Chapter 21

The last thing Eunhyuk noticed when they left the room was that Kyeong-Mo fiddling with the zipper of his pants. His heart dropped, as he realized what was about to go down in that room. Y/N can handle herself right? He let her kill Jaehoon during his last moments so that she can become stronger. But in physical strength, there was no doubt that the gang member was far experienced and stronger than she is. His eyes were fixed on the door when Hoyeon kicked the pregnancy test kits to his direction. He slowly walked towards him and knelt down to Eunhyuk's eye-level.

"Your girl is either brave or incredibly stupid," he chuckled, "That guy loves playing with knives. And not in a good way, you know?"

Sadist.

That was the word for it. Eunhyuk was slowly started to get angry. That guy was about to touch her with his filthy hands?

When Y/N entered the room, her eyes immediately went towards the table and Jisu lying on the ground beside it. She slowly walked up to the table, eyes observing all the tools kept on it. She needed to find something.

"I'm hurt too. Do you want to see my wound?" Kyeong-Mo came said, walking closer to her till his chest touched her back. She was trying her best to control her breathing. Maybe if she stalls it enough..

"C-Can I treat her first, please?" Y/N stuttered, her hands slowly gripping onto a screwdriver.

"No," he said grinding on her back. She clenched her eyes shut in disgust and fear. She needed to do something. His hands were slowly sliding up from her waist. Y/N was about to turn and use the screwdriver, but he quickly held her by the neck and slammed down on the table.

He was skilled enough to grab her right hand tightly which were holding on to the tool. Y/N started screaming, trying to get her voice out but he was making it sure that wasn't the case. As she trashed around, suddenly he moved away. She gasped, breathing heavily and looked at the direction he went to. Jisu was getting punched on her abdomen and the knife she used to stab the guy on his back was lying on the ground. Y/N quickly shoulder with all her might. 

It wasn't enough, he turned around about to hurt her again but she pulled the knife back and stabbed him two more times on his stomach. Unable to handle his weight, she fell on the ground with the guy on top of her - the knife still stuck on his stomach. As blood slowly covered her face, she started breathing heavily. 

Her hands were shaking. She just....killed a human. Pushing the body aside, she sat up and looked at her trembling hands. It took a lot of energy to stab someone. Remembering the moment, she started feeling nauseous. The first stab on his stomach didn't reach so far as she hit on a bone.

Jisu slowly crawled towards her trying to calm her down. Her heart felt heavy and she was having troubling breathing. She couldn't understand what she was saying. After a while, she saw a man come in and kneeling in front of her. She stared at his lips, trying to read his words.

"Breathe."

She closed her eyes and tried to control her breathing. By the time she was starting to get normal, she heard gunshots. Immediately getting up, she was about to run but stopped hearing a whimper. 

"Jisu?"

The only thing she could find to help Jisu at the moment was to take her somewhere safe. She didn't know what else to do to help her. The only person who could help her at the moment was Eunhyuk. The room outside was awfully silent. She took Jisu in a room and told her to get some rest.

"Lock the door. I'll get help, okay?" she said and ran towards the lobby. As she was about to reach, a voice came through from where she killed Kyeong-Mo.

"Eunhyuk..." she whispered and ran towards him, eyes glistening with tears. He held her tightly against himself and trembled a bit. 

"Did he...did he touch you-"

"He did but I..." Y/N looked down at the body. He heard him sigh in relief and for the first time ever, thanking god. Someone he had given up on for a long time. 

"Jisu needs help in changing-"

"That can wait. The gang is about to come down the elevator. We have to be ready," he said, pulling her towards the lobby. Taking a metal rod, both stood along with the other residents ready with their weapons.

All of them waited with their weapons, but as the lift got to the ground floor and the door opened, only two people were inside - Hyunsu and Uimyeong. They slowly got off the lift but the residents kept their weapons fixed towards them. Y/N immediately asked, "A-Are you okay?" Her eyes went to the person standing behind him, and observed him whispering something.

As much as she was sure Hyunsu was okay, she still had doubts in trusting Uimyeong. He came with the gang members.

"Put that away," Hyunsu said standing in front of him, "He saved my life." The residents started questioning on whether he was thinking properly. "Do you trust me? He's just like me. So please put your guns down. " 

Y/N couldn't believe her ears. It was the first time he raised his voice like that. She didn't know what kind of words the guy fed him, but it certainly worked and he felt different. Hyunsu was standing up for himself, sure. But it felt more like he didn't trust in anyone anymore. And as for Uimyeong, she certainly didn't trust him. He might be like Hyunsu, but his vibe was totally different. There's people like Sangwook look shady and have done illegal stuffs, but their vibe feels like they still got some humanity in them. And then there are people like Yoonjae and Uimyeong who look like a gentleman but their vibe feels really dark.

Ofcourse everyone backed away. Shortly afterwards, Y/N checked the area where they were held as hostages - looking for the pregnancy kits. She found them near the circle drawn on ground and quickly picked them up. As soon as she turned back, she saw Hyunsu standing and looking at a pillar, where he stood and killed Seonyeong. She needed the pills but there weren't any with them. Someone had to bring it down. She looked at Hyunsu expectantly and fiddled her fingers. 

"Uh...are you okay?" she asked, hiding her left hand, and looking at his shirt where Seonyeong stabbed him. 

"I'm fine," he answered. But his tone felt different. Like he was pissed at her.

"Are you sure?" she asked, about to touch his forehead but he quickly swatted her arm away.

"Don't try to act like my sister," he said, glaring and rushed out of the area.

She furrowed her brows and brought her hand in front of her, looking down at the kit. He clearly had a drastic change and...maybe it's no use to tell him. Sighing she started walking back to the control room where Eunhyuk earlier explained that he needed to talk to Hyunsu about the military leaflet. There was also a certain change in him. Now he surely cared about survival, but instead of sacrificing, he looked for a solution that would help everyone. He wanted to warn Hyunsu probably and how the leaflet might be a trap if they ever walk into it.

But when she arrived, Eunhyuk was sitting quietly in the control room - alone and zoned out. Y/N slowly walked up to him and sat on his lap, hugging him tightly. He held her back and said, "The military leaflet is a hoax. It's so that the military can lure out as many people as they can and purge as many areas as they can. The new guy...informed." 

He sighed and rested his head on her shoulder, kissing it softly. "Should I inform the residents? Or Hyunsu?" Y/N asked, brushing his hair gently.

"No...you don't-" 

"I don't need to, but I can," Y/N said looking into his eyes and smiling, "You don't need to carry every responsibility alone. And as for how we are going to survive...we can figure it out together. For everyone." He smiled, as she kissed his forehead. 

Y/N looked to her right and blushed, "Okay so...what are we going to do about the baby?"
