Junhui
"Rodger," Choi Sun says as she pulls away from me. She stands up and straighten her clothes then fixes her now messy hair.
"Who's Rodger?" I tilt my head.
"My cousin," there was a hint of sarcasm in her voice. "He's white."
"Right," I stand up and fix myself too. "I guess you're satisfied then," I give her a wink.
"Very," she then puts a palm up against her right ear and starts nodding. "I copy."
"Is your white cousin Rodger in your ear?" I joke then pick up the shopping bag off the floor.
"Yes."
What is up with her now? She's suddenly so serious. I liked the other Choi Sun better...
She opens the door slowly then peek her head out then closes it again. "Master Wen Junhui do you want to live?"
"What?" Her question takes me by surprise.
"Yes or no?" She was looking at me dead in the eyes.
"I do..."
"Do you trust me?"
I nod.
"Then I'm going to need full cooperation and do everything I say, got it?" She's hot when she's bossy but I realised what she was trying to say.
I'm finally getting attacked. I had never been so afraid. I had never needed my life so bad.
Choi Sun offers me her hand which I take. Her neck was stained in purple and black but this was really not the time to tell her. She takes me to the escalator and gets very close. She lets go of my hand and puts it around my waist so I put my arm around her shoulder. "Don't look but behind us a few metres away is a guy in a camo jacket, black hat and black mask. He's been tailing us this whole time. What we're going to do is lead him to the youth unit fighting team, they're in a small coffee shop. They're going to capture him there while you and I are going to sneak into the back which leads to a staircase to the rooftop where Bullseye would have killed the sniper."
Sniper?!
"Don't panic, they'll realise if you make any sudden movements."
My heart pounded faster and faster as we neared the top of the escalator. By the time we were off it, I felt out of breath.
Choi Sun was calm though. She led me to the coffee shop without saying anything else.
Once we were in I let out a sigh of relief seeing a group of young people drinking coffee and socialising with each other. They all had their own sense of fashion but the one thing they all had in common were the familiar black leather jacket with the crescent red moon sewed on the left side.
Choi Sun ignores them all and goes to the counter. "Hi can we please order two regular flat whites?"
The girl at the counter writes down the order, "sugar?"
"None in mine," Choi Sun smiles then looks up at me, "what about you babe?"
"I-I'll have 2," I didn't realise but I was shaking. I give props to my bodyguard. She's actually really fucking brave.
The girl nods then turns around facing the coffee machine.
I take my hand off Sun's shoulder and turn around to lean on the counter. I was surprised to see right behind me was the guy Sun had described. Camo jacket, black hat, black mask. He was a little shorter than me. I give him a smile.
His eyes curve up a little, he smiled back.
"Here you go."
I turn back around.
The girl was handing Sun our coffees.
I take my wallet out of my back pocket and give her god knows how much, "keep the change."
"But sir this is-" The girl was dumbfounded.
"Don't worry about it," I give her a wink then turn to Sun as if to ask 'what now?'
She hands me mine then takes the lid off hers.
Everything happened in a rush after that.
She throws the piping hot liquid at the boy in camo. She reacts quickly and aim a kick to his chest but he was quicker.
He catches her boot and pull her, causing them both to fall.
The Moon clan were on their feet at this point all going for the camo guy.
"The stairs master! The stairs!" Choi Sun was still in the grip of the camo boy but she was trying hard to point behind me. "I'll be okay, he's outnumbered so go!"
Fuck! I ran like the coward I was. I ran for my dear life. I made it to the white stone stairs that led upwards. Bright natural light hits me. I run up in a panic. It was a bad idea.
Right at the top waiting for me was the sniper. He was a man, maybe in his mid 30's? At the edge of the rooftop was his sniper positioning downwards. "I was expecting a simple shoot and boot but I guess we're going to have a bit fun today," he laughs wickedly as he walks over to me. He reaches to the side of his belt and pulls out a hand gun. He spins it around with his pointer finger. "The boss is going to be so happy when she sees your handsome little face."
"Who wouldn't be?" I tried to act cocky when in reality I was crying inside.
"Confidence, we like it," the man was now circling me. "Tell me, how much money will we get from your parents in exchange for you."
Every cent they own. "None."
"Oh, I'm disappointed," he stops in front of my face. "Good thing we were ordered to kill you. Well, brought back alive and a little hurt if possible but if worst come to worst," he points his gun at my forehead, "pew, pew."
"Then do it," I clenched my jaw.
"Let me tell you something about me," he pats his chest. "My boss, my mistress, my secret love affair is counting on me to do my job, now! If I were to kill you then that's that. But being the hopeless romantic I am," he does a little pose, "I take her expectations then top it by like, 200%." He walks behind me and whispers into my ear, "I don't disappoint my woman."
That's something you and I have in common, guy. But it was never enough. I never was enough.
He wraps his arm around my throat then rests the barrel of the gun against my temple. "Look at that, a rescue team." He laughs.
Just then a helicopter appears over our heads. A ladder is let out and down comes...
"Choi Seungcheol?!" Did my eyes deceive me? I hardly knew the guy but last time I saw him was the day many secrets were let out, tears were shed and forgiveness were given. The day before that he was drunk as hell but that's a different story.
"Let him go!" Choi Seungcheol screams over the amount of noise the helicopter was making. He slowly brings up his hand guy and points it towards me and this man.
The man laughs loudly into my ears, "shoot, I dare you!"
"One!" Seuncheol's hand was steady.
"You're really going to shoot young man?!" The man laughs even more.
"Two!"
Seungcheol you crazy son of a bitch I swear if-
"Three!"
