Red Straps // O.Sh

Reality

At that moment a loud bang fills the room and everyone ducks and screams running towards the exit. Sehun looks dazed under me, like his body hasn't responded to whats going on yet. For a mob boss he's pretty slow. "get off me." Is all he says before easily pushing my body off of his. As he stands up I see the red light flash upon his shoulder. "SEHUN LOOK OUT!" I run and jump quickly grabbing hold of a silver platter from off of a table and using it as a shield. I hear the gun and fortunately the bullet doesn't go through. Guess all those action movies paid off. Sehun looks at me his jaw dropped. I quickly pull him down beneath the table and then I crawl under the table towards the shooter, I have no idea why i'm doing this but one thing I know is this shooter is using a sniper and snipers are far distance weapons. I pick up a fork from off the ground and crawl towards the shooter. From under the table I can clearly see the shooter so I make a run for it and I stab the shooter in the arm with the fork. The shooter screams in pain and bashes me in the head. He takes out a knife and is about the use it against me but Chanyeol arrives at perfect timing. Chanyeol has a gun and he's pointing it at the shooter. "get any closer to her and your a dead man." The man hastily drops the knife and puts his hands behind his head. I quickly stand up and move away from the man. "To bad... cause i'm gonna kill you anyways." I gasp and my head cracks around in shock. The man quickly picks up his knife and chucks it at me. I squint my eye's knowing i can't dodge it. I hear the gunshot go off and I feel no pain. I'm hesitant to open my eye's but I feel the warmth of another body lean against me. I slightly open my eyes and see... SEHUN! He's hurt! The blade hit him instead of me. It seems it only grazed his arm but he's still bleeding a lot. Once again my body reacts quickly and I look for something to stop the bleeding. I find a white cloth on one of the tables so I take it. I wrap it around Sehun's bleeding arm to stop the bleeding. I hear sirens and I see lights flashing outside the building. In moments the police flood in. "Detective Chanyeol!" One of the police yells and run's to his side while another gives a signal to the paramedics outside. I thought Chanyeol was a mob boss though. "This is the sniper. When I got here he had a knife pointed towards that woman. I don't know what his motive was." Chanyeol says while waving his hand over the snipers body. The police nod and write it down on a notepad while the paramedics attend to Sehun and me. 

We spent about an hour at the hospital getting Sehun's wound stitched up and now we are headed back home. Sehun hasn't spoken ever since the shooting. I wonder why I was so brave tonight. I mean I always pictured myself being a top-notch superwoman but I never thought I'd have the guts to do it. "Hey! daydreamer, we're home." I hear Sehun shout from outside the car. First few words he's spoken since the shooting. We take the elevator up to the penthouse and the air around me is tense the whole way up. "Go get changed." Sehun orders while opening a bottle of soju. I nod and walk to the bedroom but as i'm about to turn the handle my hips are grabbed. I know it's only Sehun. "Why did you do it?" Sehun asks that simple question, but I don't know the answer. "Why did you... risk your life?" He says with a troubled tone. "I don't know? My body just acted. I saw the red light from the gun and I just moved. Maybe it was reflex." I respond with truthful words. I feel his grip tighten a little on my waist. "Don't do something so reckless ever again." As soon as I hear those words I turn around with fierce eyes. "If I didn't do anything you would have died! Why would you try to save me?!... That's the reason your arm is injured!because... because you tried to save me." His face looks stunned but he quickly goes back to his cool facial expression. "I was just protecting my property. I don't like broken toys." He pierces my heart with those cold words. I push away from him and go into the bedroom but before I shut the door I add a few words. "I protected you because there was a chance I might escape by death." I hear him gasp but I don't look at his face I just shut the door and get dressed. Many things are going through my head right now. Why those words hurt so much, Why i'm suddenly so ballsy, and why this is all happening. I tug my hair in frustration, but I can't stay in here forever. I have to go out there and face him. I begin to get up but I fall over face first. My cheek is up against the floor. I see the door open and the feet of Sehun enter. He walks towards me and picks me up. I'm to weak to move or anything. That whole shoot out was mentally taxing. I look up at Sehun who is putting me on the bed. He looks tired as well. His eyes are bloodshot and his hair is scruffy. He begins to walk away but I grab his hand. "You should sleep... you look so... tired." I see him reach towards me. His hand touches my head. "I will later." My eyes begin to close as he walks off. 

I dreamed about strange things that night. I dreamed about guns, glitter and a video game like world, where I was a giant cat with guns strapped to my back. I was battling against other creatures. I was kinda having fun too...
