Dong Min's P.O.V:
Because of what I did last time, Serenity called his uncle.
And ask me to meet her in their residence.
Kim's here, and..
Norman.
Upon entering, Norman suddenly ran, pushed me then grabbed my neck.
" What did you do? You have no idea how tired she was searching for that thing! What do you even know? Are you even a human? Do you have emotions?" Norman whispered
" Norman, it's enough!" Serenity pulled Norman and stood infront of me.
" Why are you still defending him?" Norman asked
" You think violence will resolve everything? I trust Dong Min. And I know he didn't do it just because he wants to" Serenity said
" I thought we already teamed up" Mr. Dave said
" Uh. Why don't you listen to Dong Min first? He did a good thing" Kim said
" The truth is, that flashdrive is fake" I said
" What do you mean fake? I found it in our past house" Serenity said
" Chandelier?" I said
" How.. did you know?" Serenity asked
" It's because it's a fake one" Kim said
" Why don't you explain more?" Norman asked
I sighed..
" I asked Kim before to create a code. The fake one. And I told him to put it somewhere in their past house" I explained
" That's why he followed us" Norman said
" Then what's inside the flashdrive? I'm sure he'll know it's fake" Serenity said
" I created almost hundred folders. It's all about your family. There's pictures,too to make it real. And there's one folder that I created for a code" Kim said
" That's what you did? I'm afraid he knew it's a fake one now" I said
" Then, what if he does something against.." Serenity said
" That means the real one is still missing" Mr. Dave said
I sighed..
" It's too early yet the the sun's almost on the peak. It's too hot" Kim sighed
I looked at Serenity and her crystal necklace is shining brightly because of the sun light.
" Your necklace " I pointed her necklace.
" My father gave it" she said
She's standing near the wall and there's some letters written beside her.
"Don't move" I said to Serenity
"Huh?"
I came close to her.
"There are letters" I said
They all looked at the letters.
" It's coming from her necklace. It's a refraction. The letters showed when the sun light directly hitted her necklace. This is surely the code. Sam really is great" Mr. Dave said
" But, I think we still need to decipher these" Serenity said while holding her necklace.
" We need to ask for help" Mr. Dave said
" We're coming" Norman said
" No, I think it'll be suspicious if we're many" Mr. Dave said
" Then, I'll go, too instead" I said
" No, you need to watch carefully Ryan. I will go with her" Mr. Dave said
" Norman and Kim, tell Sebastian" Mr. Dave said
" What? Why are you going to tell him?" Serenity asked
" He's not what you think. He also acted against his will" Mr. Dave said
" Then, let us all go now" Kim said
I nodded.
Before I go, I came closer to Mr. Dave.
" Mr. Dave, take care of her" I said
" Of course, I will. Let's put an end to this" he smiled
I walk towards Serenity.
" Take care" I smiled before kissing her forehead
" You, too" she smiled.
Dave's P.O.V:
It's time, Sam.
You will finally find peace.
I did a lot of research and I never thought that the code is in her.
" Hon, stay with Sy for a moment. Don't ever open the door. I'll call you when I got home. Stay safe" I said to my wife
" You're the one who should take care. Come back safe, Dave. Promise me!" She said while holding my hands
" I promise" I kissed her.
I get my gun..
" Where's Rin?" I asked
" She's already inside the car" my wife said
I smiled.
I ride in the car and saw her sitting at the back.
" Rin? Are you okay?" I asked
" I'm.. nervous and afraid. Will this really help?" She asked
" It sure will, Rin. Don't worry, your uncle will protect you" I smiled
On our way to the police station, we've run in an accident scene.
There's an old woman trapped in the car.
These people are only taking a photo instead of asking for help.
I got out of the car and went to that old woman.
" Are you okay, maam?" I asked her
" Yes, yes. Please help me" she said
" I will. Someone call for ambulance!" I shouted
I used all my strength to help her get out of the car.
Other men are coming to help me.
I sighed.
She's safe now.
" Thank you" she said
" Don't move for a while. Wait for the ambulance. This is it now, maam. I still need to do something. Please take care from now on"
She smiled.
I looked at my car and there's smoke inside.
I rushed over.
" Rin!!???? Rin!!!!" She's gone missing.
I get my phone and called Dong Min immediately.
I also called Sebastian for help.
I drive fast to the station.
She's still wearing the necklace.
This can't be.
I failed!!
I failed at protecting her!
Norman's P.O.V:
I lost her.
I lost my sight on Rin.
I'm busy following her so I wasn't able to contact Mr. Dave.
I stopped for a moment then I called Mr. Dave.
" Sir, I'm following her but I lost her" I said
" You saw her? Where is she?"
