"I hope you'll enjoy the services I have just for you." He said with a psychotic smile etched wide on his face."

You visibly shivered at his comment. Millions of thoughts rushed through your mind, each worse than the previous and soon enough, you started hyperventilating. Your heartbeat picked up while your palms were sweating excessively. It was slowly getting hard to breath, vision blurred from tears of fright. Everything around you was drowned in silence as you couldn't even focus on breathing correctly.

Suddenly all your restrains were gone and you were in a pair of strong arms, engulfing you in a warm embrace. Without thinking, to clung onto the unknown person, clutching the shirt with trembling hands. The person ran soft circles on your back and you melted into the sweet touch.

After a while when you finally started breathing normally, heart rate down and everything back to normal, you broke the hug only to realize it was Minho who held you so delicately, as if you'd break from the slightest force. You were confused as you stared in dark eyes, trying to find out what he was thinking.

Does that mean he doesn't mean to harm me? No, I think it is too early to jump to conclusions.

You stared at with hostile eyes, not trusting those beautiful dark almond eyes as they stared back at you. You could see a hint of guilt in his eyes but you thought it was just his freakishly good acting skills.

"What do you want from me? Why did kidnap me? And why did you comfort me just now? Just what are you thinking?!" You asked him all your doubts at once, unable to hold back the tears that collected in your eyes. You trusted him, but he broke it and within a few hours itself. You felt foolish for ever trusting a total stranger and relying on him.

"Yuki listen I-" Minho started but you cut him off. "No! I don't wanna hear anything!" As much you loved that gentle voice of his, you knew for sure all he is gonna say to you are sweet lies. Nothing else.

"Please! I never meant to hurt you! I-" You couldn't believe what he was saying.

"Never meant to hurt me?! You literally chained me Minho and laughed when I was struggling with them! You laughed like a psycho! How do you expect me to believe you?!" You yelled at him, tears of frustration rolling down your cheeks.

Minho's face fell. It had gotten too quiet after your outburst and the only sound audible was of your sniffles and hiccups.

He was about to say something when the door of the 'basement' swung open. Your head whipped in the direction of the door and you saw a boy, a little younger than Minho walk up to you.

He had blonde hair, brown eyes and freckles all over his cheeks. He reached out a hand towards you but you flinched, afraid of his next move.

"Minho Hyung, you scared the poor girl to death here. Could you be more gentlemanly in handling a woman?" The boy complained as Minho's face twisted into an unreadable expression.

"By the way, my name is Felix. I already know yours and I just want you to know that we don't mean to cause you harm. You see, the situation at hand is a lot more complicated than it seems. All I can say for now is, we are not going to hurt you." Felix said sweetly, his eyes travelled to your hands and when he saw the bruises on your wrists which were formed while struggling against the chains, his face changed completely.

"OH SHIT! YOUR HAND! WE NEED TO GET IT TREATED! CALL AN AMBULANCE!" He yelled all of a sudden, causing you to flinch at the loud sound as it echoed off of the empty walls of the compact room.

"You're overreacting Lixie, she'll be fine with just a bit of first aid." Another voice sounded and from the shadows emerged a really intimidating looking guy. He seemed to look older than Minho and his eyes were hooded. He looked ready to kill and you instinctively backed up, hitting your back with the wall.

"Do I look that scary?" He chuckled but you kept your guard up, not trusting a single person in front of you. They, especially Minho, could do anything but you still would end up having doubts.

"Calm down will ya? They really mean no harm." A voice spoke up and you instantly recognized it as your brother's.

"Jisung...? Why are you here? You know these kidnappers?" You couldn't believe the sight in front of you. Your innocent brother was standing right next to people who actually kidnapped you.

You were speechless. You felt betrayed. Your own brother planned your kidnapping? But why? You had no answer and it broke your heart further, he had no remorse on his face, rather he looked pleased.

"Why....?" You broke down in tears and Jisung immediately hugged you tight.

"Look sis, I have a good reason of why you're here. Just hear us out please. You don't trust them? It's fine. But do you trust me?" Jisung asked and although you weren't fully sure if you should actually trust him or not, you decided to trust Sungie, your brother, not Jisung the friends of these kidnappers.

"Yeah, I trust you. But you have a lot of explaining to do." You demanded and Jisung let out a sigh of relief as he softly held your hand. He gave you a genuine smile and you couldn't help but return it.

"If you're done admiring your sister, can we get her hands treated? Also, I'm sorry about that. Really... " Minho sassed but soon faltered when he saw the pure look of betrayal in your eyes. He looked down at his lap, as if regretting every action.

You took in a deep breath. Taking the first aid kit from Felix's hand, you placed it in Minho's lap. He looked up to see your arm extended in his direction with a death glare.

"You caused it, you treat it."

Minho smiled and you couldn't help but believe that it was genuine.

No! You can never be too sure.

You caught yourself falling for his charms again and in all honesty, it was hard not to. He was just so strikingly beautiful not mention his voice. His smooth voice was like oil on tiled floor, you were bound to slip.

The antiseptic burned and you flinched. You hated getting first aid because of this particular feeling and kept trying to retract your hand only for Minho to hold it tighter and pull it closer to him. He made sure not to hold your wrist too tightly as he was afraid he might hurt you more than he already had.

Once he was done with disinfecting your wounds, he wrapped a gauze piece around your wrist along with a cream to help with the healing of the wound. He tied it securely and placed your wrist gently on your lap, his entire attention on cleaning up the mess he made while cutting the gauze.

You got up to your feet with Jisung's help and looked him straight in the eyes.

"Now. Explain."
