Over the next few days, nothing had changed. I was glad that I hadn't gone insane yet, but I was scared that it might start to happen soon. I've been sitting in this chair for the majority of the time, with the occasional time for a little while where Appa will let me out to stretch my legs and walk around the room. 

I still don't have a plan, and I still don't see any opportunities to get out. There's not any time where I can get out of that stupid chair and not have Appa watching me. Every time he unties me, I can never leave his sight, or else he probably thinks I'm up to something. 

Currently, I was trying to figure out a way for me to attack him or something and manage to knock him out during that period of time, but there didn't seem to be a possible way to do it, since he was a lot bigger than me. 

Suddenly, the door opened and I flinched.

But it wasn't my appa... It was Hyungsik!

"Hyungsik?" I asked in shock. Was he on my side, or my Appa's?

"Jihee?" He asked, and I wasn't sure what to do. "What are you doing here?"

"My Appa kidnapped me a few days ago along with Taehyung, but you know, I'm doing pretty well." I replied sarcastically. "How about you?"

"I came back to help your Appa, not knowing it was your Appa, and he said to not go into this room. I don't know why I didn't listen, now I know why he wanted to keep me out..." Hyungsik mumbled. "I hate Taehyung, and I helped kidnap him... if I knew that you were involved, I swear, I wouldn't have helped at all!"

"It's fine, you didn't know..." I assured him. "But I would ask you to help me, but there's a camera over there." I turned towards the camera, and Hyungsik followed my gaze.

"Oh crap..." Hyungsik whispered. "Can it hear us?"

I nodded, and his eyes widened. I used to hate him, but I was quickly starting to trust him. Before, he could care less about how I actually felt, and just that he needed to have me. Now, he seemed like he was actually concerned about my life, and wanted to help. And I didn't even care if it was him, help is help no matter what. 

"I need to get you two out of here, but it's not like I can just walk you two right out the front door." Hyungsik whispered. "I'll try to see what I can do, and get you guys out as soon as possible."

I nodded, and then Hyungsik left the room. Appa probably saw him, and now I was scared that he might not even get a chance to help. If Hyungsik is our only chance of escape, then it would be very bad if he failed already.

What if Appa kidnaps him as well? I know that he hasn't been here the whole time, so he must have been going to work and everything like that when he wasn't here. What if he gets stuck here with us? Then there's no way that we'll get out, since Appa won't trust anyone to help him anymore.

I was truly scared at this point. Was Hyungsik really trying to help me, or was he faking it or something? Because to be honest, I could see him actually faking all of this. But I hoped that he wasn't and I could get out with his help.

Later that day, Hyungsik came back into the room.

"Okay, so I went to see Taehyung and I managed to convince him that I'm actually trying to help." Hyungsik whispered, just so that the microphone on the camera couldn't hear him.

"So do you have a plan?" I asked.

Hyungsik gave me an apologetic look. "No, not really..." he whispered, and I sighed. "I want to get you guys out of here fast, but I need to have a fully thought out plan first. I don't want to wing it and miss something really important, and your situation getting worse."

I nodded. "That makes sense, I had a plan but because I didn't really think it through, we got separated. We were both originally in this room together, and now we can't communicate at all." I explained.

"Oh, that sucks... at least now you know not to make the same mistake." Hyungsik replied, and I nodded.

"But we need a very well thought out plan, so nothing goes wrong like that." I said.

"Yeah, so I don't know how long it'll take for me to come up with a plan, but I'll let you know when I do." Hyungsik said, and started to open the door with his key.

"Wait, no." I whispered, and he turned back around. "If you stay a bit longer, then maybe we can come up with one now."

"Oh, that's a good idea." Hyungsik said, and closed the door again.

"So we need to make sure that no one sees our escape, right?" I whispered, and Hyungsik nodded. "We need to make sure that no one is here when we do."

"And how am I supposed to make that happen?" Hyungsik asked.

"Who's here right now? Do you know?" I asked.

"No, although he only has a few people helping him, he still has a schedule for when everyone should be here." Hyungsik said.

"Well then find that schedule, and find out when there's the least amount of people here in the building at once." I said, and Hyungsik nodded as he exited the room.

I was glad that Hyungsik wasn't being such an asshole anymore, and actually helping. This is how I thought he was when I started dating, but I guess I was wrong since he started acting like an asshole afterwards. 

But if this plan worked, then I would be so relieved. Yet I couldn't shake the feeling that something would go wrong. Was it just because I've been worrying way too much for the past few days?

Probably, but I sure hoped that nothing went wrong. Or else we would be in way more trouble than before. And I didn't want to imagine what that was like.
