Chapter 24 - His Return

Chapter 24

His Return

"Just do me one tiny favor. Never call me father .... for I have no child."

Soojung and Jongin stared wide eyes at the end of Yansoo's blade dripping with blood at the side of Yixing's body.

" ....fa-father..."

"Ahhhhhhrrrrgggg!"

Yansoo pulled out his sword from Yixing's body just in time to block Sooyeon and Sehun's swords.

Like a lifeless leaf, Yixing's body started to fall in the ground. Jongin came just in time to catch him.

"Yixing! Yixing!"

Soojung pulled out a fire gun and shot it at the sky releasing blue fireworks. Then she run towards Jongin and Yixing.

"Dara and Hyeran should ought to see that, they'll rush over here." she says at Yixing whose turning pale by the second, his clothes getting drench from his own blood.

"Just hang in there, Yixing. Don't close your eyes. Help will come." Jongin said.

Yixing opened his mouth, trying to say his final words but Soojung interrupted him.

"No need for that, you will live. Save your strength. Ju-just... d-don't talk.." Soojung stares at his half-lidded eyes.

Dara and Hyeran arrived, Dara took one look at Yixing then she started treating his wound. Jongin carefully placed Yixing's body to Hyeran.

"Leave him to our hands. She will be fine. Take this, fire another blue firework when you need us." Dara said, she's calm and focused as she push another fire gun at Soojung's.

"Go! Help Sooyeon!" she said and with that Jongin took Soojung's hand towards Sooyeon and Sehun who had led Yansoo away from them.

It was not hard finding them.

Sooyeon and Sehun are battling Yansoo with all their might. A wild grin still lingers on Yansoo's face, almost looking proud from killing his own son. Sooyeon's eyes are full of hatred and rage, never leaving Yansoo.

Jongin saw an opening at Yansoo's back. He looked at Soojung to inform her of what he have in mind and the moment their eyes met, understanding rush through their whole being. Without uttering a single word, both Soojung and Jongin nods their head at one another, confirming their unspoken plan.

Jongin's eyes drifted to Soojung's hair, he had no idea why on Earth she always style her hair like this, just always loose letting the air blows it but right now as he stares at her sweaty red face, strands of hair at her face, lips slightly parted and lastly her brown eyes which unconsciously is now his favorite color, he got hit by a realization.

This troublesome woman is the reason why I got tied in this troublesome situation which would most likely get me killed ... BUT .... she is also the reason why I wouldn't have it any other way.

"Are you okay?" she asked. Her concern is a little surprising for Jongin.

Jongin sighed, he's about to face the enemy again but he can't seem to concentrate well on the fight ahead.

"Don't tell me you're getting scared." Soojung said then she chuckled lowly, "It's alright, you can stay here if you want. I wouldn't want you to start crying on me, would I?"

Geez, I need to remind myself why I love this woman.

Jongin gasped from his own thoughts.
