Last chance

{3RD PER POV}

In Hunter's territory, Sang Kil sprawled in his office chair fuming in anger. He found it hard to believe that someone in Seoul had the bravery to hurt his brother.

Not only did they hurt him but they left his hands amputated, how is he going to take care of his family with no hands?

The news of his hospitalized brother was a blow to him. He knows his brother enjoys nightlife and lives a carefree life.

Jae-Bung lives carelessly, bars and clubs are his regular. He's known as a chronic womanizer, he has gone to jail for sleeping with minors but somehow the case was dismissed.

His wife is tired of his lifestyle and was ready to file for a divorce, now with his two hands gone she's going to leave him for good.

Sang kil still did not understand how it happened or what led to the disaster.

" Are you saying you don't know who was behind this?" He asked the man in his front loudly.

" We are still trying to find out boss, we already investigated the area he was found but we couldn't find anything. We don't know if he has enemies we don't know about"

" find out who he was with on that day and where? Look for any sort of clue!! Get back to me as soon as possible! I won't take nothing for an answer!"

" Yes boss"

The man left leaving Sang kil in by himself, in anger he sent all the things on the office table crashing to the floor.

He slumped back into the chair and roughly undo his shirt, cutting a button from the impact.

He's going to pay who did that to his brother in thousand folds. He was thinking so hard to get any clue.

His cell phone rang interrupting his thought and without looking at the caller he answered the phone sounding aloof, he doesn't have the will to attend to any transaction. He was going to decline any deal that comes in but instead what the other person said caused him to shift uncomfortably in his seat.

Bringing the phone down, he was flabbergasted, the news he just heard had caused his anxiety to multiply.

This particular contract was beginning to give him a tough time, his men have been failing continuously in getting down this particular deal.

He knew he was in for something bigger the moment he accepted the deal but this is his business and he must do whatever the deal says.

He remembered how his phone rang that day and how worried he had been after he accepted the contract.

"Hello, am I speaking with Sang Kil?" an unknown voice resounded into the phone.

" Yes? Who is this?" He answered back lazily sitting on his office chair.

" You don't need to know who this is but I have a deal that can change your falling business in seconds"

" What do you mean? Just go straight to the point." He was becoming impatient with the call.

" It's a simple deal. I need the head of a certain person" the other person on the phone was not as impatient as him. He sounded calm and confident.

" So how will the head of this person change my business from crumbling and who is this person?" he implored.

" Because it's not just anyone, he's someone important and feared. I'll go straight to the point, I need you to destroy JEON JUNGKOOK and you will be paid handsomely for it. Not only that but you will become one of our associates."

" What the fuck! Are you fucking kidding me? Do you think Jeon Jungkook is an easy catch? Why not do it yourself or get someone else to do it." He was shocked to hear that and also hesitant because in as much as that was an eye-catching offer, it's not easy to take on Jeon Jungkook.

" Then would you stay there and watch another person take on the $5,000,000 deal?"

The money was more than enough to bring his business back to life but he was tempted to negotiate more. Deep down he knows the other person knows of his competence if not they wouldn't have called to strike the deal beforehand.

"Don't you think $5,000,000 is too poor to take down the mighty Jeon? I might lose my life and I need more men that would do the job" The deal was very tempting.

The other person laughed loudly into the phone causing him to scrunch his nose in annoyance.

" Getting greedy? How much do you want then?"

" $10,000,000 or nothing" he grinned greedily to himself.

It was silent on the other side for some seconds before they spoke up again.

" fine, Ten million dollars it is then but make sure the job gets done."

A few minutes later and he received an alert of full payment and that was it, he had struck a deal with the demon to take down Lucifer himself.

This was not how he wanted everything to play out, he cracked his brains out planning his moves to get the job done.

But every time they tried, he kept having his men's dead bodies back.

Now he's stuck in between, he has constantly been questioned on why Lucifer was still on loose and it's starting to get on his nerves.

