9 I am here...!

"Hey Dayun! Shhh....It's okay. I am here". Ijin crouched down in front of the bob-haired girl who had beads of pearls filled in her big innocent eyes. Ijin hugged the girl in his embrace gently as she wept in silence. While at it he tore the holder tied around Dayun's wrist and noticed how red her skin has become because of its rigidity. His muscle tensed even more after seeing that.

"Hey, it's okay. Oppa is here." Ijin, in his most delicate and comfortable tone, whispered to his sister to assure her that everything was fine but the other one was too much scared to understand anything at the moment.

On their right, the blue eyed beautiful teenage girl had her eyes wide since the time Ijin, only a normal high schooler who had a slight mysterious background, killed an armed man without an ounce of hesitance. And the way he ended the burly man's life felt like he had a long experience in this field.

His eyes which fermented only a murderous intent seemed extremely firm and soft when they came across this certain short girl whome Ijin was hugging like a delicate doll that might break if he was to apply force.

What seemed like a peaceful eternity was only a brief minute before a foreign voice resonated inside the room, shaking both females, down to the core.

"A drop almost teared up after seeing you guys so cozily showing off your love." Yuna turned her head instantly toward the other corner of the room which was the darkest section of the compartment. Since the start, neither Yuna nor Dayun was aware that a person was with them all this time.

Dayun fearfully shivered under the shade of his big brother but for some reason, she wasn't terrified like before. She didn't know why but in the presence of Ijin she felt extremely safe. She never saw how the scratchy-faced man got defeated so instantly so there wasn't any way to know how Ijin made his way through all this and reached here in so short time, but for her, Ijin was that shade that covered her from every harsh ray.

"If you haven't opened your mouth then I might have considered sparing you today." Despite hearing such a frightening revelation of the presence of another entity inside the room, Ijin was serene as ever.

To be precise he wasn't aloof and calm as he sounded. He was furious after seeing how traumatic it has become for Dayun who just has overcome such painful bullying days. All his anger was brewing and by the time he spotted the man after entering inside, he knew that he found the source on which he could vent.

He released his breath as he didn't want to end it so easily and stood up, but not before whispering softly into the fragile girl's ear, " Close your eyes and dont try to peek." Dayun was confused but nevertheless, she nodded hesitantly before tightly shutting her eyes.

"Hoho! So you are the bastard who was killing my men by striking their back." Ijin chuckled as he faced the person in front of him. He was taller than Ijin with a lean stature perfect for handling combat weapons with a sleeveless waist over his upper body and commando pants tied around his torso flowing down his ankles. His face was uncovered with scratches and cut marks all over the place and a nasty grin lasted across his parted lips.

Surprisingly this specific man didn't have any firearm but only a dagger in his left hand, which he was playing joyfully without a care in the world. But only Ijin knew that from his posture any kind of frontal attack would backlash gruesomely.

"They weren't agile enough that's it." It wasn't any point in banter about who killed and how killed. The two figures only wanted one thing at the moment.

And that was to end the life of their opponent.

*Slick*.

With a swinging sound, the man threw his dagger in a straight sight just closing toward Ijin's left eye. The throw was so precise and swift that even a yelp wasn't able to leave Yuna's mouth.

But despite getting startled there was a smirk fixed on Ijin's thin lips. Ijin slanted his body slightly to the right and dodged the blade like it was a paper plane that was sent flying at him at a leisure speed.

"You know I have taken 38 down with that trick". After pulling the dagger with the metal string attached to the handle, the bald man stood and walked forward, showing his full appearance for the first time in the room.

" I bet those 38 must be on your mental level to get assaulted by such an attack." Ijin wasn't mocking but stated what he truly believed. It truly was surprising but in the end, was something a chunni would do.

"Haha! I like your humor. " As the man said he walked to his right positioning himself just some meters away from Ijin before another snicker left his mouth.

"But the question is...for how long?" Like it was agreed by both of them, the two figures left their spot and clashed just at the midpoint from their respective distance.

"I never saw you had that dangerous babe with you." The man remarked upon realizing what caught his blade in mid-air, was another piece of metal that was handled by the teenage boy.

Ijin didn't bother to reply and released the grip from his blade and caught it with his other hand near the baldy's abdomen.

*Ting*

However, instead of the blade interacting with the man's flesh, it got rivaled by the strong vest of the man which obstructed the swing like an undestroyable wall.

"Cheeky bastard!" With a grin, the baldy tightened his grip around the dagger and with a slight force pushed the tip toward the left eye of Ijin, which the latter easily blocked with his wrist working as leverage.

With a slight push, both of them made a gap before again engaging in battle. A frontal kick got directed from the older one which Ijin caught in his grip before landing his elbow just above the man's knee.

"AAH!" With a jerk, the baldy got free from Ijin clutches, or more like Ijin let him go intentionally.

"Fucking shit!!" The man felt a stinging pain around his knee cap and tendons which eventually made his left leg a little less mobile.

In a fit of irritation, the man gripped his dagger in the reverse hold before slashing it from below to up. Ijin was a little startled but he dodged his chin which would have split apart if he had delayed his movement even for a second.

