*Rebel POV*

“Get out my way pipsqueak.” I pushed Hoseok to the side and kept walking out the building.

“Wait! Hye Won, let us come with you to save Lily. Yuta might try to hurt you.“ Hoseok called out from behind me with a concerned voice.

“I don't need your help and I certainly don't want it!!” I kept walking forward, ignoring his words of protest.

Lily is my daughter, I promised I would protect her. I need to do this by myself.

I ran across the parking lot to where my car was parked as I pulled out my phone and dialed Yuta.

It rang for a few seconds then it stopped. 

This is bad, he knows it's me. If he hung up then maybe he's more hostile than I thought he was.

My phone ringed as I got in my car and I hastily grabbed it thinking it was Yuta but froze when I saw it was Namjoon calling.

Should I answer?

No. He's just going to say that I'm not good or strong enough to go by myself.

I grabbed the keys but cried out when a burning pain shot through my wrist.

That bitch ass motherfucker Namjoon.

“Fuck!!” I slammed my forehead on the steering wheel and bit my lip.

I don't want to cry, I'm stronger than this…and I'm strong enough to save my own daughter without the help of a man.

I ignored the pain in my hand and turned the car on, pulling out the parking lot as quickly as I could.

It was okay working with them before but I need to wake up and face reality. 

I'm alone in this world.

And even though Namjoon tried to save me and wants to help me, he's just gonna end up hurting me,  and we could never be anything…he would never want to be with a girl that has a child.

Someone else's child.

I squeezed the wheel tighter as I pressed the accelerator. I was going dangerously fast but I didn't have any time to spare.

The shrill ring of my phone startled me and I looked to see Taeil calling me.

I wanted to pick up, but me and Taeyong hurt him so much and he probably just wants me to come back anyway.

Before I even noticed where I was the doll factory was right in front of me,  and I just stepped on the brakes in time to avoid smashing into it.

“Please be safe Lily. God, please don't take her from me.” I slammed the door and ran into the building.  My heart was beating fast in my chest and I was already sweating from fear and worry.

She's going to be okay.

I promised to myself before she was born that I would protect her and I'm damn well going to keep that promise.

Soon, the big metal doors that separated  the hallway from the room where I knew she was came in to  view and without changing my fast pace at all I ran even faster and kicked the doors open with all my force.

The lock holding them snapped loudly and they flung open exposing the whole entirety of the room.

And Lily.

Tied to a chair with tears streaming down her face.

“Lily!! Are you okay angel!?” I rushed forward but Yuta walked in the room, gun in hand, and raised a threatening eyebrow to me,  stopping me instantly.

“Please…Don't hurt her. “ I stared into his eyes but all I saw was coldness and anger staring back at me.

“Oh, like you hurt So Hye? That woman saved me in when I was going to be killed by a corrupt gang. And you…you tortured and killed her. You know that you can't ask for mercy." He walked closer to Lily, spinning the gun around his fingers.

As soon as he started approaching her I slowly wrapped my fingers around the pistol in my back pocket and held it tightly.

“I’m sorry Yuta, I’m so, so sorry,  but So Hye was hurting good people… she made you guys kill Daisy!!” I shook my head as his eyes flickered in pain.

“Daisy betrayed us, just like you did. So now, payment must be made.” He pointed the gun to her head and that was when I pulled out mine and aimed it at his own head.

“Get away from her. Now. “ I tried to sound strong.  I tried to sound intimidating…but I was so scared and my hands were shaking in fear and pain that I knew I wasn't going to be able to pull the trigger without risk of hitting Lily.

Yuta laughed at me and then pointed the gun straight at me.

“What are you really going to do? You're scared Hye Won. I mean, look at how your hands are shaking!! You're not going to be pulling that trigger.” He shook his head and pointed the gun to my stomach.

“Since you're so eager to get some action, I’m going to shoot you first, and as you're bleeding out you can helplessly watch your little girl die. That should avenge So Hye. “ His lips curled up as he put pressure on the trigger.

“Mum!? What's happening!?” Lily’s eyes were wide with fear as she looked at Yuta pointing the gun at me.

My heart started to beat so fast I thought it would explode.

I couldn't do anything, Lily is going to see her own mother shot in front of her.

He pulled the trigger and the gun went off with a terrifyingly loud bang.

But I didn't get hit.

All I heard was Lily screaming and soon I was screaming as dark red blood gushed out Namjoon’s stomach and he fell on his knees.

He…took the bullet… for me?

