Seohyun was running out of time. She needed to escape. Otherwise, she'll lose her blood. She'll lose her consciousness. But the problem is -- Luna wasn't losing her yet. The girl was chasing her behind, getting faster and faster. Occasionally, she would win her - but Romeo would always win the race. Not to mention, bullets are filling up the car already. She barely could get her revenge. All that she can do is to hold on her wounded arm, trying to stop the blood from flowing.

"Romeo - lost her." So she needed to escape no matter what.

Moving to the back seat, she cocked another pistol and frantically releases two shots, hitting Luna's hood. The latter was laughing so hard because she couldn't hit her anymore. The more the action is getting longer, the more her focus is getting blurry.

Suddenly, the car stopped, Seohyun almost thrown herself - "WHAT WAS THAT?!!!" she scream, angrily to Romeo.

Instead of answering her boss, Romeo reverse the car, facing the coming vehicle towards them. Seohyun smirked, as she now understood what Romeo is trying to do. 

Ready?

"Ready." Seohyun smirked, placing her arms forward, holding the pistol in both hands. She focus her eyes to the upcoming lights from afar - that was getting closer and closer... until She saw the hood - she immediately saw the driver. Seohyun didn't think twice and pull the the trigger. Luna was shot on the left side of her chest, causing for her to lose control. Before she knows it, she crashes to a nearby post - creating a loud crashed. Smoke slowly filling up the crash. Romeo took this as an opening and drove off - not minding if Luna is alive or not. 

Seohyun find herself taking a deep breath in and out, as her back hits the seat behind. She tossed the pistol on the side as she held on her bloody arm - covering up the wound. She heavy panting, as she endured the pain.

Agent Seo? Are you alright? Once again, Hyo's voice echoed her ears.

"Yes. I can take care of this. No need to bring back ups." Seohyun sighed heavily. She keeps on looking around - in search for a pharmacy she wanted to stop by.

But they are on their way.

"Abort it."

Copy.

With that, Seohyun ended the call. "Romeo, help me find a pharmacy - I need to get this bullet off of me." and instructed her car to do it for her instead. Since she wanted to focus on her breathing, and keeping the pressure in for her blood. She was apparently holding the wound against a fabric she tore from her shirt. To keep herself warm, she wore the jacket she had always in her car.

Soon, the car stops -- Seohyun has still her strength as she went out of the car - was slow with her walk until she reached on it, a girl approaches her, almost running.

"Are you Okay?" The girl was shock with her appearance. Her disheveled hair, sweaty face, and some few blood stains on her neck just indicates she was having a big wound on either part of her body. But Seohyun has no intention to get their sympathy.

"I need pain reliever, bandage and water please... " she huskily answered, ignoring their concern.

"O-Okay. Hold on a second."

She walked to the counter and pulled her pursed out and place it on the counter. Using her free hand, she picked her debit card and give it to the cashier girl. The other girl went back with her pills and one bottle of water. Not soon after, Seohyun got her card back and immediately exited the pharmacy, holding the stuffs she bought.

Just before the car drove off, the two pharmacists couldn't hide their concern - wondering what happened to her that even the car was pretty damage.

[Seohyun's Apartment]

Yoona has been in front of the door 130 for about an hour now - disappointed that the girl she wanted to see tonight is not at home. She tried to call her, but there wasn't even a single answer she heard. That one hour of waiting leads into the 2nd hour -- in which, she can no longer take it and she decided to sit on the floor, still hoping that in any moment Seohyun will comeback. A shadow will even appear. 

22:35pm.

Yoona was yawning - rubbing her eyes - rubbing her stomach and sighing from time to time. Still trying to wait for the girl that has been making her this wait for four hours straight now.

Patience - she was still having it inside. Maybe since she doesn't go home without even having a glimpse of the girl.

She tried a hundred times of calling, but still she failed.

"Why am I doing this, though. I should have left already." And certainly, it wonders her why she's staying still. Without a certain that the girl will even go home.

She must be just really wasting time already. The food on the basket, the flowers, and her chocolates will be just a waste. How shameful.

"Okay, one more hour - if she's not going to comeback, I won't ever wait anymore." Once again,she decided to wait. She decided to put her hopes again.

But that moment she decided, the moment also Seohyun had finally came back. That's 30 minutes after she had decided to wait. She hurriedly got up and welcome the girl back. However, much to her surprised, she was ignored. Seohyun simply passes at her. 

"Wait, you're not even going to greet me?" Yoona hurriedly blocked her, before she could reach the door.

