The kids at school have moved to a safe place, but Woo-yeon was still inside the school building.
The place where the bomb exploded was just 500m away from the school.
Her hands trembled, and her heart pounded as if it would burst at any moment.
Yet, she gritted her teeth.
Kwaang, another sound of something exploding. At this point, it seemed like they were deliberately targeting the school for a precise strike.
Anger rose at the selfishness of adults who exposed the weakest and most vulnerable to danger.
“Hoo.”
The journalist reported to have died instantly from a gunshot wound was named Emma, which the UK reporting team heard as soon as they arrived at the school.
Emma, who was closest to Woo-yeon here, always kind and affectionate, even shyly showed me a picture of her boyfriend getting married next month.
It was a tragedy.
Although it was a reporting mission where they could encounter such dangerous situations from the beginning, it seemed like today was not in Emma’s plans, no matter how much one thought about it.
To have a bullet in the heart and close her eyes forever, leaving behind a loved one.
Truly, that wouldn’t have been in her plans. Thinking about it again, waves of sadness welled up.
“Anchor Yoon, let’s stop now. It’s too dangerous.”
“I’ll just find Nadia.”
“Weren’t you with the kids earlier? I searched thoroughly, but there’s been no sign of her.”
Woo-yeon firmly nodded at PD Park.
“No, she definitely wasn’t there. She must still be somewhere in the school.”
Even in this desperate situation that felt urgent, Woo-yeon tried her best not to forget her composure.
Even if she couldn’t save the world, she wanted to protect the dream of her young sister Nadia, who wanted to save at least one person.
That was why Woo-yeon was so determined.
Journalist Yeom and Senior Kang, who climbed onto the reporting vehicle through the broken window, gestured urgently to come out quickly.
It meant that soon all the staff on-site would evacuate, and it was also a warning that if they didn’t do it now, they might miss the opportunity.
Woo-yeon turned her head towards PD Park.
“PD-nim, please go first. I’ll definitely find Nadia and bring her out within 5 minutes.”
“In 5 minutes. Don’t forget.”
“Yes.”
Woo-yeon tightly tied her sneaker laces. Just like in the past when she wore her school uniform every day and spent countless hours alone, she believed that everything would pass if she only had the will.
Nothing extraordinary will happen. Today will also end safely. I can protect myself.
So, let’s be careful, Yoon Woo-yeon!
Encouraging herself, she ran with all her strength, as promised to PD Park, as the 5-minute deadline approached. Her voice searching for Nadia sounded more anxious.
The booming noises around felt closer as time passed. Due to that tremendous roar, it seemed like Nadia couldn’t hear her voice properly.
Yet, she couldn’t give up.
At this moment, Woo-yeon couldn’t understand why Cha Tae-kyung’s face kept popping up instead of Nadia’s, but she couldn’t stop.
“Nadia! Nadia! Nadia…”
Woo-yeon discovered Nadia crouching under a table at the end of the second floor.
“Nadia.”
Turning Nadia’s trembling shoulders, she finally looked up at Woo-yeon.
The fundamental fear of death, despair of not being able to protect her sister, and the silent sobbing of Nadia, who embraced the unhappiness that wouldn’t change even after tomorrow passed, all collapsed.
Thinking about how familiar this must have been for this young girl, who had lost her father, lost her mother, and lived with vivid memories, tears welled up in sympathy.
“Let’s go. I’ll safely take you out, sister.”
Woo-yeon hugged the fallen Nadia and lifted her with all her strength. Through the broken window, a pungent smell and smoke rushed in all at once.
“Anchor Yoon! Come out quickly!”
Outside, amid the screams, Park PD’s faint voice mixed in. Descending the stairs from the second floor and passing through the first-floor building, another loud noise occurred.
It was an explosive sound so tremendous that the ears became stuffy.
At first, she thought it was just dust flying around. But that was really Woo-yeon’s misconception.
A small bomb made from a drum barrel fallen on the school playground in front of the building created fragments mixed with various impurities, falling like rain over Woo-yeon’s head.
“Ugh.”
No way out was visible. The surroundings darkened.
The appearance of Reporter Yeom, who was shouting to come out quickly a moment ago, Senior Kang, and PD Park’s faces couldn’t be recognized.
Her whole body staggered, and everything seemed to blur as if the ground had collapsed in an instant.
She was scared.
Am I going to die like this? What barely held her eyes from closing tightly was Nadia’s body temperature in her hands.
And at this moment that could be the last of her life, a miraculous dawn came from a man.
Through the brilliant sunlight piercing through the darkness, Tae-kyung’s presence felt like a fantasy.
It was confusing. Whether this place was hell or he was an angel.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
