Chapter 06.

Our Protector

As Myungsoo ran off, I hid in between two cars and used my ears to find the sources of the gun shots. A bullet came flying through the window of the car and I quickly turned to my left. I saw a black head pop up from the roof of a building and I shot an arrow at him. I heard his yelp and smirked. I managed to get all the snipers except for one.

Myungsoo came running towards me. “I got them all! How ing awesome-”

Bullets came flying towards him.

“Oh !” he yelled and ducked underneath a car.

I rolled my eyes and shot an arrow in the direction of the last sniper without even looking at him. It hit him right in the chest.

“Why would you do that? I wasn't even done yet,” I said and helped Myungsoo up.

“Sorry, got a little too excited. I never really get missions like these. Consider yourself lucky,” he said wiped some gravel off his pants.

 

I started to jog back towards the market with Myungsoo behind me. We still kept our eyes open for anymore assassins.

“What I'm wondering is why Boss told me that assassin activity was put to a halt for the time being...” I said.

“There was probably some misunderstanding. You know Boss wouldn't do anything to harm you. He loves you more than anyone else.”

“I guess that's true.”

 

I took the front door to the market this time and the members were all huddled in one aisle.

“Come on out guys. Everything is okay...for now,” I said.

Suho turned around and his eyes widened.

“Oh my God! Why do you have a bow and arrows?” he asked me.

The members looked at me as well and started to come out.

They eyed Myungsoo's guns in horror. He also had blood on his shirt. I gave him a look and he tucked them in his belt and scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

Chanyeol came running towards me and pulled me into his arms.

“Don't ever do that again! Do you hear me?! Do you know how worried I was, I mean, we were?!”

I sighed and we pulled away.

“I...can't promise you that Chanyeol. I'm sorry.”

“What?”

“What the hell is going on?!” Sehun yelled.

“Language!” Xiu Min scolded.

Lu Han hugged the maknae to calm him down.

 

My phone rang and I gave Chanyeol an apologetic look before turning to pick it up.

“Hello?”

“Yoonji-ah. I'm so sorry. Looks like that information was completely false. The crew gave us that info so that we could let our guard down. I was so stupid. I should've looked into it more before telling you.”

“It's okay. We all make mistakes.”

“Are they okay?”

I turned to look at each and every one of them. I studied their faces and they mostly looked scared or confused.

“Yeah. They're okay.” I finally answered.

“Good. Now this is going to be a little difficult but you can do it. I need you to bring them to their dorm, pack their clothes and take them to your emergency building.”

“What? Emergency building?! Those are only used for-”

“Drastic measures. I know.” He cut me off. “But in the past 24 hours, our team found out that they have ordered over 100 men to track and kill these idols. EXO being at the top of the list, will be the first to be hunted. So you have to go, now.”

I didn't even get to say bye before I shut my phone and turned to everyone.

 

“In the car! Now!” I yelled.

Everyone stood there shocked.

“I said now!” I ordered.

“You heard her. Let's go!” The managers yelled at them.

They all quickly snapped back into reality and I led them out with my bow ready to shoot. I made sure there were no more snipers before telling them to go in. They piled in one by one and the van was completely full to the point where they had to be sitting on each other's laps.

“Do you want me to get the other van?” The manager asked.

“No, we don't have time. Drive!” I said.

“Come on!” Myungsoo said and we jumped into his car and drove off after them.

 

“What did boss say?” he asked.

“Emergency building...”

Each assassin is given an emergency building where only that one assassin can know about it. No one else knows the location. It's only used for times when the one you are to protect is seriously in need for protection where nothing else can help them anymore. Since Boss ordered me to bring EXO there, it's obvious that it's no joke this time. It's real.

“Dang. I haven't even needed my emergency building yet. This must be bad.”

I buried my face in my hands. “Why did Boss have to give me such a hard first mission?”

“You're doing great,” Myungsoo said and put a hand on my back.

I looked at him and he gave me a warm smile.

“Thanks Myungsoo. You're such a good friend.”

He frowned a little at that but continued to drive.

“We're awesome together. Don't you think we should do more partner work?” he asked.

I chuckled. “Yeah we should.”

 

We arrived at the dorm and I gave the members 10 minutes before we had to hit the road.

I quickly ran in to get my bag and weapons and threw them in the trunk of the van.

Myungsoo pursed his lips. “Do you think Boss will let me come with you? I mean, I already got this far into your mission. You could use the extra hand. Protecting 12 boys is a lot of work.”

I shrugged. “You should ask him.”

He nodded and walked off with his phone.

 

I leaned on the car, facing the front gate when a voice interrupted my jumbled thoughts.

“I knew it.”

I looked over and I saw Kris staring at me with a smirk and he had his arms crossed with a bag slung over his shoulder.

“Knew what?” I asked.

“I knew there was something about you. Ever since that night you caught me sneaking back in. I knew you had something to hide. But since you kept my secret, I kept yours.”

He threw me a roll of white fabric. “Here's some wrap for your arm. It's bleeding.”

I looked at my arm and it was indeed bleeding. I didn't even remember when I got cut. It's not like I can feel it anyways. Myungsoo probably didn't tell me because he knew very well too that we were immune to pain.

