Mina's P.O.V
In my unconscious state, I entered a a soothing dream. I was holding Leo's hand and we were headed somewhere that made Leo eager. It was the streets of Seoul but for the first time he wasn't disguised. We walked and walked and them suddenly I lost Leo. I looked around frantically and when I finally found him, he was at the end of the aisle I was walking down on. I was almost there when a bullet went through Leo's chest. I screamed for help but all the guests had disappeared. I held his head against my chest and prayed that it wasn't real. His red blood seeped through my dress. His eyes then closed and his breathing ceased.
"Leo!" I said awakening from my nightmare. Where am I? I observed my surroundings to see myself in a stereotypical abduction environment. The cold, empty ware house. Me tied to a worn-out, wooden chair. The raspy rope around my wrists and ankles. At least I didn't have duct tape on my mouth.
"Well, well. Looks like Sleeping Beauty decided to finally awake from her slumber." A familiar female voice said as it crept out of the shadows.
"Min Ji? What are you doing here?" I said grinding my teeth.
"What am I doing here? What am I doing here? That's a good question." She said as she played with a switch blade. "I hope you do realize that you could have saved us both from this pitiful situation. If only, if only you would have just stayed away from Leo. Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate all those years of friendship and they will forever have a place somewhere deep, deep, deep in my non existent heart. Say, how bout' a little offer? You leave Leo, and I won't kill you?" She said grabbing both sides of my chair almost throwing me back.
"How about you put that knife down and we talk about this life civilized people?" I said believing that I knew her well enough.
"You want me to set the knife down? Sure. " She said as she ah- as she stabbed it right through my thigh. "So what did you want to talk about?" She asked.
"You... you really think Leo will ever love..... ever love you?" I said trying to bear the pain and hold back the tears.
"Why not? He did almost sleep with me the not even 3 days ago." She said as she took out another switch blade.
"He... he did what?" I asked not believing my ears.
"Just as you heard it hon'. If it weren't for that always filial dog of yours Hak Yeon, I would have let him gotten his way with me in every. single. way. Something that Ms. Goody Two Shoes here isn't willing to do. But how about we train you? You know, give you a little experience." She said as she stabbed the second blade in my other thigh. "What are you waiting for? Get out here!" She called someone else.
A man not older than 30 came out from behind some crates. He looked a bit drunk, a bit out of his mind. His presence alone sent chills down my spine.
"Let me show you how it's done." He said unbuttoning his shirt.
"No, no! Please don't! Please!" I pleaded as he cut the ropes and forced me to the ground.
"Trust me, you'll like it. It'll be painful at first but then it'll be like a massage." He said disgustingly.
While pinning my arms down with one hand he worked at my shirt with the other. One button at a time. He finally got the last button, exposing my pink bra and big breasts.
"Please don't! No! Leo!!!" I yelled pleadingly as the man dug his face into my breasts while Min Ji watched amusingly. The man removed the knifes from my thighs and tried to unbutton my jeans but failed to do so with one hand.
Leo's P.O.V
After searching the CCTVs of the park, we were able to find the black Audi and track it down.
"Can't you go any faster?" I asked Hwa Young.
"Not if we don't want to get stopped for speeding." She said as I looked at the speedometer. 80mph.
I suddenly felt a pain in my heart. I knew something was wrong with Mina.
"Please just hurry! " I pleaded Hwa Young.
"Hold on." She said raising the speed. 100mph. "We're here!" She announced.
I couldn't wrap my head around the situation. The warehouse was so unlike my mother. My mother usually delt with people by offering them money, if not sending them away. But not this.
We walked in-
"Mina!" I said in horror when I saw a man on top of a tortured, exposed, frightened Mina.
"Leo!" She said bawling.
I ran over to the man and punched him right in the nose. I kept beating him until he was unconscious. After I was done with him, I ran over to my Mina.
"Aga baby, what did they do to you?" I said as painful tears ran down my cheeks.
"Oppa," Mina said as I sat her up and she closed her shirt. I cupped her face in my hands. I tried to wipe her tears away but they were never ending. Her lip had been busted open. I kissed her sucking the blood off. I tried to help her up but she couldn't stand. I hadn't seen the blood stains on her thighs. I lifted her bridal style and tried to place her on the chair. I went to help Hwa Young fight off the other henchmen. A couple fled and the others had been taken care of. I returned for Mina who was slowly losing conciousness due to the loss of blood.
"Mina!" I said as I ran over.
"Leo." She said. "I knew you would come to save me. When we get home I have a couple of fights to pick with you. " She said as I lifted her again.
We were heading towards the car where Hwa Young awaited us, when ah- I accidently dropped Mina even I felt a prick and then a warm liquid come out of my arm. I had been shot.
"What a touching scene we have here. A little princess in distress is saved by her prince charming. Well let me tell you Leo, this fairytale ends a little differently. This time around the princess didn't live happily ever after, oh no far from that, this time the wicked villain does. How about you leave her here and we go finish what we started the other day?" Min Ji said viciously.
"You disgust me." I said as I spat on the floor.
"Well if I can't have you, no one can." She said pointing a gun at me.
The moment I heard the gun shot, I closed my eyes but I never felt the shot. Instead I heard a second shot and then a third. I opened my eyes and there was Mina. She had stood up with the last of her strength and thrown herself on me. She was the one that had gotten shot first. The second had been Hwa Young shooting the gun out of Min Ji's hand and the last one was also Hwa Young towards Min Ji but in the leg si that she couldn't run.
"Mina! Mina! Wae?! Mina?! Why did you do it? You should've let me get shot!" I shouted.
"Don't worry I'll be fine, I love you too much to die right now. Trust me. I have to go to the hospital anyway, and if you got shot you'd probably pass out again." She whispered jokingly as her hand, colder than usual, caressed my face ands I indulged and kissed it. And then it fell to the ground. But I trusted her. The ambulance came and her vitals were a bit weak but she was ok.
