haewon was scared, the gunshots never stopped, she was too scared and she had no idea how to survive this mess.
it seemed familiar, but she can't get the exact image of this in her life.
and so, she sprinted to her room in full speed. unfortunately, a bullet found its way to her skin.
ignoring her injury, haewon immediately locked herself in the bathroom.
she was panting due to the energy she had exerted, also by the fact that she was scared.
then she thought, she was so dumb. why would she go to the bathroom? she can go to other places such as the backyard but why did she go to the bathroom?
she regretted her decision immediately when she found out that she left her phone downstairs.
great.
she was twice as dumb as she felt earlier, now she had no hope to survive left.
haewon felt numb, the bullet that stirred through her skin was painless. all she felt were emotions and they were fear and regret.
soon, the gunshots stopped and she could hear some men muttering. footsteps nearing her hiding spot, she was frightened.
the atmosphere was eerie and unexpectedly the bathroom door opened.
the door revealed masked men, ones that she didn't know and can't familiarize of.
"get up" the man demanded, and haewon was quick to follow. she didn't recognize the voice and she was now petrified, she still doesn't know what to do.
soon, they were at the living room where more than 15 men were waiting. she didn't know if this was nct since she wasn't really comfortable.
"is she the girl?" one asked and haewon's attention turned to the one who was the tallest. "she looks exactly like the profile"
they all examined and observed haewon's profile as she stood still, fearing that they might do something to her.
"well then she is the girl" the one who was in the middle spoke up "you're coming with us"
they dragged haewon but she stood still, trying her best not to move.
"oh fucking god, if you won't move i'll just shoot your legs pretty girl" the man who was holding her said as his grip tightened and he faced his gun on haewon's temple, leaving the girl shaking out of fear.
as they were dragging her out, the man who was holding haewon was shoot right in the forehead.
"who did that?" the other men asked as they saw their comrade fall to the ground, lifeless.
"that would be me" donghyuck's voice ran through the room and the men's attention turned to him as they glared at him.
in no time, they all began to lounge at donghyuck but failed when they were shot at, one by one from the outside of the house.
the room was now filled with lifeless bodies and no one except haewon and donghyuck were alive.
▽▽▽
it has been revealed that the boys were actually snipers while donghyuck was saving haewon, they were all pretty good shots since none of them missed a bullet.
"haewon! good to know that you're alive" jaemin shouted as he hugged the latter.
"i wouldn't be alive if it weren't for you, so thank you" haewon said, hugging him back.
"it was all donghyuck's idea" jaemin said while chuckling, making donghyuck glare at him as if he was about to shoot him with the gun he was holding.
"thank you donghyuck" she said as he stared at his eyes which held no emotions at all.
"don't flatter yourself too much, i did it for mark" he stated in a cold tone while walking out of the room. he wasn't showing any interest to talk to haewon and it made her anxious.
"why is he like that?" haewon sighed as she stared at donghyuck's disappearing figure.
"like what?" jaemin asked as if he didn't know, but he was fully aware of what haewon's trying to point out.
"he's just.......so rude" haewon muttered the last part hoping that jaemin wouldn't hear her, but unfortunately, he did.
"well it is donghyuck, he is rude and cold but if you spend time with him more he'll eventually warm up" jaemin said as he reassured haewon. but truthfully, he doesn't know the truth. donghyuck never really opened up to anyone, even mark, his own best friend.
"but does he hate me" she paused, unsure if she should continue the next words. "that much?"
"he doesn't hate you haewon, he just doesn't trust you yet" jaemin gave her a trustful face as he gave his angelic smile.
"i hope he'd warm up to me"
"oh he will, hopefully"
"hopefully" haewon showed her cute gummy smile at the latter.
they were both comfortable with each other, they would consider themselves as best of friends at this state.
"HAEWON, ARE YOU OKAY?" mark rampaged through the hallways as he ran to his sister. he had beads of sweat on his temple and he was panting. it was evident that he was rushing his way to the dream's headquarters.
"yes mark, you don't have to worry" haewon said in a calm voice as she held onto her brother's hand.
"sorry i left you by yourself" mark said with an apologetic face. his voice held regret and guilt. he surely blamed himself for what had just happened.
"it's okay mark, you can't predict the future so it's not your fault. i'm sure you were busy" haewon stated with a reassuring voice.
"but still, i left you there, what if something happens to you? did you get hurt?" mark asked, concern filled his voice as he searched for any injuries or wounds on haewon.
"i did not get hu-"
"she got shot" renjun said while entering the hallway. he was the one who treated haewon's wound since he was one of nct's medic. well, he was the one for the dream unit.
"you're staying here from now on" mark stated in a demanding voice which also showed worry and concern.
"no, she won't" donghyuck butted in on the conversation while he was going down the stairs.
"yes, she will" mark answered with a stern, serious voice. this was a new side of mark that haewon just discovered.
"if i said no, then it's no" donghyuck fought back, standing straight while he scoffed.
"but donghyuck where will she live? do you want her to stay at the main headquarters" jaemin asked, he was worried for haewon as well. they can't make sure if she's safe unless she stayed at the headquarters.
"let her stay with her friends, i won't let her live here. if she lives here, i won't hesitate to shoot a bullet to her head" donghyuck replied, the coldness hinted on his voice was easy to identify, his stance was stern and the expression shown on his face showed no emotions as he walked away and left the hallway.
"you'll stay here"
