"We configured the location she sent you on our devices. It's on an isolated hill and almost an hour away from here, looks like she has something in mind", Mark explains.

We met up in the company, that way if Laura has someone watching me, nothing would seem out of the ordinary.

"I figured."

He eyes my disoriented state, probably sympathizing with me, but he doesn't remark, instead, he breaks down the plan to me.

"So, you're going to meet her there right at midnight", he points at the geographical display of the hill he has on his IPad.

"We are going to be surrounding you discretely. I'm bringing my team with me and another troop for backup. All you have to do is stall her for a bit till we make sure your girlfriend is safe with us... Sounds good?"

"Yeah", I nod.

"One more thing", he reaches for the bag he was carrying and takes out a bulletproof vest and an earpiece.

"Wear this under your shirt, just for precautions, and the earpiece will make it easier for me to communicate with you."

"Okay."

We both rise from our seats and shake hands, "Thank you, hyung. I appreciate it."

He grins, "I'm glad you called, you made the right decision."

I hope so. If our plan fails and she finds out about this, the tables will turn on us. And I dread what's going to happen afterward.

"Don't worry, man. We will bring her back to you safely", he pats my shoulder.

Mark then leaves and I am left alone with my wandering thoughts in my recording studio.

I slump on the couch and stare up at the roof, latching onto my phone in case that psycho called again.

This heavy pain inside my chest is only getting worse.

I can't believe all this has happened in the span of a few hours.

Just this morning, I was cradling her naked body in my arms. She slept so peacefully, looking like an angel.

Her natural waves cascaded down her back smoothly. Her nose crinkled cutely. Her cheeks were pink and puffy from our flushed bodies. Her lips plump and swollen because of how much we kissed.

Even in her sleep, she's the most beautiful creature I have ever seen.

Once she opened her eyes and looked at me, I was falling in love all over again. Then she smiled at me and those dimples sent my heart into a marathon.

What a fucking idiot I was to leave her all alone on the porch! I shouldn't have risked it... She would've been here with me now. She wouldn't have been hurt.

If only I remembered to tuck the box in my pocket before we went downstairs.

I take the box out and open it. The ring was put in a safe, but then I kept it with me when we got back together. I thought I'd spontaneously propose to her, but then I decided to arrange a proper proposal.

She deserves a romantic and unforgettable proposal. I know how much it means to her, for a passionate person like Iris, so I want to make it very special and memorable.

I didn't want to do anything without her father's consent. I asked for her hand in marriage a couple of weeks ago and he gladly agreed. I told him to keep it a secret because I wanted to surprise her, but also so that Laura couldn't find out.
