Twenty six ; fatal trouble

YURIM'S POV

We stand in the midst of the restaurant looking for Jieun and Jaesuk. They were nowhere to be seen. What's the point of rushing here now? I sigh. After a few minutes of looking around I hear Jake phoning with someone right beside me. He looked too engrossed in the call. Maybe that was something about business. He walks towards a seat right beside the window. I follow him behind. I place my bag on the table.

"I'm going to use the restroom" I walk towards the restroom without waiting for any further replies from him. Because of rushing here I couldn't even find the time to do my hair properly. Thankfully it didn't look too messy. After finishing my business I walk out. Watching Jake from afar. I could spot a familiar presence. I look closer. I could tell that was a female. She doesn't look like Jieun. Her style was way far than Jieun. She does not dress that way.

Also, if that was her where would Jaesuk be at ? Is that...? Hell, no way. That shouldn't be what I'm thinking. The lady leans her both hands towards Jake's hands. He does not move his hand. And then, it clicks. The outfit, the hair, no wonder why that looked so similar. That's her. Eun Na-ra. Jake maintains his stiff demeanor. He doesn't seem to react to her pleading. Pleading, yes I can hear them. Not properly though. Of course i could hear them. The restaurant was not too big and the restroom wasn't that far.

What is she even doing here? Does she not know he's a married guy? What should I do? Beat her up? Doesn't sound good. Should I just go and cling to Jake? Damn i sound desperate. My brain wasn't working. Na-ra seemed to get on my nerve a lot. This bitch. The question still stands, what am I supposed to do? It is now making me mad how Jake isn't even moving his hands from her grip. " 'I can't get enough of you' my ass" i scoff walking out of the place. I stand outside feeling tears brimming in my eyes.

What an amazing day. First you have to take my hopes up and then crash them down in literally no time.

What if I'm just overreacting? Or maybe overthinking? What if he never got over that girl? This shouldn't hurt so bad. I knew this was coming. Why am I hurting now?

"You alone, pretty?" Another familiar voice. No way. No fucking way. You're joking me. I can't turn around. No. My biggest nightmare is back. And no one will save me from him this time..I was about to walk in. But he pressed a napkin over my face which kind of made my head spin. I tried to free myself from his grip. But his grip was way too tight around me. How come no one is seeing us yet? I can't scream because of whatever shit he's holding over my mouth. I guess it's the end of me. I'll have to accept my cruel fate. And then, everything blacked out.

☆

Where am I even? What happened? Where's Yejun? I look around. I couldn't recognise a single thing around me. Dang I definitely got kidnapped. My back was aching really bad. My arms were tied behind my back. I was positioned in an uncomfortable wooden chair. I tried to untie the strong ropes that were tied very tightly around my hands. But nothing worked.

I try to remind myself what had actually happened to me. All I remember is the moment when Yejun pressed the napkin over my face. My traumas, my fears, everything seems to come back. I've managed to overcome a lot all these years. And he had to come back just to let it go waste. My tears were threatening to fall. My body was trembling and aching at the same time.

Suddenly I hear the cracking sound of the door. "Oh my. Look how miserable you are now. So helpless" I recognise the voice before looking up. And just as our eyes meet I feel the dots connect. This... This was the plan. Then I realised how foolish I was to fall for their dirty little trap. "Eun Na-ra" I utter, my voice came out louder than I intended it to be because of the pent up hatred I have for this stupid lady in front of me.

"Look who's got a loud mouth" she scoffs taking further steps towards me. Just as she raises her hand (to slap me most probably) the door clicks open again revealing the guy I fear more than anyone. Yejun... And how do they even know each other. I wonder. "Awe my pretty princess woke up" he cooes in the dirtiest possible way. His presence enough is alone to make me throw up and him calling me princess just adds more to it.

"Don't call me princess" I say not being able to look in his eyes. "Why not? Aren't you my princess?" He says holding my chin and pulling my face to meet his gaze. His touch sends me icks. "Don't fucking touch me" I try to say that out loud, but it comes out as a whisper, a loud one. My tears were already rolling down my chin. I hate this man. I hate him, yet I fear him the most.

"Looks like I need to remind you something" I widen my eyes as the flashback of his punishment crosses my mind. "Y-Yejun. No. Please. I-I'm sorry" that makes my self esteem drop to the ground, but I'm scared. He holds my jaw forcefully. "Don't you fucking dare to raise your voice on me" his eyes show nothing but rage. They were red. Which made me fear for my dear life.

"I-I'm sorry" i whisper trying to free my face from his grip. His every touch made me feel so disgusted. I'd honestly jump in a river if I had the chance to. I shift my gaze towards the girl. She was just standing there enjoying whatever scene was going on.

Her phone buzzes in her pocket. Taking the phone out, she smirks walking out of the room leaving me with the cruel creature. I can't protest. I don't have the power. I'll just end up getting abused if I do so. "I missed you" what a psycho. I don't know what to say – more like, i just choose to stay silent.

"Didn't you miss me?" do i look like a joke to you? "No" i reply straightforwardly. And that's when his palm comes in contact harshly with my right cheek. It aches, I can't even touch my face. Just the tears keep falling down in silence. I was just being honest. Who misses their bully? The abuser? I want to let out a laugh. I get slapped for being honest.

"I see you got that dude. What was his name? Ugh Jay? Jack?" "That's Jake" he laughs. "Do I care?" didn't you just mention him? psychotic asshole. If I get to be free from here I'll fucking end you with my own hands. But I don't think that'd be possible.

"I heard that was a fake marriage, just for show. You don't love each other right?" He stares at my in the eyes. At that point it becomes clear to me that he needs to be in asylum more than he needs my answer. "Stop assuming shits. We do love each other" I lie knowing very well it was one sided. "Huh? Funny enough" he laughs maniacally. That sends chills down my spine. "If you really love each other than where is your so called husband?"

I don't respond. I just blankly stare at the ground. I just want to be free from this torture. His words kind of make me wonder. If Jake will really come to save me. If not Jake , then maybe someone else?. Or maybe, I'll just spend the rest of my life being Yejun's toy.