" Someone took her and put her in a van. I'll keep finding her. I'll try to track her. Is her cellphone with her?" I gasps
" I think so because it's not in the back seat of my car. Tell me once you find her. Thank you, Norman. I owe you a lot. Take care" he said before ending the call
It's a good choice to follow them and let Kim talked to Sebastian instead.
Being stubborn is sometimes helpful.
I downloaded a tracker app before in her cellphone when I borrowed it.
I think she's somewhere near here.
I will be able to see her location.
She's in a warehouse near here.
I sent her location to Mr. Dave.
I rushed towards in her location.
Should I call Dong Min?
There are watchmen in every corner of the warehouse.
There are a total of 6 watchmen.
I sent a message to Dong Min and Shoto.
I peeped at the window and saw Rin tied in a chair.
There's another one hostage.
Who is that?
I turned my sight where there's an upcoming vehicle.
It's Sebastian
He also tried to avoid being seen by the watchmen.
He saw me and came towards me.
" Why are you here?" I asked him
" My wife's missing. And Ryan told me she's here" he said
So she's the other hostage.
" They're both tied up in a chair" I whispered while pointing her the direction.
" Shall we go now?" He asked
" How? We don't even have any tools. Let's wait for the back up" I said
" Ryan has a short temper. He's waiting inside for sure" he said before turning his back on me
" Wait, are you really going now?" I whispered
" If you don't want, I'm not insisting you" he said before grabbing a metal stick
Hayystt! Oldmen are really impatient.
I also grab a metal stick.
He went straight directly to the front of the warehouse and attack the watchmen.
Wow. I'm now part of the action scene.
There are more fighters coming including the watchmen.
I thought they're only six! Where did they come from?
I joined Sebastian..
They keep on coming.
What are these guys?
Why do they keep on standing after being beaten up?
Are they zombies!??
We are cornered.
" Are you still up, kid?" Sebastian laughed
" I'm getting impatient!" I shouted before smashing someone in front of me.
We keep on moving towards the door of the warehouse.
Others can't stand up anymore.
Sebastian finished the remaining fighters.
We sighed ..
" The devil one's there" Sebastian gasps
" I somehow developed my horns when my villain dad left us ever since" I sighed
We kicked the door together.
I can't hear well because I was hitted on my left head earlier..
Sebastian's also covered in blood.
Ryan's not here..
We saw his wife and Rin.
We rushed towards them and untied them.
" Why are you here?" Rin sobs
" To save you" I smiled
" Because of me, you were beaten up like that" she sobs
" I will be okay" I smiled
" Let's hurry and go" Sebastian said
Upon facing the direction of the door, we saw Ryan's standing.
He's clapping his hands.
" Well, well, well. It's a dramatic heroine act!" He laughed
" Why did you take my wife?" Sebastian asked while holding tight his wife
Ryan suddenly turned into a serious mode and get a gun from his pocket.
" You think I'm numb? You think I didn't know you're betraying me? I just acted I don't know to get what I want" Ryan said
" You had the necklace, why don't you let us go?" I asked
" Like the hell I would. I'm still waiting for other witnesses here so I could end each one of you at the same time. " He showed the roof of the warehouse.
There are..
Hanging bombs!!!
I didn't notice it...
" What's the use of getting rid of the evidences in the code if there are still witnesses!?" Ryan shouted
" Then we promise not to tell anyone" I said
" You're still a coward, Norman" he said
I was shock.
Rin held my hand.
" How did you know him?" Rin to Ryan
" Is there a father who can't notice his own child?" He said that made me stop.
" You're a liar!" Rin said
" Tell me, why did you chose to become her protector and guardian instead of being my son?" He asked
How did he know it??
I'm sure I'd get rid of everything related to him.
That villain father!
" It's because you're not my father. If there was a father to me, he died a long time ago" I said
" You're still my son" he smiled
That's irritating smile!
" You don't have the right to call me that way! And I am no longer your son! I have abandoned you ever since my mom died because of you! You're a pure evil!" I shouted
" It's not my fault that she died. She died because she slept with hundreds of men" he said that made me let go of Rin's hand and run towards him.
I grabbed his neck.
" Don't..you.. dare insult my mom!!!!!!!!" I shouted and removed the gun from his hand
" Norman, stop it!" Rin shouted
I raised him higher until he choked.
And I let go..
He sitted and I punch him.
My vision's turning black..
I keep on punching him.
Rin run to stop me..
I stopped punching him when he showed a remote.
" Keep doing that and I'll press it. We'll all gonna die" he laughed
I was going to punch him but Rin grab and hug me.
" No, Norman! You're not like him. You will never do what he did" she sobs
I calmed down..
I saw someone at the back of Sebastian
" Sebastian!" I shouted
Sebastian looked back and stopped someone from firing the gun to Rin.
He held that someone's arm so he won't fire but he's having a difficult time because just like him, that someone is also a big person.