Again, Seohyun seemed not seeing her. She simply reached for the door and punch on the password without saying a word. Nor did she looked at her. As if the place has no presence from the doe-eyed. 

But being the persistent, Yoona slapped her hand away before the door can open.

"Um, I just want to tell you that I'm here to have dinner with you. I also brought some flowers and here... chocolates." Yoona said, showing her great smile.

Looking up to meet Yoona's gazes on her, Seohyun showed a small smile, "It was nice for you, thank you. But I have to rest now." and said lowly, holding her left arm in pain. She was secretly clenching on her fist - trying to endure the pain she had from the last encounter. Thanks for the pain reliever she took, it wasn't that really hurt anymore. And to her jacket, she was spotless.

"I see. But at least... " Seohyun had successfully opened the door. "You get this." Which Yoona took a chance and hurriedly walked inside the apartment. She places the flowers, the basket and the box of chocolate to the coffee table.

Seohyun walked in, not minding Yoona still. She headed to the kitchen and brought a bottle of water out to have some drinks. 

"Are you okay? You-"

"Yoona, just... leave me alone now. You don't need stay any longer. I have to rest at any moment." Seohyun interrupted, just when the latter was about to say something. "I'm serious... please... " she begs, sighing at the last word.

Yoona so wanted to ask why - if she had done wrong or anything, but to see how serious the girl was, and she was really seemed not in a good mood, she can no longer insist it. She slightly bowed, ready to go when Seohyun added more words.

"I'm not mad at you. I'm just really tired. I'll just see you tomorrow again." 

"I'm sorry if I disturbed you." Yoona said and left the apartment hesitantly.

Seohyun quickly rushes to the door and locked it securely. She headed to the living room and carefully took her jacket off. She winced in pain and cursed inside, scolding herself for being so careless. And scolding the pain reliever that didn't take really serious on the wound she got. Good thing also, the bullet was off of her body. Otherwise, it was still a great pain. Honestly, she doesn't like to share it to Yoona, either to her brother that she was weak to be hurt like this. She wasn't an agent if she can't take care of herself.

Glancing over the flowers, box of chocolates and the basket, She couldn't even appreciate what Yoona had left. Or did she even think the girl was in her apartment to court her. She just slowly lie down and rested her arm and her entire body. Slowly, she has drifted to sleep.

Yoona who just finally decided to go home after hearing nothing inside anymore, heaved a sigh and promised herself to go back the following day.

[Im Residence - Yoona's Room]

18 days left

Yoona was panting so hard, sweats all over her head and holding on her chest when she woke up the following day. She looked into the alarm clock, it was still so early - exactly five in the morning. She had a nightmare again. But this time, it wasn't about shouting of that girl - which she knows as Tiffany. Rather, it's about the sticky notes and this girl who was smiling on her through the whole dream. Unknowingly, the face of that girl is still so blur -- she couldn't see her face.

Lying back, her lips are lightly agape, as she catch on her breath -- recalling the images she saw in her dream. Two girls in a piano room, the cafe scene wherein, she felt her heart was broken, and the least... the sneaking of sticky notes to a certain notebook. All that -- it was making her this breathless... and certainly confuse. She was certain that it's another girl -- not Tiffany at all.

"Who was the girl?" She breathlessly ask herself.

Closing her eyes, that blur image of the girl smiling appeared again, she opened her eyes quickly. Her hold on top of her chest tightens as she felt that beat of her heart. It was truly one of her past. She's unsure if its good or not. But she doesn't care at all. As long as she got her memories back - so be it.

Placing her hands over her forehead, she sighed deeply and decided to have her nap again. 

An hour that passed, she woke up again without trouble with her breathing anymore.

She got up and walked in to her bathroom - wherein she had wash her face only. As they, she decided to have some exercise. She went to her closet and was reminded by the wrist band Seohyun gave the other day. That made her smile and wore it on her left wrist. After then, she change her clothes to a comfortable jogging pants and jersey shirt Seohyun also gave. She had also wore her new beanie again before she tied her hair and exited the room. She headed to the guest room where Tiffany was staying up. But to her dismay, the girl seems to be in a deep slumber still. There was no response from her calls. So shrugs and changes her mind. Before she went out alone, she made sure the guards know her reasons of leave.

The morning air was a bit cold for the day. But that doesn't stop Yoona. It only made her feel like alive. The more she was getting far, the more she felt her sweats are streaming down her cheeks.

She was having her jogging in the neighborhood, listening to a music through her headset connected to her phone.
