(67) Escape

Wooyoung entered the dimly lit basement, the sound of his footsteps echoing off the cold walls. He dragged a chair across the floor and sat down in front of Yuri, who was tied up and trembling. A wicked grin crept across his face as he leaned in closer.

"You know, you really shouldn’t have run away from me that day," he said, his voice low and menacing. "You hit me and thought you could escape with seventeen."

Yuri’s heart raced, her eyes filling with tears. She couldn't stop the fear that gripped her as she recalled the nightmare from her past.

"But before I finish what I started," Wooyoung continued, standing up slowly, "I think it's time I taught you a lesson... some manners on how to behave with your master."

Without warning, he grabbed her throat, pushing her down onto the hard ground. She gasped for air as he held her there, her body weak and trembling. His grip tightened, and her vision blurred as she struggled beneath him.

He released her throat for a moment, but before she could even catch her breath, he unbuckled his belt. The sound of the leather sliding through the loops made Yuri shudder with dread.

And then, with a cruel smirk, he swung the belt across her back, the sharp crack echoing through the room. Yuri cried out in pain, tears streaming down her face as the whip came down again, and again, the agony unbearable.

All she could do was pray for someone—anyone—to come and save her.

Wooyoung grinned sadistically as he grabbed a bucket of ice-cold water and poured it over Yuri's trembling body, her soaked clothes clinging to her as the freezing liquid shocked her senses. She gasped, but before she could recover, he kicked her hard in the stomach, knocking the wind out of her.

"It’s because of you, you stupid bitch," he spat, his voice dripping with venom. "If you hadn't run away, we wouldn't be in this mess. We wouldn't have made BTS our enemies."

Yuri whimpered, trying to curl into herself, but Wooyoung grabbed her by the arms and yanked her to her feet. His eyes burned with rage as he pinned her against the wall, her back to him, the weight of his fury pressing into her.

"Do you know how long we've been proposing an alliance to them? Every single time, those Seventeen bastards came along with a better offer," Wooyoung sneered, his hot breath against the back of her neck. "When they became enemies, I thought there had to be a reason. And then I found out... it was you."

He pulled her hair harshly, forcing her head back. "You have no idea how much I wanted to drag you to my mansion, ruin you first, and then hand you over to BTS as a peace offering so that they can enjoy you too and benifit us too."

Tears slid down Yuri's face, her body shaking in terror as Wooyoung nuzzled his face into her neck. His teeth sank into her skin, biting cruelly, leaving bruises as he laughed at her helplessness.

"But now..." he whispered darkly, "now we know you’re like a sister to them. And because of you, we've suffered. Now, I’ll make sure you pay for it all."

On the other side, BTS, Enhypen, Astro, Stray Kids, and TXT were already mobilizing, preparing for an attack. They had discovered the location of the enemy’s stronghold, ready to strike at any moment.

Meanwhile, Seventeen, still locked in the basement, was plotting their escape they were checking the layout of the basement checking everything closely seeing for any kind of loophole, their hearts heavy with fear for Yuri but determined to save her at any cost. They knew time was running out, and they couldn’t afford to fail.