Sebastian's becoming weak.
We already fought many earlier.
The gun was suddenly pointed to his wife.
He pushed the man and run towards her wife.
He was about to change the direction of his wife by pushing her but he was suddenly..
Shot.
" Sebastian!!!!!!" I shouted
I kick the remote thaat Ryan's holding.
I ran and hit the man with metal and make sure he will never wake up anymore.
Sebastian's P.O.V:
After hearing the gunshot..
I now hear the police sirens.
My wife sobs.
" Elsa" I said
" Hon " she sobs.
She tore her jacket and stressed it in my chest.
Norman quickly dialed the ambulance.
There are police men approaching.
And I saw Shoto and Ray running towards me.
" Dad!" Ray and Shoto sobs
" My two sons" I smiled
I looked at Elsa and kiss her hand.
" Forgive me Elsa. Forgive me for everything" I said
" Why are you saying that? We will still eat dinner together with Shoto, and Ray" she smiled
" I just want to tell you I'm sorry, and forgive me for everything I've done. I love you and will always be"
" I already forgive you. I just can't bring back the old me. I'm sorry" she sobs
" Shhh! It's not your fault"
" It's not also your fault, it's an accident. Stay awake okay? We still need to eat together and have fun" she sobs
" I'm happy. I'm really happy" my tears suddenly fall.
I smiled and looked at Ray and Shoto.
" Forgive me, Shoto. For being bad to your mom, and for being a bad father"
" It's not like you to apologise" he cries.
" Take care of your mom" I smiled
" No!! You're the one who will take care of her. You still need to show her how much you love her" he sobs
" I will " I smiled
" Forgive me, Ray. I'm sorry for asking you to do things against your will. I just want you to stay.. I thought of you being a spy will actually made you feel close to me. But you feel hatred instead. I'm sorry. Your mom, she's totally safe in the hospital. I never forsake your mother because he's your mom. Please tell your mom once she wakes up that I'm really sorry. Ahhh!" My chest are more in pain now.
" You should be the one to tell that to mom. Stop speaking and listen to us instead. Shoto told me everything, and I understand. Thank you for keeping my mom safe. I forgive you, dad" he cries.
My vision's starting to blur..
I don't want to close my eyes..
Not now...
We still need to spend so much time together..
Peacefully...
But something's dragging my eyes close..
" I..love you Elsa, Shoto, Ray" I smiled..
Serenity's P.O.V:
" Let me go!!" I shouted
Ryan's holding me tightly.
Before the police arrived, he covered my mouth and dragged me outside the warehouse.
He's dragging me inside the field with big grasses.
I can't see the warehouse anymore.
He's still carrying his gun.
I struggle to escape..
Then we suddenly stopped.
I looked who's infront of him that made him stop.
" Norman? Why do you keep on following me!? You'll get more hurt" I said
" It's nothing. I don't want you to get hurt and be hurt by this villain" he pointed Ryan
" What can you do now, son?" Ryan insulted
" Stop calling me, son! Let go of her!" Norman shouted
" If you would let me escape " Ryan said
I shaked my head to Norman.
I saw my necklace on the back pocket of Ryan and I slowly took it.
He pointed his gun to Norman and grabbed my hair.
" Let go of her!" Dong Min gasps
" Wow. My sons are all here" Ryan said
" You're not my father. You killed my father!" Dong Min shouted
" Really? It's because you're father is too great that my father abandoned me! And he stole my one and only love!" Ryan grabbed my hair even more tightly.
I screamed..
" I said let go of her!" Dong Min run and punches Ryan
Ryan punches back.
Norman grab me.
" Let's go!" He said
" No! Dong Min!"
" Go!" Dong Min shouted
He's in pain..
His nose is bleeding..
I stopped.
He let go of me.
" I can't. Help him, Norman. Please!" I sob to Norman
" No. He wants you to be safe. Let's go!" He once hold me
" No!" I let go of his hand and run back to Dong Min.
Dong Min's down..
Ryan hit him hard.
He's pointing his gun to Dong Min.
I grab the metal bat lying on the field.
" Dong Min!" I hit Ryan
Dong Min barely moves his body.
I guided him to stand..
And Ryan's suddenly pointing his gun at us.
" You're a tough trash, Ryan!" I said
" I'll take that as a compliment" he said
He almost click his gun so I closed my eyes to avoid seeing how he will shoot me.
I heard the gun shot and I don't feel any pain.
I opened my eyes..
And..
……………
……………………
Norman's infront of us..
Smiling..
I... can't...move..... because of what I see.
Then..someone suddenly shot Ryan..
Norman...
He's bleeding...
I accidentally let go of Dong Min and held Norman.
" No, no, no, no, Norman!" I sob
I sitted and I helped him lay down slowly.
He puke blood.
