I Will Take You Home || N-K

{10}

The next day, right at noon, Eun Hee got a message from someone. She opened it to find a video.

The video showed: *her sister, Eun Soo and her mom, Ms. Ahn, with their hands tied and their mouths covered with cloth in some place.*

"Mom?"

Eun Hee panicked and ran out of the house, hailing a taxi to that location.

"Is this what they meant by sacrifice?"

She called the unknown number, and someone answered.

"Don't hurt them! If you do anything to them..."

"What are you gonna do? You think you have the power to fight us? You don't, do you? So hurry up and get here before they end up dead in my hands."

The call ended. Tears streamed down Eun Hee's face from anger and frustration. Meanwhile, Ni-ki had no idea what was happening, his phone was on silent, and he was just going all his day without thinking about Eun Hee.

Eun Hee arrived at the place. The taxi driver looked confused because the building looked run-down and abandoned.

"Are you sure this is the place?"

"Yeah, thanks, uncle. Here's the fare."

Eun Hee got out of the taxi and rushed into the building.

"Mom!! Eun Soo!!"

No one answered. Eun Hee checked her phone and felt anxious since she was all alone in that empty building.

"The location says it's here, so why is no one around?"

Suddenly, she heard a faint scream. Eun Hee quickly turned toward the sound and moved closer.

"Mom, is that you?"

She pulled aside a curtain and saw her mom tied to a chair.

"Mom?!"

Eun Hee knelt in front of Ms. Ahn, trying to untie the ropes.

"Where's Eun Soo?"

Ms. Ahn didn't answer, and just as Eun Hee was about to turn around, someone hit her in the head with a metal object. It was her own sister, Eun Soo.

"Mom..."

Eun Hee collapsed to the floor, her eyes closing tight. Eun Soo shook after hitting her. Ms. Ahn was silent, shocked by what Eun Soo had done.
