Unchained | Yoongi

Encounter

Namjoon ran back off the balcony after we introduced ourselves to him. He was a cute and cheerful boy I thought. Maybe I could befriend him if I had the chance.

"Oh Eunjung," Leader Kim said, "I still don't trust you, of course. I guess we will see whether you are lying or not on the day of the meeting."

I smiled and nodded. "We will see, Leader Kim."

"But if it proves to be true, you two would've done a great favour for FIRE... But we will see." Leader Kim stood up from his chair and said, "Would you two like some weed? I have-"

All of a sudden, shouts could be heard downstairs. I jumped in fright when two shots went off. Oh my god, was that a real gun? Was someone just shot?

The FIRE men surrounding us reached into their suit jackets and when their hands came back out, they were holding guns. Leader Kim himself pulled out a gun as well. They all had guns on them this whole time!? What the hell? This was the first time in my life seeing real guns. I cling to Yoongi's hand that was still interlinked with mine, genuinely afraid for my life.

"What is happening!?" I whisper-shouted to Yoongi.

"I don't know," Yoongi replied, his eyes fixed on the stairs behind me that led up to this balcony.

I screamed when another hail of gunfire went off downstairs. I felt Yoongi pulling me into him and wrapping his other arm tightly around me in protection. I was sure he felt me shaking as he whispered comfortingly, "It will be fine." But I could feel his heavy breathing out of nervousness too. I clutched the fabric of his shirt on his chest, feeling his heaving chest underneath. In the unexpected and terrifying situation, Yoongi was my one source of comfort.

There was a terrifying moment of silence. Then I heard a bunch footsteps coming up the stairs.

"Shit, Eunjung!" Yoongi suddenly pulled me down to the floor. He covered me with his own body as more gunshots went off, this time creating rings in my ears as they were right next to us. I dared to open my eyes to look. Leader Kim's men were having a full-on shoot-out with some intruders. I was in the middle of all of it. What the fuck was happening?

The man standing next to me cried out and dropped to the wooden floor holding his chest. I could see blood seeping out from between his fingers and dripping onto the floor, creating a small puddle that began to extend towards me.

He was dead. My attention was on him and I didn't even realise an intruder who managed to dash through the line of firing landed next to us.

I gasped when I saw that he was about to kill me. But before he could a bullet was put through his forehead. I now saw that Yoongi was holding the gun the dead man next to us dropped.

The firing stopped.

"Eunjung, " Yoongi's voice pulled me out of my trance.

"Yoongi," I whispered as he helped me back up to my feet. I held onto him for support as I stared at the dead person.

Why was a person's life so fragile? It could be ended by a single small lump of metal. That man's eyes were still wide open as if he was immensely reluctant to accept the fact that he was dead. The only thing of him this wasn't laying still was the blood that continuously drained out of him.

I jumped a little at the sound of metal hitting the floor. Yoongi dropped the gun he was holding and was now looking between his hands and the man he just killed.

"Eunjung... I killed someone," Yoongi muttered, his hand shaking slightly.

I was confused. I thought he said he killed people in his free time. "Haven't you done this before?"

He shook his head. "This is my first kill."

This was the first time I've seen Yoongi like this. His gaze was transfixed on his first kill, and it looked like he was genuinely shocked.

"Yoongi," I called out his name. "Listen, you did this for me. It's fine." Yoongi did just save my life. He killed someone for the first time because of me. I was more than touched.

But it still hasn't ended. With everyone's attention on the stairs, a person somehow sneaked down onto the garden-facing side of the balcony with a rope around himself from the roof. It was only by his boots hitting the floor that we were all alerted and turned around.

But it was too late. The person held a knife by its blade and motioned to throw it at Leader Kim.

"No!" Mr Min shouted as he jumped in the way. The next thing I knew, Yoongi's father was down on the floor, a knife sticking out of his chest.

"Father!" Yoongi ran towards the man that was now dying on the floor. I glanced at the perpetrator. I now realised it was a woman judging by her physique. She had on a black leather suit like that of Black Widow. The only feature of hers that was not covered was her bright blue eyes.

He eyes widened when she realised she missed her target. She immediately turned around and started running to the edge of the balcony. She was about to jump off when Leader Kim pressed his trigger. She fell back onto the balcony with a screech and now blood was gushing out of the back of her calve.

Two FIRE men that were left standing grabbed her by her arms and dragged her to Leader Kim. Leader Kim pulled the black hat she was wearing off her. Long brown hair that was dyed ombré red fell. He then pulled the mask off her, revealing her European features.

Leader Kim smirked as he recognised her. "Natasha Witek, the most deadly mercenary in the world."
