Jungwon leaned against the park bench, a small smile playing on his lips. The soft breeze rustled the leaves around him as he watched Bora, her laughter carrying through the air like music. They were just teenagers then, their worries seemingly distant in the warm embrace of that summer day.
"Bora, catch!" he called, tossing a frisbee in her direction.
Bora's eyes lit up, and she leaped to catch it, her fingertips brushing against the plastic disk before it fell to the ground. She laughed, a bright and infectious sound that made Jungwon's heart skip a beat.
"You're supposed to catch it, not let it hit the ground," he teased, a playful glint in his eyes.
Bora stuck out her tongue, a mischievous grin on her face. "I'll get it next time, just you wait."
And she did. Their laughter echoed in the park as they played, carefree and lost in the simple joy of the moment. It was a snapshot of a time when life was uncomplicated, and the world seemed full of endless possibilities.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm golden hue over everything, they found themselves sitting side by side on the bench. The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, and the sounds of cicadas provided a soothing backdrop to their conversation.
"Jungwon, do you ever think about the future?" Bora asked, her gaze fixed on the horizon.
Jungwon's fingers traced patterns on the bench, his expression thoughtful. "Sometimes. But right now, I'm content just being here with you."
Bora turned to him, her eyes softening. "Me too. It's funny how the future can be so uncertain, yet this moment feels so right."
Jungwon nodded, a gentle smile on his lips. "Yeah, I guess we can't control everything, but we can make the most of what we have."

In the faint morning light, Bora's heart raced as she confronted the reality of her situation. She sat in a dimly lit room, the air thick with tension, facing the man who had taken her captive – Jake. His eyes bore into her, revealing a turbulent mix of emotions.
"Look at you, Bora," Jake taunted, circling her like a predator. "You thought you were so clever, fooling everyone around you. But you can't fool me."
Bora's voice quivered, a mix of fear and anger bubbling within her. "Let me go, Jake. This isn't right."
His laughter echoed in the room, a chilling soundtrack to her desperation. "Oh, but Bora, you see, I hold all the cards now."
Bora's eyes widened, her heart pounding faster. "What do you mean?"
Jake's grin turned malicious, his words dripping with venom. "I know about Soobin."
Bora's breath caught, her mind reeling as the memories of her brother flooded back. She had tried so hard to bury that painful past, to move forward and find a way to live with the guilt that weighed on her conscience.
"Did you like the strawberry cake and drink?" Jake said with a smirk on his face.
"Jungwon!" Bora shouts,
"Fucking Jungwon.. What does he have better than me? What is it that he has and I don't? You never saw me, Bora. I've been loving you for so long, but you never paid me any attention," Jake's voice quivered, a mixture of frustration and hurt in his words.
Bora's eyes widened in shock. She had no idea that Jake had carried such deep feelings for her. Fear clenched at her chest as she tried to comprehend the intensity of his emotions.
"You can't force someone to feel something they don't," Bora's voice trembled, her words an attempt to reason with him.
Jake's expression darkened, his tone growing cold. "Oh, I'm not forcing you to love me. I'm simply ensuring you have no other choice."
Bora's heart sank. She understood his twisted plan – he intended to manipulate her into a relationship against her will, driven by his own insecurities and desires. It was a chilling scheme that sent shivers down her spine.
"You see, Bora, you think you can escape your past? That your secret is safe? I don't think so." Jake leaned in closer, his voice low and menacing. "And if you dare to protest, if you even think of resisting me, I'll make sure everyone knows what you did."
Bora's eyes brimmed with tears, a mixture of fear and shame swirling within her. She had never imagined that her past would come back to haunt her like this, that her actions could be used against her in such a sinister way.
"You're sick, Jake," she hissed through gritted teeth. "You're blackmailing me?"
Jake's laughter was like a knife to her heart, his eyes gleaming with a twisted satisfaction. "Call it what you want, Bora. But remember, I have the power now."
As the night wore on, Bora's mind raced for an escape plan, but Jake seemed to anticipate her every move. The minutes dragged on like hours, and fear weighed heavily on her shoulders.
When dawn broke, Jake let Bora free, her heart racing as she fled back to safety.

At school the next day, Bora's steps held a purpose as she approached her friends, her face a mask of normalcy. Hana and Minji exchanged knowing glances, sensing that something was amiss.
"Hey, guys," Bora greeted, forcing a smile. "I have something to share."
Hana's brows furrowed. "What is it?"
Taking a deep breath, Bora confessed, "I have a boyfriend now."
Minji's eyes widened in surprise. "Seriously? When did this happen?"
Bora shrugged, feigning nonchalance. "Last night. We met up, and it just clicked."
Hana and Minji exchanged puzzled looks, sensing that there was more beneath the surface. But before they could dig deeper, the conversation shifted, and Bora's revelation took a backseat.
"So it wasn't Jungwon?" Minji asked confused.
Unbeknownst to Bora, Jake had wasted no time in flaunting his newfound relationship. He approached Jungwon and his friends, a triumphant grin on his face as he revealed his supposed conquest.
"Boys, I have something to tell y'all, .. I'm dating Bora now," Jake announced, his voice dripping with arrogance.
Jungwon's fists clenched, a surge of anger and jealousy swirling within him. He turned away, unwilling to give Jake the satisfaction of a reaction.
Walking away, he couldn't shake the feeling that Jake was playing a twisted game. Determined to uncover the truth, he vowed to get to the bottom of the situation that seemed to be spiraling out of control.

Back at home, Bora sat with Hana and Minji, her heart heavy with the burden of her secret. She knew she had to explain everything, to unveil the truth behind her sudden relationship and the nightmarish events she had endured.
Taking a deep breath, Bora began to share her story, every word a weight off her chest. As her friends listened, their expressions shifted from confusion to shock, the pieces of the puzzle finally falling into place.
"Jake kidnapped you and is forcing you to be his girlfriend?!" Both Hana and Minji were shocked.
