it's been hours. jennie felt like it was forever. even though it is around 3 am, she couldn't feel an ounce of sleepiness. she is stuck staring at the woman in front of her, clearly getting weaker and pale from the blood she's losing. a cloth won't help it. the wound is too deep. it needs to be stitched.
how did jennie know that? she watched too many movies. even though the woman right there tied her up, and pointed the tip of a gun at her, jennie wanted to help her. "you're still bleeding. let me help."
jisoo chuckles mockingly. she won't fall for that. she knows what she's going to do. "and call the police? i don't fucking think so."
jennie scoffs. "and let you bleed in my café? untie me."
jisoo stayed still, skeptical. jennie releases a tired sigh. "i won't call the police."
the racer briefly looks at her, before deciding to untie her. bette not die here from blood loss. jisoo removes the ropes, placing her gun on a table. once jennie felt freedom, she smiles. "thank you."
then, she rushed to grab her unused first aid kid somewhere at the back of the store, and went to jisoo who was sitting on the floor, leaning on a wall.
she kneels down. jisoo could smell her lavender scent. it reeks of.. feminine. as jennie cleans the wound and dips the needle on a boiled water, she began to stitch the wound.
"agh.." jisoo groans. she was in pain. curse that man who stabbed her on the shoulder.
"stay still." jennie purses her lips. jisoo kept moving, it gives her difficulties to stitch.
"that hurts, princess." jisoo hisses, and glaring was the only thing she could do.
jennie stifles her laugh, attempting to keep a straight face. she is loving what she's doing right now. "i know it does. that's why i'm doing it."
jisoo mentally liked that. she doesn't know why, but she wanted to laugh at what the owner said. "thanks for doing this. in return, i won't kill you slowly."
i guess that's better than being tortured to death. jennie nods. the brunette already planned to run away and call for help once she knew she is clear.
"you're here!" a manly voice interrupts them. jisoo knew who that is. he's one of wendy's men. namjoon.
namjoon kicks the door and aims his gun at jisoo. the racer's eyes widened and shoves jennie to the back of the counter, before kicking a table down to use as her cover.
namjoon pulls his trigger, a various of bullets hitting the table where jisoo is hiding. jennie is beyond in fear on what was happening.
"shit!" jisoo curses when she couldn't feel her gun. she looks around, seeing it in front of jennie.
"throw me the gun, princess!" jennie looks up to see the pistol. with trembling fingers, she slides it towards jisoo.
the racer caught it. just in time, namjoon was reloading his gun. jisoo took the opportunity and points her pistol to namjoon, shooting him on the head.
namjoon falls on the floor, blood gushing out of the hole on his forehead, lifeless.
when there is nothing heard, jennie peeks out. her eyes widened to see a corpse, causing her to gasp. she's having goosebumps.
"there's a dead body in my café." she was processing. jisoo stays on the floor, panting. she moved too much and her wound was stretched. it hurts like hell. "there is a dead body in my café!"
"relax." jisoo groans frustratingly. the woman she's with is such a pain in the ass.
"am i criminal now? oh god i don't want to be imprisoned!" jennie panics, staring at the dead body in horror. jisoo carefully helps herself stand up, and went to the counter.
"what will happen to my future? i still want to get married and build my own family-" and there, jisoo shoved a piece of bread in jennie's mouth, shutting her up.
"that's a lame goal, but eat a bread and quiet down." jisoo rolls her eyes. just as she was about to move away, she felt pain once again. on her other shoulder was a gunshot.
"fucking hell." jisoo felt her limbs weaken, causing her to stumble down. her adrenaline was wearing out. "princess, i'm going to lose too much blood and it'll kill me. there's more of them coming here and now that you witnessed it-"
"they'll kill me too." jennie finishes her statement. she is becoming sane, though everything is happening too rapidly.
"yes. so i need you to take the bullet out. i don't think it's deep."
"w-what? i can't do that!" jennie shakes her head. she's not a doctor- yes she watches movies but if jisoo dies, it'll be her fault.
jisoo heard footsteps outside. it must be the others. "you can! i'll keep you covered."
"i'd rather die!"
"look, they won't kill you. because i will. now you better do what i say or we're both dead." jennie inhales, and grabs her kit, getting a thongs. jisoo removes her shirt, revealing her calvin klein sports bra.
jennie gulps to see her toned body, however was woken up when she hears gunshots again.
she begins to widen the wound, resulting to a yelping jisoo who was firing back at the goons; seokjin and yoongi.
