Chapter 6:: Azure
Author's POV:
You stared at him quietly before looking away.
"I'm sure you'd never know why I did that... after all, you're just a gangster who lives in this lonely mansion. What would you know about care?" He didn't respond. You noticed how he blinked a few times, looking down. His slightly raised brows and pressed lips, as if he was wondering about something. Did you just say something too harsh? You were sure you did, but he deserved it.
No matter how uneasy your own words made you feel, he deserved it. You were adamant he did.
He got up and said, "Look. I have no intentions of harming you for any reason. And you can't go away from me for 3 months. 90 days, you are with me. So you should try to adjust to everyone and everything in the house. After 3 months, I'll release you safe and sound, you only have to survive here."
"I don't deserve this." You whispered out. He didn't reply and walked near the bedroom door. Turning his head, he saw your closed eyes as you were lying there, weakly.
"You don't." He whispered and went out of the room.
—Dinner
You coughed a little and sighed. Suddenly, you saw Jo entering the room with a tray in his hand. It had food, not grass but real food. Burgers, a slice of pizza, chicken fry, bread with spread cheese, a few sushis, apple juice along with water and cola.
Was this food for 10 people? Jo placed the huge tray on your bed as you stared at the tray and at him.
"Please have this, you shouldn't faint again." He said.
"That's all?" You asked, not knowing why you had to get on his nerves but yeah, you did anyway.
"Nope... dessert's on its way," Jo said. You wanted to gasp but didn't. You gulped and looked at the food, it looked delicious.
"If you don't like this, you can tell me what you want," Jo said. You shook your head immediately and said, "It's good..."
He pressed his lips together and said, "I'll bring in the dessert shortly. Please have this, and also, you shouldn't hate Mr Kim so much. He's the one who ordered the cook to make all these for you."
You frowned and scoffed, looking away. You would never have a positive feeling about him. No matter whatever 'good' thing he did, he was still a kidnapper who created the 2 worst days of your life.
As Jo left, you quickly looked at the food. It appeared so delicious. A smile spread across your lips. This was the first time you smiled in the past 2 days.
You gulped and took the pizza, taking a bite. You moaned immediately, it was so good.
You could cry. The food was so good. You started eating, slowly. You were starving and the food right now was heaven to you.
—Some time passed by and you noticed how you swallowed half of the tray.
"Umm.." You thinned your lips and said, "How did I leave out only a piece of chicken and some sushis... Was I that hungry?"
Sighing, you waited for the dessert. Yeah, you still hated it here but you had no idea the food here was delicious. It somehow soothed you. But wait— what if he poisoned the food?
Your uneasy expression soon eased as you heard Jo speaking, "No, it's not poisoned.."
He served the tray of desserts which again, made you gasp. Donuts, eclairs, pastry, brownies and a chocolate milkshake? It seemed like a show right now. Was he showing off his 'generosity' which didn't exist?
"What?" You asked Jo who said, "You say out your thoughts loudly.. I guess. But rest assured, it's not poisoned. It was tasted by the chef first. We don't eat food which isn't tasted by the chefs first."
"Oh." You nodded and gulped, embarrassed. Okay, he didn't have to know how far your thoughts went.
Jo soon left again. And you— dug in the dessert, again.
—Bedtime
You were so full. It felt so good. But you were still feeling a little tired. You needed a good sleep tonight with your calm stomach. Those torturous meals felt like a dream, gosh.
The lights were turned off as you stared at the ceiling. You remembered what Taehyung had said,
'Look. I have no intentions of harming you for any reason. And you can't go away from me for 3 months. 90 days, you are with me. So you should try to adjust to everyone and everything in the house. After 3 months, I'll release you safe and sound, you only have to survive here.'
3 months? It was a little confusing, if he had no intentions of harming you, why would you need to stay here for 3 months? He already had made use of you from that call. But why did he call your uncle like that? Did he know him?
