Times change (TaeJin)

Chapter 19: This far

Jin's POV

I am still sitting in the dark.
I can't remember how long I have been here, but I am slowly getting exhausted from trying to stay awake.

Hours must have passed in which I tried to tie myself up or to free myself from the blindfold,
but the only thing I have managed is my ankle hurting from all the tugging.
They must be red and bleeding by now.

Stay awake Jin, you must stay awake. I chanted in my head, so that I didn't drift into sleep.

The insecurity and insomnia are killing me.

I don't know where I am, whether someone will come and safe me.
I can't remember how I got here.
All this uncertainty increases my tension and I want to cry and scream at the same time.

Will Tae come to save me?

I am scared to death right now, but I'm even more afraid of never seeing my friends and family again.
Never seeing Tae again!

I'm pretty sure who's behind this, but I don't know what she's capable of doing.
She turned out to be dangerous, but I would never have thought that she would go this far. 

Until I heard footsteps in the otherwise quiet building.
They slowly came closer into my direction.
I can't make out any other so she must be the only person here besides me.

My blindfold was torn off and the sunlight blinds me for a few seconds until I could see clearly again.
I must have been here all night when the sun is already shining again.
But where am I exactly, I take the opportunity that the blindfold was finally off to look around the room as inconspicuously as I could.

Except for two chairs and some rubble, there wasn't much to see in the room, a small window from which the sunlight shed was filthy and opaque.

This was without a doubt one of the expired houses in the poorer parts of the city, abandoned years ago as it seems.

My gaze wandered from the room to the person I had already suspected, she was standing there with a psychopathic smile, my blindfold still in her hand.

"Do you already forget about me?"

She asked in a sweet tone which, given the situation we are in, only seemed even crazier.

"How could I forget you, given all the  nasty messages I've been getting from you all along?"

I asked whit a sarcastic tone and a face smile. Visibly not impressed by her.

I didn't intend to give her enough satisfaction to show her that I was afraid.

She frowned at me, certainly not expecting such an answer.
It wasn't even the words I said, it was just the surprise that I didn't collapsed and asked her to do anything to get out of here, like she expected.

I was not impressed by her actions and I wouldn't beg for my life.
I'm a fucking actor, I'll manage to pretend that I am not afraid until someone comes and saves me.

Yes, I was sure someone would come and save me, someone had to come, and someone would come, I was sure by now.

"Why did you have to let it get this far? If you had just listened to my instructions, none of this would have happened!"

She asked visible getting nervous.

"And then? Let me spoil my luck just because of a little brat like you who didn't understand a no? I say, getting angry rather than being scared anymore.

"You belong to me, not this whore you mess with. No one is good enough for you but me, can't you see it?" She screamed with a hurt expression on her face.

"Be careful what you say! You don't know me, you don't know Taehyung and we don't know you so what's all this shit about?" 

I asked getting even angrier because what she said about Tae.

She becomes silence for a while and seemed to be thinking about something.

"You don't remember me?" She whispered.

Directly after that she turned around and left the room without saying another word.

And I was left alone again, confused but at least more angry than scared and without the blindfold.

What the fuck is it what she wants from me ?
