Expendable

Beomgyu's pov

The handgun in my hand felt heavier than expected but I think I can manage since I have played something similar in the past.

I was so confident with the multiple weapons and bullet cases I brought, only to get blocked from going upstairs due to the exchange of bullets from first and second floors.

"Taehyun! Watch out!"

I heard Cass yelled before another series of gunshots filled the air. I carefully climbed up the steel stairs and slowly pulled down the latch of the hidden door at the corner floor of the storage room.

I briskly pushed it open and stuck my gun out just in case, however, the white room was empty and the smoke is getting in my way. I covered my nose with the neckline of my shirt and walked stealthily.

Thank god the backdoor nearby is left open and the smoke was gradually thinning out. However, because of that, there's a high probability that the intruders can easily spot me.

A sudden dark veil of fright smothered all over me and my legs just froze from where I stood.

I was still contemplating if I could handle a sudden turn of events because getting abducted once have broken me deep inside and I'm having cold feet right now.

"Are you alright?" I heard Taehyun say and that's when I realized the threat was gone.

I rushed upstairs and saw him checking her bare back for any potential injuries and I'm really glad to know she only got a few bluish bruises due to the impact of the bullets against the vest but nothing life threatening.

"B-Beomgyu?" She quickly ran towards me while pulling her white shirt's hem back down and took the guns off of my hands. "You could hurt yourself with these. Why didn't you wait inside?"

"Don't treat me like a child. I can protect myself." I said with my whole chest even though I have no experience apart from playing with friends.

"Yes I know but when enemies come in hordes it's hard to fight back." She slowly pull the belt full of grenades off of my chest and handed it to Taehyun. "Please put that away from him."

"Thanks. We needed these a few minutes ago." He sarcastically said but since he's smiling so I didn't take it negatively.

"Is the place all clear now?" I asked her while scanning every corners that can be reached by naked eye.

"I'm not sure but if more people have surrounded the area, the butler would've let me know by now."

Cass tried to contact the old man through the radio and he confirmed the cargo ship is somehow abandoning the island.

"They probably saw his rocket launcher and decided it's not worth it but just to be sure, I'll sweep every room downstairs." Taehyun suggested and brought the grenades with him.

"Do you know these people?" I asked her as soon as we were left behind.

"They looked like fresh faces so I'm not sure which clan. Your father is quite popular amongst the rest so everyone and their mother wants his properties."

Cass replied and wiped the droplets of blood on her face using her own shirt and by doing that, she unconsciously showed me a peek of her well-toned abs and an elongated scar over her lower abdomen that is long healed but was still totally visible.

My curiosity is killing me but since it's got nothing to do with me I can't just ask out of the blue and expect her to tell me her life story.

"I gotta get rid with these bodies before they cause us trouble later on." She eventually took her vest off and threw it over the single sofa next to the balcony's door and fixed her black, leather gloves in place.

"Wait, what are you planning to do?"
