My Downfall | Killers List #3

Savoir

"Sowon shoot the damn target!" Yerin shouted into the mic as she grabbed the back of Umji's shirt and pulled her behind cover as bullet flew right pass her.

"I can't see through these lenses! They're blurry! Eunbi put the wrong ones in!" Sowon didn't even try to look through the sniper, she had already given up.

"Damnit Eunbi!" Yerin and Eunbi both facepalmed.

"I can't do this!" Sowon suddenly took off towards the car.

"Sowon where are you going?" Eunha got up to chase after her.

"Eunha don't! You're gonna have to do this. I know you've never used a sniper but you've seen Sowon do it so many times, I'm sure you'll do just fine. Just try the best you can and shoot the target. I know it's blurry but try your best" Yerin tried to calm her down. She knew Eunha was panicking inside. It wasn't often that she got to shoot a gun.

"Here I go." Eunha had her eye on the target but she knew it wasn't going to be a direct shot since it was hard to see. Her index finger slowly began to press against the trigger until she saw Sowon coming back over to her with a box in her hands.

"Get out of my way" Sowon ripped the sniper out of Eunha's hands and unlocked the red box.

"Eunha what are you waiting for? Shoot" Yerin called out again, not realizing what was going on.

"Sowon is doing something hold on" Eunha focused on what Sowon was busy doing.

Sowon knelt down and grabbed a pair of new lenses out of the red box full of equipment. She slowly and carefully tried to change the lens. She had done this so many times and she knew she was good at it but this wasn't just some regular sniper that she didn't care about.

"Sowon" Eunha grabbed her trembling hands. "You can do it, I've seen you do it" Eunha reassuringly smiled at her.

Sowon set everything down for a moment and looked up as she took a couple deep breaths. She let her hands rest on her lap for a few seconds while she tried to relax. She then picked up the sniper and calmly changed the lenses. The whole time she was filled with anxiety. She could not and would not break her most valuable item.

"You did it!" Eunha put her hand in the air to give her a high five but Sowon ignored her. She wasn't trying to be mean, she was trying to get her job done.

"Target in sight. Get ready" Sowon aimed at the bright red flannel.

Sowon waited for a response but she didn't get one. She didn't even hear shots being fired anymore. She looked around and saw that all the men were laying dead on the floor but one who was still standing. Eunbi was still hiding but Umji and Yerin were frozen stiff. She looked back at the target and noticed the gun in his hands pointing at Yerin's head.

"Take the shot" Yerin whispered into the mic.

It was too loud though which only helped the man realize someone was up in the window. He looked up and fired a bullet within a blink of an eye. Sowon and Eunha both quickly ducked and watched the bullet fly threw the window and the glass shatter, leaving a scratch across Sowon's sniper.

Sowon was too busy to notice it. If she didn't get up within a few seconds then Yerin would be dead and perhaps Umji too. Sowon scrambled to her feet and aimed at the target again. She was too focused to even notice Eunbi who was running up behind Yerin and Umji.

Sowon's finger slowly pressed against the trigger but suddenly she heard a gunshot which startled her because she knew she hadn't shot yet. She quickly fired one single bullet when she realized he had tried to shoot Yerin. Yerin never would've made it if it weren't for Eunbi.

Eunbi kicked Umji's side so she was out of harms way while she wrapped her arms around Yerin's stomach and jumped to the side, the bullet barely scratching Eunbi's clothes. Sowon sighed when his body dropped to the floor in almost like a slow motion way.

"You can let go now..." Yerin looked down at Eunbi's arms that were still tightly wrapped around her.

"Right. Ahem" Eunbi coughed as she let go and stood up to her feet.

"Did you see that?!" Sowon turned to Eunha with a proud smile.

"Of course I did. You're amazing" Eunha quickly disconnected both her and Sowon's mics so she could just give her one quick kiss.

"Let's get the fuck out of here before more of them come. I already lost enough bullets today" Yerin sighed as she walked to the car. She glanced over at Eunbi for a second and rolled her eyes, but she smiled too.

"Yeah and it's cold out here" Eunbi shivered.

"Get over it little baby" Yerin responded.

"Do you guys feel that? It's about to rain. Whoever gets to the car last is a rotten egg!" Umji raced to the nearby vehicle. Sowon and Eunha were already inside waiting so it was only left up to Eunbi and Yerin.

"Aren't you gonna go?" Eunbi looked at Yerin with confusion written on her face.

"Walk with me." Eunbi did not expect that to come out of Yerin's mouth. "I'm exhausted anyways." Yerin sighed again. She did seem tired.

"Ok but don't try to run last minute. We're only one hundred feet away so if you try to run now I'm gonna beat your ass" Eunbi laughed as she awkwardly scratched her neck. 

"I won't. You can win. Think of it as a thank you for saving me. By the way, thanks for saving me" Yerin kindly smiled at her. Eunbi couldn't help but smile back, Yerin's smile was so sincere and genuine, she knew Yerin was actually grateful that she saved her from being shot.

"Doesn't matter, no need to thank me. I'll always be here for you until the end"
