Come Back To Me

¹³

"What?", Rona asked, trembling. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you", Eunbyeol answered. Rona stood up and pushed Eunbyeol out of the way. "Hey! Where are you going?", Eunbyeol asked her, but Rona was too far back to hear anything that came out of her mouth.

After finding out Eunbyeol knew about her and Seojin's relationship, she decided it'd be best to let Rona know before things get out of hand. Knowing Rona was sensitive to sudden changes, she called her home as soon as possible.

"Rona", Yunhee mumbled as she noticed the girl walk in. "Sit down, I have something to tell you", she motioned sitting her down and offering a cup of water. "To be honest... me and Seojin are...", Yunhee paused as Rona started talking, "I know". Yunhee, confused, looked down at Rona, "What?". "But, you're not mad?" She added. "No, not anymore", Rona answered, "I was just hoping I would hear it from you first".

Yunhee was relieved to have such an understanding daughter. She wanted to tell Seojin the happy news so she proceeded to invite her over before Rona came back from her walk. Whilst leaving the Hera Palace lobby, Rona bumped into Seojin. "Ms. Cheon?", Rona got a closer look. "Oh, hi Rona", Seojin replied politely, trying to leave shaking off her embarrassment. "I know you're going to see my mom", Rona told her. "Just don't do anything naughty, my moms usually the one who makes the first move", she added, walking off holding in her laugh. Seojin's eyes widened, "We.. Don't do that!", She tried shouting, but Rona ignored her, busy hiding her grin.

Yunhee opened the door for Seojin and they sat down. "I'm glad everything's sorted." Seojin told her. "Yeah me too, but what about the media?", Yunhee questioned. "F*ck the media, I'll quit my job if I have too", Seojin replied, laughing. "I have enough money to feed our next 3 generations", They both giggled.

A few months later.

Yunhee sat on a bench, waiting at the park, where she hoped to propose to Seojin. Seconds after arriving, she recieved a call from an unknown caller. Upon answering it, her phone slipped out of her hands as she went into a deep shock. As she tried calming herself down, she felt an arm sling over her mouth as she went unconscious.

Waking up in the backseat of a moving car, Yunhee looked to her side, noticing a tall man in a black suit holding a loaded gun. Winking her eyes awake, she noticeded a similarly dressed man, driving. Her mouth was taped shut and her limbs were ziplocked together.

Arriving at the park, Seojin looked around for Yunhee, but couldn't seem to find her. What she did find was a tiny black box with a bright diamond ring inside. "Who's is this?", she asked herself. Then she saw a label that read "Yunhee Oh". "How could she lose this here? I'll give it back to her and tell her to be more careful", Seojin mumbled, completely disregarding the words "Wedding Ring Inc." That followed Yunhee's name.

As the car came to a sudden stop, Yunhee's mind came to full alert. She was forcefully dragged and tied onto a chair in a dark room by the same two men which brought her there. She felt a row of fingers go through her silky hair. Turning around, she met Joo Dan Tae's eyes. Her level of fear began to rise as she noticed the dagger(knife) in his pocket. "Did you miss me?", Dan Tae chuckled, revealing his stained yellow teeth. "Also, I wonder what you've been up to", he added, caressing Yunhee's back as he circled around her. He wasn't supposed to get out of jail until 3 years from now, which made Yunhee suspicious. However she just assumed he paid off his bail or bribed the detention center. "What do you think you'll achieve by doing this?", Yunhee asked him, feeling a sharp pain from her bleeding wrists as she struggled to take off the ziplock that tied them together. "I heard you got yourself a girlfriend", He got closer and whispered in her ear. "What?" Yunhee replied, shocked. "Did you think I wouldn't know?", he chuckled. "What do you want!?", Yunhee shouted. "Give up your company", he demanded. A man entered the room and whispered into Dan Tae's ear, "Sir, this lady's phone has been ringing for a long time, do you want me to turn it off or pick it up?". Dan Tae looked at him, annoyed, "Aish! Just give me the phone you good for nothing freak!". Dan Tae violently yanked the phone out of his hand and looked at the notifications. "41 missed calls... looks like this person really cares about you", He told Yunhee, whilst laughing. "Tell her to come to this address I just sent her, or else she'll wnd up as dead as you", he threatened. Yunhee picked up her phone nervously and dialed Seojin's number, changing the voice of her tone to sound less worried. "Yah! Oh Yunhee! What took you so long to pick up? I thought something happened to you!" Seojin exclaimed, still at the park. "Oh, Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you", Yunhee told her, calmly. "Tell her before I do", Dan Tae whispered loudly into Yunhee's ear. "What was that? Are you sure you're okay?", Seojin asked as her worries rose up. There was no response from Yunhee. "Let's video call" Seojin demanded. Joo Dan Tae snatched the phone from Yunhees hand and hung up. He then proceeded to send a video call request to Seojin. Seojin answered and noticed Yunhee tied down to a chair, bleeding from her limbs as she struggled to move.
"Oh Yun Hee...?", Seojin observed and got a closer look, barely being able to recognize Yunhee with the amount of tape and smeared blood covering her mouth.
