The Stars Within Us [BOOK 2]

[17]

The next day Nayeon and Jeongyeon woke up from the sound of banging.

"Wake up!" A man outside the door said, banging the metal door with a baton.

Jeongyeon and Nayeon slowly woke up.

"Huh? Are we getting shot at?" Nayeon said, still dazed from her sleep.

"No idiot." Jeongyeon replied. Nayeon looked at Jeongyeon, giving her an annoyed look.

A small section of the metal door opened at the bottom, there 2 metal trays of food with utensils slid through.

"That must be breakfast." Nayeon got off the bed and brought the 2 trays to Jeongyeon.

Each tray was separated into sections, one section contained mash potatoes, another had broccoli and the last section had a small piece of steak. It was as small as half a dollar bill, maybe even smaller.

"Why is there barely any meat?" Jeongyeon looked at the camera in the room, "You know I mainly eat meat right?"

"It's fine, you can have my steak." Nayeon said, using her fork to move her steak onto Jeongyeon’s tray.

"You don't have to do that. Here let me give you some of my white stuff."

"White stuff?"

"Yea whatever that is." Jeongyeon pointed to the mashed potatoes.

"Those are mashed potatoes."

"Oh. Looks like the fire extinguisher white fluff."

"The what?" 

"The white fluff that came out of the fire extinguisher when I used it to put out the fire in the kitchen."

"The fire?!" Nayeon said, very confused.

Jeongyeon realized she didn't tell Nayeon about the fire. "...uh. nothing!" She said quickly before picking up her fork and eating her steak.

Nayeon stared at Jeongyeon curiously. But soon gave up and started eating too.

After eating all their food 2 men with batons came into the room, one picked up the trays and one stayed to watch. Once the trays were put away Jaehyun entered the room.

Jaehyun fixed his sleeves in front of the couple. "Sit on the bed Nayeon. If you do anything suspicious or disobey me my men will beat Jeongyeon up." 

"Why her? Shouldn't it be me?" Nayeon was furious already.

"Because the dog deserves the beating, it also helps tame both you and your dog." Pointing towards Jeongyeon who was still handcuffed to the bed.

"Don't call her a dog!" Nayeon yelled at him, she would attack him but the 2 men would hurt Jeongyeon with their batons.

"Is she not?" Jaehyun teased. "Seems like one." He chuckled. "Anyways." 

He waved his hands to his men. One of the men pulled out some keys and unlocked the handcuff on Jeongyeon.

Jeongyeon rubbed her wrist, feeling relief from the tight grip of the handcuff.

"Now we will do our tests." Jaehyun opened the metal door and 2 more men came in, this time they held a gun and a taser. 

"Come with us Jeongyeon."

"No." Jeongyeon said, staying on the ground.

"That was a command Jeongyeon. You don't get a choice." Jaehyun said, one of the men with the baton stepped closer to Jeongyeon, ready to use force if necessary.
