Chapter 51 - Being Followed [3] (1/2)

Pushing away all the negative thoughts at the back of her mind, Moon Jiwoo decided to face the situation with confidence. After all, the only solution to this is— although it did not seem all that reliable— is to give it all.

Seeing how those two men extended their hands toward Sookyung, her eyes narrowed, and as creases appeared between both of her eyebrows, she gripped on to both of their wrists.

Taking this opportunity, Sookyung grabbed on to their legs, and pulling those legs, he tried to make those men slip. But regardless of how much strength he used, it was not possible for him to move those leg slightly.

Raising Sookyung's head, he stared at the men dressed in black, and their lips curved to form a small smirk.

After that, those two men flung their hands, and the strength caused Moon Jiwoo to lose her hold on their. With her stability being disrupted due to the impact, Jiwoo fell back.

Her shoulders came in contact with the road, and pain permeated through the back side of her body. A groan left her mouth while she pressed her palm on the ground, attempting to sit up.

Sookyung, on the other hand, scanned both of the men with his eyes, and when something caught his eyes, he clapped both of his hands together.

When one of those men was about to grip his hand, he jumped back, and then, his eyes fell on to Moon Jiwoo.

Judging from the way he was staring at her, Jiwoo had a ominous feeling rising within her ċhėst at that, and she stood up.

The two men did not waste a second before making a move towards Sookyung. However, before they could catch him, Sookyung grabbed Moon Jiwoo and pushed her body on top of theirs. After that, he turned his back on them and began running away at this best speed.

Since this action of his caught her by surprise, Jiwoo's body collided against the two men slightly before she was able to compose herself.

”Distract them for me, alright?” he yelled before disappearing.

A sigh left Jiwoo's mouth at that. Regardless of how much she was seething with anger due to his actions, it was her priority to protect him.

A fiercesome look settled on her face while her determination to defeat them increased.

The three men attempted to run after Sookyung, but Moon Jiwoo grabbed on to two men's wrist while she kicked the other one on the knee with all the strength she was able to muster up.

The one that was kicked on the knee instantly fell back as his hand gripped on to his knee while the other two struggled against her grip. However, unlike the last time, they were not able to get rid of her strength.

The man that have been kicked down instantly stood up and began to run towards Sookyung. Seeing that, Jiwoo's eyes widened, and she was out of ideas on how to stop them.

Glaring at both the man before her, she was about to make move on them. However, that's when, she noticed how both of them raised their hands, and claws extended out from them.

Seeing that, she was caught by surprise, and a gasp escaped from her mouth. Before they were able to attack her, she removed their grip off of them and jumped a considerably large distance back.

However, it seemed that this time, those two men considered her to an opponent as well. Moving forward towards her, one of them were about to attack her with his claws.

Her eyes narrowed at that, and instinctively, she dodged his attack. But that's when she grew aware of the presence behind her, and noticing how a pair of claw was about to attack her, she squeezed her eyes close.

However, that attack never came for her, and Jiwoo found herself being pulled into a warm embrace. That sudden action caught her by surprise, and her eyes widened.

Hearing sounds, Jiwoo raised her head from that embrace, and a familiar face fell into her line of sight. A man stood before her, and judging from her memory, he was exactly the same man who had pulled her from the road the other day.

His appearance captivated her in that instant, and she found it difficult to move her eyes away from him. But when something warm touched her cheeks, she was pulled out of her trance.

Raising her hand, Jiwoo touched her cheek, and bringing her hand in front of her eyes, she noticed the red liquid on top of her hand.

Her eyes dilated in horror at that, and when she turned to her left, she noticed that their laid two corpse on the ground. The sight of that frightened Jiwoo, and she subconsciously jumped back.
