"holy fucking shit," soonyoung muttered as the doctor trod on a stray can, causing an audible sound to echoed across the corridor.

that kind of noise wouldn't have been heard in the first place if the room wasn't in a deafening silence.

however, the hall had gone silent when jiwon had grown tired from all the shouting he did earlier that the sound of the stray can being trodden on rang throughout the place.

lee jihoon, you're really done this time. the doctor thought as his breathing became heavier.

beads of cold sweats fell from both his back and forehead as he gulped.

"jiwon! there they are" exclaimed one of his men, who immediately recognized the two from afar.

everything transpired at a breakneck speed.

the last thing jihoon remembered was the loud sound of gunshots exchanging after the blonde soonyoung pushed him to the side to shield him from the bullets.

after exchanging several bullets with jiwon and his gang and successfully confusing them with a smoke screen that jihoon didn't know where in the eternal damnation came from, the blonde swiftly quickly moved both him and jihoon to a room a few meters from the exit to lay low.

"hey hoon, can you run for a few more meters?" soonyoung asked in a whisper.

the smell of gunpowder permeated the room.

"what?" jihoon replied, almost doubting if he's heard that right.

he wasn't a really active person. more likely, he almost failed his physical education subject in high school since he's a lazy ass.

and for the love of the world, he can't even run without tripping or clashing with something.

"listen, here's the plan. i'm going to divert their attention away from you," soonyoung remarked solemnly as he loaded both pistols with the last ammunition he possessed.

yes, he's got two guns. one he'd been keeping hidden since earlier.

on the other hand, jihoon has no idea where those things came from, to tell you the truth.

he added, "and you run as fast as you can."

the younger was about to say something when he noticed a bright red liquid oozing from the older man's left shoulder.

he's been wounded.

"fuck, you're bleeding soonyoung," the doctor gasped at the sight, clearly more concerned than he was supposed to be.

"it's just a scratch," he said, "i'm used to this so it's no big issue. really."

"damn you soonyoung! how on hell did you get in here?" yelled jiwon from the farthest end of the corridor, searching for the two.

soonyoung placed his hand on the doctor's shoulder and said, "listen jihoon."

"don't look at me like that," he said as he turned to face the doctor with a smile. "don't look at me like i'm dying or something." he added.

"but what if— i mean, they outnumbered you," jihoon retorts, his voice skeptical and anxious.

he didn't understand why he was so concerned about the latter. in the first place, they were just doctor and patient, their relation is purely build based on their current standing and it's entirely about business.

nothing more and nothing less.

"jihoon. i can handle it on my own," soonyoung reassured. "don't worry, i promise i'll come after you; it won't take me long."

jihoon stares at the older man; he doesn't like the proposition, but he can't do anything about it.

"i promise i'll live," soonyoung asserted.

accepting defeat, jihoon nods and lets out a trembling sigh.

"the moment i leave this room, don't look back; just run towards the exit; a certain someone will be waiting for you on the first floor," soonyoung continued, as if he had meticulously planned this escape all along.

jihoon has no idea who that certain someone is, but he has faith in the latter.

"are you ready?" soonyoung asked as the doctor nodded.

"go! now's your chance!" exclaimed soonyoung as he rushed out of the room where they'd been hidden earlier as he shot towards jiwon's lackey and like the excellent shooter that he is, he's got them beyond helping.

jihoon did exactly what the older instructed him to do: he ran and didn't look back, despite the fact that he wanted to.

as he left the blonde behind amid the deafening sound of several guns firing, he shook his head, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"i'm going to slaughter you, kwon soonyoung!" exclaimed jiwon, who was too preoccupied with the blonde to notice Jihoon fleeing.

the blonde's plan had gone off without a hitch and all he has to do now is keep his word to the lavender-haired doctor.

he can't die here.

in the first place, jihoon would have vehemently oppose such a thing.

the deafening noises is demoralizing and dusk has descended upon the place following the intense exchange of gunfire from earlier.

"holy crap," the blonde cursed under his breath.

after he managed to shoot all of the lackey down, he wasn't expecting to be shot in exchange to his left leg as a last attempt of retaliation by jiwon's younger brother, jiseong.

in the first place, jiseong is much better than that bastard jiwon but it's not like soonyoung have the luxury to spare an enemy.

having no choice, the blonde concealed himself in a corner of a random room that he's sneaked into once again before he could even lose his footing.

cold sweat began to deip from his forehead as a result of the pain.

"tsk," he said to himself as he ripped his polo's right sleeve and wrapped it around his bleeding thigh.

"face me, kwon soonyoung." he provoked.

"let's have a one-on-one confrontation, like a genuine man should be doing right now!" he growled angrily, standing in the middle of the hall.

he was laughing hysterically that it echoed across the room.

yeah. he'd gone insane, to be sure.

that man is beyond helping and the blonde knew that.

soonyoung hissed to himself. "damn that fucking bastard." as he run his fingers through his blonde locks.
