It was a cold night indeed. Micha stayed by at the balcony, leaning against the door which separates her bedroom and the open space outside. The urgent meeting that was held due to Daesung’s kidnapping had ended half an hour ago and they had came to a conclusion to attack the place at dawn with no intention of revealing Micha being the leader. “Aish,” she tousled her head and hugged her knees to her chest.

                She wanted none of this to happen. The plan was to get the thumb drive and go home quietly. Why must Daesung go in? How could she not notice that he was missing in the first place? Micha started to blame herself. “Hey,” Yongguk suddenly sat at her side, bringing along a blanket with him. “What are you thinking about?” he asked while enveloping their body with the blanket.

                “Some stuff,” Micha sighed and nestled in Yongguk’s neck.

                “Want to talk about those ‘stuff’?” Yongguk kissed her head.

                “I don’t know,” Micha shrugged.

                “Tell me what’s on your mind,” Yongguk said.

                “It’s cloudy up there,” Micha referred to her state of mind and huffed.

                “Really?” Yongguk smirked while Micha nodded in return, “Then, sleep,” he suggested.

                Sleep, can she do that? It was an absurd thing to do at the moment for her to do as her mind started playing tricks with her, displaying all the possible tortures Daesung could be receiving. How can she sleep? “I don’t think I can do that oppa,” Micha shook her head, “Not when Daesung oppa is still in the hands of the rivals.”

                “If you don’t sleep, you won’t have enough energy to save Daesung later,” Yongguk stated.

                Micha deliberated for a while before tightening her arms around Yongguk. “Can you stay like this for a while until I fall asleep?” she muttered with her eyes half-closed. Meanwhile, Yongguk just took in a deep breath of Micha’s scent before showing a smile at Micha as a sign of agreement. “Thanks,” she yawned.

                “I’ll be your pillow tonight,” Yongguk whispered in her eyes, “Sweet dreams,” he said more.

                Loyally, Yongguk watched Micha’s breathing slowly getting even, her peaceful face as she snuggled in his arms and finally when he felt her grasp on him getting weaker, Yongguk knew that his girlfriend was deep asleep. The chilly weather outside was hardcore but he felt nothing but Micha’s warm body leaning against his. “I love you,” he whispered in Micha’s ears as a small smile appeared at the corner of the female’s mouth.

                With full of carefulness, Yongguk carried Micha to her bed, bridal-style and tucked her in, making sure that she was kept away from the cold to avoid getting sick. “I’ll be at the room next door, so, don’t worry alright?” Yongguk said and caressed Micha’s hair. “Good night,” he kissed her cheeks and went out of the room.

                As soon as Yongguk stepped out of the room and the door was tightly shut. Micha’s eyes snapped opened and waited for a few minutes to ensure that no one would come in before she got off her bed. Hurriedly, Micha went into her walk-in closet, grabbed a backpack and opened a locked drawer which she had hidden her weapons. After stuffing in a few guns and bullets, Micha changed into a more suitable outfit and slung the backpack over her shoulders.

                Silently, she stepped out of her closet and head towards the window. Micha’s plan was to reveal her position as a leader and save Daesung. She knew that Daesung would already be killed off if they were to attack the place at dawn. Micha did not tell the other members earlier because they would definitely oppose the idea of revealing herself as the leader.

                She was already hanging outside the window, moving on the ledge carefully not wanting to fall or even create any noise that would awake the people inside the mansion. “I’m sorry guys, but I got to do this as a leader,” Micha said before jumping on the grass producing only a small thump. When she was sure the coast was clear, Micha swiftly moved in the shadow and made her way out of the compound going straight to the place where she had kept her motorbike.

                A lesson which she had learnt from her mother a few years back, “Learn to choose, so that we would never lose everything.” Yes, she had definitely made up her mind without any hesitation. Micha had chosen to save Daesung instead of keeping her title as a secret. “I’m coming for you,” she said while turning on the engine and took off.

                Zico was tossing around in his bed. Right, left, right and left again. No matter where he turned, he still could not close his eyes and sleep. “I need to sleep,” he told himself as he thought about the mission he was going to be involved in at dawn later. “,” Zico threw his pillow to the side and gave up on sleep.

                His mind was uneasy as he felt weird. The male got off his bed and went out of his room to go to the kitchen to fetch some water but when he passed by Micha’s room, his anxiety became stronger. Curious, he tried to open the door but it was locked. “It’s locked?” Zico was puzzled since Micha had never locked her door. “Micha… Why did you-” he entered the room after unlocking the door using an extra key but stopped talking when his little sister was nowhere to be found.