I tore my broken shirt and stressed his chest.
" No. This can't be happening" I sob
He held my face and smile.
" Why do you keep on smiling at me even in this situation?" I sob
" Because I always want you to remember the smiling me"
Uncle Dave walks toward us.
" I handcuffed Ryan. I'll call the ambulance immediately" Uncle said
" You don't have to protect me always" I said
" It's not my duty anymore to protect you. It's my will. I want you to be safe" he smiled
" Please stay alive. I still want to repay you. I owe you a lot"
" You can repay me now by answering my question. If Dong Min wasn't here, will you be able to like me?" He asked
My tears keep on falling.
I held his hand.
" I..did like you" I smile
" That's.. good to hear. You..hear her Dong Min? If..you weren't here, maybe she..and I-"
" If you want her, then stay alive. You can't get her from me if you didn't stay alive" Dong Min said
" As if you..will really let me..steal her" Norman smiled.
" Why is the ambulance always took so long!?" I sob
Norman shaked his head.
" Sebastian and I fought a countless zombies earlier, so like him, I'm also tired. I want to take a rest now" he said
" Then why did you act without back ups?" Dong Min asked
Norman looked at me.
" I want to do something for you that no one else can't and will never do" he said
" And this isn't it" I sob
" I think it is. And I'm happy" he smiled
I... can't breathe normally because it really hurts.
" You can't close your eyes right now, you understand? You can take a rest once the help arrive, okay?" I said
" Why don't we...talk about good things?" Dong Min asked to Norman
Norman's really pale now.
" Norman? Thank you for everything. You will always be my hero" I smiled
" It was my best birthday ever, Rin. Tha m you for making my birthday extra special last time" he smiled
" We still have a lot of birthdays to celebrate, so please stay awake, Norman" I sob
" The code... it's not only the evidence, your father's bank account is also safe in that place. He made it for you and Sy" he smiled
The ambulance arrived and they're getting Norman.
I am still holding his hand..
" Norman? Norman? Promise me we'll meet again. Promise me!" I sob
He smiled..
They also take Dong Min to treat his wounds.
" I will stay him awake" Dong Min smiled
I smiled...
With full of pain...
Uncle Dave with other police men escorted me to the station..
I wore my necklace.
Mr. Sebastian.....
I know what you've been through and I understand..
I'm not mad at you...
But if you want to hear me forgive you, then I'll say it..
Mr. Sebastian, I am now forgiving you.
Thank you for sending your files and video being a witness for my parents death before you're gone.
Thank you....
Norman.... Please stay alive.
I'm begging you.
Dong Min's P.O.V:
Before I finally ride in the ambulance with Norman.
Ryan grabbed my hand.
" Where's Norman? Is he okay?" He asked
" As if you're worried" I said
" Please take a look after my son, please Dong Shin" he asked
Son?
" You have no right to call me by my real name. If he's your son, you should have atleast think of the possible consequences before you did everything. You only listened to your greediness. You're not a human being..." I seriously said before riding in the ambulance.
I sitted..
And Norman's lying down.
He's still awake.
" Thank you for not closing your eyes" I sighed
He held my hand..
" Please take care of her for me" he smiled
I can't smile at all..
Because what I feel is pain for seeing him like this..
" You used to be bold and strong. I can't continue seeing you lie like that" my tears fall.
" It's the first time I see cold-looking Dong Min cry. It doesn't suit you" he smiled
" Lying down doesn't suit you as well" I tried to smile even though I feel hurt inside.
" Dong Min, I'm happy that you came here" he smiled
" What do you mean? If I wasn't here, you and Serenity-"
" It's not that. I'm thankful. Because if you're not here, she will have no one to lean on the most. She will love no one if I died in the same situation if you're not here. So thank you!" he smiled
He's starting to close his eyes..
" Norman?" I shaked his body
" Why?"
" You didn't die. And you will stay alive, okay?
Just..keep on talking to me" I sob
" Tell Rin that I'm really sorry...and tell her to always smile"
I cried because I know it's too late now..
" Promise me. That you'll love no one, but her. You'll take care of no one, but her. You'll kiss and hug no one, but her. You will protect no one, but her" he cried.
I turned my sight outside of the window.
And I silently burst into tears.
He's still holding my hand..
He tapped my hand so I looked at him.
" Promise me, Idiot" he smiled
I can't say anything...
If I say that word...he will...
" Faster... promise me. Cha Dong Min will do what I wish. Promise me" he smiled while his tears falling
I nodded.
" I....promise" I sob
" I'm.......happy"
He smiled.
His hands turned cold and I burst into tears.
I sob loudly.
" Norman!!!!!! Wake up!!!!! I shouldn't have said that if you're going to leave us!!! Wake up!!!" I'm shaking his body and the nurse held me.
He's gone... Norman's really gone.
