~Time skip: 2 weeks~

I had started getting used to my new way of life as we created a plan to get Hyunjoon arrested. It was like finally feeling the sun after being hidden away for so long. I started to look better. I felt better, and I never wanted to feel the way I did before. "Hey Chang. You look good today." "Thank you, Seungseo." I felt happy being able to converse with others without having to worry. I loved this freedom.

I sensed an eerie presence then felt as if I was being suffocated. "Changmin." "Hyunjoon..." I was scared shitless. Hasn't the company heard of what he's done? Shouldn't he have been fired. He suddenly held my hands and looked at me with the purest eyes I've ever seen. "I miss you...it feels so lonely without you. Come home..." "No." "I've changed my ways. I really miss you. I can't stand being without you." My heart twitched. Was he really being sincere? "I understand...at least, let's have one last night out together?" "Okay..." It was just dinner. It's not like he could do anything in front of everyone. "Tell me where. I'm not going with you." "La Ristoria." I wrote down the name and sent him off.

"And I told him to cut down on carbs! Can you believe the guy?" I laughed along with Sunwoo. His stories were interesting to listen to. "Ah, I'm going out with a friend tonight. Don't wait up for me." "Let me know when you get there." I nodded then received a pat on the head. I started to fall in love with them. Hyunjoon and a few others joined us and I felt highly uncomfortable. He sat down next to me and seemed to have a bunch of my favorite foods. My mouth watered. "Oh? Looking at these?" "N-No..." I looked away. I couldn't let myself be tempted. He was the enemy. It was bad enough that I was going out to eat with him.

I arrived in front of the place and marveled at its structure. "He knows how to choose them..." I noticed a familiar car then saw Hyunjoon poke his head out. He got out of the car then walked over to me. "Do you mind watching the car? I need to check our reservation just in case." I nodded then hopped into the backseat. I lightly patted my thighs as I waited for him to come out. I found myself yawning and wanting to lay down. "I'm sure he wouldn't mind a quick nap..." I lied down and closed my eyes.

I was jolted awake by a searing pain in my left arm. "B-B-Blood...?" I looked up and instantly recognized where I was. I moved about and learned that I was handcuffed to the bed. My mind started racing as I wondered what he had done to me in my unconscious state. My face was soon filled with horror as Hyunjoon walked in with a bucket. "Welcome home, my love." "Let me go!" "I did and where did you end up? With that sorry excuse of a human! We belong together Chang..." He cupped my face and I took the chance to headbutt him. I wasn't going to fall for this tricks anymore. He rubbed his forehead then growled. "You better behave. I have your life in my hands." He wasn't wrong. "Forget the bucket, I'll just fuck the shit out of you." "Don't..."

I felt helpless as his lips attacked my neck and collarbone. My cries went unheard and so did my pleas. I was in pain. My wrists, back, ass, everything. He pulled out of me and only gave me a moment to breathe before the gag was replaced with his dick covered in precum. He tightly gripped my hair as he thrusted deep into my mouth. I often gagged and received disappointed looks from him. "We're not even halfway done." My eyes were watery and my jaw was in pain. I didn't miss any of it. I wanted to go back to Sunwoo. I struggled against the handcuffs and started screaming. He quickly silenced me with a kiss then put the gag back on. "You're really reckless tonight..." He picked up the bucket then placed it on the nightstand. "Let's see how long you'll last..."

I coughed as he pulled my head back up. "It's not enough..." I watched him walk out of the room and I started struggling again. I was in hell. Nonstop torture. I was tired and weak. I was hungry, parched, anything you could imagine. He walked back in with a box of matches. "I haven't burned you in a while..." He struck a match and held it close to my arm. "Should I do it here? Or on this pretty face?" He placed the match on my arm and made sure I couldn't move. It hurt like hell. My eyes were dry from all of my crying. I had no tears to shed. I wished Hyunjoon would die.

I found myself swaying as I sat on the floor. I wanted to sleep, but I was told I'd be cut and burned if I did. I was so tired. He entered the room holding a bowl and spoon. "Hungry?" I stayed quiet. "Open up." I turned my head away. I didn't want his food. "Fine. Don't say I didn't offer." He took the food away and my stomach growled in dissatisfaction. He turned back around then squatted again. "Eat." I turned my head again. I'd rather die than eat anything his demon hands made. He turned my face towards him then held the spoon close. "Changmin..." "I don't want it! Get away from me!" I was yelling at him. I couldn't control myself. I received a slap that stung. "For fuck's sake Changmin, just eat the bloody food!" "No!"

I felt his hands touch my face. I expected another slap, but instead his hands were caressing my cheeks. I looked at him and could see a bit of sadness in his eyes. "Did I break you...?" His tone was somber and remorseful. I never felt so confused. He was so cold hearted, but now he's starting to care. He gently placed kisses on my face then started to cry. "I'm so sorry...I just love you so much and I don't want you to ever leave me..." He gently embraced me, leaving me with conflicting feelings. Either he was a good actor or seriously needed therapy.
