ni-ki.

I walked through the hallway of Asan Medical Center where Kimura Yoshi is currently confined. Heard that I shot him, he tried to shoot the cops so the cops shot him so he was in coma. But now he's awake so I decided to give him a little visit.

With stoeic face, I opened the door of his room and his head immediately turned around to see him. His eyes widened a little then anger consumed him.

"Nishimura..." His voice is still hoarsy from just waking up from a long coma.

"Just woke up from a long dream? You're about to move to your new home called prison." I said in a cold tone.

"I'm surprised you're still alive. Are you here to kill me?"

"Killing you is like letting you get away from all your sins. You're gonna rot in prison, Kimura. You're gonna rot there until you die but no one will mourn for you because no one ever loved you. You're a worthless piece of shit, even your wife never loved you. Until her last breath, she loved my dad."

His facial expression changed when I know it triggered him perfectly. His fist clenched, blood started coming out in his IV but my face remained unbothered.

"I will...kill you and your family, Nishimura. You're all going to hell with your dad." He groaned, his eyes turning red and all his nerves in his brains are probably exploding.

I scoffed and smirked, "Just accept your defeat, Kimura. You are never going to win against me. You're old and you're dying. Even in prison, no one is going to visit you."

I saw him swallow a lump on his throat and I can notice his eyes are starting to water but he immediately blinked it away.

"What makes you think that I'm going to jail once I get out of here?" He chuckled like an old maniac, "You are so confident with your words but in reality, you still fear that I can get away with this. Do you actually think you can easily get rid of me? By sending me to jail? Even Yuki was afraid of sending me to jail because she knew what I'm capable of."

Honestly, I don't know what he is really capable of but he doesn't intimidate me. I cannot be intimidated. I really really want to kill him at this moment and no one will find out he was murdered but I'm trying to change....for Serena.

"...C'mon. Just kill me here. Right now. I will not fight back. But can your pretty little girlfriend really stand his murderer slash killer boyfriend?" He added.

I clenched on his collar almost lifting him up from the bed, "Son of a bitch. I will make sure you'll fucking die in prison. I want people to beat the shit out of you until your lungs collapse and you will be begging for help but won't get any. So listen here, my father treated you like a brother, he never betrayed you and he doesn't owe you anything. It's not his fault that you're a savage loser who can't get just one woman to love you."

"Are you saying all these because you want me to feel bad?"

"No. I'm saying all these because this will be the last time I will ever speak to you." I clenched his collar hard before dropped him again on the bed, "You're dead to me, Kimura."

I gave him the coldest glare before finally leaving his room. I took out my phone and called the Boss.

Few rings and he answered, "Hello, Riki my boy?"

"Hi boss. I hope I'm not disturbing you. I just remembered you saying that if there's anything I will need from you or any help, I can come to you. If so, then can I come to your office now? I would like to ask help from you boss."

I heard him chuckle on the other line and said, "Alright. I'll be waiting for you."

"Thank you boss. I'll be there."

you.

I walk around the streets of Gwangjang Market to buy fresh veggies and fruits. Ni-ki had some errands today so I went out alone. The market is a bit crowded today and the weather's a bit hot so I would really like to get my stuff done and go home.

"How much for this muscat?" I asked the selling lady.

"12,600 won."

"Okay, I'll have this. Your strawberries look sweet, are they fresh?"

"Yes they are dear. They were just delivered this morning."

"Okay, I'll have half kg of strawberries too please. Thank you."

I paid the lady and then continued walking. I felt my stomach rumble and realized that I'm already starving. Maybe I'll get something to eat first.

I am strolling around the food market when I bumped into a tall figure, dropping my fruits on the floor. My eyebrows furrowed in annoyance and was about to scold that person but my eyes widened when I realized who it was.

"Sunghoon?"

Sunghoon and I decided to buy some streetfoods and eat somewhere in a nearby park. He said that he was just here to buy some stuff and grab something to eat as well. Sunghoon and I aren't really that close but I'm comfortable with all the boys so it doesn't really bother me.

"I'm really sorry about the fruits." He said, immediately breaking the awkward silence.

"Oh, it's okay. Not really a problem. How are you guys by the way? Seems like you haven't had any missions lately?"

"Oh, yeah. We're just chill at the moment. How about you and Ni-ki? How was your Japan trip?"

I subconsciously smiled, remembering the memories we had during our stay with his family, "It was really fun. I met his family and they were really kind."

"Glad to hear that. How 'bout Ni-ki? Has he been treating you good lately?"

I nodded, "Yeah. So far, so good. What about you Sunghoon? Do you have anyone at the moment? Not that it's my business, it's fine if you're not comfortable sharing."

"Actually..." He trailed off, "I do."

"Oh...what is she like? If you want some advice, I can give you some for free." I raised my eyebrows while smiling, teasing him.

He smiled at me for a while before biting his lip and looking away again, "Then can you give me an advice on what to do if that person already has someone else?"

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Hmm, that's tricky. Well if they're happily inlove then, I guess you just gotta watch them from afar and try to forget your feelings for her and find someone else. Loving someone who loves someone else is a torture, Sunghoon. You should find someone who can reciprocate your feelings."

He frowned, "Really? You think I'll have no chance?"

I shrugged, "I don't know. I mean, you are free to fight for it if you want to."

Sunghoon did not answer but he just stared at me with a serious look. I never got a chance to be this close with Sunghoon, not that I was looking forward to it or something but he's always been so quiet and aloof. I think he is introvert, he looks like an introvert to me.

"Then, can I fight for you?"

My faint smile dropped but I was waiting for his 'it's a prank' after but it was just that.

"What?" I blurted out.

"I like you, Serena."

WHAT?!