"wait more.." jenne inserts the tool inside, calling jesus to help her that she finds the bullet as soon as possible.
"holy shit!" jisoo yells, diverting her pain to shooting at the men. she shoots seokjin and it was yoongi left.
"i'm picking up something.." the brunette mutters, when she feels something hard touching the tip of the thongs.
"ARGH!" jisoo ran out of bullets, and so threw the gun. yoongi is hiding and he is very good at it.
"i got it!" jennie hurriedly pulls it out due to her scared ass. blood is spilled, jisoo's vision is becoming blurry and double.
out of nowhere, yoongi came and gripped on jennie's hair, pulling the brunette away from jisoo. "ow!"
before yoongi could do anything to the girl, he felt a wooden plank slapped across his face, killing him from the force. jisoo drops the leg of a table, catching her breath whilst looking at the owner. "you okay, princess?"
"am i still alive?" jennie asks. this has got to be a dream. no way this is real.
"yes. you are." the corner of jisoo's lips quivers, then she lost consciousness. her body dropped on the ground beside jennie.
jennie heard a man on his way. no way jennie can handle him. she shakes jisoo, trying to get her back. "wake up! oh my god."
she ran towards the opened door and closed it, pushing the near cabinet to it so that it gives her time to take the stranger to her house upstairs.
jennie grabs her by the arms, and pulls her towards the stairs. she could hear the main door being charged.
once she is in her home, she locks the door and lightly tapped jisoo's cheek. "hey.. wake the hell up!"
with no use, jennie got another plan. she went to the kitchen and went back with a glass of cold water, splashing it on jisoo's face. the racer wakes up, getting up from the floor. "where are we?"
"in my home. upstairs." jennie takes a step away from her, as jisoo grabs the nearest vase. a man- where jisoo finds he is hoseok- came in and the racer throws the vase at him.
jisoo got herself a baseball bat as well, and hits the man at the stomach. "oof!"
then she kicks hoseok down the stairs, eventually breaking his neck and dies. jisoo inspects him, to see if he's still alive.
when he didn't move, jisoo looks at the fidgeting brunette and dropped the bat. "sorry for breaking.. stuffs."
"we're alive." jennie wanted to pass out from the events. she just trusted her life on the hands of a stranger, but jisoo did too.
in the end, jisoo is the one to lose consciousness again.
-
after the intense shootout, someone reported it and now the cops are in her café. jennie stands, caressing her arms. she is now wearing a sweater. "you've got several bodies of one of the most wanted criminals in seoul, which is a good thing."
"now the question is, why are they here?"
"i told you. some girl went in here with a gun and those," pointing at the dead bodies, she continues. "went as well. the girl killed them."
"and where is this girl now?" up in my bedroom. passed out. jennie looks away.
"she escaped. that's all i know." lying to a cop is totally not a great idea. yet here she is now.
"we'll do more searching here before getting out of your hair. the café would still be open, but i advice you not to since there are dried blood and it takes days to take it off."
"good day, to you." the officer nods, and wore his hat back as he turns away from jennie.
"thank you." when the police officers went out, jennie gets inside her bedroom, seeing the stranger on her bed, covered with her blood and wearing a bra and pants.
"what am i gonna do with you now.."
-
jennie shifts on the bed and flutters her eyes open. it was past noon, and the first thing she sees is the stranger about to wear one of jennie's hoodies. "you're awake."
"and leaving." jisoo says, looking at the newly awoken woman. "on behalf of helping me last night, i won't kill you. just don't tell anyone."
jennie did not utter a single word. she is thankful enough that she is spared. but her reputation, her café's career- it is buried. four males just died in there.
"ah!" jisoo grips on her ankle. it was still sprained, and walking was not an option now that it had gotten worse.
"you still can't walk." jennie assists her to the couch. "just rest for a while here."
"you'll be involved in my mess."
"i am already a mess."
"fine. can a borrow a phone?" jennie gives her the smart phone, letting the stranger dial a contact. "seulgi."
"i'm alive. café sol. go there right now. someone will take you to me." jisoo hangs the call up, without waiting for her friend to respond.
"princess, someone's coming over and-"
"i got it. don't worry." she decided to freshen up. someone is coming, might as well look human. "and the name is jennie. not princess."
"jisoo." jennie stops, holding the door frame and turns to jisoo.
"what?"
jisoo eyes her. "i'm jisoo."
