A/N: this chapter is going to be pretty intense and long c;

September 18, 4:58 pm

Seolhee, who was struggling to release herself away from Donggyu's touch, just wasn't strong enough to push him off of her. His palm tightly sealed her mouth as he quickly dragged the stubborn Seolhee to a dark hallway so that no one witnesses them.

He slammed her against the wall and afterwards gave her time to try and squirm out of his grip but she failed badly. All she could do was whimper.

He dug his hands in his pockets, trying to find something that was convenient to be able to bring Seolhee with him. He brought out a small handkerchief with poured chloroform on it and pressed it against her nose and mouth.

She then inhaled the compound since she couldn't hold her breath long enough. Her body then interacted with the compound in a few seconds, making her feel dizzy little by little. Everything started to turn black as her eyes involuntarily closed shut and her body felt light. She slowly fell unconscious on the floor.

Leaning down on one knee, Donggyu smiled at what he has done, his eyes lying on the pale Seolhee in her unconscious state.

Stupid, stupid Jinshil. Does she really think she could make this brat escape like that? Clearly, I'm smarter than she thinks., he thought arrogantly to himself. What he doesn't know that if Seolhee hadn't tripped while running away from him, she would've gotten away from him.

After a few seconds of congratulating himself about his victory, he then proceeded on engulfing Seolhee's body in his arms and lifted her up in a bridal style.

"I used to bring you with me to my place, don't I? Hold on, Seolhee, we're coming home." Donggyu told the unconscious girl, taking his time to walk towards the school's exit as he kissed Seolhee's forehead.

Out of all people he has 'loved' in his life, Seolhee is just the only girl he couldn't let go.

Donggyu then slowly walked to his van with Seolhee, completely oblivious of his surroundings.

What he doesn't know is that someone listens. Every single word Donggyu said entered Jaeyong's mind and after standing in disbelief at what Donggyu said, he slowly processed what he said.

My place? Home?

Is Seolhee being brought to that dickhead's house?

"What the fuck?" Jaeyong cursed under his breath whilst hiding behind a wall, trying not to get caught. Jaeyong knew about Seolhee a lot more than anyone had expected. Judging from the way Donggyu treated Seolhee a few days back, he got a clearer understanding of his grudge towards her.

Still, he's still confused as to what Donggyu's going to do with the tormented lass.

"Huh? What are you swearing for?" Jinshil asked in curiosity at the sudden expression of her twin brother.

"We need to go home. It's getting late, mom is going to get mad at us." She then continued in a worrying tone, her hand placed on Jaeyong's arm. He immediately shook her hand away from him and turned to her with a mad expression.

"I thought you told her what to do so that she can save herself, Jinshil. Guess what? You didn't succeed, you idiot! She got caught by him, and for now I think they're already getting away to his house!" He scolded her, making her eyes widen in surprise.

"What?!" Jaeyong shrugged her sister's reaction off and ran towards to where he think Donggyu went.

The next thing he saw was Donggyu carrying Seolhee into his white van and brought her inside. He then went to the driver's seat and shut the door closed, subsequently starting the engine. In a few seconds, he's ready to drive off to take Seolhee with him.

Being the witness of the incident, Jaeyong hastily rush towards the van with all his strength yet he didn't catch up. He was only greeted by the car's exhaust blowing past his face as the van drove into a distance.

Jinshil then heard Jaeyong's groan in frustration and started catching up from behind. Jaeyong turned to her with a defeated look and was taken aback with the serious look on her face. Many things started to flood Jinshil's mind slowly.

"Let's go back. I'm sorry okay?" That's all she said before going back inside the school with a plan on her head. "What are you doing?" Jaeyong asked in confusion.

"We'll save Seolhee, I have a plan to get her away from him and we need to fucking rush. I'm not a hundred percent sure it will work, but I need you to cooperate." Jinshil responded associated with a curse, making Jaeyong more flabbergasted than he already is.

Why are they coming back to the school if that means not chasing after the van?

September 18, 6:30 pm

Feeling a little stuffy, I regained my consciousness, having a small feeling that a decade just passed. I then fluttered my eyes open only to be greeted by the blinding light surrounding me, making my eyes squint in response.

It took me seconds to find out that I'm in an unknown room— probably a basement surrounded by complete darkness while the lightbulb's light only radiating at me.

What's going on?

