Chapter 05.

Our Protector

As I was getting ready for the day, I got a call from Boss.

“Hello?”

“Yoonji-ah.”

“Ne.”

“I just got the word that the current assassin group we're trying to find has halted all activities because of an attack at the headquarters from a third party from Japan. It looks like the group has targeted Japanese stars as well.”

“Really?! That's great news.”

“So you can just relax until we hear otherwise. Make sure to keep an eye out though. You never know what could happen.”

“Ne! I understand! Annyonghaseyo!”

 

I smiled and placed the phone back in my pocket. It's incredibly good to know that there is a third party on our side. It's faster to help us figure out who's behind this and the faster I get to go back.

I used one of my straps to attach a small dagger to my thigh under neath my shorts just in case of an emergency.

The members all started to leave and their eyes widened.

“Duki-ah! You're not wearing the coat!” D.O pointed to me with big eyes.

“That's right!” Sehun said.

I just shrugged. “I just got tired of it...”

“Well you look great without it too,” Lu Han said with a smile.

“Thanks...” I smiled back.

I saw Chanyeol's eye twitch in annoyance and he walked in between Lu Han and I.

“I called sitting next to Duki,” he bluntly stated.

“Yes yes Chanyeol. We will not go against your wishes to sit next to your beloved Duki!” Suho stated.

“Good,” he smiled and stared down at me.

 

“You all have three hours to practice before we go to the studio for make-up, hair and filming! So practice!”

I sat down on the bench and watched as they practiced. Even though I've been to every practice, I couldn't get tired of watching them. Their teamwork was amazing. I really praised them for that. I never really worked on a team before since I was trained in the individual section. Also dancing and singing was so new to me because I never witnessed it before. It looked...fun.

Before I knew it, three hours had passed.

“Hyung, did you go buy the water yet?” Kris asked their managers.

“Ah! We forgot. Let's go buy it now.”

“Can we have ice cream too?” Tao asked.

“Yeah yeah...let's go...”

 

All the members stood up to leave.

“Duki, you coming?” Chen asked me.

I was about to nod but I remembered that assassin activities were put to a halt so I shook my head.

“I think I'll stay here.”

It's not like I could eat the ice cream anyways. Ice cream isn't even a part of my vocabulary because of the strict diet that I have to follow.

“I'll stay too,” Chanyeol said.

“Oh okay, I get it! The two love birds want some time alone. Let's go guys...” Baekhyun smirked and pushed everybody out.

“We're not love birds!” I shouted after them.

I blew my bangs up in frustration.

 

Chanyeol stared at me as he hugged his knees to his chest. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel and threw it across the room before standing up and walking towards me.

“Wanna dance?” he asked.

“I can't...”

“I can teach you.”

“I don't know.”

“Come on~” he whined and pulled me up causing me to hit his chest hard.

“Fine,” I grumbled.

 

He the chorus to MAMA and tried teaching me the moves. Surprisingly I caught on really fast.

“Oh wow. Keep this up and you'll be a better dancer than me,” he said with a chuckle.

I grinned and tried to do the next move.

He shook his head. “No silly! The arms go like this!” he stood behind me and grabbed a hold of my wrists to show me the movement.

I froze at the contact and he seemed to feel my body tense. I saw him smirk in the mirror and lean his head down to rest it on my shoulder. I felt a strange feeling in my stomach.

I think I read it once in a manga. I think it was something like butterflies.

He started to wrap his arms around my waist and held me tightly in his arms. I was too confused about everything. Never have I once had this type of skin ship with another person before. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to push him away, but strangely I liked it when he held me like that. He stood in front of me and my cheek with his thumb, a gesture I found very comforting. His face got closer to the point where I could feel his hot breath on my face.

 

Suddenly, I heard movement by the door and heard someone a gun. My eyes widened and my hands instinctively went for my dagger. I pulled it out and threw it straight at the figure. Everything happened so fast and quick that you couldn't even see the dagger flying unless you knew that it was going to happen.

