1 Stay

"Kib! Hold on, we're almost out." I said supporting her body.

" no. Go on. I won't make it. save yourself..."

"No no no! I won't leave you alone. Didn't we promise each other that we'll stick together? Through thick and thin?" She smiled at me.

"We have. I will always be by your side. Foreve—"

*BANG*

A gunshot. One bullet. That's all it took for her to leave me alone. I stood there oblivious of the shots passing by me, holding the hand of her now collapsed body.

*BANG*

That was enough to bring me back to reality. I have to live. To avenge for her, I have to survive.

*BANG*

The bullet passed by my ear. I felt numb. I couldn't feel anything. All I knew was that I have to live. For her. I picked up a stone and threw it At the guy's direction knocking over his gun. I could feel the boiling blood rushing through my veins. The killing intent, I feel it increase. I picked up the gun

*BANG*

A loud shot rang. It was from me... I killed a man.

"It came from here! Get her."

My instincts took control of me. I shot everyone coming my way. Except for one.

*BANG*

I was shot in my waist.

"You're good. What a waste of talent... if only you just came with us I wouldn't ha—" he didn't finish his sentence when blood came rushing out of his chest. He was stabbed. By who? I don't know. A figure came rushing to me as my vision darkened.

——————————

I started to gain consciousness. I tried to sit until I felt a sharp pain near my belly. Right... I got shot. I dropped back to my bed letting out a deep sigh.

"Ah... you're awake. Here eat this." A tall guy said holding a tray.

"Nuguseyo?"

"I took you to my home after I saw you in the forest. Finish up then I'll take you to your friend." Wow great way to answer my question.

Kib. Did she survive? Impossible... she must have lost a lot of blood.

I finished my food. Then a lady came in holding some clothes which she put on my bed.

"Master said you should pick what you should wear."

I nodded at her. She bowed and exited the room. I picked the black jeans and the plain white shirt. I took the jacket with me just in case and went out of the room.

"You ready?" I nodded at the tall man. He handed me a gun.

"Let's go I'll take you to her."

We boarded a black car. It was nice, though the interior was blue. After a while we reached a cemetery. In a big white bungalow, there was a tomb with no name. Kib. I found my self crying an ocean of tears.

"We couldn't save her. Your friend I mean. When I found you, she already lost a lot of blood while you...you almost died." He said breaking the silence

I stepped closer to her stone and wrote on it: HERE LIES KIM IN BYUL. TIL WE MEET AGAIN.

"You really must care for her... I'm sorry for your loss." I looked up at him. He just stood there with a blank expression looking straight at the stone.

"W-why are you helping me?"

"Cobras. They were the ones who killed your friend."

"What does that have to do with you?"

"Once, they attacked us and took my most beloved treasure. My wife." When he said those words, I could see him trying to hold back his anger a well as the tears.

"I saw you yesterday. It was evident it was your first time to fire a real gun. If you want I can train you."

"And why would I want to hold a gun again?" He looked at me in the eyes.

"Wouldn't you want to get justice for your friend?" I stayed silent. I know he was right. I do.

"Great . I am Kim Seokjin. From now on consider me as your dad and You will be my daughter." He held his hands forward. I hesitated then looked at my friend's tomb before I shook his hand. I'm doing this for you kib.

"Kim Yuta, Dad."
