I HATE (Love) U
Congratulating

"They .. have known our existence."

Coinciding with Oldia's sentence, the sound of sirens rang a warning sign.

"A—what?!" Isni's brain doesn't respond fast.

"There's no time to explain. We need to get out of this room before they find us!"

Oldia slightly opened the door, creating a gap for herself to see outside. After making sure there was no one, he gave a gesture.

One by one they came out carefully. Although actually afraid, although actually anxious, but everything has already happened. They can't go back to that room anymore.

Riana held Itta's hand. He showed his true smile.

"Don't worry. Everything's gonna be okay. We can definitely be free from this place" whispered Riana.

Itta didn't answer. Neither was feeling anxious or scared as Riana said. Because for him .. This is just a dream.

"Wait a minute!" Oldia raised her hand, gesturing for the person behind her to stop walking. "There's people! Hide quickly!"

"What?! Hide away?! Where to hide?!" ask Lesya to panic.

In the midst of the panic, Yilse pulls Lesya's hand, taking her to hide in a wooden closet.

On the other hand, Riana and Itta were hiding under the table.

Elijah, Oldia and Isni hid behind the wall.

Zora, Killa, Hela, and Izume hid on the other side of the wall.

They split up for a while.

The sound of the clattering of steps was getting closer, making them act alert. Fortunately they had time to divide the sharp object that Izume and Isni picked up.

Six men carrying firearms appeared from behind the door. They run fast. Suddenly one of them stopped.

His forehead was slightly wavy, observing the cupboard that felt odd. He began to walk slowly, the gun in his hand raised towards the wooden object.

He stood in front of the wooden closet. Holding the doorknob, then turning it until it opened the rectangular object.

Allegedly right!

There are two people in it. The man immediately pulled the trigger.

DOR!!

The gunshot sounds loud. Red liquid splashed everywhere, soiling the floor, clothes as well as the faces of Yilse and Lesya. His body fell onto the cold floor with blood pouring down.

"Nearly," said Isni.

Lesya and Yilse's knees went limp for a moment.

Both of them were speechless, for shock and fear were too domineering. Tears just drip.

If it were late for even one second, one of them might die.

"I survived. I really survived" said Lesya Lirih. His heart felt dislodged when he saw the man standing in front of him while holding a gun.

Just like Lesya, Yilse was very relieved.

"Thank you, Isni," Yilse said sincerely. He was truly grateful to be safe.

"Not to be confused." Isni puffed her chest proud.

"Stupid!" Oldia clung to Isni's head hard.

"You're why, anyway? Envied?" The teenage girl did not accept Oldia's treatment of her.

"Why am I jealous of a stupid human like you?! You shouldn't have shot him! What if someone heard the gunshot?!"

Isni scratched her nape. "Sorry! I forgot about that."

"Basic fool!" maki Oldia again.

"Stop calling me stupid!" isni Protest.

"You're, aren't you, stupid!"

Amidst the debate between the two of them, Itta glanced at the blood that was pouring on the man's head, then looked back at Isni.

"Stop! Can you shut up?!" elijah said a little hard. Truly, Elijah was fed up with the debate of the two. "You guys are—"

"ELIA LOOKOUT!!!"

Elijah's words were cut off as someone pushed his body forcibly, followed by a deafening gunshot.

"Gee!"

Elijah quickly approached Hela. The woman was in pain from a gunshot wound received on her left arm.

Elijah raised his face. He looked up to see a man thrust his gun towards Itta who was in his arms.

"Give me your hands or I'll kill this woman!" threaten the man.

Elijah's teeth were churning. Highlight his eyes sharpen. "Take him off!"

"I'll take it off if you raise your hand."

"No way!" Isni avenges loud.

"Oh? So, you prefer the death of this woman?" A slanted smile was clearly imprinted on the lips.

Isni was about to attack, but Elijah stopped her hand immediately.

"Don't stop me!"

Elijah did not answer. All he did was raise both hands, admit defeat.

Isni's eyes are perfectly rounded.

"You're crazy, huh?!" ask Isni not to believe.

"Just do. We can't let one of us die."

Isni gnashed her teeth, restraining the overflowing anger within.

"You don't ...."