It hit him right at his forehead and he fell down, dead.

My stance remained how it was when I threw the dagger as my heart beat started to slow down.

My phone rang and I picked it up. The person on the other end was panting like they were running.

“Yoonji-ah!” it was Myungsoo.

“What?”

“My mission was nearby and I saw your band walk out of the practice room and into a nearby market. I helped scout the place out and there are seven long distance shooters and five on the ground.”

“Oh .”

“Yeah oh ! There are two grounders on my tail right now! They recognized me somehow. I need your help!”

“Okay, I'll be right there! But I have no weapons on me.”

“I got some. Hurry!”

 

I hung up the phone and ran to grab the dagger out of the guys head and took hold of his gun. I tucked it on my strap.

I looked over and Chanyeol was staring at me with wide eyes.

“What the just happened?” he asked me. That was the most serious I've ever seen him.

“I can explain.”

“Okay, enlighten me please. Enlighten me as to why you just put a dagger through that man with a gun's head and then got a mysterious phone call about something that has to do with weapons!” he made arm movements to express his distress about the whole situation.

“Later. I can explain later!”

 

I started to run towards the door. I opened it but Chanyeol closed it and pinned me to it.

“No, tell me now.”

My nostrils flared and my aggressive side that I was trained to bring out got the best of me, and in one swift movement he was pinned. I took my dagger and stabbed the wooden door by his head. He stared at me, poker face in place.

“Don't ing mess with me right now, Park Chanyeol. I'm warning you.”

I slowly carved a line in the door by bring it down to his shoulder.

“I can get lethal. I was trained to do so. So if you would please follow my advice and not get in my way, I would really, really appreciate it,” I said in a menacing tone.

He gulped and nodded.

I pulled the dagger out of the door and tucked it on my strap again and opened the door. “Good. Now follow me. And stay low.”

 

We ran out of the practice room, towards the market the EXO boys were at. We went in through the back and the members were picking their ice cream like nothing was going on.

“Stay here. Don't come out until I tell you to do so. Act like nothing is wrong. It will only take a few minutes. Keep the others in here as well. Okay?” I ordered.

“But-”

“Okay?!”

“Okay...”

We heard gunshots and I started to worry for Myungsoo so I started to run towards the exit.

“Whoa...where are those gunshots coming from?” Xiu Min asked curiously and started to walk out.

The managers, realizing what was going on, pulled him back inside.

 

“Wait, you're going to go out there?!” Chanyeol asked me, with worry written all over his face.

I nodded.

“No! You're not! I won't let you,” he grabbed my hand.

“Chanyeol...please...” I begged him. “I have to help my friend and save your lives. It's what I have to do.”

“Save our lives?”

“I told you I'll explain later! Just let me go!”

He slowly let go of my hand and I sprinted out the door.

 

I ran out and my ears tried to find the source of the shooting. I managed to dodge all the gunshots that were for me. I finally found Myungsoo fist fighting with two guys.

“I'm here!” I sang as I kicked one in the face and twisted his neck, causing his body to fall down dead immediately.

Myungsoo looked relieved to see me. “Finally. You owe me one. I wasn't supposed to scout this area but I did anyways.”

I threw my dagger at the guy that was about to stab Myungsoo.

His eyes widened and he turned around.

I grinned. “Well you lookie there. Now we're even.”

“Tch.”

Myungsoo bent down to grab his gun and he tossed it to me.

I tossed it back to him along with the other gun that I took from the guy in the practice room. He gave me a confused look.

“I want your arrows,” I said.

He shrugged and handed them to me and his bow.

“I got the snipers. You get the ground. If I use arrows, they can never find my location. I'm better at long distances anyways,” I explained.

He nodded and high-fived me with a smirk.

“Let's get these ers,” he said as he cocked both guns.

I smirked back. “Now we're talkin'.”
