XXXIV

"W-what?"

It wasn't me, it wasn't Taehyung, or anyone in this room for that matter.

It was Yungmi.

Her eyes are wide in disbelief and stance much weaker than the hand that shakes on the doorframe.

"What did you just say...?" her eyes are narrowed down on her mother menacingly as she asks for an affirmation.

"Yungmi, baby I-"

"Do not, call me your daughter. Ever. Again." her cold voice seethes and anger is dripped down like venom as she warns her own mother. Helen looks just as beaten up like the two of her children. Jungkook was staring at her and his sister, hopefully trying to find a way to ease the tension.

"Yungmi please listen to m—" the daughter's hand is raised up, Helen shuts her mouth instantly. I see as Yungmi's breath is ragged and her body shakes with every breath she takes.

"Enough. I don't think I'll be able to believe any other word you'll ever say to me again. Please stop."

"I was just trying to protect you!"

"From my own family!?" Yungmi retorts back at her mother and the older woman is effectively overpowered onto.

"You lied to me. All these years...You lied to me, mother." she says scoffing along the lines. The word almost came out like she hated the relationship between her and her mother.

"Now you've found your son. Right?"

I smell something fishy and odd with the ghost of a smile over her lips and take a step towards her.

"I'll go find my father too, then." all of our eyes widen at what she says and before anything could even more in the room, Yungmi bolts the door and seems to block access with something tough on the other side.

My body goes cold over what I was feeling. Tears automatically form in my eyes as I keep yelling for help at a higher and higher voice.

Guards immediately rush to help and something snaps, something like a thick wooden block is axed down and the door opens again.

"Ma'am, what's wro—"

"FIND YUNGMI! Go!" before the guard could even ask anything, Helen shrieks out in a high pitched voice. My body begins to shake and I don't distinguish in whose embrace I am in.

"Hey hey, shush. Please be optimistic baby. I love you, ill never let anything happen to my sister." he says, planting a kiss to my hair and running off to a varied direction.

The fear in the mother's eye is caught when she looks at me. Her eyes widen very suddenly, as if she realised something.

"M-my room..." she says and frantically runs to the opposite side and disappears from the turn.

I on the other hand, stand baffled and perplexed about each and every thing.

Why do I feel so, so bad about what's going to happen to us...?

Yungmi POV

I scream as I try my best to pull the tufts of roots above me down to the ground.

Dirt and soil ruins my hair and a few effect my eyes as I keep stumbling over the small rocks in the tunnel.

It's a secret way to the outside from the forest house.

The only reason I ran away from them was because I needed some space to myself. I wanted to go back to my father.

And I could do it once I hotwire the truck that is stationed right outside the compound.

Just a few meters more Yungmi...

I begin to feel overwhelmed at the exhaustion that finally seeps into my skin. The emotional pressure was too sudden and too high for me to keep going on, but my kind swore to keep running.

Run away from the people who lied to you...My mind commanded me.

Even my uncle knew about this, right? Nigel knew everything. It's a shame that I let him call me his princess when he was betrayer, a liar himself.

Hot tears stop flowing once I see something odd in one of the tunnels.

Out of the three, one reeks of smoke and I only become more curious.

What happened there? A forest fire?

I don't care. Even if I die, I won't care because I hate to let my pride be surrounded with liars.

My face contours into confusion when I see nothing but darkness. There's only smoke, no source of combustion but only white smoke which exudes from somewhere.

It's hard to breath once I get into the smoke clad tunnel, and I struggle but don't find myself taking a turn and going back. I'm too curious, and sometimes it's gets me to places I don't wanna be.

The tunnel ends.

But... I didn't find the source of the smoke yet.

Anyway, I'm outside, into the jungle all alone.

My stomach churns in a way that I begin to feel sick. Not very physically sick but...it's a mind boggling feeling which is familiar to the one of sensing danger.

Before I could see anything else other than the trees and the wild bushes, a hand clasps tightly on my mouth, blocking me from screaming. I panic, so hard that I'm almost hyperventilating.

Tears fall on the man's hand from my eyes and I begin sobbing in no time. My knees are going weak and my body refuses to cooperate with me.

The man's hand circles around my waist and pulls me disgustingly close to himself, my back crashing on his strong, wide chest.

"There is my prize. Hello kitten."





No.

T-this can't be real.

He can't be real...

I'm in some sort of an awoken dream. No, I refuse to believe I'm in this situation, in this man's clutches.

"We meet again, baby girl."

A strangled cry emits from the back of my throat as his tongue licks a stripe along my neck and my jaw.

No please...God save me. I've made a mistake...

I'd rather die than exist anywhere near this man.

I'm scared, Tae. Hana, brother...mom?

I'm scared.
