LOST LOVE || JIKOOK✅

30.What should I do now?

I sat alone in my small house, surrounded by darkness and the constant ticking of the clock on the wall. My mind was a jumbled mess of emotions, ranging from anger to despair, as I tried to come up with a plan to escape the clutches of the loan sharks who were breathing down my neck.

It had been a constant struggle to make ends meet ever since my parents passed away, leaving me to fend for myself in this harsh and unforgiving world. My father took out a loan for his farming, but unfortunately, he passed away before he could pay it back.

I took a deep breath and braced myself for the worst because even my uncle had been cruel to me lately.He had always been cold towards my family, and I didn't expect any sympathy from him now that we were in trouble.

"Uncle?" I said cautiously when he stood in front of me.

"Jimin. I want my money back that your father lent me," he said in a stern tone.

My heart sank even further. My father had borrowed a lot of money from my uncle to pay for my school fees and to buy a land for farming. I knew that my uncle was just like the loan sharks, only concerned with getting his money back and not caring about our struggles.

"I'm sorry, uncle. I don't have the money right now. I'm trying my best to come up with it," I replied, my voice shaking with fear and desperation.

"Look kido, the bankers already started asking me about the loan which was supposed to be paid by your father and why do I have to pay the loan? So it's better you settle my amount," he said, his tone getting angrier.

I felt a lump form in my throat as I don't know what is he upto.

"How can you be so cruel, Uncle? I just lost my parents and you are demanding the money? I'm only 16 years old, not a man in his mid-twenties. Where will I go, and who can I ask for money?" I cried out, unable to contain my emotions any longer. I couldn't take this anymore.

"I don't care about a single fuck about how will you arrange or who will you beg. But I need my money back in a week. And yes you are sixteen years kido, and I'm sure, you will get a good pay in red zone area. " He shouted at me, making my skin all goosed in nervousness and fear.

"Wh--at? " My voice cracked when I heard his confession.

"What? You are already showing off your body in Tiktok then what is there to stop you not sell your body? " He told me with his gritted teeth.

I clenched my fist and glared at him with tears in my eyes.

"Why? Did I trigger your anger issues? Do you want to slap me hard?" he chuckled and stepped towards me. I backed away, hitting the wall behind me.

"A person like you shouldn't have feelings or pride in the first place. " He whispered on my ears and I blankly looked at him with my tears eyes.

"You should have thanked your father for giving birth to you Jimin. " He said to me and he caressed my cheeks and neck, which I stood numb infront of him.

"Make use of your body. And trust me you will have more clients than your Tiktok followers." He finally said to me and left me alone.

Tears streamed down my face as I thought about how hopeless and helpless I felt. It was like I had nowhere to turn, no one to confide in or seek help from. I was all alone in my struggles, and the thought of facing them on my own was daunting. How can he ask me to sell my body? Why is money important than me? What should I do now? Do I have to sell Myself or to kill myself?
