We have to do this before our body battery run out.

I called them to discuss the plan I have in mind. We have three gun men, Hoshi, Vernon, and Jeonghan, who'll be using Jun's revolver. While Jun will fight The8 close range.

Just as I was about to finish talking, The8 charged at me already. Lucky for me again, Jun pushed me aside and faced him. I appreciated Seokmin for shooting but he missed it since he's using his left hand.

"Chan! Please help Seokmin. Let him rest."
"Okay."

I don't think I explained the plan very well. But since The8 was already on the roll, might as well keep up with him.

Jun's attacks are getting slower but it's enough to keep The8 occupied.

Meanwhile, Vernon tried his tricks again. He threw chairs and plates at him, which he easily kicked away, and Vernon will find an opening to punch him.

These two will confuse the pattern for The8 while Hoshi will shoot him nonstop. It would be best if he hit him, but it doesn't matter. All we need is to distract The8.

Now is the time.

The8 was already expecting attacks from Jun and Vernon, and a gunshot from Hoshi. Hoshi closed in, which The8 noticed. Instead of a gun, Hoshi brought out his spray bottle.

He was caught off guard and hurriedly backed away, but Jun and Vernon didn't let him go easily. They gave Hoshi more than enough time to spray him a lot of his new perfume.

The8 jumped farther for him to sneeze.

ACHOO! AAHHH! ACHOOO!

It's a pity to see him like that. I had patients before who truly sees allergy as so much inconvenience. Also, it may come with difficulty in breathing.

But annoyingly, he fired at us along with his sneezes, so we had to hide again.

For the final blow, Jeonghan will use the revolver to shoot him. I suggested to shoot at his legs or feet since he uses it a lot to deflect.

But because of the random shots, Jeonghan had a hard time looking for an opening so he closed in a little.

BANG.

He finally shot The8.

"ACK- I- I did it, Joshua."

I saw The8's right leg was bleeding. He was putting pressure on his wound while sneezing and tearing up.

Vernon didn't waste a time, he aimed at him again and The8 was shot now on his right arm.

The8 tried ran away, but Jun grabbed onto his robe. Using his ever reliable blade, he cut at the piece where Jun's holding on. And there, he's out of the restaurant.

I turned to Jeonghan and noticed him standing on a puddle of blood.

Eh?

I ran to him and saw The8's blade buried on his abdomen.

"JUN! TOOLS! JUN!"

Chan instead ran to me and handed me the kit. I laid Jeonghan down and tore his shirt. I cleaned it and somehow relieved it wasn't too deep.

But I am shaking. I can't insert the thread in the needle.

"It's not your fault, Joshua." Jeonghan held my hand.
"I'm sorry. You, Seokmin, everyone."
"Shh."

"Joshua, I'm here. I can help." Chan put his hand on my shoulder.
"Thank you. Please change Seungkwan's to clean gauze." As I said it, Chan took the needle and inserted the thread for me.
"Okay." He gave it back. "It's no one's fault. We will protect you even when you don't ask." And he went to Seungkwan.
