TRIGGER WARNINGS: Violence/mention of kidnapping/foul language
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ji-Yeon woke the next morning feeling, somewhat, well rested. The sun peeked through the tiny holes in the wall making yellow dots along the wall in front of her. Letting out a soft yawn, she wondered what the new day would bring and what Wonho would be like. She wasn't sure why she cared what he would be like. But she did. Something inside her screamed for his attention.

She did everything in her power to rid her mind of those useless thoughts. Wonho was just a guy, after all. An extremely well built and good looking guy - in fact, he put most of the men back in Serenity to shame. But nonetheless, he was still a man. Smiling to herself, she braced herself for whatever would happen.

Outside the room, she saw Yuki, Luna, and Wonho. Yuki looked pissed, the same look she had on the day Ji-Yeon met her. Luna, as well, looked a little peeved and perhaps a little jealous. Both girls wore the same outfit – black long sleeved shirts, black tight pants and black combat boots. They looked as though they were on duty for something. Shifting her gaze to Wonho, she felt her heartache in her chest. He wore a black sweater under a leather jacket with silver snaps at the collar and two zippers ran along the left breast. His hair was styled in a way that reminded her of waves on the ocean – which she had only seen in ads or magazines. What surprised her the most was that his left eyebrow, lip, and ears were pierced. She had never noticed them before.

She tried to mouth a good morning, but her words felt stuck in her throat again. Instead, she simply stood and waited for someone to speak first.

"You had me worried sick this morning," Luna said. Finally breaking the silence between the four of them.

"I'm sorry," Ji-Yeon replied, "I wanted to go back. But..."

"Vincent showed up," Wonho said, interrupting her in mid-sentence, "You need to keep a better eye on her."

"What were you even doing here?" Luna asked, there was a subtle anger to her tone, one that Ji-Yeon caught instantly.

"I..." Ji-Yeon said. How could she tell her that she just ended up here by chance?

"It doesn't matter," Wonho said sternly, "Just keep a better eye on her."

Ji-Yeon felt like a small child that needed to be constantly watched. Where on earth would she have gone? It wasn't as if she would just run back to Serenity. Or back to the tender, loving, care of her father. She wasn't even sure if her father had noticed her absence. So really they had no reason to keep such a careful watch over her. However, Ji-Yeon could understand where they were coming from. She needed to remember, she was their prisoner.

Luna quickly grabbed Ji-Yeon's arm and pulled her away from the others. Whatever was on her mind seemed to be important enough to warrant her taking Ji-Yeon away. She led her outside where the sun beat down harshly on the ground. The air felt hot and sticky to her. Had it been like this yesterday? Luna led Ji-Yeon a few feet away from the building before taking a deep breath.

"What the actual hell?" She barked, "Why were you in Wonho's shop last night?"

"I couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk," Ji-Yeon started, "I don't really know why I ended up there. But when I did, I just wanted to apologize for knocking over his tub of stuff and for ruining whatever it was he was working on."

"And?" Luna said.

Clearly, this girl was expecting more from her.

"Vincent showed up just as I was about to head back. Wonho hid me and then let me crash on the futon. Nothing else happened if that's what you're thinking," Ji-Yeon replied.
