I'm still alive

The quieter darkness breaks than silence. I breathed out a harsh breath and looked into space for a long time. The recoil that came with the sound of a sudden bursts of silence. And gunfire took life without compromise.

The price is just a little tremor. I looked back, feeling this calm tremor in my hands. The children were looking at the dead man in surprise.

Looking down, Chae-yeon clasped my pants and hugged me in her legs. I swallowed my saliva and looked at the children again. Then slowly turned his sights and said, looking at the girl with her mouth open and dazed.

'I'm getting out of here with Chae-yeon.'

The girl looks at me with her mouth wide open for a moment and then closes her mouth. And look at me with desperate eyes. As soon as I spoke out, I could feel something holding me tight on the bridge. Looking down at the place, Chae-yeon looked up at me as if she was saying, "You know?" to have no time There was no time to persuade. I said with a deep sigh.

'......take care of the kids and follow them.'

The girl burst into small tears as soon as she heard me. It was a crying child. As soon as the girl burst into tears, the children began to cry along what was so sad. I didn't want to break that feeling, but now I'm not in a situation to cry.

That's why he said, "Stop with a stern face."

The children swallow their tears and look at me with bright eyes. I held my gun tight and got up slowly. I tried to hug Chae-yeon, but Chae-yeon looks up at me with a firm face, perhaps saying, "I can run!"

Even in an urgent situation, I didn't forget to stroke Chae-yeon's head. And with a half-jumping pace, he quickly began to descend the mountain. I could hear the sound of a dagger and running after me. Chae-yeon holds my hand tightly and follows me hard.

The veterinary building was quick. As soon as I arrived at the building, I glanced close to it and looked around. The children were copying my behavior as I looked behind them. No one was left behind to see if the girl was taking good care of her.

I glanced against the wall and looked at the gym building opposite. Where I killed the man, a lot of people gathered and held loud ringing radios and I could see men in military uniforms running fast.

I bit my lips hard. It's impossible to pass through here. The moment I was at my wit's end, I heard a voice next to me.

Where are we going?'

Turning her head, the girl came up to my side and asked. I was a little annoyed by the urgent situation. And I thought what would you do if you knew, so I answered in a tone of voice that I was a little bit.

Barrage near the playground.

And then I looked at their trends again. Then the girl patted me on the shoulder again and said,

'I know the other way.'

I felt like I found another breakthrough in the girl's words. However, she bit her lips tightly because of her unbelief.

'Are you sure?

Then the girl said, nodding her head with a stiff face.

'I'm sure.'

I looked at the child for a long time and soon nodded. Then the girl said, pointing to the back of the building on the side.

'There's a back road.'

I looked in the direction the child pointed at. Eventually, I slowly got up from my seat because I thought there was no other way. Then he leaned down toward the back road and walked fast. As I stepped into the back street, the girl guided me, pointing in the direction.

Behind the building were small roads close to the mountain. We quickly began to walk past the obstacle-free place. Occasionally, the main road between the buildings saw soldiers running around frantically.

It was narrow and dark, but clearly a safe road was right. There was no sign of popularity, and you only have to be careful of the windows that emit light sometimes. I couldn't run fast because I was afraid that I might hear footsteps, but I walked fast, paying attention to the footsteps, and I found the speed of moving on the main road.

It was in the opposite direction from where I came from, but the girl said again and again that this road was clear. There was no other way, so I decided to believe the child. And walked incessantly in the direction of the child. Did he walk for about 10 minutes? A sudden burst of gunfire brought us to a standstill. The children fell down with a little scream and I was startled and bent down.

Soon after, the gunshot began to sound long. I wasn't shooting at this place. But the shot from close range was clear. And at the thought of passing by my head, I asked in an urgent voice.

Is there a law school building nearby?'

The girl nodded small with a frightened face. And he looked at me, pointing in one direction. I bit my lips tightly in my nervousness. Then I remembered the radio I took from the man I killed earlier, so I hurriedly took it out of my pocket.

Then, turn on the power and turn the volume down carefully. The walkie-talkie briefly made a noise and soon began to ring noisily. However, I couldn't hear anything definite because the sound of the signal seemed to be weak and the pronunciation was crushed and the noise was heard.

After a while, even in the noise came a mixture of men's shouting and swearing. The urgent situation was evident. And the sound of gunfire began to grow louder and more resonant.

Something must have happened. I swallowed my saliva and grabbed my gun tightly. Then hurriedly looked around and breathed heavily. There is a law school building nearby. And gunshots are ringing in that direction.

