His eyes were glowing fucking blue. You froze, feeling like a deer in the headlights. He looked into your eyes, searching for something. Then you were being yanked up by him and dragged out of the room. You kicked and struggled against him but it didn't even seem to faze him. His asshole friends followed behind, not even batting an eye at your distress. The halls had a homey feeling. It was warm in this place. It was a stark contrast to the basement limbo you had been in.

Kicking and struggling, yet not making much more noise than small huff and grunts, you arrived in a wide open room. Scanning the room, you noticed three other men. Dressed in suits of black. You only recognized one face among them, his hair shining elegant orange in the well lit room. The other two men had distinguishing factors. One had brown short hair, with brown eyes that bore into you strongly. His shoulders, while all the other men in the room were definitely ripped as well, were quite broad. He seemed to catch you analyzing him and leaned over to whisper something to the man next to him. This man had black hair, his eyes almost the same shade of brown as the other. He was uninterested with you, his eyes focused on the phone in his hands. Upon hearing the taller brunette talk to him his eyes glanced up and scanned you. He looked you up and down and you realized that your wounds didn't ache. Tearing your eyes away from the men in front of you, you looked down to observe your body. Gasping you realized your wounds had been patched perfectly. Your body covered in bandages, the clothes still a bloody mess.

Looking up, you yelped and jumped back into what you assumed was Tae behind you. The broad shouldered brunette was standing in front of you, eyes calculating your reaction. You heard a huff from behind and then you were being restricted by a pair of arms. The brunette leaned forward and breathed in rather heavily. Your eyes were wide in fear, all curiosity about these men having left your brain. You needed to find a way out, you knew that you had to be above ground now. If you weren't then you didn't know what you would believe.

"You won't be able to run" His words coming out rugged and dry. He stared at you like a predator. One who had decided they wanted to give their prey a few more breaths before the kill. Your breath hitched in your throat and you didn't dare move, what is it with these men and being able to pin you to your spot? He lazily drew his eyes up and down your body again before speaking.

"What do you know about NCT." It was a question you had heard before.

"Nothing." you answered voice not wavering.

"What about Red Velvet?"

You continued to go back and forth until finally irritation got to you.

"What's the point of this?" You interrupted him, all the men were still in the room. Upon hearing you talk back to him, their eyes started to burn into you. He looked at you, almost calculating if you had really just interrupted him.

"What did you just say."

Feeling heat rising on your skin you answered him in the worst way you possibly could.

"You heard me asshole"

Without even a sound you watched his hand raise. You felt something swipe across with a sound that you couldn't really describe. Stunned you watched his hand lower as he looked at your eyes. Then you felt liquid seep across your cheek and onto the corner of your lip. Had he just cut you?

"Don't interrupt me." He said it nonchalantly, going back to analyzing your expressions as you assumed he would. Just as he was about to ask another question you interjected again, albeit more cautious than before.

"I just..want to know if you're going to kill me or not." the words had come from somewhere deep within. This entire time you hadn't really thought about it. But now here when things were so calm you wanted to know what they would do to you. The question seemed to catch him off guard, his eyes softening for a second. He continued to look at you, mulling over your words most likely. Taking this as your chance you spoke again.

"I really don't know what any of these things are. These titles or whatever they are, I don't know what they mean." Your words resonated and the brunette looked at you deeply, eyes calculating. Finally he let out a sigh and got up.

"She really doesn't know anything." It was such a relief to hear those words, releasing a breath that you hadn't even realized you were holding.

"Then she's of no use to us anymore." A voice spoke behind you. It's icy tone not lost on your ears. You couldn't see him, but you could feel how cold his stare was on your back. He didn't mean well with his words. He was saying that you had been a tool all this time. They were going to kill you regardless. Your heart beat sporatically as you felt panic rise, and you struggled to keep your breathing normal. You averted your eyes to the floor, trying to get them to be less blurry. Trying to blink the tears away. Your life would be for nothing, you wouldn't ever see (f/n) again. You would die here among these psychopaths. They would probably let you starve. Throw your body away in that basement of theirs. You had been right this was hell. You needed to get out. Out. Out. Out.

*SMACK*

Your tearful eyes and quick breath hitched. Your head forced to the side by a quick slap. Blinking you took in the marble floor as your eyes adjusted. Turning slowly to face front and center you were met with the teal man. His eyes as cold as his voice. His posture rather stiff. He looked down at you with an unreadable expression. Then he was reaching down to pick you up. The room was silent now, the eyes still on you. As you were dragged out, you caught sight of them gathering around to focus on one silver haired man. You were sure he wasn't there when you first entered the room. He watched you get dragged out, with his eyes of burning gold.