                “That girl!” he slammed the door shut and then hollered, “Wake up! Micha’s gone!”

                Meanwhile, Micha had already arrived at the building where they had kept Daesung as a hostage. She slipped in through the back door and went up a flight of stairs until she heard some voices. “Now, tell me who the leader is!” a thug held on Daesung’s collar.

                “ off!” Daesung growled with both of his hands tied to the back of the chair he was forced to sit on. “Torture me all you want because I will never tell you!” he barked and spat on the thug’s face.

                Micha hid behind the wall and clutched on her gun tightly. She saw the thug who was punching and shouting at Daesung as she assumed that he was just another underboss, the real leader must be hiding somewhere inside the building. “How about this?” the thug started to say and went close to Daesung’s face, “What if I hire you as a spy? I’ll give you lots of money and whatever goods you want as long as you give information about the ‘Geomyasaeng’ clan?”

                “You want me to betray my leader?” Daesung asked.

                “Yes,” the thug smiled, thinking that Daesung had taken the bait.

                “I will never betray my leader,” Daesung stubbornly stated and was punched immediately. While receiving the punches that were thrown at him, Daesung saw a rather familiar figure hidden behind the wall. When he saw that the figure was actually Micha, his eyes were widened in surprise but kept he kept himself composed not to attract any attention

                The thug pulled Daesung by the hair and hissed, “Do you want to be killed?”

                “I will never betray my clan. I rather die than do such thing,” Daesung stated, looking straight at Micha who was searching for the perfect time to go in. He looked at Micha with an alarmed expression, trying his best to convey the message to ask her to go home and stay safe.

                Suddenly, the thug let go off Daesung as he turned around to talk to one of his underlings and Micha saw this as an opportunity to barged in. “No,” Daesung mouthed at Micha. However, while Micha was about to come out from her hiding place, she heard the sound of a gun.

A bullet had been released and her steps came to an abrupt halt. Her hands flew to to muffle her loud gasp as she watched Daesung’s body slowly collapsing down on the floor, blood oozing out of his stomach and face totally shocked by the sudden pain. “Op-oppa,” Micha’s voice trembled.

Micha’s eyes were collecting tears but she ignored it and gripped on her gun tightly. She got on her feet and charged forward, barging into the room like a wild animal, shooting anybody that was in her away. From the corner of her eyes, she could see Daesung falling completely flat on the cold ground and quickly made her way to his side after shooting a few more men. “Oppa,” she said to Daesung.

“Yo-You ca-came,” Daesung smiled.

“Of course I will, you idiot,” Micha panicked.

“Just g-go home, ba-baby boss,” the male choked.

“You’re going to be fine,” Micha said, “Now stop talking and let me settle this thing alright?”

Daesung just nodded and winced.

Furious, Micha stood up and reload her gun as she caught the previous thug who was torturing Daesung by the neck. She slammed him to the wall and aimed the gun at his temple while hissing, “Where’s your leader?” The thug just smirked at Micha, so, she pulled the trigger and the man dropped dead in front of her. She turned towards one of the man lying on the ground after being beaten up by her and asked, “Where’s your leader?”

“There,” the man pointed towards the stairs with trembling hands.

She went up quickly and saw a room with the door shut making her curious about the inside. Carefully, she made her way towards it, aiming a gun towards it as a standby if there were any rivals behind the closed door. “If I were you, I wouldn’t go in,” said a voice from behind.

In a swift motion, her gun was pointed directly at the owner of the sound but instantly, another 3 guns were aiming at her. “Lee Hwijae,” Micha said the name of the person who was standing in front of her.

“Still remember me?” Hwijae, the leader of the gang, “Shadow” snickered.

“I kicked your 2 years ago,” Micha dryly said.

“You caused me to lose millions!” Hwijae barked at her.

“The drugs you were selling were endangering the lives of millions of people,” Micha replied.

“You ,” Hwijae yelled and punched her but Micha ducked.

“Cut the crap alright?” Micha was serious, “Why are you harassing my people? What’s behind the door?” she motioned her gun towards the door.

Hwijae’s smug face came back as he combed his hair using his fingers and clasped his together while saying, “Tell me, who’s the leader of the ‘Geomyasaeng’ clan, then, I consider of letting go of all the members that I had caught.”

“Members?” Micha’s eyes widened.

