Prologue

It gets darker and darker as the girl walks through the corridor. The loud sound of music from the party slowly fades away. Seoyeon had been called to her school building by the boy she liked, so she excitedly walks in to meet him after a long time. What excites her more is the fact that it's her birthday.

But the growing darkness and the deafening silence slowly starts to scare her. She starts walking cautiously. "V...?" She calls out, jerkily turning around when she suddenly hears an unfamiliar sound from behind. When her question gets answered by nothing but the silence, she turns back around and continues walking again.

She suddenly starts fastening her pace when the sound is heard some more. Scared and frightened, she opens the door to a classroom and goes in. Closing the door behind her, she places her palms on her ears and shuts her eyes, hopefully waiting for the sound to stop, which continues to be heard.

After a few seconds, it does stop. She slowly removes her hands and opens her eyes. Peeking out of the window, she slowly opens the door, but quickly closes it back when she hears footsteps. Hurriedly hiding behind the curtain, she sighs heavily in relief that it was dark outside. She flinches when two boys furiously kick their way into the room.

One of them kicks a chair before sitting on it. "Hyung, he still won't talk. He surely is the one but he doesn't spit a word." Says the other, huffing a sigh before lowering himself to light his older's cigarette. "We have hit him, beat him to the ground, but he still doesn't speak, not even a single word. He just laughs." He continues, "What do we do now?" The boy inhales the smoke before furiously throwing the cigarette as he stands up from the chair.

"That son of a b-" He restrains himself from completing the sentence. "First, he takes my girl away from me, then makes her pregnant and now he is hiding her from me? How dare he? Who does he think he is?" He pauses to scoff. "V?" Seoyeon's eyes grow wide after hearing that. "Is that even a name?" She hears him scoff again. She almost chokes causing herself to lose her balance. Placing her hand on the wall for support, she suddenly starts feeling weak. Her eyes start to well up. She finds it hard to believe that the boy she loved has done something like that.

Thinking it must be a misunderstanding, she restrains herself from crying and tries to stay focused on hearing more. "Finish him." She unconsciously gasps out loud after hearing those words. Realizing what she just did she quickly covers her mouth. "What was that? Is someone in here?" She shuts her eyes tight and feels her heartbeat rate grow when she hears them walk. Her legs start trembling and she finds it hard to breathe. To worsen things up, she suddenly starts hiccuping.

"Hyung, it's coming from there."

Unable to stop her hiccups, she just gets ready to get caught, silently crying to herself. Slowly removing her hands from her mouth, she clenches on the dress she had worn. "W-Who are you?" She hears the voice right before her. She slowly opens her eyes and looks down, refusing to look at the boy in front of her, afraid to do so. "Ah, you must be Seoyeon, V's new toy to play with? Am I right?" He laughs.

Seoyeon tightens her hold on her dress as she closes her eyes again to let out her tears. "Eavesdropping, huh? It's not right, now, is it?" He raises her chin, forcing her to look at him. Seoyeon couldn't recognize him, it was someone she had never seen before. "But why are you here- Ah, he was gonna confess his feelings for you, right? But I'm afraid he can't." He pauses for a second before snapping his fingers at her, making her flinch back. She finally opens her eyes and sees his face.

"I heard it's your birthday today. I have the perfect gift for you. Come on." He grabs her by her wrist and drags her with him. She struggles much to free herself from his grip, but only in vain. His grip just gets tighter. Soon, Seoyeon gets thrown into a classroom which was probably being used as the storeroom. She falls on the ground and groaning in pain, she slowly sits up on the floor. Her furrowed brows ease up and her eyes soften when they land on the boy before her, the boy whom she thought loved her. Her eyes start welling up, again, at the sight of his face swollen and full of wounds.

He sits on the floor, surrounded by a bunch of other boys, his hands tied up behind his back and his whole body covered in blood. Even his formal he had worn for the special day had been stained by the blood. Her soft, welled up eyes meet his swollen, red, shocked and worried ones. "S-Seoyeon-ah..." Hearing his deep voice which sounded frightened, she finally gives in and let her tears flow from her eyes, crying out loud.

"Siwoo, you jerk, why did you bring her here. She has nothing to do with this, let her go."V says, blinded by anger, as he struggles to free himself from the tied rope. Si Woo just laughs. "She already knows about your dirty and shameful act." V suddenly stops struggling and looks at her with soft eyes. His heart sinks at the sight of Seoyeon crying before him, "Seoyeon-ah, it's not..." His voice trails off. Siwoo smirks. "Deny it, if you can. Go on." V doesn't say anything, just looks down at the floor and feels tears roll down his cheeks.

Siwoo laughs out loud once again. "But I didn't bring her here to make her listen to your false denial." Seoyeon gasps when Siwoo suddenly places a knife under her chin. "Now, V, tell me where she is. You don't want your girl's birthday to be her death day as well, now do you?" Siwoo says, slowly moving the knife along her jawline. Seoyeon gulps, she stays still, unable to move. Afraid to do so. She just watches V struggle to free himself as he cries, yells and begs him to let her go.

She slowly closes her eyes before opening them again. "P-Please let us go." She finally speaks, her voice extremely soft and shaky. "P-Please... At least let him go..." She speaks again, closing her eyes again to let her tears flow. "You still like him? Even after knowing what he did?" Siwoo scoffs in disbelief, pulling her hair back causing Seoyeon to whimper in pain. "He has made someone pregnant. Isn't it enough reason for you to hate him?" He harshly leaves her hair. "I-If it's true, then let him go... Th-The b-baby would need him." Her voice came out as a whimper, almost inaudible to ears.

"Seoyeon-ah... it's not true... don't believe him. I didn't do it... You trust me, right?" V speaks, softening his voice, his eyes equally soft, as he waits for her response. His face falls quick and heart sinks when she quickly looks away from him after staring at him for a few moments. "S-Seoyeon..ah..." Siwoo fakes a laugh. "I told you I didn't bring her to make her listen to your false denial." He speaks through his gritted teeth.

Before they even know it, Seoyeon's head is thrown harshly on the floor with a loud thud sound. Seoyeon doesn't scream, she isn't able to. It just happened so quickly that they were unable to react. V watches her with his widened, shocked eyes in terror and horror as blood starts to visibly flow on the ground. Due to the extreme pain on her head, Seoyeon feels her body going numb. Siwoo pulls her head by her hair and laughs historically.

V wants to cry seeing how Seoyeon looked. The scene before him was traumatizing. Blood almost covered her face as it continued to stream down her head. A drop of tear flows from his eye as he mentally tells himself to stay strong despite feeling weak after seeing the person he loved in that condition.

Seoyeon slowly starts to lose her consciousness. The sound around her slowly gets muffled and her sight starts to get blurry as she slowly blinks her eyes.

All she sees and hears is V's blurry form yelling, telling her to stay awake and pull herself together. She knows she is reaching her limit but still tries to stay conscious. She finally gives up when she is thrown on the floor once again.

The last thing she hears is a sudden loud banging sound and trying to see what had happened she sees V's face before her, blood starting to flow from his head. She watches V smile warmly before mouthing some words with her blurry sight before closing her eyes. V slowly wipes off the last tear that drops from her eyes and closes his own eyes as well.

Watch out for grammar errors.
I don't know why, but I find it so hard to write a story in present tense, so there are loads of mistakes.