I then started to panic as I found out that I was sitting on a chair with my feet strongly tied against the legs of it. I started to move side by side with all my might, struggling to free myself and realized that my hands were being.. tied? My breath hitched and I started palpitating as I felt a tall shadow moving behind me.

Why is someone tying me up?

Was I kidnapped?

Fuck, Seolhee, think of how to set yourself free. Don't panic.

While my wrists were still being tied together, I focused on the movements in case I get the chance to leave. I then tried to memorize the motion of the rope being tied around hands. After watching a lot of action movies, I figured that you'll get out of the ropes easily if you're conscious whilst being tied.

But why is this happening?

I then heard a raspy chuckle at the behind me. I sat straight and stiff on the chair in nervousness and agitation. After a few seconds, a man slowly walked in front of me and he chuckled again. I could only see his school trousers at eye level and I refused to look up, afraid of knowing who's in front of me.

I started to fidget on the ropes that secured my hands and feet, trying to break free.

"I used to bring you here, right?" My heart skipped a bit this person's voice and I immediately recognized it as Donggyu's.

My insides started to flip as he laid his palms on both arms of the chair, slowly bending his back forward so that he could lean closer to my face. He had a pretty conceited smile forming in his lips. His face up close makes me chill, especially how his eyes were flaming red in anger.

Am I in his house?

"Seolhee," I cringed at the sound of my name rolling off his tongue but I tried to remain blank and as expressionless as I could. "There are many things I could do with you, don't you know that?" He says followed by a sneer.

"I could point a gun on your head, choke you, stab you, starve you to death and many other things. But I chose not to since I care about you." He enumerated, making me shiver each time he mentions something he could do. My heart was racing and I remained high strung and motionless in front of him.

I dropped my head down low, "What is this.. what the hell are you trying to do with me?" I said in a soft defeated tone, my voice completely shaky. Fear is getting the best of me slowly.

Tears started to form in my eyes, blurring my vision a bit unknowingly. I need help. I freaking need help.

"No, princess. I'm the one to ask, why did you leave me? We were doing fine and we're perfect together," He continued to talk, bringing his hand up near my face, subsequently cupping my cheek and made me look up at him. I flinched at his touch and gritted my teeth, staring intently in his eyes.

I need to do something.

"S..Set me free, you asshole! We aren't perfect together! You played with me, nothing was fucking real!" I yelled at him with all my might and was about to hit him until it came to my senses again that my limbs were secured by the ropes.

I watched as his eyes turned redder and he gave me a tight slap. To think that this is probably only the start, something inside me tells me to give in to him. I'm too weak and helpless.

My tears started to stream down faster. I can feel my cheek burn after the slap and seeing him satisfied with my reaction, I only felt worse.

"Don't you know how much pain I had to go through because of you?! It was more than that slap, you bitch." He then shouted back, making me flinch again. He then grabbed my hair and yanked it hard upwards, making me wince and shout out loud in agony. My whole body started to tremble in pain.

Still grabbing hold of my hair, he then kneeled beside me and started at my face. He started to pull my hair back and forth and side to side playfully.

"I really thought you'd promise me that you'll never leave me again but oh well, you're a tough one." He sulked childishly. "You know what's my objective for now huh? It's to make you feel how much pain you've given me, even more than that if possible." He threatened. My heart raced even faster.

He's palying with my sanity.

Trying to stay strong, I gave a small chuckle. I couldn't let myself lose like this.

"I've already experienced enough torture in my life, Donggyu. So please, don't even expect me to be afraid of your stupid threat." I cockily said, making him angrier and slapped me again and immediately stood up.

It's true. All the pain my mom has given me, all the times I've been betrayed, all the times where no one was there for me.

"Can you fucking shut up?!" He shouted, his voice echoing throughout the whole, empty room. "You're pathetic, Seolhee! I've already got you now. Not even Jinshil and her stupid brother saved you. They all failed didn't they?!"

Yeah, right. They didn't.

I can save myself.

He continued to yell things at me which I think were meant to be hurtful, but I didn't listen at all. Instead, I continued to think of ways how to make myself escape. If no one's going to be there for me, I might as well do my best alone and try to free myself away from him.

That's when I thought of a plan.

"Why don't you just continue to beat me up huh? If all you're trying to do is to make me feel the pain you've gone through, then I'm in it." I dared him in an intimidating tone. "Just get me out of this chair but still tie me up, then after that you can do whatever you want to me." I gave him a cocky smile.

I really hope this would work.
