I told Jia as if it was nothing,
DanielThis is the biggest mission after taking over as boss.
Today, not only was the mission accomplished here in his hands, but the fate of Zia and Daniel was also in his hands.
"Stand tight. This is the beginning of this fight, and it will be the end."
The largest number of people respond.
"yes!"
Even Daniel, who rarely gets nervous, clenches his fist tightly.
“Everyone, take care of yourselves.
On the battlefield, the only thing that can protect you is yourself.
“Don’t expect help from your colleagues!”
Something I said six years ago.
I hope today is the last day I get to say this.
"Jia. Where are you?"
I got a call from Yoonha.
I guess Yoon-ha also knows that Daniel went on an operation today.
“I’m going to the store.”
Go to the store first and open the door.
Soon after, Yoon-ha also comes in.
“You came quickly?”
“Yeah. I just got here.”
“Why all of a sudden? What’s going on?”
“When is Daniel coming back?”
“It takes a week.”
"ah.."
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”
“By any chance, Jia. Do you know what happens when Daniel returns?”
“Why? What’s going on?”
“No. I didn’t know either, so I asked.
“Should I make something delicious for the first time in a while?”
“Okay then.”
Yoon-ha told her not to worry about it, but Ji-ah was annoyed by her words. When Daniel returns... what will happen then?
“We don’t have any ingredients. Let’s go buy some.”
"huh."
It's been a long time since I last walked side by side with Yoon-ha. My memories are returning, and Ji-ah used to ride Daniel's car, but Yoon-ha insists on walking.
“What did Daniel say..?”
“Just. Stay with me while I’m gone.”
“What else do you mean?”
“After this is over, I’ll quit my job and live with you.”
It was something Daniel didn't say to Zia.
At first, I was a little worried. I hadn't thought about what would happen after that.
But now I feel better.
“What should I make? Tarts? Macaroons?”
“Um... tart?”
“We’re in big trouble!!”
“Don’t panic! Just look straight ahead! Do you understand?!”
"yes!"
As Jia waited for Daniel to return, she recalled what he loved. At that moment, Daniel couldn't relax for even a moment, determined to return.
Bang-! Bang-! Bang-!
A firefight had begun. The mission, so casually described, was a matter of life and death, perhaps carrying a higher chance of death than survival.
bang-!
A shot from Daniel. It pierced the opponent's chest.
bang-!
And then a shot from the other side. It grazed Daniel's forearm, his clothes ripped open. Red blood flowed through the torn garment.
I never thought I wouldn't get hurt. My goal was to get out alive. That's all.
"Boss. We're short-staffed. If we continue like this..."
“Be quiet. In front.”
bang-!
“Black..!”
“...Je...Jepo...”
A colleague died before his eyes. His blood splattered across Daniel's face.
“Boss...ugh...!”
I heard the screams of my comrades from all directions. The sound of gunfire, the screams. I was disoriented. I had to come to my senses, I had to keep my guard up. The thoughts that had been issuing those orders suddenly went blank.
Bang—! Bang—!
