Scars {G-Idle}

Chapter 6

"Minnie, sweetheart, we've been doing this for twenty minutes. Please eat your food." Soyeon held the fork to her lips. "Please eat."

"B-but I don't wanna!" Minnie pouted. "I'm scared!"

"Why are you scared to eat? Would you like something else?"

"I'm just scared! Why do I have to give a reason?"

"Because you need to eat!" Soojin groaned.

"If I eat, will you stop it!" she cried. "They tortured me while I ate and forced me to keep eating until I threw up!"

"My god, they ruined eating for her too?" Yuqi gasped. "Minnie, what kind of hell monsters were they?"

"They destroyed me!" Minnie bawled at the top of her lungs, so loud that Yuqi and Shuhua drew back. "You might have seen those medical reports, but those don't show all they did to me! You never knew how many times they shoved a toy in me and threatened to kill me if I didn't keep it there during a performance! You never knew how many times they beat me and forced pencils down my throat! Th-they pushed f-four of themselves into my ass and d-demolished me for so long... I have nightmares every night about them..."

"No... oh, you poor thing..." Soyeon slowly put the fork down and pulled her into her lap. "You sweet girl, you never deserved this..."

Minnie buried her face between her breasts, shuddering. "What makes you think I didn't?"

The room went dead silent for a moment and all the girls stared at their injured friend in horror.

"Oh god, why the hell would you think that?" Soojin gulped. "You're so precious... you could never deserve it."

"R-really?" Minnie swallowed.

"Always, honey," Soyeon cooed.

Shuhua blinked as she peered out the window of the door. "Um, girls... something's happened. You're going to want to see this."

Miyeon opened the door and they all screamed. In the middle of the hallway was a girl, stripped naked, with blood spilling out of her stomach. In her chest was a knife and under the knife, M I N N I E was spelled out with stab wounds.

"Oh my god..." Soyeon chewed on her lip. "Th-that's Twice's Jihyo... no..."

"No... no, no, no..." Minnie grabbed fistfuls of her hair in each hand. "Th-they know... they know I'm here... a-and they k-killed Jihyo to l-let me know..."

"She's not dead! She's still breathing!" Soojin pointed out. "Her chest is moving. Where are the nurses? Where's Jin?"

"Minnie, Minnie, stay in here." Soyeon held her close and turned toward the wall. "If the mafia people are here, you need to stay out of sight."

"I'm scared, I'm scared..." Minnie croaked, her body spasming in Soyeon's arms.

"I know, sweetie, I know, but stay down."

"Jihyo!" Shuhua knelt at her side as nurses began to approach from both sides. "Who did this to you?"

"D-don't... know..." Jihyo coughed up a spray of blood. "C-came... to visit... Jeongyeon... a-and someone c-covered my eyes... a-as they stabbed me and c-carved me up..."

"Jihyo, they carved a name into you. These men raped our Minnie and she's in this mental hospital right now. They are after her and I... I'm so sorry you got caught up in this..."

"M-Minnie... n-no... she's so innocent and sweet... she... n-needs to live..." The Twice leader passed out.

"Help!!" Shuhua screamed, her hand measuring Jihyo's weak pulse on her neck. "Please... help her..."

"Unnie, I'm scared, I'm scared!" Minnie sobbed as she caught a glimpse of the pool of blood left over when Jihyo was taken away. "I don't want them to come after me again! This is why I want to die!"

"Minnie, honey, shh." Soyeon pressed a finger to her lips. "They must be nearby if they dumped Jihyo here. If you don't want them to come after you, stay quiet."

"Stay down!" Shuhua gasped as she ran back inside and shut the door. "Yuqi, Soojin, Miyeon, protect Minnie! If they make their way in here, we have to be prepared to fight. But if they make it in, we also have to prepare for Minnie to sink into a flashback and Soyeon, you need to keep her down."

Minnie's breathing grew faster as Soyeon sat down with her in her lap in the corner. "No, please, please, please..."

"Minnie, honey, please calm down." The leader sweetly kissed her forehead. "Just hold on to me and stay calm."

"I w-want out..." Minnie squeaked, curling up into a tight ball. "D-don't sell me to them..."

"We won't. We will fight for you."

Minnie started to cry again and Soyeon felt her heart break as she listened to it for such a long time. When at last the blood was cleaned up and over a half hour had passed, Hyejin came into the room, a relieved expression on her face.

"We've searched the whole wing and they're not here. She is safe."

"No, she's not!" Soyeon glared at the young nurse. "Minnie will never be safe if we don't find those rapists and get them all put on trial! Besides, if they're part of the mafia, they'll hurt others too and we have to put them away!"

"Why can't I just dieeeee?" Minnie whined, sucking on her thumb fearfully.

"We're not going through this again right now, hun. But..." Soojin huffed. "She's right. Minnie will never feel truly safe unless they are put away. And since she was raped... we're going to have to investigate more, which means using those panties we found and much more."

"W-what?" She winced and started to shake. "Y-you found those?"

"Yes, we did. And if you want to feel safe again, you'll let us help you."

"Wait a minute..." Soyeon cradled Minnie carefully. "Hyejin, I have to ask... how much did they damage her? We need to know."

"Oh, girls..." Hyejin sighed. "It's going to be touch and go for a while, but just know... she's not going to ever walk normally again. If she ever dances... it's not going to be the same. The only solution to that is a lengthy surgery that she would never survive, so... things will ever be normal again for her. They damaged her permanently."

"No... oh, our poor Minnie..." She kissed her tear stained cheeks. "Little Minnie..."

"Hold me..." Minnie mewled, laying her head against Soyeon's collarbone. "Don't let go... please don't let go... stay with me tonight... please..."

"I can't, my love, I'm sorry..."

Minnie had to be put to sleep by a needle for the rest of G-Idle to be able to leave, all of them vowing that the people who had hurt her would pay dearly.
