⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️

This chapter contains sexual assault and rape. You are being warned.

It was now April and being on vacation, Jae-Yoon was so excited for what was coming. He had begged his parents mercifully to give him the opportunity to visit his grandparents in England if he ranked the highest in High School in preparation for his last year that followed after this break and he did. He stayed up many nights without an ounce of sleep for this very moment.

And paying a visit to his grandparents meant only one thing. It was mostly the reason why he had worked so hard. He wanted answers and wouldn't settle for less than that. More so, a big event was due that day.

The moment he stepped in the big garden of their immense mansion, he felt kind of nervous but also excited, exhaled. He didn't tell them that he was going to spend his break here and urged his parents to do the same. He wanted it to be a surprise and so it was.

"Sang-Hyun ! Wait !"

He heard Jae-Hee saying and saw her running down towards what seemed to be his ancient best friend who was shirtless. He had changed. He didn't look the same anymore. Different haircut and had grown immensely tall, more beautiful, more manly.

She, on the other hand, was only wearing a bikini, a sexy one at that, flaunting her dyed long blond hair that swung each time she made a move.

He had figured, from their outfits, that both of them were swimming before he left her alone, aiming to go back inside.

Jae-Yoon was about to step in and greet them but was stopped by the view that was offered to him. Jae-Hee's hands met Sang-Hyun's hair before she planted a kiss on his lips and weirdly enough. He thought and wished that maybe, just maybe, he would back away but instead he stood there, answering back and grabbing her waist to pull her closer.

The little guy stood there, confused and a sarcastic silent laugh came out of his mouth, the bag on his shoulder fell down to the ground before he backed away altogether, far away from their possible sight, a tight grip suffocating him from the core.

"Happy now ? Leave-"

Sang-Hyun didn't finish what he was about to say, noticing a figure running away. He knew all too well. He knew who that was and could only brush Jae-Hee aside, trying to catch up to him with no avail.

The luggages he left were only another proof that indeed, Jae-Yoon was here and saw what happened. This thought came crashing down on Sang-Hyun, dawning on him with anxiety and remorse. He took some breaths in and out, trying to calm himself before deciding to go after him. To find him and to explain things to him. He didn't know why. He didn't owe him anything but he felt like he had to do it.

Walking around in a beautiful and big city that London was, everything was extremely unfamiliar to him. He spoke the main language, yes. Could get around just fine but he had nowhere to stay and didn't know how to get back home, had he paid any attention to the route he took after literally running away like some burglar, he would've been in a better position. But he didn't and now he could qualify himself as being lost.

He even forgot his bag full of money. The only thing he had was his phone but no one to call. His grandparents were too busy with Jae-Hee's illness and didn't want to bother them, they sure were exhausted, seeing how old they were and he didn't want to talk to the other two people.

So he ended up entering a pub to get his mind off of this mess. He wasn't allowed to drink and didn't intend to. He just wanted to rest.

Suddenly, a man showed up, looking like he was in his thirties, a big smile on his face. He kinda looked like Sang-Hyun.
