"Wide awake through the daylight,
Will you hold me like we're running a yellow light?
Reach for you with my hands tied,
Are we dancing like we're burning in paradise?
ー Hurts So Good
Just as she got out off the car with a loud bang on the ground, Seojoon's eyes travelled straight in her direction. Feeling his gaze on her, she immediately looked back at him.
For a moment there, as their eyes met, it felt like their surroundings had came to an halt. Seojoon looking at her angrily, Jia looking at him apologetically.
His eyes weren't just holding anger, they were holding pain, fear, care, longing, and a lot more things in them.
And she saw every single one of them.
You never realize how much you crave for such gestures unless that one person finally looks at you with more love than usual.
And at that moment, you can't help but tell yourself, 'Oh, I want to treasure this person all my life and all to myself.'
Somewhere deep inside her, Jia too spoke some similar lines to herself at that moment.
Breaking from the trance, Jia came back to reality and in a blink of eye, she took long strides towards the group of nuisance which was abusing Seojoon physically.
Before they could even notice, she took the gun out of the back pocket of the bottoms of one of them and pushed back the one who had just threw a kick at Seojoon, pointing the stolen gun straight to his head.
The guy trembled in fear as his gaze fell upon on her furious ones and then at the gun pointed at his head.
"Woah~ take it easy, girl. What's the deal with you? You weren't so violent that day. Do you even know how to fire a gun? Trying to look so heroic." A gangster from back then remarked as he freed Seojoon from his tight grasp finally to make his way to Jia.
"Oh, lil' boy. I can surely assure you on that." Jia said smugly before leaving the throat of that guy which she had been choking all along only to shoot at that cocky gangster's arm to prove her excellence in shooting.
Just as the sound of firing reached everyone's ears, it seemed like that every single thing and being present there became as still as stone. Everyone had their eyes on the freshly bleeding arm of that guy except Seojoon's... His eyes were only and only on Jia's arm area.
Firing a gun returns about an equal amount of force back to the person firing it too. Her not so old wound opened up again all thanks to her little stunt there. Her white shirt was partially stained with her blood at this point.
"Taemin, Minho oppa and Sara, you guys leave this place as fast as possible. You guys need to get to the court before the hearing ends. I'll be fine handling the stuff here alone. And yeah, drop him off to the nearest hospital on your way too. He's looking like he would faint anytime now."
"But-" Taemin, Minho and Sara started at the same time.
"I'm not going anywhere and neither I'm going to faint." Seojoon spoke up interrupting the words of his mates.
"Do you think this is a joke?" The guy whose arm was bleeding scoffed.
"Shut up. I'm not talking to you." Jia said throwing daggers at the guy before turning her head towards the four of her so-called 'Kidnappers' and continuing, "And you four, you all have already messed up with me a lot by getting me into all this sh*t. Now, let me handle this my way. Get lost from front of my sight before I start beating you up too along with these guys."
"Wait a second- How dare you to assume that you, mere girl, can beat u-"
"SHUT UP!" Jia and the four of them yelled at the poor masculinity supporter.
"She's not gonna stop with her commands. You guys just go. I'm gonna be okay here. And no but's in here" Seojoon announced as a final decision making Jia glare in the direction of the other three daring them to move even an inch without dragging Seojoon along with them.
Though, having no experience of facing Jia's anger, they concluded it's better to follow Seojoon's words in spite of risking it all for Jia.
Though, before they could even run, the group of gangsters blocked their way. And as a result, an another dramatic scene of fighting started. Dramatic and boring as well to be more specific.
Few minutes passed, and the chaos was still there, though our side was stronger all thanks to Jia's experience in facing these kinda physically exhausting situation a lot before too in her job.
Although, It was all over when an another sound of gun shot reached their ear. Jia looked around with a worried look on her face to check if anyone was hurt by the bullet and soon enough, her gaze fell on a very still Minho staring down at his chest area.
Being too caught up in the sudden shock that came to her, she didn't realize someone coming behind her. And, in a blink of eye, a rod of iron was hit on her head making her see forget the stars but the whole damn universe in a couple of miliseconds.
She fell on the ground with her eyes barely open along with Minho who stood a few steps away from her, seeing one by one each of her people getting caught by the opposition and being hit mercilessly before she saw an unknown old man with some people along with him and rescuing them from those gangsters.
And the last thing she saw was that old man sobbing while holding Minho's body before she no longer was able to keep her eyes open.
That old man was none other than Mr. Kim who had been supporting Seojoon and the others from under the nose of the President all along.
"I just have few more years left and then God will surely send for me." Mr. Kim spoke.
"Nah. Just few months for sure." Minho joked while the man couldn't help but laugh too along with him.
"Let's see... Don't assume things too soon, kiddo. Cause you never know~ What if God wants to meet you earlier than me." Mr. Kim joked back.
"That's never happening, oldy." Minho scoffed with an eye roll.
Remembering the conversation that he had with Minho that day when he came to meet him along with others, Mr. Kim broke into tears as his shaking hands caressed Minho's blood stained cheek.
"Yah! Why are you being like this?! You said you're not gonna leave anytime soon?! How can you when I'm still here, breathing, all okay?! This oldy of yours is the one who should leave not you!" He cried out.
"He ain't leaving you or any of us, Uncle. Stop saying things like that so soon. Stay strong. You need to take Sara to the hearing first! Taemin will take care of Minho, he's still breathing thankfully. And I... I'll take her back...to her home." Seojoon said with shaking voice before shifting his gaze from Minho to Jia's pale body lying down.
Mr.Kim hesitantly nodded at Seojoon and spoke up, "My people will take care of these punks. Sara, we need to get to the court as fast as possible. If you even delay for a little bit, all that we have worked so hard for all these years will burn down to ashes. This is your fight against your own father. It's gonna be tough for you but I know you'll make it. I'll be there with you. And Seojoon, are you sure you're gonna be fine taking her to the Park mansions by yourself? I can send some of my guys with you for security reasons."
"I'll be fine. Going there with a whole troop will just make it suspicious. Plus, you'll need your men here more anyways. I'll be off then." With that being said, he lifted Jia up from the ground with his arms in bridal style and got into his car meanwhile Sara and Taemin with Minho too took the cars of those gangsters to depart for their destination.
Driving and thinking about how all this mess was finally coming to an end, Seojoon glanced beside him at unconscious Jia contemplating whether she was too a part of this mess that is finally saying goodbye to him or was she something different...
It was the time to say goodbye to her as well, indeed.
He has to let her go to her right place now...sadly?
