"Aunt Hani? How are you here?"my eyes went wild.

"Kiera, why are you here?"she questioned. "I saw someone being kidnapped and was brought here so I was trying to help."

"But the guards?"

"I made a distraction out there. It was pretty loud, isn't it?" She then helped me untie the ropes tying my hands and legs. "You better explain to me what happens after this."

I nodded. When I was free, Aunt Hani quickly grabbed my hand and pulled me outside.

"Wait,"I stopped her. I took out a piece of paper from my pocket and a pen and wrote something on in.

"What is it? We have to escape quickly. They're going to be back."

I quickly wrote down what I intended to and placed the paper on the chair I was seated earlier. Aunt Hani and I then escaped the buliding once again, this time more carefully and I am grateful that we made it out.

"So what was that?"Aunt Hani asked while she drove.

"I didn't tell anyone but I've been kidnapped since I was still in LA. It was always the same person, his name is Rick and he finally told me that his purpose was to get money from me. I don't know what to do."I explained.

"How much does he want? "

"Five million won."

Aunt Hani gasped, "What? Where can we get that much?"

"Aunt Hani, can I ask you a favour? Please don't tell everyone else."

She glanced at me but stayed quiet. We finally arrived at my granparents.

"Thanks for saving me and giving me a ride home," I said.

"No problem, but can I come in for a moment? It's been awhile since I last seen your grandparents."

I nodded and lead her inside. I knocked on the door and my grandmother opened it. "Where have you been, Kiera? It's very late already!"

She then saw Aunt Hani, "Oh, Hani, I haven't seen you for so long. Was Kiera with you until this late?"

"Yes,"she approved and was welcomed inside by my grandmother.

Once we were seated, Aunt Hani started to speak. "I haven't told you, but I'm married now."

"Oh, really. That's great. I'm sure your husband is a good person."

Aunt Hani's expression turned out bad. Is there somthing wrong with her marriage?

"Yes, he's korean so that is why I am here. Ms. Lee, actually Kiera-"she started.

"Oh, no , it's nothing, grandma,"I stopped her and nudged her.

"No, please, go on,"my grandmother insisted.

Aunt Hani took another glance at me and continued her sentence. "Actually, Kiera has been kidnapped a lot since she was still in LA. And tonight, she was home late for the same reason. She was kidnapped and I saw her while on my way home. I decided to check and see if I could help her escape. But there's nothing to worry. She's safe now but there's this one thing,"she stopped.

"Really? Kiera? Why didn't you tell us all this time. But what one thing is it that you are hesitating to tell me?"my grandmother questioned.

"The kidnapper would only leave Kiera alone if we give him five million wons."

My grandmother gasped in shock, "Where can we find that much money?"

2 days had passed and I was walking around with Mark around the neighbourhood. I decided to tell him about everything that happened to me that day and his reaction was similar to the others.

"But are you alright? Are you not hurt anywhere?"Mark asked.

"My jaw is swelling. Rick had punched me pretty hard."

He took a good look on my jaw and looked at me pitifully. "How can he do this to you? Jinjja! I need to do something about this."

"Mark, it's alright. I already did something for this to stop."

While we were walking, there was a box outside a convinience store. It said "1,000 won for a draw from this box and get a valuable prize for free."

Mark chuckled, "Why is it free when we're supposed to pay 1,000 won?"

"I know right?"I chuckled as well.

The ahjumma of the shop then came out."You want to try? There are also prizes in there for two."

"You wanna try?" Mark asked.

I nodded and handed the ahjumma a 1,000 won note and put my hand inside the box. I prayed for luck and picked an envelope from the box.

"Let this be my luck,"I chanted a few times before opening the envelope.

I was bomshelled with what was beyond me. Inside it were two tickets for Big Bang's concert tonight! Oh my god.

"Mark! How is this possible? I've never even once went to a concert. Omg omg. And it's Big Bang's. I can't believe this. "

"Wow, Big Bang? I like them too. This is a big win, Kiera,"he chuckled.

The ahjumma congratulated us, "You're one lucky girl."

--

"Mark, this is real right, it's not fake right?"I kept on asking him.

"Yes, how many times do I have to tell you? So who are you going with?"He asked.

"Wait, aren't you going with me?"I smirked at him.

"Oh, so I'm invited? I'm afraid you won't ask. Yay!"Mark cheered. He's cute.

--

It was almost time to go and Mark was already in front of the house.

"Who are you going with?"Grandma asked.

"My friend."

"And who is this friend?"

"Mark Tuan. I'll be going now, Grandma!"

My grandmother and I were at the lobby and I hugged her before I stepped outside.

Mark was infront of the house and my grandmother saw him, "Are you Mark Tuan?"

"Yes, Grandmother."

"Please take a good care of my granddaughter, alright? I trust you in this."

"Yes, I will,"Mark replied.

The night of the concert was an exciting night. It was my first concert and I spent it with Mark Tuan. When can other times be better than one of these nights?

Let's just skip the time at the concert, alright? ㅋㅋ