"Gotcha!" It seems the man was waiting for Ijin to lose his grounding as the blade he sliced upward never came back within his hand as it was sent flying with the momentum before the man raised his knee with his full strength and struck it toward the belly of his opponent.

"Hmmm?" But instead of hitting what he expected, a big hand was spread across his whole knee cap with a rigidity that no normal human could possess.

"Fuck!!" The man knew he had to take his leg back from the Ijin's grip but Ijin was holding the man like it was being stuck like an unbreakable bond.

Ijin didn't let the man struggle for long before he held the unguarded nape and with Ijin's back of the foot hitting the heel bone of the man in his grip, he made the baldy fall on his back in a real swift manner.

*THAK*

Like a bone-cracking sound, the baldy's back of the head hit the ground with the extra weight of Ijin's hand over his neck working as additional pressure. Ijin didn't let the man to even fight back before he landed his knees on either arm of the man with his whole body restrained under Ijin's hold.

Ijin took a hold of the man's entire neck before he started tightening his grip, making the older one choke.

"Khak!" In a fit of helplessness and panic, the man raised both of his legs to choke Ijin between them, but the latter just took the knife lying beside him and struck it flawlessly near the thigh muscle. Blood gushed out with the blade leaving the flesh before a thunderous shout left the pinned man's throat.

"AAAAAARRGH!!!" Ijin without feeling much of a change started choking even harder than before so the shout stops and the man doesn't scare Dayun.

"Stop shouting and die already!" And as expected the man stopped his yelling as he felt the lack of oxygen and restriction of his organs which was making his face red and throwing his body into a state of utter panic.

Despite the changing color of the baldy's face, Ijin's grip never altered and he just continued choking the man until his death.

But a voice finally made his grip lose momentarily.

"Oppa!!" Dayun's low shout resonate in the room before Ijin turned his head toward her with wide eyes. For a moment he forgot where he was and what actions he was undertaking in front of his innocent sister.

Dayun's teary clouded eyes were screaming in worry and plead. The plead which Ijin knew perfectly even though he only has spent less than 10 days with her.

A sigh released from his dry lips before he turned toward the breathless man who was on the last edge of his life and was struggling with his all might to grasp even an ounce of air.

Ijin shook his head and let his grip completely fall from the nape of the man before standing up.

*cough*cough*

The man coughed like a dog caught a bone in his throat while he tried to intake as much air as he could in one go. Ijin didn't bother with him before he noticed someone approaching the compartment at a high pace.

A raven-haired young man who had a couple of bruises and torn clothing hanging around his torso entered the room while running his eyes and not so long after settling it on a specific person inside the room before a sigh of relief escaped in between his ragged breathing.

Ijin walked toward Dayun before he instructed her to climb on his back which the latter one followed obediently albeit a little shy. Without waiting for any kind of talk Ijin walked toward the entrance before a voice reached his senses.

"How did you find this place before us." From the whisper beside the speaker, it was clear that Yuna was annoyed with Sukjoo asking this question at the moment.

Ijin halted his feet and in a voice that could pierce one's soul echoed in the room further shaking the two people standing just some meter before the pair of siblings.

"Are you expecting me to answer after all this?" A deep silence befell inside the room before Sukjoo replied in a much calmer tone.

"No. I'm sorry."

_____________....____________

On a dark street, where cool sea breezes were flowing like a gentle caress, walked two people. These two were Dayun and Ijin.

After leaving the port site none of them said a single word and just moved forward. Dayun was still on Ijin's back even though she was physically fine. She didn't mind at the time he carried her but now when they were alone she became really embarrassed.

"O-Oppa...I can walk." Her voice was like a buzz that swayed away with the winds like it never was uttered but the highly sensitive soldier heard it clearly.

"It's not that far and we will get a cab after crossing the street. So until then stay where you are." His voice was calm and low pitched which didn't hurt to hear but there was a tinge of irritation in his voice which Dayun pricked in an instant.

"Oppa are you...are you angry with me?" Ijin momentarily halted his steps before continuing again as a sigh left his mouth.

"No not at you. Just annoyed with me a little. Anyway, they didn't hurt you right?" Ijin tried to hide how frustrated he was upon leaving Dayun, even though he knew this incident might happen. Dayun also realize that something was bothering her oppa but she didn't dare to pry on it more than necessary.

"Yes, I am totally fine oppa. And I dont think it's necessary to go to the hospital too.." Ijin paused instantly as turned his eyes toward his back glaring venomous daggers at his cute little sister who was behaving a little stubborn at the moment. Even though his eyes weren't able to meet the other pair, Dayun shivered down the core as she knew what Ijin meant with that look.

Dayun started sweating bullets before she covered her mistake," Well who knows what they might have injected in me, so a little check-up won't hurt hahaha.." Her fake laughs and cute antics formed a smile on Ijin's face before he started walking again.

The importance of those he calls family now was to an extent which even he doesn't had realized yet. Even though his responsibility would increase in the coming days and he might not be able to go through what was coming in the future, but he was sure until he have someone to return to, he would never let his feet falter before achieving his goal.