“He said I can come!” Myungsoo jumped up and down, interrupting our conversation. “Good thing I brought extra clothes!”

Kris smirked at me again before getting into the van.

 

Once all the members came out, I had to drive the van since I was the only one who knew the way and Myungsoo didn't trust me with his car so he let one of the managers drive it. Some of the members got into his car so it wouldn't be as crowded.

“You know, you should be in that car just in case someone comes after that one,” I said matter of factually.

“You see that's what they want us to do. So instead of splitting us up, we're together and when they go for my car, we both get them from this car. It'll totally shock them!”

I rolled my eyes. Why did I agree for him to come again?

 

I started to drive towards the location and the members were demanding answers. Especially Chanyeol.

“What is going on?”

“Who are you exactly?”

“Can I hold your gun?”

“Were those guys trying to kill us?”

“Can you kill someone blind folded?”

Tao poked his head to the front in between Myungsoo and I.

“And who's he?” he asked and gave Myungsoo a judging look.

Myungsoo narrowed his eyes at him. “Look kid, I could kill you a nanosecond so-”

“Myungsoo!” I yelled. “Don't say that to Tao! Or anyone!”

Kris pulled Tao back by his shirt and rolled his eyes.

“And this is Myungsoo. He's been training with me ever since I can remember. So we're really close.”

Chanyeol muttered something that I didn't catch.

 

“Okay! Now spill it!” Chen said.

“Okay, okay. I'll tell you guys everything. It's practically impossible to keep it a secret now,” I said, concentrating on the road.

“I'm an assassin. But in this case, protector. I'm protecting you all from killers that are after you. I was trained ever since I was little for this job so killing is like second nature for me. There is a assassin crew after male idols that are on a list, and you're at the top.” I left out the part where over 100 men are after them right now. They don't need to know about that. Not yet.

“So all this time, you've been protecting us?” Baekhyun asked, bottom lip trembling a little.

I nodded silently.

Everyone in the car was silent as well. Nervously, I looked in the mirror and saw Chanyeol looking out the window with a blank expression on his face. Even if he was angry at me for not telling him, he has no right to be. It wasn't like we were together or in love or anything. We might've grown a little attached to each other. Just a little.

 

Myungsoo nudged me and I looked at him. He gave me a reassuring smile. And I smiled back.

“Hey! Don't touch her there! Duki has a cut!” Tao yelled.

“Tao, shut up...” Kris mumbled.

“Duki?” Myungsoo snorted and tried to hold in his laughter.

I glared at him before looking at Tao through the mirror.

“It's okay Tao. I feel no pain. Well, we both feel no pain,” I said gesturing to Myungsoo.

“What?” Xiu Min asked.

“Ever since we entered our training center, we get these shots that allows us to be immune to pain so it doesn't slow us down when we're fighting,” Myungsoo explained.

“Whoa! That's so cool!” Baekhyun clapped, his gloomy expression completely gone.

But Chanyeol's was still in place.

 

The atmosphere of the van had gotten brighter as we talked.

Suddenly, we heard something, or rather someone, land on the roof. I sighed in frustration.

“Got the wheel. I don't feel like pulling my gun out,” Myungsoo nonchalantly said and I nodded while I grabbed my gun.

I lowered the window and pulled half of my body out of the car and shot the guy in the chest. I came back in and took the wheel again.

The members stared at me, wide eyed.

“Get used to it guys. This is gonna happen a lot,” I told them.

“Oh my God! That was so bad !” Tao spazzed.

“Right?! She was like boom boom!” Baekhyun said and imitated me.

Well they're taking it perfectly well. Not scared that there are killers after them...

I rolled my eyes as Myungsoo started massaging his temples.

“How do you deal with these guys?” he asked.

I smiled. “They'll grow on you.”

He frowned. “That's not good.”

“I know but I really can't help it.”

 

The drive took all day and we took a couple pit stops for food and bathroom breaks.

My building was in the middle of a public camping spot. It was right at the border so it was deep inside the woods. It's a very large cabin house, but due to the tall trees, it's completely invisible at night.

The members all piled in and ran up the stairs to pick rooms.

There were 4 bedrooms so they all had to share.

“We're sleeping on the couch,” I told Myungsoo.

“Yeah. I kinda figured that. Plus, there's no way in hell I'm going to share a room with those guys.”

“They're really not that bad, I swear.”

“By the way, that tall guy with the white teeth and creepy eyes, he's got a thing for you.”

“I think I figured that out on my own.”

“Do you like him too?” he asked.

I sighed in response. He didn't ask me any more.

 

That night, I fell asleep easily because I was so exhausted from driving. But I woke up to a weight on my stomach.

I opened my eyes and saw someone straddling me. He turned his head, causing the moonlight to reveal his face.

“Myungsoo? What are you doing?” I asked in a croaked voice.

He started to cry. “I'm sorry, Yoonji-ah. I'm so sorry. I don't deserve to be called a friend. Please forgive me.”

“For what? What are you talking about?”

He didn't say anything as he stared at me with tear-stained cheeks.

Then he lifted his right arm, a dagger in his hand.

That's when I understood.

==========================
