Jaemin's POV:

"Calling your boyfriend?" The guy asked after snatching my phone and ending the call.
"Fancy meeting you here, baby. Missed me?" He asked as he and his friends sat down on the vacant seats in the booth I was sitting at, him beside me and his friends opposite to me. Their presence brought me back to the state I was in last time, weak and helpless. I moved away from the guy sitting beside me and squeezed in the corner.

"How's our little princess doing after getting us kicked out?"

"Um, I'm sorry, I have to go." I stood up and was about to walk past the guy when he blocked my path by putting his feet up on the table.

"Nope, you're not going anywhere, yet, princess. You still have to serve your majesty."
He got up and stood infront of me. With every step he took closer to me, my heart pounded harder against my chest.

It was dark outside and there were only a few customers in the cafe as it was nearing closing time. The guy grabbed my wrist and pulled me outside into the dark alley as his accomplices followed behind. My hands were shaking and fear had engulfed me all over again.
I tried loosening his grip but it was too tight.

This place looked so much scarier in the night, with the dim streetlamps and the absence of any form of living things. The loneliness was driving me insane and the thought of them being there made it worse.

He stopped when we reached a dead end and pushed me backwards, causing me to fall on the guy behind me. He caught me before I fell and while grinning, he shoved me towards the third guy. The third guy kicked me at the back of my knee and I fell on my knees.
I felt my whole body start to tremble as I wondered what state I would end up in.
Tears started falling out of my eyes before I could even fight them back.

The leader walked towards me and grabbed my hair to yank my head up to look him in the eye.

"You know, princess, we missed you. But, we're kind of mad at you for snitching on us." He took out a pocket knife from his jacket and opened it, the knife facing my direction as he brought it closer to my face.

"You can expect this to be painful. We won't have any mercy on you, tonight, princess." He spoke as he glided the blunt part across my jawline. The knife travelled across my jaw, down my neck, on my collarbones and only stopped where my shirt began. He turned the knife around so the sharp part was resting above it and slid it down, the black cotton shirt smoothly being ripped under it due to the thin material.
I broke out in cold sweat due to the knife being so close to my skin. With one swift move, he has the power to end my life right there.
He grabbed my shoulders and pushed me up against the wall and one of the guys holding a metal pipe walked towards me.

"What the hell, stop!"
My pathetic voice came out with difficulty, impactless but, nonetheless it was loud.

"Hey, what are you guys doing?" A female voice echoed.
Someone is here.

"H-help me.." I squeaked out with the last bit of energy left in me.

"Oh, it's just you." The woman walked closer to me, her heels making loud clicking noises. She looked very familiar, but my mind couldn't focus.

She glared at me before slapping me across the face.

"You fucking shit, you steal Jeno from me and you expect me to help you? Oppa, don't let him go. He's the one who caused Jeno to hate me." She smirked at me before she walked out of the alley.

"Make it gruesome, he deserves it." With that, she left.

"You heard her." The leader said as he pushed me to the floor and grabbed the metal pipe from the other guy.

He pulled it all the way back behind his head and with a sick and twisted smile on his face, brought it back down towards me.

Bracing myself for the impact, I shut my eyes, hoping that time would stop still and the hit would never come.

And it never did.

I slowly opened my eyes to see the guy still holding the metal pipe in that position, but someone was holding it back.

"Jaemin! Are you okay?"

A familiar black-haired, pale-skinned boy was all I saw infront of me before my vision blurred and my body gave out.

I'm sorry I cliff-hang too much, it's just that I'm always in doubt.
