pretending to be strong
No matter how strong you pretend to be,
"It would be better not to do anything foolish."
"Ugh..."
When Sarah was in pain, the seven of them couldn't move. Their eyes were fixed solely on Sarah.
"What do you want;;?"
The man smiled and said in response to Seokjin's question.
"Haven't I always wanted just one thing?"
Yes, as always, he extorted money from us. He held us hostage and threatened our families. The amount of money he's already extorted is well over a billion dollars.
Human greed is endless, so he suddenly appeared and brought Sarah to that point. He knew that Sarah was our greatest weakness.
“No matter what, I can’t give you that much money in one day.”
"If you want to give it to me, then fine. But I'll keep Sarah with me until I give you the money."
" what!! "
He's already messed up Sarah enough. And what more could he possibly do to her later, leaving her in that care?
" ····· "
The seven men's expressions hardened into grim expressions at the man's hearty laugh. Taking advantage of the gap, Sera sent a signal.
Don't worry about me, just catch this kid
The seven people looked at each other as if to ask what he was talking about.
When I give you the signal, you have to hold on tight
Sera was already hurt beyond repair. This could have been a truly dangerous situation. But Sera couldn't just listen to him, so she decided to catch him while she could.
One, two, three...
" now!! "
Puck - !
Sarah elbowed him hard in the stomach. The man lost the shard of glass, but immediately tried to grab Sarah.
"Where, "
Puck, puck - !!
Jungkook beat him mercilessly, not even giving him a chance. He made it seem like he could maim and kill someone with just his fists.
"Ugh, that damn bitch."
The man caught Jeongguk's swift fist. Startled, Jeongguk tried to kick, but the man threw him away.
Boom - !
Jeongguk, who had hit his back hard, had difficulty getting up right away.
"··· I guess your skills haven't died yet?"
This guy is fighting, and Jungkook can't handle it alone. After all, he's the one who gave Jimin and Sera strength in the first place.
"Park Se-ra, no matter what, it's useless to hit your teacher."
"Master? Huh! Don't be ridiculous. Mom didn't give me the money properly, so you took advantage of me and Park Jimin;;"
"Why is it my fault? Isn't it all that woman's fault?"
"Shut your mouth."
"What are you talking about when you can't even look me in the eye?"
Sarah's body trembled slightly. It was a natural reaction. Despite being her father's friend, she had been lured by money and played with by that woman. But she was still someone she trusted...
I didn't know you would betray me like this.
"Sarah told me to shut up."
Hoseok was behind the man, not knowing when he'd moved. He immediately strangled him, but his strength was so strong that the man couldn't move properly.
"You can't kill me."
Pook -
Seokjin took out a syringe and plunged it into the man's neck. He injected the drug, and the man staggered and collapsed.
"Tsk, that's a dog;;"
Seokjin and Hoseok shook their hands as if they'd touched something dirty. Taehyung helped Jungkook up, and Namjoon called someone.
"Whew..."
"Sarah, are you okay...?"
Jimin was busy checking on Sarah's condition.
"I'm okay, this much..."
Sarah hid her trembling hands behind her back. She didn't want to cause unnecessary concern.
"Haa... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left you alone..."
"I said I'm fine."
"What's okay?"
Min Yoongi grabbed Sera's wrist. Sera flinched. Her body reacted as old memories came flooding back. Even though I pretended nothing was wrong, I wasn't.
"I really..."
"Be stubborn if you want to be stubborn"
Yoongi lifted Sarah into his arms. Sarah struggled to get off, but the pain she felt left her unable to move.
"I won't accept your help anymore..."
"Yes, please be quiet, miss."
I decided to just keep my mouth shut. I couldn't possibly beat these guys anyway.
Noisy -
"Master...!"
"Why are you so late;;?" Namjoon
" sorry... "
"Take that guy away right now."
"That guy..."
"Yeah, that kid."
" All right. "
As the crowd gathered, the situation was resolved. Considering Sarah's aversion to hospitals, they headed to Namjoon's mansion, while Jimin, unable to leave, had to remain at the banquet hall.

On the way to the mansion by car,
"What about Park Jimin?"
"He'll come later. He said he can't leave his seat."
"No... If Mom finds out I'm not here...!"
"Shouldn't you be taking care of yourself right now?" Taehyung
"Park Jimin is better than me..."
"How long are you going to neglect yourself?"
Namjoon said, looking at Sarah's neck wound.
"I said I was okay, obviously."
" please "
" ····· "
"Please don't pretend everything is fine in front of us."
"You're having a hard time... Why do you keep acting strong?"
The car became quiet. Sarah turned her head toward the window.
If I lose someone precious to me... I lose my reason to live.
The pain of losing a loved one was the same for Serana and Joohee. They prioritized others over their own suffering.
