I kicked Myungsoo off of me and he landed on the coffee table beside the couch with a loud thud. The dagger went flying and I scrambled over to get it. He jumped off the table to grab my foot and I fell forward on my stomach. Myungsoo pulled me back and leaped over to grab the dagger. I quickly got up and kicked him. He fell forward and I flipped him over to get on top of him. I pinned his hands above his head. He struggled to get them free but failed.

“Why are you doing this?” I asked him.

He didn't answer me and tried to push me off of him. He used his lower body and flipped me off of him. He got on top of me and raised the hand with the dagger. He tried to stab my head but I moved it. He tried a couple of times and I dodged them all. I felt him cut my cheek but I felt no pain. I caught his wrist just in time and looked him straight in the eye.

“Myungsoo...”

“It was the plan from the start! Now just let me do my job so I can go kill those bastards upstairs too.”

My eyes widened. Plan from the start?

“So you were planning to betray me all these years? Ever since we were young?”

He didn't answer.

My eyes started to water. “How could you? I trusted you. I trusted you!” I screamed at him.

“I've gone too far to back out now Yoonji.”

Anger rose up within me and I threw him off of me. I punched him in the face numerous times. I ran to the couch and grabbed my dagger. As we attacked and dodged each other, it reminded me of the times that we trained together. I always won. Always.

I spun and kicked the dagger out of his hand. He backed up from me and I shook my head.

“Yoonji...” he whispered.

I closed my eyes tight. I couldn't bear to look at him. I cared for him but I couldn't trust him anymore because I too have a task to fulfill and it's to protect those boys.

With a sigh, I threw the dagger straight in Myungsoo's direction. I heard a thud and I knew I hit the spot. I never missed.

I slowly opened my eyes and my companion from ever since I was young laid there lifeless. Tears threatened to fall from my eyes as I slowly walked over to him.

I heard footsteps and I knew that the others had woken up. Someone gasped and I fell to my knees beside Myungsoo. The dagger had pierced right through his heart.

I clutched onto his shirt and started sobbing.

“Pabo...you pabo....” I whispered, hanging my head.

My body started shaking as I cried. Anger took over my body again and I started shaking him violently. “You were my friend! My only friend! How could you do this to me?!”

The emotions were too much for me and I wailed out loud.

I just killed Myungsoo.

I just killed my best friend.

I'm a horrible person.

I thought about the memories I had with him and I hugged his torso, not even caring that his blood was getting on me.

“I'm sorry,” I whispered.

I felt someone pull me up and I looked up to see Chanyeol with his bed hair staring down at me with a solemn expression. He wiped my tears and pulled me into his arms.

I cried into his chest as he embraced me.

After a minute or two, I pulled away from him. “I want to be alone.”

“No. I'm not leaving you alone like this.”

I started to cry again. “Please. I want to be alone. I promise I'll explain later.”

He sighed and pressed his lips to my forehead before standing up and pushing the other members to go upstairs.

Some gave me skeptical looks while others gave me a sympathetic look. I hoped that some of them knew that I wouldn't have killed him without a good reason.

I stared at Myungsoo's face for a couple of seconds until someone cleared his throat.

I looked up and saw Kris leaning on the railing of the stairs.

“I said I want to be-”

He cut me off and started walking towards me. “You're bleeding.”

I touched my cheek and it was indeed bleeding. “I'm fine. I can't even feel it.”

He knelt down in front of me, face dangerously close to mine.

“You have super healing too?”

“No but-”

“You can't feel it, but it's still there and it could get infected. We need to change the wrap on your arm too,” he said, eyes piercing into mine.

I blinked at him as he picked me up and carried me to the kitchen bridal style.

Kris looked through the drawers to find any first aid kits. He pursed his lips when there wasn't any.

“I'll try the bathroom,” he stated and walked out of the kitchen.

“Kris, it's okay.”

He didn't listen to me and came back with a white box. He set it on the counter and pulled out some ointment and cloth.

“I can do it myself,” I said and reached over to grab it from him but he held them out of my reach.

“You do so much for us. Can't you at least let me do one little thing for you?”

I sighed in defeat and nodded.

Kris surprisingly had gentle hands. He lightly dabbed the cut on my cheek with the ointment and placed a band aid on it. He laughed all of a sudden.

“What?” I asked.

“It's nothing. It's nothing. Who bought this first aid kit?” he asked.

I shrugged. “It came with the house I guess.”

Kris nodded and started to unwrap my arm. He winced for me and started cleaning it.

“Ouch. That looks bad...” I murmured quietly looking at the gash.

“Yeah. Good thing you can't feel it,” he said as he cleaned it and put some ointment on it as well.

My mind kept going back to Myungsoo and I didn't want to break down again so I tried to concentrate on something else. So I stared at Kris as he treated me.

“Hey, you're really good at this,” I told him.

He smirked. “Experience.”

“I would assume so. Why do you have so much experience in this?”

He didn't say anything.

“Sorry if it's personal. You don't have to tell me.”

He sighed. “Let's just say I'm not so proud of my past and the things I've done.”

“Aren't we all?”

“I guess so.”

It was silent as he wrapped my arm with new cloth. When he was done, I saw him staring at my stomach so I looked down. My side had a cut as well because there was blood seeping through my shirt.

“If you don't mind...” he said and lifted up my shirt a little so he could see it, fingertips lighting grazing over my skin. Now that I could feel.

He started to clean it and I didn't know if time was going by slow or Kris was just taking his precious time because it sure took longer.

After he placed a larger band aid on the cut, he rubbed it gently with his thumb a couple of times before looking up at me with those eyes. His gaze shifted to my lips and I immediately stood up.

Kris seemed shocked at my reaction.

“I-I should probably call Boss,” I stuttered.

I turned to go into the living room to fetch my phone but that means I'd have to pass Myungsoo's dead body so I stopped.

Kris seemed to understand so he went over and got it for me instead.

“Thank you.”

“Yoonji-ah, is something wrong?” Boss asked when he picked up.

“Myungsoo's dead. He tried to kill me. Seems like he was working for another assassin crew looking to sabotage your crew.”

“I can't believe it.”

“Well believe it. Can you please send some men to get his body? I can't stand to look at him.”

“You killed him?” he asked slowly.

“I had to...”

I heard Boss sigh. “I'm so sorry. I knew how close you two were.”

“I'll get over it. But you should investigate all of the trainees. If there's one, there could be more.”

“I'll do that. Go get some rest. Thank you for telling me.”

I hung up the phone and buried my face into my hands.

“I'll stay up with you,” Kris said. I totally forgot that he was in the room.

“No no, it's okay. You go to bed. I want to be alone.”

He seemed to understand because he nodded. “Okay.” He turned to leave.

“Kris.”

“Hmm?” he looked back.

“Thank you. You know, for...” I held up my arm.

He smiled, something he didn't do often.

“It's no problem. Sweet dreams Duki.”

After the men had taken Myungsoo's body, I sat on the stool in the kitchen and laid my head on the counter.

I thought about the purpose of life.

Growing up, I thought that my purpose was to protect the good and kill the bad. Now I'm not so sure anymore.

I doze off after an hour and I wasn't surprised to wake up to Chanyeol's face close to mine as his body was pressed to me.

But I was definitely surprised to see Kris's face when I turned over.
