Spill Blood (Lomon Fanfiction)

Chapter 21- Part II

As I sprinted down the hospital corridor, my heart pounding in my chest, I could feel the searing pain in my leg where Yeji had stabbed me. The warm trickles of blood running down my calf served as a stark reminder of the danger I was in. Desperation fueled my every step, urging me to keep moving despite the excruciating agony.

Protecting my stomach became my sole focus as I ran. My hand instinctively pressed against the gentle curve of my belly, cradling my unborn child, as if shielding them from the impending danger. I couldn't let anything harm my precious baby.

Yeji was catching up to me and I could feel her holding my arm before pushing me to the ground. I arch in pain before she place herself on top of me. With evil in her eyes I know I couldn't stop her. I could see the shimmering metal underneath the light that trickles of my own blood.

"You were a nuisance until the end Haejin" Her last words were not reassuring at all. As life flashes before my eyes, I could tell my ending would be dying under Yeji plan.

However, when I closed my eyes a loud gunshot echoed through the corridor. With a jolt I look at Yeji who stumble and collapse to the ground, writhing in pain beside me. I look at the person who did it and a sigh of relief shown on my face. Joon-Gi was armed and shot her at the right moment. And right beside him, Lomon stood in absolute horrified. Looking at Yeji despicable act and his lover that almost died.

Lomon approached me as Joon-Gi and the nurses examine Yeji. Lomon eyes filled with concern as he knelt beside me. "Haejin you're bleeding!" He spoke before calling the doctors to cater for me.

"L-Lomon our b-baby I tried to protect it as much as I could" I could see tears sliding from his eyes at how tense the situation. Even at this moment, I was more concern of our unborn child compare to my own.

"Y-you did well. I'm so proud of you and our child" I could feel his lip on my forehead before the doctor came and took me away from Lomon. Despite the pain, I was finally relief of the situation.

The nightmare was closing in.

Few week has passed since the accident. Lomon help me every step of the way, recovering with the strength he gave me. As I sat in the courtroom, my heart raced with a mix of emotions - fear, anger, and relief. Yeji, the person who had tormented me for months, was finally facing the consequences of her actions.

The charges against Yeji were serious - murder and using Hae-Jung, as her accomplice. It was horrifying to think that someone I once considered a friend could harbor such malicious intentions against me.

The courtroom was filled with tension as the trial began. With the reporters outside of the building trying to get the truthful story, I tried my best to maintain my composure, but seeing Yeji sitting there, unapologetic, filled me with rage. How could someone be so heartless, so cold?

As I listened to the testimonies and evidence being presented, I couldn't help but feel a sense of closure. All the sleepless nights, the constant feeling of being watched, it was all finally being acknowledged and addressed.

As the trial progressed, it became evident that the evidence against Yeji was overwhelming. Witness testimonies, surveillance footage, and DNA evidence all pointed to her involvement in the crimes committed against me. The burden of proof was on her, and it seemed unlikely that she would be able to escape the consequences of her actions.

While justice would soon be served, I knew that the scars left by Yeji's actions would not easily fade away. The trauma I experienced would stay with me, a constant reminder of the darkness that can reside in people we once trusted.

But in that courtroom, as I watched Yeji's cold facade begin to crumble, I couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.

"Lee Yeji, I hereby you for life sentence with no parole!" When the judge made his verdict I gasp in relief. Lomon hugged me when the final decision was made and I could not be glad enough.

I hope that this ordeal would mark the beginning of a new chapter for me. A chapter where I could heal, grow stronger, and leave behind the fear that had plagued me for so long.

As I stood outside of the court, my lawyer Lomon was my spokesperson for the media. He explained in detail the situation and explain the real culprit behind it.

Standing on the side line I search for the man who has helped me far from beyond.

"Thank you, Joon-Gi" I said, my voice laced with emotion. "I don't know what I would have done without your help. You've been an incredible friend throughout this journey, and I'll forever be grateful."

Joon-Gi's face carried a solemn smile as he nodded. "Haejin, I'm just relieved that we were able to put an end to this nightmare. Your safety has always been my priority, and I'm glad we faced this together."

With sincere gratitude in my heart, I reached out and hugged him tightly, cherishing the rare vulnerability that this difficult situation had brought us. It was a bittersweet moment, knowing that our paths would now separate once again, but I couldn't deny the deep-rooted friendship that had blossomed from the ashes of our failed relationship.

As we broke the embrace, we exchanged one final glance, silently acknowledging the bond we had formed. Though our lives were going in different directions, I knew that our paths would cross again, even if it was as friends.

Walking away from Joon-Gi, I couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment. I had come out of this terrifying ordeal stronger and with a cherished friendship that I never anticipated. Little did I know that this experience would shape my life, teaching me the true meaning of gratitude and resilience.
