BULLET TO THE HEART- Chaeyoung x Male Reader

CHAPTER 5

SANGWOO'S POV
I follow Mei until one of those houses, and once we enter, I find one of the soldiers trying to force a girl. When I said that this people needed more training, I didn't not only mean skills and a good body shape. But also discipline and respect.

-Soldier: A bitch like you must serve the heroes like me... If you don't resist it'll be much better. You'll feel good... (smirks)
-Mei: (tries to push him)
-Soldier: Take your dirty hands off of me! (pushes her)
-Mei: "Let go my sister!"

I can't allow this kind of attitude, we are soldiers who fight for our country. But we've been instructed to be polite and to respect. I take my gun from my gun, and although Mei tries to stop me, I shoot at the boy's leg.

-Soldier: (groaning in pain) Ugh... Who the hell-- Colonel! (confused)
-Sangwoo: (puts the gun back inside the back and gets on your knees) "I sincerely apologise for my soldier's attitude. We'll leave now" (gets up)
-Soldier: Why are you doing that?! (pissed) Where's your honour?! They are just farmers... And we've been months without seeing a woman... We are on our right to-
-Sangwoo: If you keep on talking nonsense, the next bullet will go between your eyebrows... (serious) "We'll leave your lands now, sorry once again-
-Mei: "You are going the right way, just follow the track, try not to get deep inside the forest or you'll get lost"
-Sangwoo: "Thanks Mei" (smiles)
-Mei: "Thanks Sangwoo, for saving my sister" (bows)

I take the soldier to the base and make one of the doctors treat him. I didn't want to be this rude, but now the others will know that I won't hesitate of they break any rule.

-Jungseo: Sangwoo, was it really necessary?
-Sangwoo: He was forcing a girl, Jungseo. She was around 17 years old? I could feel the fear through her eyes... I had to option.
-Jungseo: (sighs and smiles) You are really something else... You are able to shoot at one of your men if you think that they are doing something wrong... Amazing.
-Sangwoo: I'll do whatever needed to follow my life philosophy... (smiles) Now let's keep on going...
-Jungseo: Yeah, everyone we are leaving! Pack everything again!

We continued to Shandong, and once there, we used some jeets prepared for us, to head to Beijing, where later on, we took an old train towards Jilin.

Our trip on train, was really long, it took us around a week to reach Jilin. The machine was old, and it was not half fast a normal car is. I was tired, I missed Korea already.

I could only look around, and bump with different faces that expressed more less the same, fear. We were arriving to our destination, and soon we would need to face those rebels.

I looked around, and some of them were holding precious objects. Some other were singing songs, I even heard one of Twice's which reminded me even more to Chae. And some others were just accepting their fate and sleeping.

This is a real war. Welcome to the reality. The fact that we are soldiers trained to kill, doesn't mean that we have no feelings, we have them. Even stronger, because we know how is it being close to death.

Now, we are in Jilin, crossing the last line between peace and war. Literally. Once we entered Heilongjiang, we would go to Yichún and do what we are supposed to.

-Time skip until you reach Yichún-

-Jungseo: We are here...
-Sangwoo: Right, now we just need to wait for the Chinese soldiers to join us. Set a camp and tell me if something happens, I'll try to contact with their colonel...
-Jungseo: Yes, sir!

The hours start passing by, and I'm not able to contact with the group that was supposed to come here to help us. What's going on here?

-Jungseo: Sangwoo, you need to sleep, it has been already more than a day since you last slept...
-Sangwoo: They haven't answered yet, I need to be stuck to the radio, just in case...
-Jungseo: I'll do it, please, sleep a little bit... (worried)
-Sangwoo: Jung-
-Jungseo: I'm being serious...
-Sangwoo: (sighs) Fine, fine, tell me if something happens...

I lay down at the floor with my sleeping bag and fall asleep really soon. Guess I was really dead tired. However, after I don't know how many tome, I feel how someone is shaking me nonstop.

I open my eyes to meet with Yungheo's looking pale. What the hell is going on? I quickly get up and head towards Jungseo who seems to be talking with someone.

-Sangwoo: What's going on here?
-Jungseo: This boy, he's one of the group supposed to join us...
-Sangwoo: Why is he all hurted?
-Jungseo: The rebels attacked them before they could meet us... He's the only one who survived...
-Sangwoo: (gulps) No way...
-Jungseo: Sangwoo, they are beasts...
-Sangwoo: It's okay, its okay, make the doctors attend him... I need to think on our next movement...

I head to one of the tents, and when I sit, I notice that someone entered too.

-Sangwoo: What is it cadet?
-Yungheo: I was wondering if everything is okay... I still haven't taken Chinese classes... So I don't understand, what lieutenant was talking about with that boy before...
-Sangwoo: Hmm... I'm not gonna lie, something bad happened. We have it really difficult now...
-Yungheo: Am I allowed to ask what happened?
-Sangwoo: In short, the Chinese group supposed to join us, disappeared. The rebels ended with them... We'll need to fight against them alone.
-Yungheo: But, that means-
-Sangwoo: Yes, we might die...
-Yungheo: (gulps)
-Sangwoo: Afraid?
-Yungheo: N-No sir...
-Sangwoo: Don't lie, even me, I'm afraid. I don't want to do this... (sighs) I want to go back home... But, as your colonel, my duty is to guide you to the victory. We'll face the rebels, and we'll win.

Or at least, I'll try my best and leave my soul at the battlefield.
