"how can i go back home?"

it took Hongjoong a moment to comprehend what the female in front of him were talking about.

"Go back what?"

"Home,"

"This is your home,"

Y/n looked at him dumbfounded by his statement. Is he serious? She thought.

"No, i wanna go back home, my OWN House," she stressed the word Own so Hongjoong could get it.

"Why?"

"What do you mean why? I have to go back to where I belong, i have my family there," Y/n said.

"We're your family too the moment you stepped on our land, our territory,"

Y/n looked at him still bewildered why he said those kind of things.

"We're sorry to say this Y/n but once you arrive here you won't be able to back home," Hongjoong said with an emotionless face.

Y/n's heart almost dropped. Everything around her seemed to be spinning as she couldn't take the information from Hongjoong.

"No... there might be a way for me to go back home... THERE MIGHT BE! You can't be serious Hongjoong! I have a brother and friends out there!" She sobbed.

There was no way she would stay here for the rest of her life. These men might be kind enough to lend her a shelter but they were more than just a human. She barely knew them who knew what they were capable of. She would be lying if she said the mansion and the atmosphere around here didn't give off a strange and creepy vibe.

Hongjoong quickly came beside Y/n and Wiped away her tears that were streaming down her face with his thumbs. Lucky the makeup didn't get ruined.

"Shh~ you'll get used to it eventually," Hongjoong said.

"Your brother and your friends are safe out there," he added.

Y/n just continued bawling her eyes out like a baby in Hongjoong's embrace.

"Staying with us isn't that bad, is it? We provide you everything you need, we'll give you everything you want, tell me what else do you need? We'll give it to you, just stay with us," Hongjoong persuaded.

"i just wanna go home, why do you guys want me to stay with you?! what is so special about me?!"

"you're special, Y/N,"

Y/n looked at him. her eyes were quiet puffy because of crying and her nose got a bit red. Hongjoong really wanted to pinch her at the moment but because of the situation they were in he refrained himself from doing so.

"what is it do you want from me?" Y/n asked while staring at him the eyes.

Hongjoong didn't say anything but he just gave her a soft warm smile. of course he was just putting on a facade.

"tell me what do you want?!" Y/N shouted.

"Y/N, everyone from your world who come here never live more than 10 hours, and if they do, they still won't get out alive," Hongjoong told.

"but you, how many days have you been here? look at you still walking around and breathing fine, if it wasn't for me you would've been dead since the first day you came here,"

Y/n couldn't utter a word as she was so shocked with the sudden news. her hands were trembling so bad but she tried to calm herself down.

"so i-i wasn't the first one here?"

"you're not the first one here Y/n, in fact there were more than 100 people who used to come here and none of them make it out alive, but you..."

Hongjoong caressed Y/N's hair

"You're the luckiest among them, my dear,"
