Please, Love Me

Chapter 8

DAHYUN POV:

We had it all figured out. Sana was to stay with Jisoo for protection in a room Mina hadn't seen yet in the building-- Jennie's room, mostly because Jennie never let anyone into her room. Tzuyu was going to be in Mina's way first and if she got past Tzuyu it was going to be me, then Lisa, Rosé, Momo and lastly, Chaeyoung. Jennie was supposed to be around, with her skills as a sniper ready if things really did get that bad. We were hoping she wouldn't get to Chaeyoung because we really weren't sure if Chaeyoung would be capable of stopping Mina.

It was scary, terrifying really. We sat quietly for a moment just waiting for Mina to burst through those doors angry and murderous. We were all on our toes with nervous energy flowing through us.

Then I heard it, the door slamming open and Tzuyu yelling. She was here.

"MINA STOP THIS!" Tzuyu yelled.

I could the two of them fighting with loud grunts and yells. Then I heard a loud thud against a wall and I knew that someone was just thrown, I just couldn't tell if it was Mina or Tzuyu. I hoped neither was dead. I figured out who the thud was as soon as Mina came running towards me and fear seemed to grow inside me. Mina seemed feral, or beyond so, and it was blatantly obvious that I was going to lose this fight, but I needed to at least try.

I braced myself as she came at me, eyes narrowing darkly as if they were peering into my soul. To say that I was terrified was an understatement. 

"Move," Mina simply said.

"Mina, I will not..." I said, trying to sound confident, but the slight shakiness of my voice was still easily heard.

"Dahyun, I just need to get to Sana," Mina said, almost calmly, as if this were her will.

Then it really hit me. Mina had to have done this in some way out of her own will. The Mina I knew would fight even DNA altering chemicals for her family and for Chaeyoung. However, she was about to lose Chaeyoung again. Chaeyoung was technically still dead... Her body would fail soon and I'd lose my sister... again. I was going to go through loss just as Mina was, but for Mina, her life depended on Chaeyoung, or at least her sanity did.

"Chaeyoung... This is how you're going to show yourself to Chaeyoung before she dies? As a monster ready to kill her sister?" I asked quietly, hoping to trigger something, anything, within the girl.

It seemed to have worked because all of a sudden, all of her features softened. It was only for a short period of time, but she looked at me with genuine pain and genuine need for love. The anger and instability all came rushing back in a matter of seconds however. She shook her head aggressively as if the physical action would somehow clear her obscure head.

"Move," Mina said again, her voice even darker than before.

I wondered how Tzuyu had done this. I wondered how just earlier, Tzuyu was faced with Mina just like me. She must've been as terrified as I was, facing our sister's lover. I sighed quietly, but made a mental note to quickly tell the others to mention Chaeyoung as much as possible if I was still conscious after this.

"I said, no," I said, firmly this time, not shakiness in my voice. I was going to protect, and Mina would never murder her sister, not today.

Mina came running at me dangerously. I barely managed to dodge out of the way of her fist. I spun around just in time, when I faced her again, I landed a quick hit to her jaw, which really didn't do anything to her...

She came at me again, her fighting more coordinated than mine and obviously better as well. It wasn't like her hunter past had been simply erased from existence and that was very clear here. She hit me, hard, in the stomach causing me to recoil and fall form the pain.
