Jia ran inside the building, dropping to her knees in front of the man who held her only family in the world.

Her breath came in short gasps. She had traveled all day only to reach Busan by nightfall, had driven faster than she ever had in her life.

She looked up to see the man responsible for her misery.

Choi Kang Dae sat in an ostentatious ornate chair playing with dice. He laughed as he took in the frantic look on Jia's face.

"It's funny how you women just come running to me on your own. All I have to do is lay a teeny tiny trap and you all but jump into the net yourselves." He laughed again.

The sound grated on Jia's nerves.

"Where is she? Where's my sister, Samchon?" She asked.

"Oh! I have her. She's safe.....ish" He answered coyly.

Jia's blood turned to ice in her veins as she stared at him in horror.

"Well, I can't help what happens in the dark, you know. My men have needs and she's such a pretty little flower, your sister. At least she's still alive, that ought to count for something, right?" He asked slyly.

"Samchon, please I beg you. Please let her go." Jia begged, bowing so low on the ground in front of him that her head touched the floor. "Do what you want with me. Don't hurt her. She's just a child." She cried.

He got off his chair and walked towards her.

"A child?" He laughed boisterously "More like whore who was slumming it with the enemy"

"She didn't know" Jia cried.

"Of course not. How would she? Poor sweet sheltered little Eun-ji. How could she know she was being taken for a ride by one of the pets of Bangtan?"

Jia slumped. He was finally agreeing with her.

"But you did, didn't you? You knew what would happen if you failed. Yet, you let him escape and you ran. If you had come to me and begged for mercy, I would have granted it to you like I have a countless times before. Eun-ji need not have been involved at all. But no, you chose to run away instead, you chose to hide from me. How long were you hoping to escape your fate?" He asked with a menacing gleam in his eyes.

Jia hung her head. "Please samchon. Let her go. I will do whatever you want."

"I don't need you anymore" Choi Kang Dae spat. "I'll be keeping your sister. You are free to go" He turned away from her.

"No!" She screamed. "I'm begging you. Please."

"Have it your way then" he said dismissively as he walked away from her.

"Throw her into the cell next to her sister. Make sure she can hear all the fun you guys have been having." He instructed his men who immediately advanced on her. They caught hold of her arms and roughly pulled her to her feet.

She was dragged to a dark cell.

"Eun-ji??" She called into the darkness but there was no answer.

The men thrust her to the ground and she fell face first, tasting the dirt. The debris scraped her skin. The darkness was opaque and she couldn't even see her own body.

Less than a minute later, loud screams echoed through the darkness.

She recognised the voice.
