"You!! Who are you!? What do you want from us!?" Struggling to break free from the chains, Jisoo glared at the man.
The man chuckled. He stepped forward from the darkness. There was a faint beam of light coming from the only window in the room, making the man's appearance vaguely visible. He wore a mechanic's jumpsuit and his face was covered with a mask. He was holding some sort of sword in his hand.
Jisoo's eyes widened. Sword? What is he-
"From you?" In one swift motion, he swung the sword and slashed through Jisoo's right arm. "Don't flatter yourself."
Jisoo cried out in pain and Bomin frantically called out to her.
"I'm- I'm fine. It's- it's okay Min." Then looking straight into his eyes, she glared. "You can't scare us with this."
The man let out an amused laugh. "Who said I was trying to scare you? I don't want to see you scared.... I want to see you in pain!!" With that his sword slashed through Jisoo's left leg. Jisoo let out a scream and immediately pressed her lips together, not wanting to give the man the satisfaction of hearing her screams.
"Aww, trying to be brave? Tsk. Too bad it'll be of no help. Because I can do anything just to see her in pain. If it requires I break down every single bone of yours, I can do that as well."
"Her? Who are you talking about?"
"Ah, I didn't tell you did I? Choi Jisoo. Choi Bomin. Best friends of Park Jieun since high school. Who do you think I'm talking about?"
"Don't you dare touch Jieun!!" Bomin shouted. Jisoo on the other hand took deep breaths to calm herself.
"Who are you and why do you want to hurt Jieun? How do you even know her?"
"Let's say that wretched friend of yours has some unfinished matter to resolve."
"Lies! Jieun is not that sort of a person! She'll never-"
"You don't raise your voice at me!!" The man raised his sword and stabbed it in Jisoo's leg, near the previous cut. As Jisoo squirmed in pain he crouched down in front of her and harshly grabbed her chin. "Listen girl, you don't know who I am and what I can do. I suggest, stop messing with me and maybe I'll let you live for a few more hours than promised. You and your brother brought this upon yourselves. If you hadn't been friends with that jinxed girl none of us would be here right now."
Anger coursed through Bomin's veins seeing his sister being treated like that. His blood boiled even more at the way the man was talking about his Jieun.
"Hey you, madman! Listen here, touch my sister and Jieun one more time and I'll kill you with that sword of yours!! Do whatever you want with me. Let them go."
The man stood up with a sinister smile, his hands tightening around the sword hilt. "You asked for this boy."

Neo Police Headquarters.
When Hendery, Ten and Winwin had returned Jieun had begged them to let her join in on the meeting but they only gave her a sad smile and told her to wait outside the meeting room.
"Your friends will be okay Miss Park, don't worry."
"We'll get your friends back safe and sound."
"You'll be able to see your friends soon, Miss Park."
With that they bowed politely and entered the room with the door to the meeting room shutting behind their disappearing figures.
