Ttogak- Ttogak-.
Channa's body trembled at the clear sound of high heels. Her leisurely pretense of popularity was getting closer and closer.
From then on, Seo-ryeong could not think of anything. She quickly locked the door to her kitchen and followed her instincts.
"I won't let you die alone."
Seo-ryeong dragged Chan-na, who had fallen, into the storage room in the kitchen. Her blood left a long trail like her tracks wherever she passed, but it was good.
Seo-ryeong threw the large pot in which she had boiled eight servings of soybean paste soup onto the floor. She wiped the floor with the soles of her shoes and quickly removed the blood stains. The high heels seemed to stop for a moment due to the loud noise.
Seo-ryeong eventually locked the warehouse door and hugged Chan-na.
"...Channa's condition is very bad. I think she needs to go to the hospital quickly. Her neck must have been stabbed and it's bleeding so much...!"
-.....
In response to the silent response, Seo-ryeong onl y chewed her lips. I did it because I knew very well what that silence meant.
I knew that I couldn't go to the hospital right now and that it would be difficult to get out of here.Still,'Look, what did I say?' I was grateful that you didn't add such unnecessary words.
Instead, Lee Woo-shin began to understand the new situation.
-What is your current location?
There is an unused storage room in the corner of the kitchen. It's inside.
-Put your thumb into the injured area.
"yes?"
-Press firmly and apply pressure. She die this way, but you have to at least try.
Seo-ryeong pressed down on Chan-na's neck, as if she was sticking her finger into it, which did not stop bleeding. Ugh! Channa stirred, but her blood, which had been flowing so violently, no longer flowed out.
-You must never remove your hand. The moment you take it out, she die.
My whole body was drenched in cold sweat as the words fell heavily. But my fingers were stopping the blood that was about to surge. It felt as if the weakly b eating pulse was touching my fingertips.
Yeah, just that... I could never let Channa die.
-Heo Chan-na was probably the target of assassin ation.
Lee Woo-shin recited as if he was reporting in a voice that showed no emotion.
-It was our fault for failing to take into account the f act that she was a major talent on the North Korean side. The moment Heo Chan-na came out of the country, an order to kill her would have been issued.
It's been 7 years since Channa defected from North Korea. This was an incident that no one expected.
-...No, it's actually strange that Heo Chan-na is holding on.
Seo-ryeong frowned at the strangely muttered words. It was as if she had a nuance that it was impossible for Channa to still be alive.
"mouth... Careful."
-Trained assassins never make mistakes. The reason I didn't kill him with a single cut was....
He spoke softly, wondering what he was thinking.
-It may have been to interrogate or placate him. Heo Chan-na is from North Korea anyway, so it would be good to use her again as a double agent.
-.....
-Heo Chan-na is alive because it hasn't even started yet.
"what..."
-It's torture.
"....!"
-They will attack soon.
Although the subject was omitted, it was impossibl e to tell who it was referring to. At the same time, ttogak- ttogak-. The sound that had stopped for a moment began to continue again. Seo-ryeong's body suddenly stiffened.
-...They're approaching the kitchen. "I think I'll be found out soon.
The moment I whispered that, the old kitchen door started shaking like crazy.
The intruder was talking in a foreign language and banging, banging, and kicking as if he was going to bre ak the door. Lee Woo-shin was silent for a moment because of the loud noise.
What the fuck..., and it seemed like he was swearing.
-Load your gun.
The man calmly calmed his breathing and gave instructions.
-Pull the slide and aim toward the door.
"...."
-Because this is Han Seo-ryeong's first shot, the bullet will probably miss. Then don't panic and pull the trigger a second time. Since you have no skills and bad luck, your gun will eventually be taken away and you will only be counterattacked.
As I listened to the realistic and cold words, even the slightest hope seemed to disappear.
-I'm almost there.
At that moment, the door shattered and fell, and someone came in through the wreckage. My heart was pounding like it was going to explode, but strangely my son-in-law felt calm.
All the space surrounding her melted away, and only my eyes, nose, and ears throbbed vividly. Lee Woo- shin's heartless voice was no exception. All I could hear was the man's voice.