Everyone can guess. Something happened on the part of the elderly. I bit my lips and rolled my eyes out of nervousness. The children looked at me with faces that they didn't know the word, and Chae-yeon sticks to my leg.

My mind was so heavy before the conflicting reason and instinct that I dropped my head. When I dropped my head, Chae-yeon was staring up at me, clinging to my leg. Even in a tough situation, Chae-yeon smiles when she makes eye contact with me. He just seemed happy to be with me.

Looking back, the girl was soothing the children and the children gathered dependent on each other. They rubbed their skin in the cold weather and comforted each other. A child who was about to become an elementary school student was hugging a child smaller than himself and soothing him carefully.

When I saw the children, something undefined leaked out. The feeling was slowly whipping and pressing my instincts. I feel very pathetic about myself. When I hit my hand from the gun, a lot of sweat comes out of my hand.

Wiping the sweat off my pants, I exhaled hot breath. Then slowly squatted on the floor and made eye contact with Chae-yeon.

'Chae-yeon, there's someone who helped you get here. And I have to save Chae-yeon......some have told me. ‘

I tried to persuade her, but as soon as she heard me, Chae-yeon buried her face in my arms and hugged her tightly.

Warm warmth is transmitted to my body. I carefully raised my hand and stroked my head. We shared the little warmth with each other. Leaving behind joy, joy, sorrow and longing, Chae-yeon slowly fell from my body. And he looked at me with his sturdy eyes.

Why are you staying still? Let's go!

Chae-yeon was clearly saying that. Even though I didn't say anything else, Chae-yeon was telling me it was okay to go. The girl, who was watching us from afar, slowly came here. And she held Chae-yeon in her arms and told me.

'People don't even know there's a path. Because if you hide in that ditch over there, you won't find us......... I mean...….'

That's all the girl said and shut up. I hesitated for so long. Looking at the figure, Chae-yeon carefully extended her ring finger to me.

I stared blankly at the ring finger that was sticking out before me. Then carefully put up the ring finger and held it tightly. I felt like a child, too. I feel warm warmth through my fingers and it spreads slowly through my body. We hung a warm lock on each other.

A vow never to fall again.

'I'll be right back.'

I said so in a quivering voice. Chae-yeon nods her head small. And clearly he answered with open mouth.

'Yes!'

When Chae-yeon spoke, the girl looked down at her with surprised eyes. I was also a little surprised by Chae-yeon's voice after a long time, but I felt my tension relieved. And slowly got up from his seat.

As soon as I got up from my seat, the girl led the children and Chae-yeon to the ditch on the side. And hide the children there. I can't even see a ditch there because of the shadows and darkness. I make eye contact with the girl who finally enters the ditch with a small reassurance.

'Don't worry.'

The girl said so. I nod my head small. And finally, the girl disappears and the road is shrouded in silence. I grab the gun and pull out the house of the ammunition dump. Then check the bullet and put it back in.

When you pull the trigger, the bullet knocks coldly. The cold sound clasped the gun unknowingly. Still the shots are heard. The dull sound of gunfire in the middle of each gunshot was evident to be the shotgun of an old man.

I aim the gun ahead and carefully run to the law school building. A cold sweat runs out and the throat dries over and over. Gunfire gnaws at my sensitive nerves and brings out fear.

The sparkles, the smell of gunpowder and the sharp gunfire are heard from the gun. A lot of thoughts passed through my head as I ran. Stupid bastard! Shouldn't we just go away? It's easier for you to run away because your eyes are on the elderly.

So you always make stupid choices. You're mistaken. Go back to the single room! Ah, ah. Ah! I screamed and shook my head at the whisper. Absolutely not!

As I ran to the side of the law school building, I saw soldiers firing guns from the side of the building. Their guns were pointing at the front gate of the law school building. Turning his eyes to the door, the old man was avoiding himself, responding painfully with a shotgun.

The concrete is mangled with the bullets and the bullets get even hotter. Then the number of elderly people responding gradually decreases.

I picked up the gun with trembling hands. Then he put the heads of the soldiers firing shots between the target intervals. My hands are shaking, or my body is shaking. The tremor makes the aim tremble mercilessly.

I don't want to run away anymore. I don't want to escape now. I've always lived running away! I lived in that small room by myself. I'm never going back there again.

Pull the trigger, you coward! I'll never lose it again.

When I close my eyes tightly, I feel suffocated and suffocated. Now the aiming span was unshakable. I pulled the trigger without hesitation.
