Two years have passed since I've been captured. I've come to know so much about the men who are my captors. Surprisingly they've treated me extremely well by buying me expensive clothes and jewelry.  Every day we ate together a small fragile bond seemed to have formed between us. I had a feeling that in some way I was becoming a part of their lives. Some have even flirted with me (mainly Hoshi and Joshua)  through subtle touches and a small peck on the cheek. Although it made me slightly uncomfortable I couldn't help but feel happy for the affection. Without my grandfather affection was something that I found myself craving constantly. For the past couple of years they dyed and cut their hair so many times as if they were constantly changing who they really were. The same would go with their personalities. It became a habit of mine to wait for them while they worked they would come back with angry cuts and bruises all over their bodies their eyebrows furrowed. I couldn't help but feel sympathy for them. I have never seen a stronger and unspoken bond like theirs. Like it's just them against the world. Around two years ago S.Coups, Jeonghan, Jun, The8 and Dokyeom left somewhere for a "business trip" I haven't seen them since and wondered if S.Coups really took my requests seriously. I was terribly homesick and not a day passed by where I didn't think of my grandfather. I would constantly dream of somehow seeing him and running to his arms again but then wake up alone tears running down my face.

I woke up to another nightmare about my grandfather drenched in cold sweat. Taking deep breaths I saw that it was still nighttime. I got up hoping to get a glass of water. I took deep gulps as I instantly drank the entire cup. Heading back I heard voices at the entrance thinking that one of them must have come back I grabbed a first aid kit and headed there. All of the members were there and I could see the undeniable silhouette of S.Coups. He hadn't changed much at all since the day that I last saw him seeing him again brought all of the bad memories of my first few days with them. I was so focused on him that I didn't notice all of them were there along with Jeonghan, Jun, The8, and Dokyeom who had finally returned. They looked tired and gaunt, discussing things with each other's faces  seriously. "How's the progress with the girl?" S.Coups voice rang through the entrance the emphasis on girl stinging. "It's going good hyung, I can tell that she's become much more comfortable with us, it won't take long." Hoshi replied with a nasty smirk on his face. Jeonghan nodded his head "Seems like your plan is working Seungkwan." Seungkwan beamed at Jeonghan who was giving him a pat on his head. I broke into a cold sweat once again. I shouldn't be here. I turned to leave praying that no one noticed. I closed the door my heart practically beating outside my chest. No wonder they've been so nice to me everything that they've done for me has been a lie. I thought that maybe I could've become friends with them and then finally reveal the truth to Chan. He seemed to worship them constantly acting for their approval. The underlying issue coming forth that I buried long two years ago. What am I supposed to do now that the person who I idolized the most becomes someone completely unrecognizable cruel and ruthless. The fragments of the person that I loved ended up being a lie to use me til they have my complete trust just so they can break it. 

I don't know what to do. What do I do? What's correct? What's wrong? The lines between good and bad have blurred leaving me helpless.

I ran. I don't know where I was going but I just ran. I was only in my sleepwear my hair loose and my feet bare. I opened the doors to the outside, cool air hitting me. I wandered for a while I knew I couldn't escape but I wanted just the littlest bit of freedom. I ended up in Mingyu's garden he mostly grew vegetables but there were a few flowers planted that he said he grew just for me. I sat down on a bench admiring the flowers, my feet stung as it was covered in cuts from running barefoot. "It's cold outside." a deep voice came from the side but I refused to look at him. I felt a jacket placed on my shoulder as the person sat down beside me. "I'll have to plant new vegetables because the season is going to change soon." He tucked a loose hair behind my ear his gaze lingering on me. Silence went on both of us knowing that I had listened to their meeting. "Next time, I'll plant my flowers for you." He stood up and knelt in front of me causing me to look at him. He was still wearing his suit I looked at his knuckles and saw that they were bruised and bleeding. His brown eyes looked right at me a tinge of regret behind it that made me feel worse. During these two years I had become especially close to him. We shared a love for cooking and baking. Despite his intimidating build and previous impression he was honest and empathetic towards me though I don't know why. He treated me like I was his own sister often helping me cook. Despite knowing their plan I still felt that part of their kindness was genuine.

He held my hands gently which made me realize just how cold I was. "Let's go back?" He asked slightly pulling me I nodded and was about to get up when I felt him sweep me. I closed my eyes clenching on him and I could hear him chuckling to himself. "Let's go get Jeonghan to bandage your feet." I felt unease at the mention of Jeonghan's name he was one of them who went on the business trip so I basically knew nothing about him. "It'll be okay." Mingyu reassured me as he carried me back to the mansion. A nice scent lingered while I stared up at him. He really was handsome he had tanned skin and the strongest build out of all of them. It made me feel safe and I slowly drifted to sleep.

Mingyu's P.O.V

Her body went limp and I realized that she fell asleep. I looked down at her and my heart skipped a beat. I see her everyday but she is now closer than ever. A tinge of envy rose at the thought of her asleep with Vernon that one time. She was wearing a simple nightgown but the loose fabric and low neckline felt dangerous. Her usual tied up hair now fell loose and her sweet smell reached my nose. "What's wrong?" I almost dropped her from surprise as I saw Jeonghan his door left open. I didn't even realize that I was already in front of his room. "Nothing, I just thought that we should patch up her feet." I stuttered a bit and I could feel myself blushing uncharacteristically. I gave her to him and quickly walked away.
