✔Royabel : Jung Sungchan

CH 13

Hyejin POV

It's probably been days now, I don't know. My whole body has gone numb. My ankles, wrists and even my neck was chain to prevent me from moving.

Twice a day Seonghwa would bring a plate of food which I obviously couldn't swallow considering how beaten up I was. I think I'm bleeding on the inside too.

All I know is that were still in the sea. How? The rocking of the ship and the sound of waves.

The helplessness was piercing my heart. I could escape, but where would I go to, were in the middle of the ocean for heaven's sake.

So instead I had to bear Hongjoong's abuse. My clothes were torn into rags, they can't even be called clothes anymore.

I just prayed Sungchan had managed to get home where he would be safe.

"Land ahoy!" I heard one of them yell, my mood brightened, this was my chance to escape.

As the boat docked, I heard the anchor falling into the water, this was my cue.

Inserting my nails into the lock, I pick it, failing a few times, I unlock them all.

Tiptoeing to the door, I look from the small window if anyone was guarding the door, but the corridor was empty, opening the door, I sneakily walk out and look around before heading up on deck.

The coast was clear, I quickly jumped off the boat, but what I hadn't anticipated was that one of them would be standing outside, below the ship.

Falling on my knees, I let out a light squeak which was enough to gain his attention, running at him, I elbowed him in his stomach causing him to fall backward with a grunt.

My body was completely worn out, but I had to get away from them somehow.

As I ran, I didn't care look backwards, I just kept running, but I couldn't get far, Hongjoong caught up to me with ease and tackled me down to the ground.

"Stupid of you to think you could escape me." He spits and Carey's me over his shoulder, not after trying my hands together with a thick rope.

When we reached near the ship, Mingi hit me hard on my head, causing me to knock out.

When I had woken up, we were sailing again, now, Seonghwa was sitting in front of me on a chair with a gun in his hand.

I just cursed at myself for becoming like this.
