Chapter 56: Chapter 55: Wrong
Zein’s Point of View
I was always behind him. He was always the one protecting . It was amazing how, with just a knife and his agility, he could defeat ard n.
I shut my eyes when I felt blood flowing from my arm again. Almost my entire arm was now soaked in blood.
I could feel myself growing weaker from how much blood I’d lost. Supremo didn’t notice, it was because he was busy fighting.
Tears welled in my eyes as I watched him, gasping for breath. Sweat poured down his face, and his clothes and hands were almost completely stained with blood.
My mouth fell open when I felt my legs give way, like I was about to collapse.
No. I can’t be defeated by this damn weakness. I don’t want him to see
as weak. I don’t want him to worry.
I quickly hid my left arm behind
as he walked closer.
I couldn’t stop myself from smiling at his smile. He took my hand again.
"Let’s go..."
Suddenly, I rembered my dreams. So it was ... I was the girl holding his hand. Anxiety swallowed
whole as I recalled what happened next in those dreams, no. Please.
I had barely taken one step when my vision started to spin, until I felt myself collapse to the ground.
"Zei- shit!"
I gave a bitter smile when I saw the worry and shock in his eyes as he noticed the arm I could no longer hide.
It had turned dark, almost black, as if it was already running out of blood.
"Hold on..."
"Hey!" I stopped him when he was about to lift . "I can still walk... let’s rest for a bit first," I said.
"No... please. Darling, let m-"
"Ssshh..." I tried to sit up, and he helped . I rested my head on his shoulder while staring into the darkness.
My breathing grew faster, as if I were also running out of blood. I closed my eyes when my vision started spinning again.
"Darling..." I called him. "Sorry... sorry for everything," I said bitterly.
My fault was huge. I had made so many mistakes with him. We were hurt by a single mistake that was mine alone. He beca a victim of a wrong decision.
"You have nothing to be sorry for. I understand you..."
"Still... I’m sorry."
Silence swallowed us whole. I didn’t know whether to laugh, because these monts felt unbearably romantic, even while people were killing each other around us.
If we survive this trial, I’ll give this man everything he needs. I will give what he deserves.
I am willing to give every piece of
to complete him.
"Let’s go."
He helped
stand up. Resting, even briefly, helped a little, I could walk again, but Supremo’s grip on
tightened so much it felt like he had no intention of ever letting go.
I want to tie myself to you too. Without you, I am a ss, Supremo.
"I need to get you to the dical team."
I didn’t understand what he ant, or why he was talking about a dical team.
"D-Do I not know sothing?"
He turned to
and smiled. "I told you. I’m not nad Ace without one, darling," he said before winking at .
This man is truly mysterious. There are so many things I still don’t know about him. I don’t think I even know half of who he really is, but even so, I don’t need to know everything about him.
Once again, we were surrounded by ard n, but this ti, there were far too many of them.
I looked at Supremo, who was just grinning as he wiped the blood off his cheek. Seeing him smile like this sent a chill down my spine.
It seed like he was enjoying everything.
"T-There are too many of them. You can’t handle this."
"I can kill them all for you."
"S-Suprem-"
I gasped when he suddenly pulled
into a tight embrace. "Darling, give
a reason... I won’t let myself be killed," he whispered.
I had so many damn reasons, but-
"I love you..." I whispered.
"Damn it, I love you more... Now," he turned
to face him and held my cheek. "My Queen, can you close your eyes? I’ll take care of you," he murmured.
I nodded, but before I could even close my eyes, he pressed a kiss to my lips.
Please, don’t let them hurt you. Darling, please.

Nicky’s Point of View
Damn. I did not expect them to be this many. Fuck that bitch. She has so many n, it feels as if they never run out.
"Are you okay?"
I turned an irritated gaze toward Nazzer, who had been asking if I was fine, even though he was the one who had taken a bullet to the shoulder.
"I am," I replied coldly before firing at the three n advancing toward us.
I did not look back at Nazzer, knowing he was watching . What the hell is his problem?
Damn. His stare is making
uneasy. Why is he looking at
like that?
"Shit!" I quickly shot the man who was about to fire at Nazzer, who then smiled.
Annoyed, I strode toward him and punched him in the face. His lip bled from the blow, yet his smile did not fade.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!"
"Everything is wrong, but one thing is right... Damn. I love you."
I quickly averted my gaze, suddenly overco by an inexplicable feeling.
Shit. I hate this.
I moved away from him because I could not focus when he was close to .
My eyes fell on the shattered mirror, where my reflection appeared. My face and body were splattered with blood, yet one thing caught my attention.
