standing up, punching him in the jaw, grabbing the collar of his shirt.

"Talk!" Nicha shouted, tightening her grip. "Explain! What's your relationship with Kyu Sung?! And why did you have Miyeon's photos on your phone? What do you want from her?"

The man started laughing, looking Nicha in the eyes, making her mad.

"I don't want anything from Miyeon except for her to come home." the man said, making Nicha's blood boil. "From you... I want you to die and burn in hell."

"You can do whatever you want to me, but I'll never leave Miyeon in the hands of two psychopaths! I don't know what that man told you, but he abused Miyeon and I will never forgive him for that!"

"SHUT UP! Don't tell lies about my father!" the man said angrily, surprising Nicha.

"Y-Your father?" the woman asked.

"Miyeon and I are brother and sister."
