MC POV
It seemed like an eternity, but you finally felt the car come to a halt. Shaking off the prier events, you desperately focus on your one and only goal. Save Saeyoung.
Without a moments notice you rush out of the car, your safety the least of your concerns as you slam open the doors and begin your race down the long winding hallways. Finally, you fall upon two sickeningly familiar doors, bursting through them you were met with a number of large computer, and Saeyoung, tied up against the wall.
Saeyoung POV
I was alone…so alone my only company being the green letterings that filled the computers, my salvation, just out of my reach. There to taunt me. The only thing that kept me sane was her. Knowing that she was safe, made this all worth it. I could figure this out with Saeran, I just can't lose her. I even started to imagine her, breaking through those doors and untying these restricting ropes.
Her beautiful "Y/hair color" hair freely flowing behind those glowing "Y/eye color" eyes. I imagined her slapping my face, yelling my name, "Saeyoung…Saeyoung! SAEYOUNG!"
This wasn't a dream…
I examined my now freed hands, then looked up into her eyes and cupped her cheeks.
This was real.
I couldn't stop the stream of tears from falling, I wasted no time in pulling her into a desperate, loving embrace. "MC…MC you came…are you alright?!" I voiced through my sobs. Hiding my face in the crook of her neck, taking in her heartening scent.
"Saeyoung I'm fine. I'm sorry I left you…I'm sorry I couldn't come sooner…" the "Y/hair color" haired girl whispered, her voice failing her as well. I broke the embrace, tenderly cupping her cheeks, I declared, "MC, lets get out of here. I'll protect you this time. I promise." It sounded more like a desperate wish then a promise, but her "Y/eye color" eyes glistened in the dimly lit room as she nodded in consent. Her face fell however, as she spoke with concern, "There's a lot that's happened. We need to find Saeran, I'll fill you in on the way to the car."
I nodded in agreement, turning my attention to the door she came bursting through, "Come on, lets get out of here."
As soon as we reached the car, the "Y/hair color" haired girl beside me quickly stated the destination to the driver, and just like that, we were off. Leaving that horrid castle like fortress behind. I was terrified for Jumins, Saeran's, as well as MC's safety. Silently I vowed that I wouldn't let anything hurt the woman beside me.
Noticing her worried expression, I made a bold, yet oddly natural move to interlace her fingers with mine. Offering a small moment of comfort, and to my surprise, she interlocked hers with mine as well, moving her head to rest on my shoulder. I silently thanked the Gods above for my tomato red cheeks being out of her view. I rested my chin on her head, offering soft circles into the palm of her hand. At this point, I felt my cheeks and hair color were indistinguishable.
We stayed that way for the majority of the ride, a cell phone rang, breaking the tranquil air. The woman beside me quickly pulled out her phone, the collar idea reading Jaehee Kang,
"Jaehee?"
"MC?! Thank gosh you picked up! I'm not sure what's going on but I thought I should tell you. Apparently Mr. Han has been taken to the hospital, sources say he was shoot…but that's ludicrous right? I mean who would shoot the CEO of C&R's son?"
MC and I stayed quiet, looking into each others eyes thinking the exact same thing,
Saeran.
Jaehee continued,
"I haven't gotten ahold of Mr. Han yet, but sources say that he's alright. Do you know anything?"
The "Y/eye color" eyed girl was at a lose for words, a moment passed before she spoke,
"I'm afraid I don't…do you know where the shooter is now?"
"No, it's scary to think, but he got away. Oh I have to go, there's so much work this incident is really keeping C&R busy. I'll send you the address of the hospital in case you want to visit. Talk to you later!"
beep
We looked at each other, processing everything that was just said before I held her hand reassuringly,
"I have a plan."
The plan was simple enough, I was in the CCTV room, just down the hall from Jumins hospital room. Apparently the bullet just barely got his shoulder, doctors said his injury wasn't serious at all. Thank goodness. I felt terrible for using MC as bait but at this point, we had no other choice, and I swore that nothing would hurt her. I'm keeping that promise.
I waited, my guilt wallowing up inside as my thoughts entertained all the worst case scenarios. The only thing keeping me sane through this whole endeavor, was watching her through the CCTV. She was giving me strength.
I will keep her safe.
MC POV
You sat beside Jumins bed, staring out the large open window, framing the bustling city of Seoul. You weren't sure what floor you where on, but you knew it was high. In-between your slight glances toward the CCTV every 2.35 seconds, you prayed for this simple, yet terrifying plan to work. Yet deep down, you trusted Saeyoung that it would work.
You also noticed how the man laying down wasn't actually asleep, better yet pretending to be. It took you a moment before attempting to break his act,
"Jumin, you know the plan right?"
A smirk played at the edge of his lips as he replied, "Yes, your bait so Saeran comes, I tackle him, then Saeyoung comes in with reinforcements and takes it from there."
You smiled, satisfied with the answer.
Now the man opened his eyes, as he turned his head, he said with his usual tone, yet a hint of compassion that was difficult to describe, "More importantly, are you alright?"
You smiled again, turning to look at the CCTV pointed above you, "Yes, thanks to him."
A moment passed before the man spoke again, this time, in a distance, yet grateful tone, "I wish nothing but happiness for you MC, thank you for being my strength at that time."
His face was turned away from you; however, you knew everything from the tone of his voice. A silence on the verge of awkwardness filled the air, you were about to speak before something long and small flew passed your vision. You looked to your side to find a dart pierced neatly on the mans neck, "Jumin…Jumin…?!" fear started to run through your veins as you turned in the direction of the source. You were met with two mint green eyes staring back at you through the open window.
His eyes pierced your soul as you felt the life rush from your cheeks, replaced with a cold unforgiving panic. This was not part of the plan.
