Come Back To Me

¹⁴

  "It took you quite a long time to recognize your girlfriend, Cheon Seojin", Joo Dan Tae smirked, as he took control over the camera. "Joo Dan Tae?", Seojin nervously spoke to her phone. "Go to the address I just sent you, or else you'll regret it", Dan Tae chuckled. He looked down at Yunhee and ripped the remaining tape on her mouth, "Any last words?". Yunhee looked up at the camera, "Don't listen to him, don't come here!", She cried out, hoping Seojin would listen to her. Joo Dan Tae hung up the phone without notice and gave Yunhee a tranquilizer shot that knocked her out in no time.

  Seojin, stood still biting her nails anxiously after Joo Dan Tae hung up the call. She grabbed her car and drove as fast as she possibly could.

  Joo Dan Tae had his men transport Yunhee into another room, which had a giant empty indoor pool. He tossed her unconscious body onto the hard concrete bottom carelessly, shaking her awake. He then tied her arms onto the of the empty pool. "Let's have some fun, why don't we?", He smirked and turned on the hose that slowly started filling up the pool. "I'll give you everything just stop!" Yunhee cried out helplessly, as the water almost reached her neck. "Why? Don't give up now it's just getting interesting", he said.

  Seojin arrived at the address sent by Joo Dan Tae. She walked into the warehouse that stood in front of her. Joo Dan Tae sprinted away after hearing her footsteps. Seojin carefully listened for Yunhee's cries, but not a single word was mumbled. "Did he send me elsewhere on purpose?", she thought. She came into the dark room and noticed the pool, which was almost all the way filled up. Walking further down, she saw Yunhee, battling the rope that tied her down in the water. "Oh Yunhee!", Seojin panicked. Instinctively, she jumped into the water, desperately trying to untie the thick thread. Getting the rope loose enough, Seojin grabbed Yunhee's arm and pulled her out of the pool. Coughing up the water that she had inhaled, Yunhee managed to get her breath back.

  Rona, tired after spending all day with Seokhoon, finally managed to arrive back home. "Mom? Are you here?", Rona called out, worried as it was getting late and her mother should have been home by now.

  "Aish, that crazy woman got here quicker than I expected", Joo Dan Tae cursed out, as he hid in his car.

Yunhee and Seojin both snapped back into reality and began searching for an exit, hoping to avoid Joo Dan Tae's guards. "We should report this to the police first, do you have your phone?", Yunhee quietly asked Seojin. She handed  Yunhee her phone and she made a report to the location they were at and described their surroundings.

  "Wait", Yunhee stopped walking. "What? We have to go hurry", Seojin anticipated. Yunhee felt her hand all around her neck, desperately searching for her necklace. "I lost something. No, I think he took it.", Yunhee panicked, "I can't lose it! I have to go back.". Seojin worried, looked at Yunhee's anxious eyes, "Lost what?". Yunhee replied, "My key, I always wear it on my necklace". "We can't go back because of a key!", Seojin continued walking, pulling her alongside. "It's the key to my safe with all the ownership rights to my company! It's what he wants and I cant let him take it.", Yunhee raised her voice, running back to the warehouse. Seojin was left speechless. After a few seconds, she nervously made her way following Yunhee's footsteps.

  "You think she realized it's missing yet?", Joo Dan Tae smirked, holding a bright silver key attached to a necklace.

  Running out of breath, Yunhee stopped and observed the scenery, noticing Joo Dan Tae inside his car. "Yunhee slow dow-", Seojin spoke to Yunhee unaware of Dan Tae's presence. Luckily, Yunhee was quick to cover her mouth. Joo Dan Tae's eyes were then lured towards the bush the two women were hiding behind. Unbothered, Dan Tae ordered his secretary to check out the situation. In panic, Seojin acted rapidly, running out reaching to Dan Tae's car. Climbing onto the hood (front) of his vehicle, Seojin gave Dan Tae a stern look, driving his attention away from Yunhee. Joo Dan Tae smirked back, starting the engine, proceeding to swerve the car, turning the wheel back and forth harshly. Yunhee ran out of sight, calling Seojin over with a hand signal. The other woman insisted Yunhee to go further into safety, before she made her move. Suddenly, Dan Tae spun the car around, causing Seojin to lose her grip. "Seojin~ah!", Yunhee cried out in despair as she saw Seojin fly off the car, being too far back to help.