Why did he want to kidnap Uncle's daughter, Tzuyu? Though you were the one kidnapped instead, what was the purpose?
It definitely had to do something with your uncle and not— his needs for women or something like you had assumed at first.
"What can he gain from this..? Money? He seems to have plenty though." You said, looking at the interior of the bedroom. The house was so luxurious, you knew for a fact that the car you got in was luxurious too.
Then, why did he kidnap you? The purpose definitely had to do something more than just gain money. He was a mafia, not some local kidnapper.
"I really need to know..." You muttered but sighed, looking at the time. 12:40 am.
Before anything, you needed to sleep.
—On the other hand
Taehyung looked at the trays and said, "She ate all that by herself?"
Jo nodded.
"She thought you put in poison for once... but I assured her you didn't."
"Yet she ate all that? The poisoned food? Fathead.."
"You seem to find her pretty ridiculous," Jo said, pressing his lips. Taehyung shook his head and said, "She's really stubborn... unnecessarily stubborn and adamant to that little mind of hers. It'll be really hard to make her calm down."
"But sir, why 3 months? We can ask Lee Taereul to give us the information of the gold in a month or so."
Taehyung clicked his tongue and said, "Because... Lee Taereul isn't trustworthy. If he plays any tricks on us, we have to make sure he pays for it."
"You won't harm her for real, right?" Jo asked, sounding a little hesitant. Taehyung sighed and said, "I won't. She shouldn't feel safe here either. If Taereul gets a hint that she's safe here, he'll never tell us the information easily. We need to make him believe that she's unsafe here... and her life's at stake."
"What about Miss Y/N?"
"Being the fathead she is, she'll rebel anyway. She believes she isn't safe here and she won't ever think otherwise. It's better that way, she doesn't have to know she's safe here."
"Okay.." Jo said and nodded.
"Make sure she eats all the meals properly and don't go too easy on her or one day she'll bust your head open to escape," Taehyung said, eyeing Jo who thinned his lips.
—Next day
You stared at the cat in front of you. How did it get in?
"Hey. How did you get in?" You asked the cat as it 'meow-ed' at you. You frowned and said, "Did you sneak in?" It again, meow-ed.
You sighed and said, "Woah... I've been kidnapped in this hellhole and you sneak in here by your wish? Weird.."
You bent down and patted the cat's head. You were in the yard which was, of course, surrounded by those bulky men. But you had nothing to do so you just stood in the yard until this cat started meowing in front of you.
"Our eyes are so similar... Do you have a name?" You asked, softly smiling. It was so adorable.
Suddenly, you saw the cat raising its head as it ran in the direction behind you. You frowned and turned around to see the familiar raven-haired, standing there. Your soft smile straightened which didn't go unnoticed by the man.
The cat immediately jumped into his arms, who bent down, holding it. He patted her head as the cat snuggled into his chest. You were so grossed out by the sight.
"What a choice this cat has.." You whispered, shaking your head. You were about to leave the yard and walk inside when the deep voice spoke, "Azure."
You frowned and looked behind. He turned around, the cat still in his arms.
"It's her name." He said. You frowned harder and said, "So? Did I ask?"
"You asked her and her owner replied." He said. The cat was his—? Wow... sounded pretty- uncool.
Such a pretty cat belongs to such a— well, he is pretty. Just his face. But he was still a disgusting man. So—
You scoffed and said, "I don't care."
You were about to leave but the cat meowed at you. You looked back and frowned. Did it seem to tell you something, perhaps— come closer?
But the person holding it was the biggest negative energy. Hence, you just waved at the cat with a tight smile and left the yard. The owner and his cat stared at your back.
"She's really stubborn, Azure. She's a fathead." Taehyung spoke to the cat who meowed, sounding down.
"But she might become friends with you. Considering how she was asking a cat its name as it would reply." Taehyung said, sighing.
"Meow, Meow... ow... Meow." The cat spoke as Taehyung nodded, agreeing.