I was smiling like a bitch. What the hell? Don’t tell
it’s because of that.
I aid my gun at the mirror, firing as it exploded and scattered shards in every direction.
I never expected this... I thought it was just normal. I always felt this way whenever I was with him. I thought it ant nothing, but damn it.
I think I’ve fallen in love with that bastard too.
I could only laugh as I recalled the tis he made it so hard for
to accept my offer.
The offer to beco the leader of the gang that would be ford, yes, the Black Blood Gang. I was the one who founded the Black Blood Gang at his command, but I knew I could not lead it, so I turned to Nazzer instead. This jerk.
I stood there dumbfounded when I realized that Nazzer was already in front of , grinning.
"You’ve been fooling
all this ti. You made
look like a fool. You hid important information from , things you should have told
long ago. I was hurt, but there’s nothing I can do. I love you; I can’t bring myself to be angry."
I aid my gun at his head, which only made him laugh. "I’m not the one behind th-"
"I know... She’s the one behind everything."
I lowered my gun, and in an instant he pulled
into an embrace. I struggled, but it was not enough to break free from him.
"Damn it! Let
go, jerk!"
"I won’t let you go... Bitch, you have to love . I don’t want to be the only one who feels this way."
I lost my strength and simply allowed him to hold . We stayed in that position for a minute before I heard a gunshot and saw Nazzer collapse onto the floor.
My hands trembled as I unleashed a series of bullets at a man. I emptied every last round into him. Fuck you.
I threw my empty gun far away, then rushed back to Nazzer, who was lying on the floor.
"Shit! Open your fucking eyes! Jerk!"
My body went weak when he did not respond or move at all.
"Nazzer Lumia! Open your eyes! Damn it! I hate you..." I felt a warm liquid at the corner of my eyes.
Shit.
"Nazzer... please, open your eyes... for ." My voice cracked as tears stread down my face. "You can’t just leave
alone after you stole my heart! Damn it! I love you! Op-"
"I love you too, bitch."
I was left speechless when he suddenly opened his eyes, accompanied by a blinding smile.
My fist rose toward his face, but he beat
to it. He swiftly pulled
closer and pressed his lips against mine.
My body went limp. I never thought I would feel that way about that damn word. I used to hate that feeling, but right now... I can’t believe I’m starting to like it.
Tears stread down my face as I closed my eyes and returned his kiss.
It was annoying to admit, but... I had fallen into the trap of love as well.
Zein’s Point of View
Shit.
"Stay there!" Supremo shouted as I was about to rush toward him.
He was exhausted and gasping for breath, yet the enemies kept increasing. He was fighting them off with nothing but a knife, while they were ard with guns. The advantage of long-range weapons, on top of the fact that Supremo was alone, was overwhelming.
"S-Supremo..."
I squeezed my eyes shut as they all charged at him at once. I trembled in fear. I did not want to open my eyes. I was afraid that sothing terrible might have happened.
My fists clenched tightly when I heard the rapid succession of gunshots. I kept my eyes closed, just as he had told
to.
Supremo is always there for . Will I always be like this, like a pathetic girl who can’t defend herself? Am I really that weak?
I have a promise.
Slowly, I opened my eyes when the surroundings finally grew quiet once more.
My lips trembled when I saw Supremo standing not far from . The moonlight was the only illumination, allowing
to see the glint of his smile.
Before I knew it, I was already running toward him. He laughed as I threw my arms around him.
"Damn. I’d love to hug you forever, but darling, your wound needs to be treated first."
I pulled away from the embrace just as he collapsed onto the ground. I froze where I stood as I watched him slowly sink down.
"Supremo!"
"H-Hey. I’m okay." He smiled at , but it was not enough to ease my worry, especially when I saw blood flowing from his left leg, where he had been shot.
Supremo is hurt.
I turned a furious glare toward the ard n who were once again surrounding us.
One of them shot Supremo.
"Z-Zei-"
"Shut up. Now. Close your eyes."
His jaw dropped at my words, and I saw the resistance in his eyes, resistance I answered with a smirk.
"Trust ."
"I trust you more than myself." He took my trembling hand and placed in it the knife he had given
before. "Damn it. Don’t let them hurt you." He said that before slowly closing his eyes.
An absent smile curved on my lips. The only things running through my mind were the promises I had made.
The fact that Supremo was hurt only fueled the fire of anger burning inside .
I will shed every drop of blood I have for you.
My grip tightened around the knife as my eyes swept over the guns aid at us.
"Who the hell shot him?"
I didn’t know whether to laugh at myself for still managing to ask that. I was losing control for the nth ti, but this ti... I would not stop myself anymore.