Using his hand to wipe out beads of sweat on his forehead, he reached out for the telephone on the table, dialed some numbers, and waited till the other person answered.

After a few rings the other person picked up but instead of speaking Sang Kil felt his hand holding onto the telephone shaking slightly.  Ignoring the shaky hands he went ahead to speak with the receiver at the other end.

" This job is getting harder by the day, my men's dead bodies keep getting sent back to me. The raid on the warehouse failed too and the men we bought from his side have been caught alongside my men."  His hands were getting weaker from holding the telephone. With one hand, he reached under his table drawer, rumbling through it as he brought out a container.

" What do you want me to do? If you can't do your job that means you're incompetent" The other person asserted.

Sang Kil's temperature was suddenly high and his body shaky, flipping the small bottle cover off, he measure the pills in his palm and swallowed it all.

Controlling his breath from growing higher, he rested his head on the seat shutting his eyes.

" Look I didn't call you to throw words at me, if it were so easy, why didn't you take on him yourself?... Listen this is not the time to blame anyone, I need more resources" He said as he started feeling normal again.

" This is not the first time you've asked for resources, you've ended up failing every single time. What makes you think I'll send more resources?"

" You will because we do not have any more choices right now. Jungkook must have caught on I'm behind all of this and he might come after me soon." Sang kil knows it's going to happen real soon and he has to act fast.

" Then deal with it, you were paid for this job and until it's done don't try to reach me" 

The line disconnected before Sang Kil could say something, feeling helpless and angry he flung the telephone to the floor crashing it.

He was frustrated beyond words, he regretted taking on the job. Even getting everything he had desired and doing well in the business, this one job has cost him more than he received and now he's been on edge.

Sang Kil paced around his office restlessly, thinking about what to do next. He knows it's just a matter of time until Jungkook comes after him, he has woken a sleeping lion.

His office door flung open as the man from before walked in. Sang Kil looked at him demanding answers with his eyes.

"We found who your brother was with that night, they were at Euphoric Nights together."

" Euphoric Nights?" Sang Kil asked and the other nodded.

"Where is the girl? Bring her to me now"

" yes sir"

The man disappeared through the door to do as his boss has commanded.

Sang Kil was not surprised his brother went to the club with some girl but he does not understand what must have led to misfortune.

Something was wrong and he will wait until he meets the lady he was with.

An hour later he was informed that the girl has been brought over and he left his office to where the girl was kept.

He entered the room and saw the girl, he was relieved she wasn't a minor but right now he cared less. He walked closer to the girl who was sitting quietly with obvious fear in her eyes.

Her breath hitched a little when she saw him coming nearer and she dropped her head not meeting his gaze.

Sang Kil saw she was scared and he thought it would be easier to get words out of her.

" Look at me" he commanded her not caring how deep his voice came out. She looked up at him and met his gaze. He glared at her as she was staring at him with a scowl on her face.

" You were with Jae-Bung in a club two weeks ago, what happened?"

The girl was surprised she was brought there because of Jae-Bung. That dickhead left her on that night to chase after some sexy chick.

He didn't even pay for her services, instead, he threatened her.

" You mean that dickhead?" She asked but she swallowed hard after she saw the look on Sang Kil's face.

" Well, we had been to a club together but he left me for another chick. So I've not seen him since then" She cleared with hints of pain in her voice.

Sang kil observed her to know if she was telling the truth. He knows his brother is nothing to write home about.

" Are you aware he's hospitalized right now with amputated hands? He asked as he saw the girl raise her eyebrows in shock.

She's not aware.

" What do you mean? He was fine the last time I saw him, although I was mad at him for not paying for my services before running off to another girl, that was it nothing else happened" She explained.

" Are you sure nothing else happened? Maybe you should try and remember if there was something else, the girl he ran off to or just anything" He tried to make her remember anything at all.

The girl tried to remember what else happened that night, sure she had become drunk but not wasted. And then it dawned on her that she has taken a picture of Jae-Bung and the girl, so she could blackmail him.

