25. TRUTH

Am I dead yet. 

Ivy keep repeating those four words in her mind as she keep her eyes shutted. She appears to be a fearless gangster but still, she is just a teenage girl who is afraid to die. She was waiting for the bullet from Kai's gun to hit some part on her body. But the pain never came. Kai is a skilled shooter, he won't miss his target by any chance. Ivy started to open her eyes slowly. A figure is covering her, a figure who is now falling down to the floor. "No," Ivy muttered. "Yah! Don't let the tall guy run away,". Ivy can hear Taeyang's yell, but her mind won't work properly. The figure that saved her was now laying on the floor, bleeding.

Doesn't it show you enough? That they love you, we love you! And we want to protect you," Byunghee half-yelled.

"Kwon Jiyeon or not," Byunghee continued. "I don't know what plan Jiyong has by saying that Suzy is Kwon Jiyeon but I know it because he need to protect the Kwon Jiyeon and he need her alive," Byunghee said. "The problem is I think she, herself, forget about her own identity and suddenly blaming the deal," Byunghee glared at Ivy. "Whether you like it or not, everyone in the building is aware that one of the reasons why we are here is to protect this one little girl, whom they doesn't know alive until a co
