Tough Girl's Sweetheart 40

DAEHYUN POV

I blink away the blurred vision and continuously fend off the attacks. From the corner of my eyes, I saw sneaky Leon passing through with the rest. I smirk while pushing more off me. Clenching my fist, I punch whoever came in contact first before something hit me hard at the back of my head.

"Foolish boy," Was the last thing I heard before everything went black and still.

HAEUL POV

"STOP!" I shouted causing Taehyun to slam on the brakes.

"WHAT?" Taehyun yelled but back down when he saw me glaring at me.

"See those?" I point to the road side," Those cars belong to Monsters."

Mino jump out of the car to inspect while Lay from the other car went out too, to ask of the sudden stop. I watch as Mino explain to Lay before jogging back to our car again. I look at him and he nodded surely. I sigh and went out of the car. Looking around, there was nothing much. Just trees and more trees. I went back in the car.

"What's around here?" I ask Taehyun who was studying the GPS system.

"Well, just up ahead is our destination," Taehyun said surely.

"Drive and stop just before the entrance. I have a feeling there is a reason why they left their car so far away," I sigh watching the sight of the car disappear as we drove on.

Not more than 5 minutes later the car stops and everyone gather around me, awaiting instructions. Taehyun look at me and nod for him to continue.

"Alright~ Split up into 3 groups. Like the usual, we would go for the sides and front. Unfortunately, I can't get hold of the detailed print of this area so be more observant of your surroundings. That is for now I guess. I'll will connect with you guys after I scan the area for any cameras," Taehyun instructed and the rest just comply.

"Check your in-ears guys. I don't want any miscommunications to happen," I warned.

The 12 of us, exluding Taehyun who won't be fighting but instead monitoring from the van, split up into 3 groups. Joonmyun, D.O, Chen and Mino in one group. Seungyoon, Jinwoo, Chanyeol and Baekhyun in another team. Lastly, Sehun, Seughoon, Lay and me in one team. We were all set that is till I remember something.

"Oh guys," I called for their attention," Shoot whoever you think is a threat. Our mission now is to eliminate."

"Haeul-" Seungyoon tried to talk me out but I just shot him a look that made him just sigh.

"This is an order," I stand by my statement," Killing is a must."

After exchanging unsure looks between themselves, they had no choice but to nod in agreement and that also included Kang Seungyoon who is frowning by himself. Moving as silently as possible, we crouch down low. A shiny object on the floor caught my eyes as I was looking around. Picking it up, I frown seeing that it was a familiar dagger. It's my brother's...

"Noona," Sehun voice made me look away from the dagger," What's that?"

"They are inside for sure," I said over the line," I found Daehyun's weapon."

"How's the sides doing?" Taehyun asked after a moment of silence stalled the line.

"Many. About 40 + people," Jinwoo reported," But seems like some are heavily injured."

"Of course he won't go down without a fight," I whispered to myself.

"If there is that many people, I suggest the snippers," Taehyun said and it was silent again.

"Jinwoo and Mino," I said," Aim for the legs."

"Got it," They simultaneously said.

"Chen will join in too," Joonmyun said and I just hum in agreement.

Shortly after gunshots were heard and ,of course, shouting of profanities. Tucking away my brother's dagger, I mentioned for Sehun, Lay and Seunghoon to stand up. Holding 3 fingers up, they instantly knew what I meant and got ready. 3... Trying to calm my nervous mind, I blocked out the scream of pain..... 2..... Gripping my gun, I prepare my heart for the worst scenario.... 1!

"Attack," I ordered and that is what it took for us to move forward.

DAEHYUN POV

I groan in pain as the aching pain could be felt all around my body. I fainted.... Forcing myself to wake up, I wasn't surprised to find my hands bounded by something. Every part of my body felt heavy and the back of my head is throbbing in pain. I blink away the blurriness while trying to find something to focus on. The room is lacking in lighting, hence the difficulty in seeing.

"Daehyun ah!" I became alert as I heard someone calling my name.

"W-who there?" I force myself to ask despite the pain from doing so.

"It's me, your own mother," The sassiness in her voice made me want to laugh but unable to do so in current situation.

Breathing in deeply, I pull myself up and sat against the wall. The chains bounding my hands rattle with every movement I take. I smirk seeing the shiny metal around my wrists. Chains... How classic. I look up to see my mother directly opposite me and in similar condition as me, beaten and chained up. Her usual youthful face showed signs of fatigue but upon making eye contact with me, her eyes light up in relief and maybe hope too.

"You look your age now," I mumbled, smiling slightly after seeing her reacted the way I wanted.

"You don't look any better yourself," She retorted and I was sure that she is indeed my mother.

The room was dark with just a window to provide lighting. There is a light bulb on the ceiling but my guess is that the switch is near the entrance which is a metal door. Touching the floor, it was slightly damp and cold. There is no other furniture in this room than a wooden chair beside the door. I held onto the chains and hoist myself up to stand. Unfortunately, the chains were measured so that I could stand but never leaving 1 meter ahead of the wall.

"Your father is at another place. My guess is that they don't really care for us because his target is Haeul and your father," Omma spoke while spacing out in thoughts.

"Isn't that better-" Before I could continue, the metal door bursted open.

I stood against the wall, anticipating the 'guest'. But I sigh in relief once I saw that is was only Leon.

A series of shouting and gunshots were heard faintly in the background. Leon came over to me and skillfully unlock the cuffs. he then went to my mother and did the same.

"What's happening?" I ask when Leon hand me a gun.

"Your sister and your brother-in-law is here," He explained.

"Shit!" I cursed.
