his shield

028

i've never waited in a hospital before. i can't say that i've ever been to one.

we came here as soon as jaehwan was dressed. he has held onto my hand tightly the whole time hat we have been here.

hongbin arrived soon after we did. he caught up to the culprit and managed to get him to confess who ordered him to do it before killing him.

to no one's surprise it was jeonghan.

hongbin chose to sit a few seats down from jaehwan and i. we still aren't on the best of terms.

soon a doctor walks out of the operating theatre and heads over to us.

we all rush over to him eager to hear about taeyong's condition.

"wonshik?" he questions my identify and i nod to confirm it. "you are lucky that we got to taeyong when we did. any later and the result could've have been very different. the blade went in deep but we were able to stop the bleeding before it had a chance to become critical. he should heal up but it'll take time. he can be discharged after a week. we just want to make sure the wound heals nicely and nothing goes wrong."

"thank you so much" i sigh with relief and jaehwan rubs my back.

"can we see him?" hongbin asks and the doctor smiles before telling us which room he is in.

we all head there and it breaks my heart to see taeyong. has an drip in his left arm as well a clip on his finger.

his face is as white as a sheet.

"hey" he sounds tired as he greets us. he must be in so much pain yet he still smiles at us.

"how are you feeling?" i ask him and press the back of my hand on his forehead.

"alive. it's all thanks to you" he says quietly and i step back.

"jeonghan did hire that person. i caught the culprit and got them to confess it" hongbin informs taeyong.

the green hair kid looks from him to me and sighs.

"you realise you still have to go ahead with my plan. even after this has happened. you can't let him win."

"i know. this doesn't change the outcome yet it affects how i will kill jeonghan even more" i state causing me to be bombarded with confused expressions.

"how so?" this time jaehwan asks the questions.

"i want him to suffer. i don't want it to be quick. i don't want it to be painless. he needs to pay for taekwoon. he needs to pay for taeyong."

"and how are you going to do this?" hongbin crosses his arms over his chest and looks at me in disbelief.

"i found an ancient spell. it'll transfer the mark he gave me, to him. yet since he was the one who gave it in the first place, it'll hurt ten times more the. it did when i got it." i explain and taeyong's eyes widen in amazement.

"but are you strong enough to do it?" he questions softly and i nod slowly.

"shields who have over 500 years experience are able to operate the spell. i've been one for nearly 700 years."

"that's good. i hope he suffers. make him suffer for us all wonshik" taeyong smiles in approval of the idea.

"why don't we discuss a plan for the day now and instead of waiting another day, we can do it tomorrow" hongbin suggests and i watch as he takes a seat in the chair in the corner of the room.

"fine" i let go of jaehwan's hand and walk to sit opposite hongbin.

"how long do you need for the spell?" he asks.

"about five minutes. during that time he mustn't know what i am doing."

"how the hell does that work?" he exclaims and i just sigh.

"i say a few abra cadabras in my head and slice open my stomach with a chosen dagger. only lightly. just deep enough to get my blood on the blade and it has to be from where the mark is. then i stab him."

"that takes 5 minutes?" hongbin continues to look at me in disbelief.

"maybe a little less but i don't want to rush and then it doesn't work."

"we should wait till late at night again but confront him in his room this time. no one can get in there unless they have a high status. wonshik, you are the only one who has that currently. we can sneak in and i'll distract him while you do your voodoo shit" hongbin proposes the idea.

"that seems like it'll work" i nod in approval.

"it looks like you guys have it sorted" taeyong sounds relieved.

"taeyong?" suddenly a voice calls out taeyong's name from the doorway.

we all look and i feel my lower jaw drop silently at the person who stands in the doorway.

"jaehyun?" taeyong exclaims in shock.

A/N - what do you think of hongbin and wonshik's plan? will it work?

i'm just going to clarify that jaehyun can see taeyong as he has had to remove his glamour so the hospital staff can tend to him. i know most of you will probably already know that but i just wanted to make sure it was clarified for anyone who got slightly confused..

three chapters left including the epilogue..there is a slight possibility that there may be a couple more chapters as i am killing three people know where before i was only killing one...what is wrong with me? it should be complete within the next few days. this story has been a lot of fun to write and i hope you guys will enjoy the ending even if some of your favourite characters die hehe..

thanks for reading!!