Isni's words stopped when she saw Oldia also raising her hands. Her eyes widened.

"You, too, did that?! Where's your degree, huh?!"

"You don't want that woman to die either, do you? Then follow his wish first."

Then, one by one people started to raise their hands. In the end, Isni also raised her hand even though she was reluctant.

"Now put down your weapons!" The man re-ruled.

Their eyes glanced at each other. It is like communicating through eye signals.

"What are you guys doing?! Quickly put!" yell again.

One gun was dropped by Izume. Then, the other women followed dropping the weapons.

That guy has a hostage. They can't do anything as long as someone is taken hostage.

"We've followed all your wishes. Now release the woman immediately" Elijah said. Try to look as calm as possible.

"What if I don't want to?"

Elijah's hand was clenched tightly, until his long nails stuck into the skin of the hand. It hurt, but in this situation, Elijah didn't care.

"You promised!" press that woman.

"Don't make me angry!"

"If you are angry, what will happen? After all, you can't do anything."

The man's gaze was clearly an understatement. If only there were no hostages, they might all be able to defeat him.

Isni sighed loudly. "I thought it would be this way."

He lowered his hand. Take the gun, then point it forward.

"Isni, what are you doing?!" Elijah's eyes widened to see the teenager's reckless actions.

"Kill him, what else?" answer Isni relax.

"Crazy basic! That woman could die if you put a gun on her!" Oldia growled in annoyance.

"Really! Therefore, drop the weapon quickly!" The man shouted. His scary face looks even more sinister.

"You think I care?"

At Isni's words, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Kill him if you want. Losing one person will not be bad for us, but vice versa. If one person dies, then our burden could be lighter than before" he continued.

"DESSENTIAL!!" Elijah shouted furiously.

"Why? It's his own fault not being careful."

His words were cold. No one expected Isni to spit out words that were cruel enough.

"Stop. You can hurt her heart" said Elijah. However, Isni did not care.

"You really don't care about this woman?" ask the man.

"Of course."

The man laughed until his eyes narrowed.

"You are cruel" he said in praise. "Alright, I'll grant your request."

A disgusting smile was pinned on the man's lips.

"Ah, after looking around you are beautiful like a goddess" she said as she looked at Itta's face. 'It's a pity I have to kill without having fucked you first."

The man looked very disappointed. However, that didn't stop him from killing Itta. He positioned the gun on Itta's head, preparing to pull the trigger.

"NOW!" shout Isni.

Someone threw a gun, then the man's hand was turned back. A loud kick hit his stomach, making him groan in pain.

After giving a slight attack, Killa held Itta's hand and stayed away from the man.

"I don't think you're good at fighting either!" puji Isni's. He patted Killa's shoulder proudly.

A woman with a beautiful face like a doll and long wavy hair, who would have thought that she was good at fighting?

"I learned taekwondo first. Although not the most powerful, but I can do it a little," Killa said shyly.

"Wow! It's great!"

He gave both his thumbs.

"You deliberately said that sentence because of this?" asked Elijah at the side.

"Yes." Yeah."

"I think Killa can attack that guy without you saying something rude like that."

"Indeed."

"Then, what did you say that cruel word to?"

"Just join."

"Huh?" Elijah did not understand Isni's words.

"That's it. He did" Oldia said. The woman suddenly entered the conversation

"I'm not talking to you. Go there! Your face makes me want to vomit," Isni said provoking Oldia's irritation again.

"Si*lan you!"

"Stop. We're leaving now." Yilse.

They continued their journey back to the room that had the possibility of safety.

However, the voice behind them made them all turn around.

Their eyes were round, shocked at the actions Riana was taking now.

The woman who had short hair stuck a knife in the man's body repeatedly. When his eyes saw the gazes that the people were staring at, the knife was dropped.

"I did it out of fear that he would suddenly attack" Riana said.

They glanced at each other for a moment.

"It's okay" said Elijah. "But, we better leave now before anyone sees again."

Riana nodded. The woman followed the others.

Itta was able to see the clenched and also vibrating hands of Riana. Riana's eyes showed something that maybe only Itta realized.

Those eyes seemed to say that the real reason for Riana was not that.