“Yes,” Hwijae nodded, “That dude from the group, ‘Infinite.’ Then the other from ‘EXO’ and then…” he started to count the number of members of ‘Geomyasaeng’ clan he had kidnapped when Micha held up her hand signalling him to stop. “I will let them go if you tell me,” Hwijae circled around her.

Flashes of images ran through her mind, the faces of her members and older brothers. “I am the leader,” Micha said loud and clear as she even showed her tattoo as a proof. “Now, let them go,” she instructed.

“Not so fast,” Hwijae came to her side, “You should take a peek of the room,” he smiled.

Then, one of Hwijae’s men came from behind with keys in his hand as he started to unlock the door. The male gave the door a slight push, so, that Micha could see the inner side of the room. “What-” Micha was about to say but the sight before her had taken away her words. She clutched the side of her pants and forced herself to breathe when she felt as if she was not receiving enough oxygen.

“This is our trophy room,” Hwijae announced proudly. “I feel magnificent whenever I enter this room since all the almighty ‘Geomyasaeng’ clan members would be gathered here.”

Micha felt as if she was going to vomit. The sight was horrible. The room was full of bodies-dead bodies of ‘Geomyasaeng’ clan members. “You sick bastard!” she barked at Hwijae as she tried to gather herself together. “I’ll kill you for doing this!” she yelled more and glared at Hwijae.

“But I think that would be the most valuable thing in this room,” Hwijae pointed at two bodies in the middle of the room.

Right in the middle of the room, with hands still tied to the back of the chair, there were two lifeless bodies. Micha’s chest tightened as she felt as if the world was collapsing onto her. Just in front of her, the two bodies, the familiar looking faces-it was her parents. “Mom! Dad!” she gasped and then turned to Hwijae. “What the is wrong with you? They didn’t do any single to you!” Micha spat and smashed Hwijae to the wall.

Hwijae’s people were going to pull the trigger but suddenly, the three of them dropped dead on the floor, shocking Micha tremendously. “Micha, come!” Daesung limped towards her, one hand holding a gun while the other one was clutching onto the wound in his stomach. “Oppa,” she started to say but Daesung took her by the wrist as they ran out of the place.

“My parents,” her lips trembled, feet still running.

“Catch them!” she heard Hwijae shouted.

“Keep going Micha, we need to find a place to hide,” Daesung whispered and winced.

She could feel Daesung tugging onto her wrist and cringing. “Stop here,” Daesung hissed in pain and Micha saw that no one was chasing after them any longer as they were nearing the streets. Daesung leaned against the wall and slide down on the ground as he winced again.

“Oppa,” Micha held Daesung’s hand, “Let’s walk a little bit more. We need to get you to the hospital,” she grew frantic, looking at Daesung’s blood which was running out of his wound profusely, wetting her hand.

“Sta-stay here,” Daesung groaned a little.

Micha sobbed, “Don’t leave me alright? Stay with me, oppa. Stay with me,” she held on Daesung’s hand tighter. “I need you, don’t go,” she said.

“Shh…” Daesung smiled at her, “Don-Don’t cry ba-baby boss.”

“I’m not crying,” Micha stated even though she was obviously crying.

Daesung chuckled a little before he coughed out blood. “It’s been a pleasure to be by your side for these years,” Daesung said in between groans and hisses, “You ma-made me ha-happy.” Micha was growing more and more panic when Daesung started to talk in this manner. “I lost my little sister years back and felt empty but you were there to cheer me up.”

“Don’t be like this, you’re scaring me,” Micha cried.

“Th-thank you,” Daesung caressed Micha’s cheek with his bloody hand.

“For what? You’ve been doing a lot for me. You shouldn’t be thanking me, I should be thanking you,” Micha replied back with tears.

“Th-thanks, for coming to save me,” Daesung stated as Micha cried harder.

“I wouldn’t even think twice if you ask me to save you again,” Micha sniffled.

“Kwon Mi-Micha,” Daesung coughed, “Yo-you know I love you right?”

Micha wiped away her tears with the back of her palm and nodded, “I love you too, oppa. Always will,” she forced a smile. For a split second, memories of Daesung came to her mind, Daesung hugging her, comforting her, forcing her to go to sleep by carrying her over his shoulder and laughing wildly. He was like an older brother, a warm and happy-go-lucky brother.

Then, she felt it. Daesung’s body went limp, his chest was no longer moving, his body was suddenly cold and his eyes were lifeless. His usual bright eye-smile could no longer be seen and it will be gone forever. Micha howled in agony and then whispered in Daesung’s ears, “Sleep well, oppa.”