Again she remembered some hot guy had beaten him up for hitting on that same girl, she just couldn't remember his face but she knew the guy was cute from his side profile.

She dipped her hand in her bag to fetch her phone and started scrolling through her pictures trying to find the picture.

Sang Kil furrowed his brows when she showed her phone to his face, with Jae-Bung and some girl in it. Although his brother was clearly shown the girl was partly shown as Jae-Bung was covering half of her features with his body, making it hard to identify her.

" That was the girl he ran off to and I also remember he was beaten up by some guy too because he suddenly tried to strangle her. I don't know who the guy was to her but he seemed protective of her." She narrated what she saw that night.

It still doesn't make sense how the whole stuff played out, it's normal to get beaten in the club for hitting on the wrong girl. What he doesn't understand is why his hands were cut off.

" So, Do you think that girl was behind it? Or maybe you are because you might be angry he didn't pay you and you wanted to get back?"  Sang Kil accused.

" Do you know how many girls that asshole sleeps with on a daily? If you know, then do you think I would want to do something so stupid that might send me to my early grave or prison?"

" I don't know, maybe?"

" Haa, those hands are as worthless to me as that asshole. I wouldn't want to waste my future because of him. I was only with him because of the money and nothing more" she deadpanned

Sang Kil was tempted to send a hard slap across her soft face for talking that way to him but he wasn't in the mood, he has more pressing issues at hand.

He bent a little and roughly held her jaws, he made her look into his eyes which were filled with no sympathy.

" look here, if I ever find out you have a hand in this then I will put a bullet right into this open tap you called a mouth." He threatened her.

" Then how about you go look for the real culprit and leave me the fuck alone" She quipped not caring anymore, she has had enough of people threatening her because they held more power, and even if she looked weak from the outside, she was never a weak girl.

Sang Kil was taken aback by her sudden confidence, she looked weak and pitiful when he walked in. How did she go from that to this?

He could kill her right now and dispose of her corpse without no attention but he works strictly on contract. He only kills when necessary.

" I could kill you right now" He tried to scare her a little.

" Then go ahead and see how your whole world crumbles before tomorrow"

Those words made Sang Kil flinch for some reason, this girl may not be behind what happened to Jae-Bung but she's indeed something else.

Not wanting to continue with her further he glared at her one more time and instruct his men to let her go. He saw the scowl on her face after he said that but he does not have the zeal to deal with her.

<<<<<~~~~<<<<

After Suzy was dropped off by Sang kil men, she quickly picked herself up from the ground and looked to see if they have gone far. Her blindfold was removed inside the car, which made her squint her eyes trying to adjust to the sunlight.

Seeing the car was no longer in sight, she smacked her head and mouth slightly.

" Aish Suzy, this mouth of yours will get you killed someday! I hope he wouldn't take me seriously" She said to herself as she started walking to hail a taxi.

Suzy was worried Sang Kil might come after her and even if she seemed brave earlier, it was all talk. She was just a girl who struggles to make a living, and with all the hardship and bullying she faced growing up, she has grown to use her tongue properly to get herself out of situations like this.

Even though she was surprised to hear of Jae-Bung's misfortune, she didn't feel bad for the bastard because he had treated her like some piece of trash.

Maybe that was why he got what he truly deserved.

She had dealt with many assholes who only knows how to mistreat a woman. If not for survival she would not have to pretend and be in the arms of that dirty crimp Jae-Bung.

Things she does for the dough.

She waited a while for a taxi but there was none, so she had no choice but to walk to the nearest bus station. On her way she stopped by a convenience store to get some things she needed.

Making her way into the store, she stopped to look at the mirror glass right before the door. She straightened her hair and made some funny faces before going in.

After getting the things she needed she happily jumped her way to the bus station bumping into random persons on the way.

She's a happy and carefree girl.

Hardship had only made her tough but she always find ways to make out her happiness.