“Wow, you need someone to save you?  You've gotten weak Rebel, too weak. “ Yuta scoffed in disbelief and pointed the gun straight to my head.

“Hye Won… move. “ Namjoon looked at me with furrowed eyebrows and motioned behind me.

I immediately jumped to the left and as soon as I did a deafening crack sounded through the air and a bullet whizzed past and ripped straight through Yuta’s head.

I turned around and saw Taehyung, all the way at the end of the hallway armed with a sniper. 

They saved me... 

“Mum!!” Lily started crying and tried to get out of the ropes tying her to the chair.

I started to run to her but I heard Namjoon groaning in pain and I looked back to see him holding his stomach in agony.

I looked at Lily then turned and ran down to Namjoon.

“Lily! It's okay angel, you're safe now.  I just need to save him first.“ I grabbed Namjoon's hands and pushed them out of the way.

The wound was deep,  I could tell that much just by seeing the incredible amount of blood seeping into his shirt.

“Just breath okay? Deep breaths,  everything is going to be fine.” I pulled his shirt up and saw how badly he was wounded.

“It's nothing. I’m fine. “ He said in between harsh breaths but I knew he definitely was not.

The bullet must be lodged in his stomach after it had torn straight through his abs.

His defined, impressive abs…Fuck! Focus Hye Won.

“I.. I need to stop… the bleeding.” I started to panic as fresh blood started pouring out the wound and Namjoon's breaths quickened.

Yes, I was trying to stop it with my hands but that wasn't enough.

Taehyung was running up,  but he was still far away.

Fuck this.

I grabbed the bottom of my shirt and pulled it up and over my head. I felt terrible since I only had bra on but I needed material to stop the blood flow.

I folded the shirt a few times and pressed it to the wound firmly. I felt it soaking up quickly but it was definitely slowing the blood.

“You look so fucking sexy right now.” Namjoon was staring at me intently and I started blushing immediately.

“You know, those beautiful eyebrows all bunched up in worry for me, your gorgeous hands covered in my blood as you rush to save me. Stunning.“ He smiled widely, showing the most adorable dimples I had ever seen in my entire life.

I was completely and utterly speechless.

He didn't even mention the fact that I had no shirt on.

“Hyung! Are you okay!?” Taehyung finally made it to us and kneeled beside me.

“We need to get him to a hospital, asap.” I shot Taehyung a worried look and he gave me a confused look when he saw my bra.

“Eyes off, pervert. She's mine.” Namjoon reached up and grabbed Taehyung's face,  turning it away from me.

My heart fluttered when he said that.

This man, was so respectful and good to me…he even ran in front of the bullet without any care for himself.

“Jin's coming, let's get him to the car.“ Hoseok said as he ran in and rushed to the other side of Namjoon.

“One, two, three!” The both picked him up and my heart broke a little when he groaned painfully.

It must really hurt.

And because of me.

“Mum?” I instantly jumped up when I heard lily and ran to her.

“I'm so sorry Lily, he was dying, I had to help him. ” I untied the ropes as quickly as I could then grabbed her and hugged her close.

“It's fine Mum, He literally got shot, I didn't expect you to leave him just so my arms could rest from the rope.” She smiled at me and I hugged her tighter.

“I love you so much Lily.” I kissed her head and stood up.

“I love you too mum.” She smiled back but that soon stopped when she saw my chest with just bra.

“You should put clothes on.” She snorted and tried to hold her laugh back.

“Yeah, yeah smart ass. Obviously.” I pointed my tongue out at her and she dropped her head and pretended to act hurt.

We started to walk out the room but Rose appeared in the path and blocked the way.

“You twoneed to come back with me.” She crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows.

“I need to go home, little girl. “ I raised my eyebrows and stepped to the side but she also moved in front of m

“Okay wow, Um, listen here newbie.  I am not a little girl, and I'm not going to tell Namjoon,  but having sex one time in your whole life and having a child from that encounter doesn't make you a woman. So if anyone's the ‘little girl’...it's you, I've had my fair share and taste of men  Little. Girl.” She smiled annoyingly and motioned toward the car park.

“Fine. “ Her words pissed me off and as much as I was wanted to go home I couldn't because there is no way I'm going to fight with someone in front of lily.

I need to protect her from as much as I can.

I walked out of the building with her and as we did Jin drove by with Namjoon and Hoseok in the back.

He looked pale. Very pale. His breathing was also a little too fast for comfort.

I couldn't stop myself from worrying about him.  I want him to live and survive this so much.

No…

I need him to.

Our story can't end like this...

I don't want it to.
