The Padlock of Destiny
Gone

Pov Author.

Kyuhyun's limp body fell on Hyora. The hot iron hit his back, the deep red blood soaked the man's black clothes. Hyora who fell in shock immediately sat hugging her body, her eyes staring intently at the foreign man who was the shooter.

The face of the man in black was disguised by the sunglasses he was wearing. The perpetrator was still brandishing his weapon at them, he seemed hesitant when he saw his shot miss. He should have shot dead a woman named Shin Hyora, not a man. He intended to take a second shot to complete his task when two shots hit his right hand and scratched his cheek.

Eunhyuk ran through the corridor of the apartment approaching the gunman. His handgun fired several bullets as he approached.

The shooter sensed that he could not escape if he insisted on shooting the girl. If he makes gun contact with an NIS agent, their boss's situation will get more complicated. In order to save himself, he was forced to flee without giving a retaliatory shot.

Eunhyuk failed to catch the perpetrator, he rushed to the open elevator. His eyes were shocked to see Kyuhyun's unconscious body on the elevator floor. Hyora had already moved to press on Kyuhyun's back trying to stop the bleeding. Seeing the red liquid still flowing on Hyora's fingers, Eunhyuk took off the jacket he was wearing and replaced Hyora's hand pressing down on it.

"Honey, hang on!” Hyora said pleading.

“KYU!” Call Eunhyuk, but the man is unconscious.

"Call Kibum, bring an ambulance here! Hurry along!" Eunhyuk threw his mobile phone towards Hyora. The girl caught him and immediately called for help. Kyuhyun's breathing began to weaken, his body temperature dropped rapidly due to the loss of a lot of blood.

It took a few minutes before the ambulance came to rescue Kyuhyun. Hyora ran into the ambulance following her lover, while Kyuhyun would catch up with her car.

"Oppa, hangin! Please!" Hyora's whisper when she saw medics installing oxygen cylinders and performing an emergency rescue.

"His blood pressure is too high!"

"His heart rate is weakening!"

Hyora's eyes stared blankly at the figure of the man in front of her. He had never seen her lying weak like that. Even when carrying out missions, he always looks strong even though he is seriously injured.

@UGD Hospital

Hyora's body fell down upon seeing Kyuhyun being pushed into the emergency room. He looked down at the two hands stained in red while trying to save his lover.

He was confused, not knowing what had happened. They were supposed to be sunbathing in Miami and enjoying a vacation before they got married. The list of holiday plans they put together last week is still written in his notes. But today, he suddenly woke up to find the man had been shot in front of his eyes. What the hell is going on? the shooter was clearly eyeing him, how did Kyuhyun know the target of the shooter before?

The sound of footsteps caught Hyora's attention, He saw Eunhyuk coming with a foreign man in glasses.

"How's it?" Eunhyuk asked, He pulled the girl's body and made her sit in the waiting chair.

Hyora who heard his question just shook her head resignedly, She doesn't know. All they could do was pray and wait for a miracle.

Kibum looked at the door of the ER near them, the lights were still burning red with the inscription is doing the operation. If only He and Eunhyuk had arrived earlier, Kyuhyun would not have been lying there.

A few hours later, the emergency light above the door finally died. A green-clothed uisa walked out of the room and greeted the three. The doctor's face was not good, so no one dared to ask about Kyuhyun's condition.

The doctor smiled sadly at the three, he opened the mask on his face and said, "The operation has been carried out, the bullet was successfully taken. But the bullet had injured his lungs, we lost the best chance to save him. Forgive us" bowed, the doctor left.

"I'm sorry, we failed to save him. The patient died of heart failure in the middle of the operation." The doctor replied, He nodded his head apologizing and left the three who were still standing still.

Hyora ran into the room and saw her body covered in a white blanket. Slowly, he opened the white blanket. Kyuhyun's pale face with his eyes closed made Hyora's breath choked. He examined the man's pulse and breathing, but he could not feel any signs of life. Her tears broke discovering that her lover had left, only a lifeless body lying in front of her.

The man could no longer hold her, kiss her on the forehead, and smile at her. Then what good is he to live if the reason for his existence is lost?

@Mafia Headquarters

The room temperature is shades of dark red that feels warm compared to the outside temperature that reaches - 20°C. A large fireplace that burned some light-scented wood became the only warmer. Some people were sitting in an oval chair in the middle of the room. No one dared to make a sound when the mafia leader received a phone call.

"How's it?" Ask a man sitting in the main seat by phone. His voice has a very strong Russian accent.

He listened to his subordinate's report for a few seconds before shouting, "STUPID! Come back now!"

The subordinate who shouted at him answered him and said some suggestions.

"No need, the NIS has canceled our cooperation because of your mistake. Your group will be punished upon return!"

Call closed immediately. He threw the handpone on the table, making some of the vice leaders sitting on the round table surprised and looked at him. Seven people attended the emergency meeting. A late twentieth chairman, a beautiful young woman, two middle-aged men, and three elderly men.

"Our men failed to kill the girl, they killed the male agent who was with her." Obviously the chairman was grim.

"Then let my subordinates finish him off." An elder volunteered to complete their mission.

"No! NIS won't let us touch their agents again." The leader of the group firmly rejected the idea of the elder.

"Since when did our group become subordinate to NIS!" An openly dressed woman asked with a clear satire. A white hand with red-painted nails grabbed a glass of drink on the table regardless of the other members' views.

"Are you afraid of them?" Connect the elder next to him.

"I've never been afraid of them!" The mob leader refused.

"Then let's kill the girl! Our problem will be solved!" Speak the first elder. His wrinkled face looked even scarier because of his anger.

"Don't act rashly! They have a list of our people's identities!" The Mafia leader again warned his members.

"I'm not afraid the list is leaking!" Refute to another elder.

"Do you intend to sacrifice our brothers?!" Asked the man next to her sharply.

"Take them somewhere safe!" The woman who enjoyed the whiskey in her hand gave the idea casually, her eyes staring at the silly elders and leaders who were arguing uselessly.

"Let me take care of it. Meeting's dissolved!" Mafia leaders end their meeting. He stood up and left the room followed by his two trusted bodyguards.
