I don’t know who occupied my mind more often – Jiyong or my parents. I actually don’t know what’s running around my own mind anymore. It’s like I detached myself from my body. Jae has been silent, too and I think I got an idea on what’s going running in his mind. The possibility of my death has increased because of the phone call. I’m scared of course, dead scared but I didn’t dwell on that part that much. Like what I said, Jiyong and my parents have been competing for dominance in my mind. Hearing Jiyong’s involved with Sulli brought up mixed emotions from me. I don’t want to believe it but my suspicious mind can’t help it. I wanted to break down and cry butt here’s something about the way Jae held himself up that prevented me from having a break down.
No words were said even after we arrived in his house. The silence felt heavy that I found myself wanting to break it. I turned to him and was about to call for his attention when I suddenly froze. Jae instantly went in a defensive stance, his eyes going all black.
“You won’t stand a chance” a familiar male voice said. Not long after that, Jiyong came into view, wearing an arrogant smirk. Jae then went for him but he suddenly dropped to the ground even before reaching Jiyong.
“Aish, Jiyong” Sulli’s voice then came. “I told you to be gentle”
“Sorry, can’t help it” he grinned.
Sulli then walked in front of me. “Hi Dara” she smiled sweetly. “Missed me?”
I looked at her with so much hatred that I wondered why she’s not fleeing away. How I wish I can move so I can slap her. How I wish I can talk and how I wish I had the power to rip her apart!
I saw Jiyong slowly walked behind Sulli and wrapped his arms around her. he rested his chin on her shoulder then looked at me. “Hi spoof. Long time no see”
How am I supposed to react? How am I supposed to feel? I don’t even know if I’m still capable of reacting or feeling anything. I feel like a dead person inside.
“We got a homecoming present for you” Sulli said. “Let’s not keep the guests waiting, shall we? Jiyong, why don’t you do the honor of bringing our most distinguished guest to the part?”
“Sure” he smirked. “With pleasure”
What happened to him? What happened to Kwon Jiyong?!?
I looked at him questioningly as he stood in front of me. He smirked again, blinked then I felt my consciousness left me.

A soft dripping sound brought me back. I groaned a little as I felt like an elephant just stepped on me. I slowly opened my eyes. At first, it was all blurry but after a few blinks, the whole place finally came into view. I looked around, trying to recognize the place then decided that I’ve never been here before.
The place gave off a Roman feel. The circular chamber was pretty vast with its soiled pillars, some were broken and left lying on the floor. There’s a long straight table in the upfront landing a few feet away from me which reminded me of a sacrificial table in the movies. The place would have been elegant and beautiful if not for the molds, dust and dirt.
I tried to move but I found out I was chained against the wall. My hands were held either side of my head with circular iron on my wrists individually, same goes to my feet which were slightly spread apart. I groaned in frustration. I looked around again and realized I was alone.
Are they planning to keep me here until I die from hunger or cold? Are my parents free? Is Jae alright? These questions ran about my mind. And then, I heard a tinkling sound somewhere.
