Chapter 21☙

JaeEun's POV

I slightly opened my eyes yet squinted at the bright light coming from the window that was right in front of me. I turned my head and looked around the room as my eyes widened.

'This is my old room when we all used to live together.' I though shocked.

This was the hose that made me feel like I was in a prison. All I did was go to school and come home to yelling and screaming. It was only Seokjin oppa that kept me sane at least until we ran away.

Then I remembered that I was kidnapped by my parents. 'When they came to my apartment they were wearing nice clothes as if they were millionaires. So why would they still be living in a house like this?'

This house was in the shady parts of Seoul and the houses weren't expensive at all. 'Maybe this is just they kept me for captivity, they probably live somewhere else.' I reasoned in my head.

I slowly got up and was about to get off the bed when I realized that my hands were cuffed to the metal bed frame. 'Fuck.' I mentally cursed.

As I closed my eyes in hopes to fall asleep again until something happens, the door opened abruptly making me flinch and look at the door.

It was my mother who had came into the room holding a tray of food. "You're lucky that you even get food! Too bad that you've got to be at least healthy for when we use you." Mother spat as she walked over a bit closer to me and placed the tray of food on the floor halfway across the room.

She then took something out of her coat pocket, a key, and came over to me and unlocked the handcuffs. Right after she did that I attempted to get up and run but my body didn't respond to my command and I deflated back into the old bed.

"Don't try, the drug we gave you will only wear off in about 30 minutes then you can eat your damn food!" She said and pushed me down although the I was already on the bed and walked out the door with the key. I also heard the sound of the door locking, making me sigh.

After a while, I was able to get up from the bed and went over to the food, picked it up and put it on the desk I once used to study. I decided to eat instead of going on a hunger strike or something because I can't live with that. And I've been kidnapped multiple times so what's the point in panicking? It will just have the same outcome. Nothing.

But u know I will get out eventually. Maybe Jungkook will come and save me like always. I just hope job aft does anything to me like the first time.

On the tray were chicken porridge, a clementine and a big glass of water. I picked up the spoon and took a bite of the chicken porridge as my eyes went wide.

'This is the same chicken porridge that mom used to make me for when I needed lunch for school in middle school!' I thought, instantly recognizing the food once fed to me as a young adult. And I knew that it was made from my mother's hands.

I remember one time when our family was happy, my mom would ask me to help her with the cooking and I used to watch her cook many things. And I would also be her taste tester.

After finishing everything on the tray, I went back to the bed and laid down. Seconds later the door opened, again revealing my mother.

"Are you finally done?! Ugh! How can you be so relaxed when you are kidnapped?!" She said walking over to me with a pair of handcuffs in her hand.

"It's not like this is the first time I got kidnapped, plus the other times were WAY worse! But it's not like you care so why are you asking?!" I said in I high voice with an annoyed tone and looked away. A couple of seconds later I looked back at her since I felt no movement. "What?" I alder as she stared at me with a blank expression with a hint of... sadness.

"W-what do you mean by 'way worse'?" Mom asked hesitantly. I raised my right eyebrow at her curiosity. 'Why does she care all of a sudden?'

"I mean that I was starved and harassed while you weren't giving a shit so you shouldn't now either!" I said as I saw her freeze and her eyes get glossy but she quickly grabbed my hands and cuffed them to the bed and before I could react, she quickly left the room, not forgetting to lock it.

As I laid down on the bed, tears welled up in my eyes at the memories of the rare days that my family was together and happy, when Seokjin oppa was still alive, and how my mother used to care for me like we actually have the same blood as each other.

So, I just laid there while sobbing at the thought of my life. 'Nothing is normal in my life, is it?'

JaeEun's mother's POV

After locking JaeEun's bedroom door I quickly ran to the bathroom and shed the tears I had been holding.

I knew that in her eyes we were monsters, but we were doing everything we could do just to protect her from everything. But if she finds out from someone else what's actually going on, she won't understand and she'll jump to conclusion.

But I didn't know she had been through those things. Mr. Kim promised that he wouldn't let anything happen to her, which is the reason we made a deal with him in the first place.

He would protect Haejin- JaeEun and in return, we would give him what he wanted. I also felt bad at how JaeEun got really depressed when she thought Seokjin died, but this was all to protect her.

Now since Mr. Kim didn't honor his side of the deal, I guess we won't either. But I have to tell this to her father, but if he doesn't agree, I have to take matters into my own hands.

I wiped my tears and went out of the bathroom and headed to the living room where my husband was casually reading the news. I really hope he will agree with what I have planned, but I have a feeling that he won't. Actually he never really cared about our kids, that's always why we fought back when Seokjin and JaeEun lived with us. He never wanted to 'waste' money on buying them extra clothes or even when their clothes got old and worn out, he would never let me get them new ones.

I had to fight for my children. When they were sick, I had to do my best to sneak out when my husband was at work and get medicine without him knowing. But what hurts me the most is that JaeEun's memory of her childhood was only that. Parents who didn't care for her or her brother.

Not even Seokjin knew what the reason was that we were fighting until when we had him fake his death for the sake of JaeEun. And the times where we were fighting and JaeEun got hurt and Seokjin would protect her, but he would end up getting beaten up his own father, I would have to take JaeEun upstairs so that she wouldn't see what was going on. But I knew she still her and saw it and she would beg me to help him, and trust me I was dying to, but I knew if I did he would hurt me and JaeEun.

I just want to have my a happy family with my children, without that crazy psychopath...
