Chapter 20: Regrets
In Cold Blood
Thump thump
Shocked washed over their faces, as smoke is slowly emitting from the barrel of the pistol.
Thump thump
Blood splashed across her face as she watches the body fall.
Thump thump
A smirk slowly creeps up Changmin’s face as he watches the devastation unfold before him. He then turns and took his leave while he can.
Thud.
A deafening silence took over the world for a second as Tzuyu falls into Mina’s arms, lifelessly.
A hysterical scream was heard as Chou Yi could not accept whatever is happening, breaking down onto his knees and his mind clouded by rage, took Changmin by his collar as the latter was leaving, screaming curses at him; blaming Changmin for what he had done. With that, Changmin quickly knocked the crazy old man out.
Seeing the unconscious body in her arms, Mina quickly broke out of her trance and picked the girl up bridal style, running for the operation room. Ignoring the occasional sharp pain that stabs her abdomen, Mina put the girl that she’s loosing onto the operation table and shouts at the nurses on duty impatiently; too stunned by the situation to react promptly.
Tzuyu’s POV
I don’t know why, but I can’t bear to see Mina in pain, I took the shot for her and now I’m lying in her arms. I can feel my consciousness slipping away as I look to the face of the girl I have now fallen in love with. Tears stained her cheeks, and her expression is a mix of desperation and pain. I can bearly keep my eyes open; everything seems to be spinning, yet at a time like this, Mina can still make me feel like a princess in her arms.
Don’t cry, and how I regret not telling you that I love you…
Third Person’s POV
Mina quickly put on her surgery suit and sanitised her hands, all prepared to perform a surgery to save the girl that she is slowly falling in love with.
Throughout the surgery, beads of sweat form on her forehead, hands starting to shake as she attempts to remove the bullet from Tzuyu’s body, plus the increasing numbing sensation in her body aren’t helping her to concentrate. Mina tried her best to blink the sense of fatigue away as blood flows from her wound to the ground. Despite knowing the symptoms taking over her body, Mina managed to bring Tzuyu back from the brinks of death within two hours, stubbornly pushing her body to her limit just to save a girl she is meant to kill. As soon as Mina successfully removed the bullet, darkness took over her conscious as her body finally decides to give in and collapse onto the floor.
Thankfully, Mina only needed some stitches and blood transfusion.
Meanwhile, seeing Changmin has already taken his leave, Seulgi and Wendy followed after him, not without leaving a few nasty wounds on Momo, but honestly, they were rather bruised by Momo too. Sensing that Exodus is ‘done’ for the night, Momo attempted to contact Sana.
“Trying to get Irene off my now!” Sana half-screamed over the ear-piece, as she drives at some insane speed.
“I think they are ‘done’.” Momo assured the squirrel over the comms, attempting to calm the girl down.
“But, I bet we’re all going to get some hell from Jihyo…” Momo said as shiver runs down her spine. “And come back quickly, I think something happened to Mina and Chou Tzuyu.”
Mina shoots up as soon as she gains consciousness, feeling the pain rushing in from her abdomen, Mina drops back onto the hospital bed on her side.
“Easy, you’re still injured.” Sana says as she supports Mina up from her fallen position. “But I’m sure we’re in trouble with Jihyo for this.”
Mina very well know what Sana meant by that, and not only did they not complete the given task, she even strayed from the original task and went all the way to save her target. Sighing deeply, Mina got off the bed and headed for Tzuyu, the one that has been constantly on her mind all this while.
“Where are you going? You should be resting!” Sana raised her voice behind Mina, instantly feeling a headache. Being the team leader of the Trinity definitely isn’t an easy job.
Without stopping Mina, Sana turned to the heavily bruised peach, still sleeping soundly on the couch. Sighing, Sana should probably start writing her will at this rate; Jihyo might most probably kill them all.
After asking around for Tzuyu’s ward, Mina finally arrived in front of the door. Taking in a deep breath, Mina slide the door open and headed towards the girl lying unconscious on the bed. Tzuyu looks peaceful in her sleep. Mina looked closely at the girl that made her feel feelings again, extending her hand out to remove the strands of hair covering part of Tzuyu’s face. Tears unknowingly, started to fill her eyes; conflicted by how she is feeling, “Sorry…” was all she could say to the girl who saved her life. Mina gently cupped Tzuyu’s face, afraid that she would hurt the girl further than she already had.
“I promise to make things right, before coming back for you.” Mina whispered to the unconscious girl, before placing a soft kiss on Tzuyu’s forehead.
