Chapter 32: ...

*Riiiiing Riiiing.*

You got startled hearing your phone ring.

You were about to ignore the call but then you noticed the caller.

Seven? 

You hesitated for a moment but eventually answered.

"What do you-"

"Y/N! Where are you?? Your location just disappeared from the grid, where are you?!" He asked with urgency in his voice.

"Huh? You track my every move?!" You exclaimed.

"THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE RIGHT NOW. WHERE. ARE. YOU?!" It scared you hearing Seven so serious and worried.

"I'm at...V's place." You answered. Seven felt the color drain from his face and his blood ran cold.

"Is he there with you?" Seven gulped.

"No..."

"Y/n. Get out of there. NOW." He ordered you.

"What? Why?" you asked getting confused.

"I'll explain later. Just, please. LEAVE that place. NOW." His words were precise and urgent.

"Why? Whats going on seven?" You asked getting irritated from all the secrecy.

"Please, I'll be waiting for you at your apartment...to explain everything, just get out of there while he's not there!" He begged you.

"I'm sorry Seven but I can't." Was the last thing he wanted to hear you say.

"Y/N, please I'm begging you...just leave."

"No! I came here to finish what we started. And if you want me to leave so desperately, then come and get me!" You hung up but not before Seven tapped into the call to make it so you can't hang up.

"Now if I remember correctly, in the game, the files were in a drawer." You thought out-loud while putting your phone in your pocket, not hearing Seven calls out to you on the other end.

You kept looking around and found a single drawer with a lock on it.

"Bingo." You took out some bobby pins from your hair and started playing around with the lock until you heard a faint

Click

You quickly opened the drawer but found something you weren't expecting.

"Contracts?" You recognized the type of document since you learned how to read them properly when you worked with Jumin. Before you could continue reading what it was about, you heard the main door unlock. You quickly put the stuff away and closed the drawer.

"I'm back." He said with a smile and a few groceries at hand.

"Oh!" You pretended you were looking at some of his picture frames. "Let me help you out with that." You said with a smile.

"No no, you're the guest, just take a seat and I'll set the table." You knew he wouldn't let you help so you just did as he said.

"Do you drink wine?" He asked from the kitchen.

"Yeah...I guess?" You said uncertainly making him chuckle.

"You don't sound too sure." He said as he brought two glasses of wine.

"I usually don't drink. At all." You said with a chuckle.

"I see, well I hope you like this one. It's supposed to be sweet." He handed you your glass.

"Thank you." You took a hold of the nice and polished glass.

"Cheers! To the newest member of the RFA."

"Cheers!" You repeated and clincked your glasses together. You took a sip but then retreated the glass from your mouth making V chuckle.

"You don't like it?"

"No, I'm just not used to the flavor is all." You said politely.

"Don't worry, you'll get used to it, just drink a little at a time, no one's hurrying you." He said while taking another sip himself. You nodded with a smile and took another sip.

"I see you paint." You said motioning towards some o the art he had in the corner of the room.

"Oh, yes I usually paint in my free time." He showed you a warm smile.

"You really are a talented person." You complimented while drinking a bit more of the whine.

"Thank you, Y/n. So, are you getting accustomed to the way the RFA works?" V asked you after taking a sip.

"Yeah! It was a bit hard at first but in the end, I'm really having fun spending time with all of you."

"That's good to hear, so you get along well with the others right?" You were about to answer but V cut you off. "That was a silly question to make. Of course you do, but only because you knew them before meeting me." He calmly took another sip from his glass. You looked at him with a calm and composed expression, although you were starting to panicking on the inside.

"What do you mean? I mean, I guess I probably have bumped into them in the past." You said nonchalantly while taking another sip to calm your nerves.

"You mean like when you guys went bowling without me? Or when you went out for coffee with Zen, Yoosung, and Jaehee? And you were working for Jumin last week right?" You sat there frozen in your place.

