My Downfall | Killers List #3

Protect

"I'm scared" Umji whispered with the most innocent and fearful eyes.

"Did you bring the gun that I told you to bring?" Sowon asked.

"No. I thought you brought it with you" the two both widened their eyes.

"I told you to bring it" Sowon angrily whispered.

"I forgot. I'm sorry" Umji kept glancing back at the men getting closer to them.

"Stay behind me." Sowon pulled Umji behind her back. Sowon wasn't the greatest or nicest person, but she was always going to protect the others.

"Don't let them kill us" Umji kept her hand glued to Sowon's shaky hand.

"I'm not going to" Sowon had a poker face as they walked towards her. Her and Umji were the only two standing up, and Sowon's height made her very noticeable.

"You. Give us everything you've got" Sowon was unfazed by the American boy pointing his gun at her head.

"Listen here. I'll give you all my money, just let us go" Sowon didn't know whether to be nice or mean. All she knew is that there is no way in hell that she was going to be nice to someone who is trying to harm her and Umji.

"That's not how this is going to work" the much younger boy grinned.

"You can kill me but not her" Sowon kept Umji hidden behind her back.

"I get to make the decisions here, not you. Looks like someone just went shopping" he motioned for the shopping bags that belonged to Umji and Sowon.

Sowon immediately let go of Umji's hand and attacked him. Umji had no clue what to do, she stood there in utter shock. She saw the other three men running towards her and Sowon and she began to panic. Sowon noticed them running at her out of the corner of her eye.

"Umji they don't have guns! Only he does. Fight them!" Sowon turned around and shouted. She was still trying to maintain dominance over the little boy.

Umji stood there for another few seconds before she also began to charge at the other men. It wasn't often that Umji fought using her hands and legs but she still remembered how to and she knew she was good at it because she was taught by the one and only Jung Yerin who was an expert in fighting without weapons.

She ducked underneath one of their swinging arms and grabbed his head only to slam it against the metal pole. There were many people that ran to the back of the doors with terrified expressions.

Sowon was soon underneath the heavier man. She was too weak to lift his body off her after wrestling him for a minute or so. They were now fighting over the gun. He had it pointed at her neck but she kept pushing it away. He was way too muscular for her to be able to beat him.

She looked over at Umji for help but she didn't want to distract her. Umji was busy fighting off two men, not just for her own survival, but for everyone else on this train. She felt bad that there were a couple of little kids that had to witness this.

Umji knocked one man out with a single punch. He was a weak one anyways. She proceeded to fight off the other guy but she turned around when she heard a gunshot. She sighed when she saw that Sowon had shot the guy that was now laying on the floor.

Sowon dropped the gun on the floor and took a deep breath. The man on the floor scrambled for the gun while Sowon walked away to help Umji. She only got a few feet ahead though.

Umji turned around when she heard another gunshot and a body drop onto the floor nearby her. She turned around and saw Sowon with her hand over her stomach. She was leaning against the seat still trying to catch a breath.

Umji didn't have time for this. She elbowed him in the face and grabbed Sowon. She wrapped Sowon's arm around her back and helped her get off the train. She quickly kicked the man underneath his chin and knocked him out cold. She then quickly tried to get Sowon to her car before the police arrived.

"Fuck, it hurts." Sowon kept her hand over the bleeding wound.

"I know. I'm gonna get you home as fast as I can." Umji started the engine and sped off.

"Don't take me back to my place. Take me to Eunha's house, Yerin will know what to do" Sowon warned Umji before she took the wrong turn and went to a different location.

"Hang on a litte longer ok? We will be there soon." she worriedly looked over at Sowon who's skin was turning very pale.

"Get her on the table. Hurry" Yerin rolled the table over to Umji and pushed everything off it and onto the floor.

"What happened to her?" Eunha rushed over to her side.

"A couple of guys came onto the train and next thing you know they have a gun and are harassing everyone. Sowon tried to fight back but she was shot" Umji explained. She couldn't add in the detail now, she was too worried about the eldest member of the group.

"Just give her some space for a minute. I need cleansing alcohol and stitches with a needle. Forget the anesthesia, we don't have time for that. What kind of gun was it? Because she is bleeding out a lot" Yerin tried to examine the wound but the blood blocked her vision. She took a pair of tweezers and pulled the bullet out. She immediately noticed the bullet and what gun was used to harm Sowon.

"Desert Eagle" Yerin mumbled as she looked at the bullet carefully and closely.

"Is she going to be okay?" Eunha was biting her nails due to stress. She was loosing her cool over here but she didn't want to seem too obvious in front of Eunwoo. Of course she would be stressed about her friend being shot. But Eunha made it sound like her and Sowon weren't that great of friends anymore so why would she be worried so much?

"Yerin can I help?" A drunk Eunbi walked into the room. She was stumbling all over the place. A wave of dizziness had suddenly overcome her and she collapsed into Eunwoo's arms.

"Get Eunbi out of here, she'll only be a distraction" Yerin shook her head in disappointment.

"Will do" Eunwoo helped Eunbi walk towards the door.

"Not you. I wasn't talking to you. And I don't want it to be you that helps her to her room. I don't trust you." Yerin suddenly spoke up. It was a bit rude but Yerin didn't care. She wasn't going to let someone else, especially a man she didn't know very well, take Eunbi to her room.

"Eunha please help Eunbi to her room. I'm sure you don't want to see this anyways" Yerin looked at Eunha. Eunha complied. She knew Yerin wasn't asking her to do it, she was demanding her that she do it.
