UNFORGIVEN (Kazuha x Fem Reader)

Chapter 14

Y/N POV

"That's her?" Hyunjin asked, eyebrow raised.

"Yes, that's her unless you have a problem?" I replied curtly.

"Why so cold, Y/N?" Hyunjin teased, but his playful tone disappeared as I shot him a cold glare. The others in the room took a small step backwards except for Minji.

"If I may continue," I started. "Minji and I were mapping the city before you two came." I paused and gestured to the map on the table. "The map labels every part of the warehouses Chaewon might use."

All attentions went to the map.

"I'll print copies of the map," I said and walked to the printer with Sullyoon behind me.

Copies were printed and each were handed out to everyone. They took a look and studied the map. Some looked shocked while some looked confused. Minji and I stood to one side, studying the original copy of the map and tracing possible routes for entering without being seen.

After minutes of studying and planning, I folded up the copy of my map. "There are three warehouses, Chaewon possible being in one of them," I said. "We'll go groups of two."

"Wonyoung unnie, and Hyunjin oppa in group one," Minji added. "Kyujin and Sullyoon in group two."

"Kazuha and Minji in group three," I finished. "There's a underground warehouse where I will go."

Hyunjin stepped forward, his expression showing he was confused. "Please tell me you're not going to go there alone."

I looked away and crossed my arms. "I am."

Hyunjin's eyes narrowed with concern. "That's too dangerous, Y/N. We should be working together on this."

"I'm not asking for permission," I retorted, my tone icy. "This is the most efficient way to cover all the ground."

Sullyoon walked over and dragged both me and Kazuha into a room. "You have to learn to stop being a hero all the time Y/N."

I sighed and looked around the room, trying to ignore Sullyoon's glare that was directed at me. I've known her long enough to know once she glares, it's over for you unless you beg or do exactly what she requests you to do.

"I can't risk everyone's lives Sully," I said, my voice cracking a little.

"And you'd rather risk your own life and maybe even die without doing anything?" Kazuha shot.

"Fine. I'll bring someone," I snapped. "Happy? The both of you?"

I smiled and slammed the room's door shut, walking back into the living room where Minji was still mapping the city with Hyunjin and Wonyoung's help. Kyujin was studying the warehouses where she was assigned to. Minji noticed me coming out from the room and stood up, placing her pens down.

"Everything ok?" she asked, sensing the mood change.

I forced a smile, trying to mask the frustration bubbling inside me. "Yeah, everything's fine. Just some... last-minute adjustments." My voice was strained, but I hoped nobody would notice it. No one did, fortunately but Kyujin did. She gave me a look as if telling me 'we'll talk later'.

"Where's Sully and Zuha?" Kyujin asked.

"They're talking in the room," I lied. "We'll continue without them."

"Are you sure everything's ok?" Hyunjin asked.

"Everything's fine," I replied, clenching my fist slightly. "Let's just focus on the task at hand."
