8. Goodnight: Part 2

3rd Person's POV

Yoona sat up, her head pounding.

It took a while for her to adjust to her surroundings, as soon as she could see in the dark damp place, she looked around for her mum.

Her heart beat frantically in her chest as she looked to find her, but she couldn't see anything. Yoona finally heard a soft groan coming from the corner of the room.

She scrambled over to find her mum, beaten and bloodied, looking half alive. She let out a broken sob from the shock of seeing her hurt, but also from the relief of finding her alive and breathing.

"Y-" she hacked a bloody cough "Yoona is- is that you" she said, her voice strained and gravelly, as if minutes before, screams poured endlessly from her tired body.

Yoona tried to get closer to help her up, but soon found that she was chained to the floor, her ankles scraped and bloody from where the restraints had been tightly locked.

"Mum" Yoona cried, relief flooding through her at the sound of her mothers voice, "I can't move" she struggled against the shackles binding her, "I can't I-" her breathing got heavier "I'm scared, what- where are we? Whats going to happen to us" she said, her voice growing thin as she panicked.

Her mothers voice sounded from the dark corner of the room "it'll be okay my love, I won't let him touch you" she took a deep breath "ever" she sounded raspy, as if she had just swallowed sandpaper.

She spoke again, "Yoona, I have to tell you something-"

They heard someone picking at the door, before it creaked open, shedding a sliver of light on Heejin's face. Yoona gasped when she saw her mother on the floor, her face just. Broken.

Chanyeol slipped through the door, and quietly closed it behind himself.

"Oh thank god you guys are okay" he breathed, moving closer to Yoona.

Heejin snarled, a warning for him not to get any closer.

"Wait mum, I think he's okay" she said, "while I was being chased by that man" she spat "he saw me but didn't tell anyone else that he saw me" Yoona looked at Chanyeol, "Why are you here? and why are you helping us?"

Chanyeol sighed "well... we- no, they got sucked into Park Jinyoung's compulsion, and fell in love with his raw, unrestricted power" he glanced down at his feet, where he had ended up sitting on the ground with them. "They ended up dragging me with them, and I just got caught up in all this shit" he shifted in his seated position, "I never wanted any of this to happen, but I was so afraid that if I didn't play along that they would hurt me or worse my family"

Yoona watched as a few tears slid down Chanyeol's face.

"At first I thought it would be fine- I would be fine, as long as Baekhyun was with me" he sniffed, trying to calm himself "but... in the last few months he has grown so distant and cold, so... different that I can't even recognize him most days" he trailed off, falling into a heavy silence.

After a minute, Chanyeol lifted himself from the floor, making his way a little closer to Heejin. She flinched away, pushing her back to the wall. Chanyeol stopped walking and glanced over to Yoona watching her face.

"Mum it's okay he's trying to help you" Yoona whispered, staring back at Chanyeol, giving him a sad smile.

Heejin nodded letting her body relax, slumping over. Chanyeol knelt down beside her, raising his wrist to his lips. Heejin's eyes widened as he pulled away offering his arm to her, blood slowly dripping down his pale skin onto the cold floor.
