shadow of love

chapter 10(⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

Noeul's eyes fluttered open, but the world around him was a blur. A sharp pain throbbed in his head, and as he tried to move, he realized he was tied to a chair, his arms and legs bound tightly. Panic surged through him as he took in his surroundings: a dimly lit room that resembled an abandoned basement, the air thick with an unsettling silence.

Suddenly, the creak of a door shattered the stillness. A muscular figure stepped into the room, his presence imposing. The guard eyed Noeul with disdain, crossing his arms as he leaned against the doorframe. "Which gang do you belong to?" he demanded, his voice low and menacing. "Why did you do it?"

Fear coursed through Noeul, causing him to tremble. He opened his mouth to speak, the truth about the murder spilling out in a rush. But as he spoke, a figure loomed in the shadows, watching intently from behindthe one way mirror

As Noeul's confession unfolded, Boss's expression darkened. Anger simmered beneath the surface, and he could no longer contain himself. Bursting into the room, he accused Noeul of lying, his voice rising in fury. "My brother is not like that! It's you who's responsible!" His hands clenched into fists as he grabbed Noeul harshly by the neck, lifting him off the ground.

Noeul's heart raced as tears filled his eyes. "I didn't do anything," he sobbed, hiccuping between words. But Boss's rage only intensified at Noeul's pleas for mercy.

In a sudden twist of fate, Noeul turned his gaze to the corner of the room and froze. There, tied up and terrified, was his sister. The sight made his breath hitch painfully in his throat. Before he could react, Boss pulled out his gun and placed it on noeul's hand by holding and pointing at noeul's sister and told him yo shoot her but noeul cried no...i won't....but boss triggered the gun on noeul's hand and made it shoot her in the shoulder. A scream escaped Noeul's lips as darkness enveloped him, consciousness slipping away.

When Noeul finally came to, he found himself in another dim room, the memories flooding back like a tidal wave. His sister-he had to help her. But as he struggled against the ropes binding him, he felt cold metal around his legs; chains held him captive.

The door creaked open again, and the bodyguard from earlier entered with a plate of food. He set it down with a clatter and glared at Noeul. "Eat," he barked, his tone dripping with impatience.

"No," Noeul replied defiantly, his voice hoarse but resolute.

The bodyguard clenched his fists, frustration evident on his face. "I don't want to get scolded by my boss! Just eat so I can get this over with!" But Noeul remained steadfast in his refusal.

In a moment of desperation, Noeul threw the plate away, food scattering across the floor. The bodyguard huffed angrily and stormed out, reporting Noeul's defiance to Boss.

Moments later, Boss stormed into the room, his presence filling the space with an ominous energy. "Won't you eat? You wasted food that I provided!" His voice was a low growl as he approached Noeul.

Without warning, Boss shoved food into Noeul's mouth. Instinctively, Noeul spat it back at him, the remnants splattering across Boss's face. Rage ignited in Boss's eyes; he slapped Noeul hard across the cheek, leaving him reeling.

Tears streamed down Noeul's face as he cried out in pain and despair. But then something shifted in Boss's demeanor. He wiped his face clean and saw the broken boy before him-his heart clenched at the sight of Noeul's anguish.

In a surprising turn of tenderness, Boss pulled Noeul into an embrace, loosening the chains around his legs. "Shh... it's okay," he whispered softly into Noeul's ear, attempting to soothe him. "Calm down."

Boss lifted Noeul effortlessly in a straddled manner noeul's legs around his waist and arms around boss neck, boss was holding Noeul by his under thighs and carried him to his bedroom, placing him gently on the edge of the bed. Kneeling before him, Boss leaned in close, a smirk returning to his lips. "Tomorrow is our wedding day," he murmured with an unsettling cheerfulness. "All the best, my bride."
Fury ignited within Noeul as he pushed against Boss's chest. "I hate you! You bastard! You're a monster!" His voice echoed with frustration and defiance as Boss stepped back, amusement dancing in his eyes.

With a chuckle that sent shivers down Noeul's spine, Boss walked out of the room, leaving Noeul alone with his thoughts-the weight of betrayal heavy on his heart and a desperate need for escape burning in his soul.