-And, even if I die, I somehow manage to land one foot before dying.
"....!"
-That way I can recognize that bastard at a glance.
It was a heartless attitude of throwing away whats hould be thrown away and taking what should be taken. Nevertheless, Seo-ryeong raised the corner of her mouth.
Lee Woo-shin was unfazed and looked at the situation calmly from start to finish. Every time he felt like he was going to panic, the sharp words he uttered struck his head.
Even though I was unlucky, I couldn't deny that his presence was strangely reassuring.
However, the problem was that her situation was not favorable. Her left hand was blocking her cold neck, and her right hand holding the gun was clogged with sweat and blood, so it kept slipping.
Finally, Seo-ryeong opened her mouth to pull the slide. Her teeth clenched around the upper part of her gun and she tried to pull it out somehow.
As I was trying to drag the slide, I caught Channa's eyes. Her soul stroked her cold skin and reassured her.
It's okay, I'll help you this time. If they come to kill me again.... She promised with her eyes.
I'll try it this time.
At the same time, the warehouse door rattled and shook.
"---!"
My whole body stiffened and I couldn't breathe properly. And that was the same for Lee Woo-shin, who was also listening through the in-ears.
It was as if the waves had passed away and not a single sound of breathing could be heard. Channa also closed her eyes tightly. Still, her eyelids felt strong and her soul felt reassured.
Ttogak- Ttogak-. The slow sound of high heels lingers in front of the door and then moves away.
-Don't be fooled. I already noticed you were there.
Wooshin Lee warned coldly. Know. That man was a hunter, and he was only pretending to hesitate to enjoy the hunt.
-Don't move. Just aim and wait.
Seo-ryeong adjusted her gun and aimed it at the door. From his hands to his arms to his shoulders, there was no part of him that didn't tremble. The muzzle of his gun was unable to properly aim and continued to shake.
Still, if the door opens...
Pull the trigger. Pulling the trigger. It was a moment when she kept repeating that thought as if her head would explode. A low voice lightly scratched my eardr ums as if I had forgotten.
-Oh, bite this tight. The moment it fires, your wrist will be shattered as well.
Finally, the warehouse door suddenly opened.
"---!"
The appearance of the assassin was far different from Seo-ryeong's expectations. He couldn't quite pull the trigger and his hand slipped. Lee Woo-shin shouted like a thunderbolt, but he could not hear properly.
The person who grinned at the two people hiding like rats in the corner was a woman of small stature. Her dark skin, gorgeous eyes, hot pants, tank top, and high heels.
She seemed very far away from the intruder. That moment of hesitation changed everything.
The moment Seo-ryeong's hand slipped, she immediately received a cruel counterattack. With a happy expression on her face, the woman cut her hair with a karim comb bent like a crescent moon.
Seo-ryeong, who missed the shot, reflexively raised one arm to defend her face. One of her arms was repeatedly hacked without mercy.
-Fuck, Han Seo-ryeong!
Her focus was solely on the fingers that were clam ping down on Channa's throat. If you take this out, you die. If you take it out, you'll die. If she moves even a little, Channa will start bleeding again.
Seo-ryeong didn't even flinch or moan once. Finally, as he held on until his arms were tattered, he made eye contact with the assassin, determined to survive.
"....!"
Yes, these eyes. This feeling of discomfort. Where did you see it? I felt it.
At that moment, my body moved as if refusing to think any more. She picked up her gun from the floor and struck it roughly between the assassin's legs.
Then the other person bent his back and took a step back. As expected, I felt something soft in my hand.
The city where I went out with Channa, the alleyway I quickly returned to, the prostitute who lured tourists, and... hot pants. The smell of shoes and strong perfume.
"Ah.. It's a dog, but you're not a girl."
Note: The killer is a man who was watching them when she and Heo Chana were walking down the street.
But he wears women's clothes so that they lose their guard and kill them easily, and the heroine was the first to know this fact the moment she saw him, and she will do something that does not occur to her.^ ^
