12:00 am:
No way... It can't possibly be him right? Taehyung's too evil to even be him.... Yeah... It's not him....
I pushed the memory to the back of my mind. "Remember you? Tch, the first time I met you was when you kidnapped me. I don't even know you".
Taehyung is breathing heavily behind my back, as I am facing the door.
"Stop lying. I know you saw that polaroid of us together. You really thought you were stealthy, huh".
I quickly turn around to face him,"I just assumed it was a polaroid of your first attempt to kidnap me! I don't really care for the past anyways".
Taehyung looked at me in silence. Then he said,"Honey, you just earned yourself an extra hour in the Punishment Room. I suggest you to shut up and accept the past".
"I-I don't even know you! Even if we did meet in the past, you were probably just so unmemorable. Not my fault you're boring!"
That was the last straw for Taehyung. He was getting impatient.
He smirks,"Grace Lee, I guess I'll just have you in the Punishment Room for the whole night". He adds,"What a great way to start 2018".
Hah........ Why couldn't I keep my snarky comebacks down my throat...... Butttt, I'm not gonna back down!
"Make me".
He raises an eyebrow. "What makes you think you even have a choice?"
"You said it yourself! I'm an important asset to this plan. So I know you can't do anything to me". Heh, my my my, how the tables have turned.
"That doesn't mean we can't give you a couple of bruises though, can we?"
"I'll file a complaint at work or to the police"
"Tsk tsk tsk, our mafia is a network of so many people. You don't know who to trust Grace Lee".
My smug smile turned upside down. He's right..... Taehyung's mafia is filled with so many people, maybe even people I thought I could trust....
I clear my throat,"Look, Boss Kim, I don't want any trouble. I just want the money. Let's just end this talk here and move on?"
"Not until you remember me".
I curse to myself quietly,"Fine fine fine, I remember you! Now let's go back to the living room". I try to open the door but Taehyung slams it shut.
"No, I want you to tell me in detail what you remember about me"
He's seriously going down that road...
"Ok ok ok, I remember the chicken restaurant we went to 2 years ago. That's all I remember though".
"That's all you remember?", He asks.
I nod my head slowly.
"Liar. You're gonna have to stay in the Punishment Room for 24 hours now, goodbye Grace Lee".
"What the fu-"
Taehyung dips out of the basement and I'm left inside alone.
11:03 am:
"Hey bitch, wakey wakey".
My eyes flutter open to see Taehyung's evil grin plastered on his face.
"How was your first night in the Punishment Room?"
"Taehyung, cut the crap and get me some food", I bitterly respond.
Last night, I tried to tear the basement door down but it wouldn't budge. I eventually got tired and passed out sleeping. I didn't even get any food or water last night.
"Ahaha, I heard you pounding on the door all night. Yoongi was pissed off because he couldn't sleep with all your ruckus".
"Wow, my apologies. I'm so sorry that you guys couldn't sleep because I was trapped in the Punishment Room by some wicked mafia leader", I said sarcastically. "Now, gimme food Taehyung."
"Not just yet. Let me ask you one more time, do you remember me?"
"Vaguely", I sighed.
"Wrong answer, 6 more hours in the Punishment Room".
He turns to leave when I blurted,"WAIT! It'll take me time to remember! And plus, I can't think properly because I'm so hungry! Gimme some damn food Taehyung!", I shout angrily.
He paused to think. With his chin resting in his hand, he finally declares,"Fine, follow me to the kitchen".
Yippeeee!!!!
We finally made our way to the kitchen. I hungrily snatched a bunch of food from the cabinets and fridge.
As I was happily munching on some shrimp chips, Taehyung asks again,"Now do you remember me?"
"Nah", I say licking the chip dust off of my fingers.
"Wrong answer again, 12 more hours in the Punishment Room".
"Fine by me. As long as I don't see your face", I snapped.
"Hmmm. Let me adjust your consequence: 12 more hours in the Punishment Room with me".
"Taehyung.... Are you seriously going to waste half a day on me???"
"If it means your suffering, then gladly", he says smugly.
I gulp,"What would you even do to me in th-the Punishment Room....?"
"That's beyond your wildest dreams", he says licking his lips. Then he adds,"Or should I say nightmares".
"Hah.... Taehyung... Stop joking!", I say dryly.
"The only joke is your life. Now, let's go to the Punishment Room". With that, he swiftly lifts me up and carries me down to the Punishment Room. I'm screaming and pounding his back the whole time but he doesn't even budge.
1:03 pm:
"AGHHHJJJJSKSKF TAEHYUNG STOP, NO, NO, NO, NOT THIS!!!!", I scream hysterically.
Taehyung cackled,"If you keep on saying 'no' then I will just continue doing it!"
"OKAY, FINE, YES KEEP ON DOING IT!"
Taehyung was indeed torturing me. Torturing me with forehead flicks.
Whenever he would ask me a question and I answered it wrong he would give me three, hard flicks on my head.
Taehyung picked up a small mirror and made me look at myself. My forehead was damn purple. I swear, I could see my veins.
I muttered,"Damn you to hell, Kim-Taehyung. I swear to God after this heist, I'm going to buy my own nuclear weapon and kill you".
Taehyung set down the mirror and smugly said,"I guess we'll have to start World War III then because I'll kill you before you kill me".
Sighing, I say,"No matter what, I won't be able to remember you. Just.... Give me some time and maybe, if you're lucky, I'll remember".
Taehyung remains silent. Then he reluctantly says,"Okay, I'll give it time. If in the end you don't remember, consider the Punishment Room as your home". He grins slyly.
I scoff,"Even though this is an unfair deal, I'll respect you, you murderer".
"First things first, I'm not a murderer. I'm a high-class thief. Now, some people MAY die as collateral damage but that's not my fault".
I gulp.
Taehyung continues,"Second of all, this is more than a fair deal. You wouldn't get your share of the money if it weren't for me. I'll release you from the Punishment Room".
Then he adds,"For now".
With that, he untied me from the cold metal chair.
"Oh and by the way, if it helps jog your memory, you and I were lovers in the past", he states bluntly.
