My eyes started to get teary. I then called the police to and the ambulance.

After that, I closed my eyes and prayed for the best. I opened them again and wiped my tears off. I have to be strong.

I took one last breath and barged inside.

I looked around inside the factory and saw the faces of Rick's men but he himself was not insight.
My eyes lingered around the factory until I saw the face of the person who I searching for, Mark.

His face was badly bruised and his hands were tied to his back. The shirt he was wearing was covered with blood.

I almost cried at the same spot but I told myself that I had to be strong in order for me to save him.

A sudden loud voice then came filling the space. "Oh, you're here?" Rick chuckled.

I tried to keep myself together and so far it was working.

"Run, Kiera! Just leave me here!" Mark shouted.

I stood still on the same spot.

Rick then started to approach me slowly.

"Kiera, run!" Mark shouted again. One of Rick's men then kicked him on his stomach.

I made a fist, trying to refrain myself while glaring at Rick.

"What?" Rick challanged. "You wanna punch me?" he chuckled. "You seriously need to watch something for yourself."

Rick clapped his hands twice and his men started to hit Mark hard. Firstly, they only started to punch his face. After that, they started to punch and kick him on the stomach.

From there, I knew that I couldn't let anything worse happen to him. I don't even think that I could watch them do that to him.

"Stop!" I shouted.

His men stopped what they were doing and Rick started to approach me even closer.

"You b*itch, why are you doing this? You're too ugly to be doing this. If you were a little bit good-looking, I might have let you done it to him," I started to criticize him on purpose. I knew that messing up with a young man like this would make them go mad.

Rick shouted in frustation. His steps got even faster and when he was about to punch me, the door behind me burst open to the entrance of the police officers.

They arrested Rick and all the people who were under him.

"This is not the end!" Rick shouted as he was being brought to the police car.

I ran off to check on Mark. "Mark, I'm so sorry for being late. It's all my fault."

"No, Kiera. It's not your fault," he responded weakly.

I started to become teary again as I helped him untie the rope that were tying his hands. I then held him in my arms to avoid him from falling on the floor. Just then the ambulance came and took him on the vehicle.

On the way to the hospital, I could see that Mark was in so much pain. "What have they done to you?" I asked and my tears started flowing.

Mark chuckled. "I'm alright, don't worry."

"How can I not worry?" I argued.

"Kiera, it's okay. I'm really fine," he convinced.

"Don't say that. I'm not fine," I said coldly ads I was feeling so angry at him. Despite everything Mark kept on smiling.

"Why are you smiling? This is not a joke to make fun with," I pointed out.

"Nothing, it's just that I'm so glad that you're safe and that everything's over now," he answered.

His words made me cry even harder. I hit his arms for a few time as I was so mad at him.

"Don't do that, you're hurting me," Mark pouted.

"바보야! (You're such a fool)!"

After a few seconds, it went quiet again.

"Thank you for finding me and saving me," Mark said and he offered me a smile.

--

"Mark, do you wanna eat anything?" I asked him.

"It's okay, I'm fine," he answered and closed his eyes to rest.

I sat there, staring at him. I was very guilty and sorry for him. This was all my fault. I don't even know how to properly repay him for what he had done until now.

I think I should go home now, Grandma might be worried about me. Mark is also resting anyway.

"I think I should call the others before I go home," I wondered to myself.

"Hey BamBam, I found Mark already. He was really in Jeju," I informed.

"Really?! Thank God. How is he doing?"

"He's in the hospital but he's resting right now. His bruises were pretty bad by the way."

"Thank god, at least he's fine. Poor Mark Hyung."

"Are you guys going to be coming here?"

"We will but I'm not sure when, I'll tell you if there's any news."

"Alright, I should get going now I have to go and check on my grandparents."

"Okay, I'll tell the other members about this. Please look after Mark well while we're not there," Bambam asked for a a favor.

"I will."

I hung up the phone and packed my stuff as I was about to go. I took a last look on Mark to make sure that he was doing alright.

I turned around and was about to walk away when my hand was suddenly pulled by Mark.

"I thought you were asleep," I questioned.

"Stay. I'm hurt," he said. His eyes were still closed.

I waved my hands in front of him to make sure that he was not sleeptalking. I tried to free my hands from his grip but it got even stronger.

Mark then opened his eyes. "I mean it, please stay with me. Just for awhile."

"Fine, fine. But I can't stay until late. My grandparents will be mad at me."

"That'll be enough. Thanks, Kiera," he thanked me. Mark then went back to sleep and he let go of his grip.

I ended up staring at him sleeping again and I felt so bad for him. I stared at his perfectly shaped face and he looked even more good-looking up close even with his bruised face.

Without realising, I fell asleep with my head on the hospital bed when my phone alarm went off to show that it was already eight at night.

Even with my loud alarm, Mark was not awake. He must be very tired. I checked everything for the last time and went back home to my grandparents' hanok.

Mark, I'm sorry that I can only stay with you for awhile today.
