Kyunghee's head snapped up when Yongchul's voice sounded right next to her.
A triumphant smirk spread across the man's features while the pounding in her ears grew louder. Then his eyes narrowed into slits and he reached out for her. Instinctively Kyunghee let out a gasp and stumbled back into the corner to avoid him. At the same time, WooSuk swiftly inserted himself in between Yongchul and Kyunghee. He raised a kick to Yongchul's chest causing the older man to stumble and fall back into his men's arms, groaning from the unexpected attack.
Her eyes danced in terror, realizing what Woosuk had started with that specific blow. Kyunghee's gut instincts told her that this was only going to get worse from here, so she took hold of WooSuk's elbow.
