When I woke up, I realized that I was tied to a chair in a dimly-lit room. As my eyes adjusted to the light, the second thing I realized was that Jang Hanseok and his cronies, Mr. Han and Choi Myunghee were standing a few feet away from me.
I snarled, "You're making a grave mistake! What do you want from me?!". Mr. Han said, "Quiet! We know you've taken the documents. And that you're a mafia. Tell me!". Choi Myunghee said, " She's not going to answer, move!". Myunghee swung a hockey stick at me and I clenched my teeth to not shout in pain.
Jang Hanseok said, 'Answer me! Where are my documents?!". I said soothingly, "All you care about is your documents, don't you? You have no idea that we've taken more from you than you know." Hanseok's face went pale as he said, "What? Tell me this instant!!!". Hanseok swung a baseball bat at my face and I closed my eyes, feeling the blow reverberate through my skull.
I laughed despite the painful ringing in my ears and said, "You should take care of your things better. It was almost too easy. And I thought my enemy was powerful." Mr. Han said, "How dare you talk back to us?! What have you taken from us?!". Myunghee swung her hockey stick one more time and I winced.
She screamed, "You're a monster, you should've run back to Italy when you had the chance!". I said, blood dripping from my mouth, "Se sono veramente cattivo, è colpa tua(If I am indeed evil, it's because of you). Dopotutto, il pugno più forte arriva da dietro(After all, the strongest punch comes from behind)." Hanseok shouted, "In Korean, so we can understand!".
For the next hour, they took turns hitting me until I had almost passed out. As I was beginning to lose consciousness, I heard a familiar voice say, "La fermati!(Stop it!)". It was Vincenzo. I struggled to open my eyes as I dimly saw my captors running away at the sight of Vincenzo.
The moment they left, Vincenzo ran over and touched my head gingerly. I winced and he quickly removed his hand as he said, "Jiyoung, are you alright?! Look at me!". I said, my words dragging, "You came....How?". Vincenzo said, "Youngho came up to give you some tteokbokki from his mother. But all he found was a package containing pig's blood and a warning from Jang Hanseok."
I nodded as I slipped further into unconsciousness. The last thing I heard before I blacked out was Vincenzo's cry of alarm.
