out of the woods [yeonjun x reader]

chapter 10: more

"Do you like sandwiches?" Jisoo asks and I look up from my spot back at the table Yunho had me sit at earlier.
Except Yunho is nowhere to be seen, neither is Yeonjun.
I can only wonder what sort of reprimand he'll receive thanks to my actions.
Still, i can't say I wouldn't have tried to escape all over again, given the chance.
"Um...yeah." I reply meekly, wishing I could just evaporate into the air.
Seeing Jisoo's long, beautiful dark hair only further reminds me of my own personal state.
I self-consciously wrap my arms around myself, trying to make myself as small and invisible as possible.
Jisoo offers a small, almost pitiful smile as her long, slender fingers nimbly put together a mouth-watering turkey and cheese sandwich.
I try my best not to lust after the simple bread, lunch meat and sliced cheese combo but my stomach grumbling and gnawing at me non-stop is enough to send me over the edge.
With my gaze zeroed in on the sandwich she's placed delicately on a glass plate, cut into triangles, I don't notice another presence enter into the dining area.
Jisoo walks around the counter, plate in hand and a glass of water in the other.
I feel so sick, I may cry.
I try my best to contain myself as she gently sets the dishes down in front of me and delicately follows with a cloth napkin.
"I hope you like it." She whispers. "I know it's not much."
Her voice is so quiet I can barely make it out but I just nod rapidly. "Thank you, thank you so much."
She glances anxiously over my head, but I'm too focused to notice anything else.
"You're welcome." She bows slightly before silently walking away from the table.
I take just a second to take in the meal I'm about to eat and whisper a silent thank-you.
To be completely honest, I've never been a fan of turkey and cheese. But when I sink my teeth into that first bite of sandwich—I've never been a bigger supporter of lunch meat and dairy.
I hungrily take another bite, not bothering to finish chewing or swallowing the first.
Once I down that, I gulp about half the glass of water. To say it's refreshing would be the understatement of the century.
For once in this entire ordeal, I find myself in a state of bliss.
Eating a normal meal in an almost normal way. Typically I would savor my food way more but right now, this is fuel. Fuel my body desperately needs.
Just as I polish off the first half of my sandwich, my stomach aches for more.
Hungry, desperate.
And so, I reach for the second half, anticipating another thirty seconds of bliss.
My satiation disappears before my eyes like a poof as suddenly my half sandwich is swiped from underneath my hand.
I jump, firstly caught off guard by someone else in the room and then feel the half of sandwich that's already in my stomach, turn as my gaze trails from the hand holding my sandwich, to the veiny arm, to the broad shoulder blade, to the chiseled jaw and smirking lips.
Not again.
I feel the frustration already begin to build in my chest.
"Well, well, y/n. Enjoying your food?" Yeonjun muses, casually sitting himself on the edge of the table.
"I was." I state in a hostile tone, my eyes continually dropping to the bread in his hand.
"Hmm." He hums, following my gaze and in turn, begins taunting me with the sandwich. "You remember what I told you, don't you?"
I shrug my shoulders indifferently but my focus is hungrily fixated on the food he's withholding from me.
How could I forget?
"Hm?" He waves the sandwich in front of me and I set my lips into a thin line, insanely frustrated while trying to keep my composure.
"Yes." I force myself to say. "I remember."
"What did I tell you?"
He really just has to antagonize me.
"I'm only eating because you let me." I choke out, hoping that my compliance will return the sandwich into my possession.
The corner of his mouth turns up, an act of satisfaction.
Good, it worked.
He offers the sandwich back to me yet when I eagerly reach to take it, he pulls it back.
I know my face betrays every emotion I'm experiencing which only causes him to chuckle. "Oh, come on, y/n. You just said it yourself—you're only eating because I let you...so open your mouth."
Fuck no.
"No." I audibly say and he raises an eyebrow. "Oh, you're not hungry anymore?"
I heap curses upon curses in my mind.
"Open. Your. Mouth." He repeats.
I shake my head, clamping my lips together.
"Fine." He shrugs carelessly. "I don't give a fuck if you eat or not."
I feel a stress sweat begin on my forehead.
"But just know, you won't eat anything. Unless it comes from my hand." He tilts his head to the side, almost daring me to challenge him.
To snatch the sandwich out of his hold just so he has an excuse to rough me up again. Not that he really needs an excuse.
I remain silent, weighing my options.
"Come on, y/n." He murmurs enticingly as he offers the sandwich to me again, holding it near my mouth. "Part those pretty lips for me."
I feel like I was balancing on a tightrope and his words just knocked me off.
Caught off guard, my lips do indeed part.
"More."
I scramble to find a sliver of dignity left in my body but again, all I find is more hunger, sleep deprivation, nausea and misery.
So, fuck it.
I do.
I open my mouth and with that first bite, I feel the heavy weight of shame and self-hate drop on my shoulders.
However, as I tentatively begin filling my hungry stomach again, I find myself eating out of his hand completely shameless and with zero hesitation.
He doesn't say a word, I feel his eyes burning into me—watching me—but I'm too satiated to care.
I'll let him have his stupid power trip.
I'm still in control.
With the last bite, Yeonjun retracts his hand from me and stands up, no particular expression displayed on his face.
I look down, the weight on my shoulders getting heavier and heavier.
"Good job." He sets his hand on my head for a brief moment. "You're learning."
With that, he's gone and I sit in the dead quiet, dumbfounded.
I'm...learning??
Learning what??
His fucking game?
I want to scoff in disbelief at his audacity but I can't bring myself to.
Instead, I swallow hard.
What if he's right?