He quickly and swiftly shot another dart toward the CCTV camera, shattering its screen.
"Tranquilizing dart." The man with white hair jumped through the window, removing the rope he'd used to reach it, he began quickly walking towards you. In your moments of desperation, you searched for anything you could use to fight back the on coming threat, your eyes finding only the chair you had been residing in.
In one swift movement you quickly lift the chair, propelling its wooden frame across the room towards the boy. Only to have him duck instantly avoiding the attack completely, grabbing your limbs, rendering them useless. You struggled against his hold as he slowly started walking back toward the window he came in, when a loud crash echoed off the hospital walls.
It grew louder and louder, screams filled the air holding Saeran's name, the owner behind the door. The door seemed as if it would break any moment by the invaders futile attempts to break it open, Saeran must have hacked into the security system and locked it. You thought, however you quickly shook the thought from your mind, focusing on the task at hand.
You could feel Saeran's uncontrollable state growing more and more unstable with every attack on the door. Finally, the door broke, revealing a red headed hacker with caution tape glasses, his expression filled with affection, and sorrow.
"Saeran…" the red haired boy choked.
Saeyoung POV
The blood rushed from my face at the sight before me, the CCTV screens showed a white haired man hanging by a rope out the open window. The man filled the screens for only a breath of a second as the monitors, all in unison, filled with black void.
It's started.
Ignoring my shaking hands, I rushed out of the room, putting everything I had and more into getting into that room with my twin brother, and the beautiful girl I never deserved.
Once there I frantically tried opening the large door, locked. Did he really figure out what we were planning?!
I started throwing myself at the door, using all the might I could, every bit of strength I could muster. Nurses and patients in the hall all started running, as I cried,
"SAERAN!"
Finally, the door broke, jumping through the large crack I created, I was met with the sight of the girl I've grown so close too, in the deadly hands of my one and only brother.
"Saeran…" I chocked, I had so many things I wanted to say yet could speak nothing but his name. I stepped closer toward them, the two people I cared about the most in this world.
"Saeran, I know your hurt and I know you probably hate me…but please…I was told you were happy…"
"LIES!" Saeran cried, confusion and hatred filling his voice.
MC spoke with her determined "Y/Eye color" eyes, "Saeyoung never abandoned you! He was trying to save you this whole time!"
Something changed in his eyes, a flicker of something I couldn't quit put my finger on, yet it vanished to his cold, furious expression. I tried taking another step toward them.
It happened in a flash, in one swift movement Saeran backed up toward the window, pushing the "Y/hair color" haired girl out, hovering over the bottomless drop. Holding onto nothing but her wrist.
Not her. No. You can't take her.
Beads of sweat rolled down my temple as my mouth ran dry, her scream as she dangled there, utterly destroyed me.
"YOU LEFT ME TO DIE! THIS IS YOUR PUNISHMENT FOR ABANODNING ME!" The white haired boys voice howled.
"Saeran…no…" I whispered, still unable to process the reality I was faced with. "Please…don't do this…" I said a little louder.
My pleas fell upon deaf ears as he lifted his pinky from the girls' wrist, my heart started beating so rapidly I felt numb.
I tried again, "Saeran…don't do this…remember the blue sky we saw together when we were little? You loved the clouds…"
This seemed to get the boys attention as his stern expression froze. I continued, taking a step closer with each breath, "And…and the ice cream…you loved ice cream…we can do that again…just like the old times…Saeran you don't have to suffer anymore…"
I was now standing in front of my twin, his face seemed to change, holding a shocked expression as his features grew softer and his eyes glossy.
A single tear fell from his mint green eyes, quickly, I hugged him. Holding him close with one hand, and reaching towards MC's with the other. Once I got ahold of her, I swiftly pulled her back to the solid hospital floor, safe.
Saeran's frame began to shake, was he…crying? Guilt washed over me like an endless sea as I held him tighter with my left arm. Reaching my right to cup the girls face in front of me, whispering,
"MC, are you alright?"
She nodded, her scared, yet loving "Y/eye color" eyes beaming up at me, my heart started doing summer salts at the sight of her smile.
I extended my arm, inviting the girl into the brotherly embrace, she accepted without hesitation. I could feel the tears begin to fall, we stayed like that, the three of us desperately holding onto each other, and our tear filled embrace.
Three Months Later
How could I lose. Every. Single. Time. This wasn't fair. I used to be so good at Mario cart, I even hacked into the system once to play with the pros…yet the girl beside me can EASILY beat me 12 times over?!
Needless to say I was outraged, impressed, and a bit turned on, "Seriously MC, can you like…go easy on me at least?"
Her giggle still had such an effect on me, "Gotta keep up Saeyoung!"
I watched as she lapped me again. And decided I needed a new strategy. Turning to look at the "Y/hair color" haired girl beside me, I whispered into her ear "Hey MC, I. Love. You!" and began my attack, filling her blushing cheeks with kisses. Her laugher sang in my ears, as she tried to stop my incoming attack.
Finally, she put down the controller, cupping my face with her hands she laughed, "Saeyoung what are you?"
I laughed as well, absolutely loving the silly things we did, "An idiot sandwich!"
This caused a laughing fit from the both of us, after regaining her breath with her "Y/eye color" eyes shinning, she declared, "I. Love. You. Too!"
My face and my hair where the same color at this point, seriously what did I do to deserve her again?
"MC! Stupid Brother! Dinners ready!" The familiar voice sang throughout the small apartment.
We both looked at each other with wide smiles, food.
The two of us raced down the hall, meeting Saeran in the kitchen, his expression soft, with a slight smile tugging away at his lips.
With my one and only brother back, and the girl who I loved by my side, I could honestly say, I've never been happier.
