Nikki rolls her eyes and walks in after jo with her arms crossed once they got inside their room she slides off her heels which were dreadfully painful and flopped onto the couch with her arms wrapped around her
Jo watches her for a moment, then strides into his room, tossing off his clothes and changing to his going out clothes.
More accurately, his fighting clothes.
"I'll be back before midnight, dear." he murmurs.

Nikki pokes her head up noticing his clothes
"Where are you going? It's late just stay here." Her tone was whinier than she meant to but she didn't care she didn't want him to come back with wounds she didn't want him to fight period
A bitter, slightly pained smile.
"Out. I'll come back in one piece. If you're asleep, I'll do my best not to wake you." he replies softly, pulling on his stomping boots and stepping out the door.

Nikki pouted as he walked out the door she curled up in a tighter ball on the couch and staring at the door as soon as it closed
Hours later, he returns, smelling of dirt, alcohol and body odor.
2 minutes before midnight, as a matter of fact.

Nikki was half asleep on the couch staring at a corner near the door she jumped a little when he walked inside and she looked at him her eyes struggling to focus
He doesn't seem to notice Nikki, simply tumbling into his bedroom and closing the door quietly.
He doesn't come back out.

Nikki sat up carefully and made her way over to jo's door and knocked on it "jo? Are you okay?"
The door swings open at Nikki's touch.
Jo was standing in front of the window, shirtless.
Bruises were visibly blooming on his skin, and there was spots of blood on him.

Nikki jerks a little as the door swings open and her eyes land on jo instantly she feels a chill run over her and she stepped inside "jo..i told you to stay here." She whined softly and she stepped closer to him
"단지. . . 물러나, 알았지? 더 이상 가까이 오지 마세요. 당신은보고 싶지 않아." Jo whispers, not turning to face Nikki.

"조…무슨 일이 있었는지 말해줘…" she whispered as she walked up to him and reaching her arm out to touch his shoulder
Jo jerks away from Nikki's touch.
"제발. . . 내 사랑. . . 내가 다치는 걸 보고 싶지 않다면 지금 당장 방에서 나가. . ." he murmurs.

"괜찮으면 좋겠어…" she spoke softly as she reached for him again
Jo lets her hand touch him, shivering.
"난 가끔 당신이 존나 싫어. . ." he whispers. He wasn't sure if he was kidding or not.

"조용히 하지마, 이제 뒤돌아봐." She said softly and her hand rested gently on Jo's shoulder
(Babe what does that even mean 🤣 "don't be quiet, look back now")

(I-well okay then im sure i didn't lol she said "no you don't now shut up and turn around.")
(Lol got it)

(Good lol)
Jo hesitantly starts to turn.
The bruising was much worse on his chest and face.
And part of where the blood was from became clear: gunshot wounds, to his stomach.
"보다? 나는 당신이 그것을 보고 싶지 않을 것이라고 말했다." he says with a bitter smile.

Nikki shuddered when he turned but composed herself "honey, i-i can't fix this i don't have the supplies.."
Jo sighs.
"I know that. Just get me some tweezers, and a fuck ton of bandages. And cover your ears." he sighs, before pausing.
"And get my something wooden or metal to bite down on." he adds.

"No, Jo I'm skilled enough to do that, i've only ever stitched a wound of my own…im not doing this we have to go to a hospital- your friend that kid doctor him he can help."
"He's blackout drunk right now and in even worse condition than I am. I'm getting these bullets out, and you are not going to watch or do it for me." Jo replies, hard yet gently.

"Jo you're going to do it you won't be able to….there's too many…" she looked up at him a pained expression saying that she'd be doing this whether he liked it or not
"I will be able to do it. I've done it with shotgun pellets, I can do it with 9 mil rounds." Jo snaps.
"I can pick you up and lock you out of the house, you know." he adds, softer this time.
