When we returned to Sangwoo's house he kept a hand on my lower back and walked me to the bathroom and started a bath, I undressed slowly and looked into the mirror the bruises were always where no one could see them so scars littered my chest and hips and if he put them on my arms or legs I would have to wear pants or long sleeves. I was pulled out of my thoughts by his voice "get in" I shakily got in the bathtub and sat in the freezing cold water chilled to the bone but I sat in the tub dormantly staring at the wall "I have an idea" he ran out and came back with a bucket of ice and poured it into the tub, the water became so cold that it hurt
He grabbed me by the neck and pulled my face to his "Rikah, you know what's going to happen right?" I nodded and went limp in his arms and he submerged me in the water keeping me under, I had to relax if I started to freak out I would die I held my breath but after awhile I couldn't take it and I started flailing I needed air my lungs started to burn and he pulled me up right before I went unconscious
I was coughing up water while he released the water from the tub "Sangwoo is my god, say it" he looked back at me and at first I hesitated and cowered "SAY IT" I whimpered and spoke up softly "Sangwoo, you're my god" "and how am I your god?" "You decide whether I live or die" he wrapped a thin towel around me and carried me to a spare bedroom and dropped me on the bed "I'll allow you to have one thing and one thing only, what do you pick" I knew I wouldn't get my freedom so "a stuffed animal" "a stuffed animal? You could have asked for food or a blanket or anything in the world and you ask for a stuffed animal?"
