Chapter 26: Shoot

_JACKIE_

"Shoot him" Daniel said while pointing his index finger to Yoongi. My eyes widened in fear and confusion. Did he really want me to kill him? I looked up at Yoongi and he mirrored my expression. Dread and agony were brimming in his eyes, yet there was a determination in them while mine were overflowing with painful tears. 

"We don't have forever Jacklene, hurry up and shoot him" Daniel yelled, making me flinch. Even before I could think it through properly, I mustered some courage and pointed the gun to Daniel. With trembling fingers, I held it up to his forehead.

"Tsk tsk tsk, don't do anything stupid dear. Even if you shoot me, you won't get out of here alive. Don't forget that you are out numbered" Daniel spoke up nonchalantly. Realisation hit me and I dropped my hands down in defeat. What was I supposed to do?

"Okay, let me make this easier for you" saying so, Daniel recoiled his own gun and pointed it to me. "You shoot him or I'll shoot you" he exclaimed with a smirk. At this point, I was regretting every rash decision I made, letting Yoongi go, chasing after him, putting him in such a situation. It was all my fault. For my stupidity, I'd have to kill someone I love so dearly.

I felt a soft warm palm wrap around my fingers that were clutching the gun. I turned around to face Yoongi who was already staring down at me. His eyes held a serenity as he put on a faint smile.

"Do as he say Jackie, shoot me. You have no other choice" he exclaimed while placing his hands on my wet cheeks.

"What are you saying Yoongi? Are you crazy? I can never hurt you" I burst into tears but he didn't shed even a single drop. I hugged him tightly as I sobbed on his shoulder. He started caressing my hair.

"Jackie, try to understand" he broke the hug. "If you don't shoot me, Daniel will kill the both of us. I don't want that Jackie. Won't you keep my last wish?"

"Don't say that Yoongi. You are not dying. You are coming with me, to our camp" I cried even more.

"I wish I could do that. But guess what, God doesn't want a happy ending for me" Yoongi let out a sad chuckle as he started tearing up himself.

"Yoongi please-"

"Jackie, I want you to shoot me, go back to the camp and live your life happily with Taehyung. I am sure he will love you as much as I do" with that, Yoongi pulled my hand up to his chest, right near his heart. "remember this Jackie, I'll always love you, even if I'm not there to show it to you" he pressed on my finger that was resting on the trigger.

Bang!

I became numb at the moment. It was hard for me to digest what just happened. Yoongi's lifeless body fell on my feet with a loud thud, his eyes closed, his lips turned up into a sad smile. The gun fell from my hands and I fell on my knees in front of him.

"What have I done? I killed him!? How could-"

"Good job" rage started burning my blood into thin ashes at Daniel's comment. I made myself believe that it was not my fault, instead it was his fault. He killed my father, and now he made me kill my love. I was not going to leave him until and unless I get my revenge.

I looked down at Yoongi's body and noticed a smoke grenade hanging from his pants pocket. Bingo! I, as secretively as possible, took the grenade out.

"I have another job for you dear Jack-" I didn't let him finish the sentence. I pulled out the key from the bomb and threw it towards him. Within a second, the place filled with smoke, blocking their view completely. I quickly took back the guns that we had dropped when the guards came in. I ran to a shelf and hid myself behind it.

Just when I noticed the smoke fading away, I pointed my gun at the guards one by one and shot them to death. Both of them fell on the ground, in the pool of their own gore. When the smoke completely faded away, the scared figure of Daniel came into view.

I finally came out of my hiding and started walking towards him with slow strides. He looked up at me with scared eyes as he started searching for his gun.

I went closer and shot him on his right shoulder, "This is for killing my father."

I shot him on his shin "this is for making my mother cry."

"I am sorry Jackie, please let me go. I'll never bother you or your camp ever again" he joined his hands and begged in front of me. Blood was continuously pouring down from his wounds. He cried vigorously but I was too raged to forgive him.

I finally shot him right in between his eyebrows "and this is for killing my Yoongi."

Daniel's body fell to the floor, motionless and still and a sadistic grin appeared on my lips. I avenged my father and I took my revenge. The wish I made on my every birthday came true. Yet, I wasn't happy.

I ran back to Yoongi and sat down beside him. The tears came back as I couldn't resist them anymore.

"I am sorry Yoongi. I never wanted this to happen. It's all my fault" I kept on crying. I placed his head on my lap and ran my fingers through his hair. "I took your revenge and I'll go back to the camp, just as you wanted me to. But I can never be happy again. You know why? Because Taehyung might love me the way you did but I will never love him the way I love you" my speech was interrupted by a sudden voice.

"You love me?"