How did he know??

You tried to think of ways to get out of the situation but with every passing second, it was getting harder and harder to think straight.

"Cat got your tongue? Or maybe the wines finally getting to you?" He said innocently as if nothing was going on.

T-The drink??

You looked at your glass and noticed a few bubbles accumulating at the top.

D-Did he put a drug in my drink??

"You know Y/n, it was really fun watching you all slowly come together, for what?" He put down his cup so he could look straight at you.

"W-We. Wanted to h-help you." You barely managed to say.

"Me? Help ME? Hahahahaha! Are those the lies they fed you?" He said starting to sound like a crazed person.

Lies?

"You know- BEEP BEEP." V stopped his one-sided conversation to look at his phone. "Huh, looks like we'll be having visitors." He locked his phone and stood up. "They act faster than I thought, and you didn't drink too much so you're not completely subsided, that puts a damper on things." V then started walking towards you and you tried to run away but your body felt extremely heavy.

"I'll just take you away now." He then grabbed your arm and pulled you over his shoulder fireman style.

V then hauled you out of his apartment and started running up the emergency stairs. After a few flights of stairs, you noticed you two were on the rooftop of the building.

 It reminded you of the one in your dream.

"The chopper will be here in a few minutes." He said casually. He then put you down and thankfully you could at least stand. "Don't worry, once they come and take us away, you can be my new 'Rika'." He said while caressing your cheek. That's when you could feel the tears slowly fall down your cheeks and to the ground.

"Are you crying tears of joy?" He asked. He then leaned close, making you able to feel his breath on your ear. "You know, when we're finally alone, I was thinking we could go to our bedroom and have a little fun. You know, you would look absolutely stunning in-"

"Y/N!" You heard the all too familiar voice.

"S-Saeyoung." You managed to say. He looked at you with hurt-filled eyes.

"I'm sorry..." He mouthed.

This moment, this whole scene...

It was just like your dream.

"Let her go Jihyun." Saeyoung ordered.

"Haha. very funny. But I'm not letting her go no matter how many people you have." He said confidently.

people?

You then looked around with your hazy vision and noticed a bunch of men dressed in bulletproof vests with guns at hand as well as Saeyoung. But that's when you felt something cold pressed against the side of your head.

"Take another step and her head blows into pieces." You dared to look at the corner of your eye to see a gun. Your blood ran cold and you felt as if you would faint any second now.

"Don't do it Jihyun. Killing her won't benefit you in any way." Saeyoung tried to reason with the madman.

"Who cares if I kill her, I would just kill myself right after." He said casually.

"Jihyun. Just let her go and this whole situation can be fixed." Saeyoung took extremely small steps forward.

"Fixed? Fixed?! There's nothing to fix!!! So if you want her to live you'd better let me leave!" He yelled. Saeyoung could see that the helicopter he asked for was getting close.

Time was running out.

With what little concentration you had left, you made up a plan.

It was a reckless and stupid one.

But it was a plan.

You lifted your right leg as high as you could and brought it down on V's foot while bending your upper body forward so that if he shot, it wouldn't hit you.

Taking this opening you turned to punch him square in the face and ran in the opposite direction.

"Y/N!" Saeyoung called out to you. You desperately tried to run as fast as you could with your body still weighing you down.

Everything was happening in slow motion. As you ran to him, his face turned from scared to relive.

I made it.

You thought as your tears fell freely in relief.

Suddenly you felt something hit your left shoulder making you slow down.

and then there it was again, Saeyoung's face of horror and guilt.

You came to a stop.

You tried to look over your shoulder and then touched it with your right hand.

Blood.

Faint gunshot sounds behind you could be heard, hitting the enemy target. 

The last thing you saw was Saeyoung running towards you as your vision quickly blacked out.

That moment when you accidentally publish a chapter while still editing it....

hehe...

That "Publish" button is way to close to the "save" button.

Seriously.
