Dangerous Game | BTS

Chapter 16

Walking over to the desk that was diagonally across from me, I flicked on the lamp stationed on the desk.

Sitting on top of a pile of folders, was a track record.

Reading it, it said, Song Jaehyun and Song Jisoo. Picking it up, I decided to go through it.

Going through, I learned about certain trades my parents have done with other companies. And particularly, a special document that read that my parents were bankrupt.

Widening my eyes, I realized that my parents have been owing money to another company, J.A.R.K, an nutritious company owned by a close friend to my parents, Yang Hoseok.

As I kept reading, I stopped dead while reading a certain statement.  

You must sacrifice one of your daughters into the game to pay for your debt to my company.

S-So I was used? My parents used me to pay their debt?

Looking around, I noticed that the lights flickered on and off around the 9th floor. From the corner of my eyes, I saw a figure silently move around.

Turning the lamp on the desk quickly off, I squatted eye level to the desk. Keeping an eye on the figure moving quietly and slowly around the back of the floor, closer to the elevator.

Footsteps neared closer to the desk I was hiding behind. Just in a matter of seconds, a pair of boots came into my view. It was a female standing over me. I couldn't identify her features but heard her load up a gun.

"Well, isn't it Song Jihye. Daughter of Jaehyun and Jisoo, founders of ARIRANG. You owe my family money." A slightly high pitched voice hummed.

Wait a minute, I know that voice.

I know that voice VERY well.

"Lee Sol?" I looked up to see a shadow of a pistol pointed at my head.

"Surprise bitch!" She cheekily chuckled.

"Y-your a Yang?"

"Of course! You really thought my last name was Lee? Stupid child."

I was about to snarl at her but I held it in when I heard a loud thump on the ground.

Looking up, I saw that Sol was on the ground and, someone else was on top of her.

"Jihye jump!" A male voice commanded me.

Oh my god, what is he doing here? Did he follow me?

"Jungkook! Why are you here?"

"Just listen to me damnit and jump!"

Taking a deep breathe, I stood up and ran towards the glass that stood between me and the world outside.

Slamming my body against the glass, it shattered and along with it, I fell down.

In an instant, I began to fall and it felt as if the world had stopped. I was stuck frozen in the air while below me, was a jeep car with its top removed.

Looking back up, I noticed that Jungkook was frozen also. He was stuck staring at me with deep concern on his face as he still stood over Sol. He had a gun aimed at her head but he did not hover his fingers above the trigger.

I started thinking again,

Why did it have to be me?

Why couldn't it be Areum?

Why put a twelve year old girl in this much burden?

As I kept thinking, I didn't realize that tears slowly poured down my face.

"I miss my old life, before I had to join this game." I whimpered.
