Blood At Dawn... [Completed]

three°

I walk out and lay on bed. I hold the bridge of my nose in between my index finger and thumb. I sigh at the mess I made. Then there's a knock on the door.

"Um, Haerin? Hyunjin said you looked quite beaten up. I brought aid." A voice from outside the door explains. I laugh since they call me by my fake name. But they can call me that for now.

I stand up and open the door seeing a shorter boy.

"Sorry, I'm Seungmin. I'm in charge of aid and medical care. Mind if I take a look at your wounds?" He asks shyly.

"I guess?" I walk back and sit on my bed. He walks in and shuts the door behind him. He walks over and stand in front of me while opening the medic box in his hands.

"So what happened?" He asks and I scoff.

"Some prick I owe money to." I say and he nods.

"How much?" He says and I hiss as he touches the cotton swab agents my busted lip.

"Sorry, it might sting a little." He explains.

"30 million." I say looking at the wall beside him.

"But I promised him 50 million by noon tomorrow." His eyes widen.

"Why did you do that?" He questions my desicion.

"Chan promised me. And if he doesn't fall through then he'll die before I do." I retort.

"He will, trust me. So do have any other wounds?" He asks and I nod. I raise my shirt and show him my side. He grabs a bandage from the box.

"Shirt all the way off and raise your arms." He says and I follow orders.

"So where is Chan anyways? Do you think I could talk to him?" He continues to wrap my torso in a bandage.

"He's in his office. Probably still trying to pick up from the mess you made." I blush remembering.

"Sorry about that. I was offered 20 million for his death. I couldn't pass it up." I explain and he nods his head in understatement.

"But I had to deal with 3 bullet wounds, fix someone's jaw, and two broken noses." I blush a deeper red.

"Look on the bright side. I didn't kill you guys." I say with a small smile. He cuts the bandage off and tucks it into the rest. He places things back in the box.

"You can put your arms down and put your shirt back on. Take it easy for a little before skill test tomorrow." He explains walking back towards the door.

"But I was going to talk to Chan." I stand up.

"Stay here. I'll bring him to you. Lay down and rest." He commands and I do as told. I sit back on the bed and lay down. I stare at the blank ceiling while waiting. Then a knock.

"You called for me?" He walks in. I sit up and he rushes over to help me.

"I'm fine. I wanted to talk to you about the money you owe me." I say but he is still looking down at my hand.

"I knew it." He mumbles to himself but still audible enough for me to hear.

"Okay I'm on black, anyways I need the money before noon tomorrow." I say and he looks up at me.

"What if I say no?" I fill with rage but breathe out to calm myself.

"Please. I owe people money. If I don't have it before noon tomorrow your dead before I am." I explain trying to stay calm at the situation.

"Did they do this to you?" He voice demanding.

"Does it matter? Will you have the money or not?" I ask.

"I will. Your family now." I roll my eyes. This is why I worked alone. I didn't have to worry for anyone besides myself when out on missions. Meaning no hurt feelings.

"One more thing." I kinda trail off.

"Sure." He smiles.

"What about my parents? You promised to help me find out who killed them." I say quietly.

"I'm working on it. But it's hard when you don't give us your real name." I look away since I've been caught. I mean I should have guessed.

"That's all I need from you. Leave. Seungmin said I'm supposed to rest before skill tests." I say laying back down.

"Okay, good night Haerin." He says and I smile as he walks out. Still called me by the fake name.

I close my eyes trying to forget about my life. Sleep has always been my escape. So I drift off forgetting my pains and worries.

I wake up the same way the next morning. To banging at my door.

"Haerin! It's 11! Hurry!" They yell and I get up. I rush to my suitcase and grab an outfit out. I walk into the bathroom and change. I apply makeup to my face to cover my wounds. I put my hair up and walk out of the room.

"Damn." He says and I push his jaw up shutting his mouth.

"Save it. Where's Chan?" I ask and he leads me to the front.

"Haerin, here." He says and hands me a brief case. I open it and stare at the band's of cash. I smile sadly knowing I could at least have kept some. I close it.

"Okay, I'll be back." I say and he grabs my wrist.

"You think we'll let a member of ours go by themselves. Were going." He says as the other 8 boys start to walk towards the door.

"No your not. Stay behind, you don't need to get involved." I say and rush off. It's almost 12. I run threw people as I make it to the agreed upon meeting spot. I look around the park and spot him on a bench. I walk over and sit next to him casually facing forward.

"50 million, now leave me alone." I say putting the suitcase by my feet and scooting it towards his. He picks it up and opens it.

"Okay, Jessica your free of debt." He says and I stand up before walking off. As I walk I feel as of someone is following me. But turn to see no one. I continue to walk and glance behind me occasionally. As I turn the corner I turn around and stand there as I see a head peek out.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I ask the younger boy.

"Chan had me follow you." He scratches the back of his neck.

"Come on. Let's go." I say grabbing his arm pulling him back with me to the mansion.
