One Boring Sunday...

Skit 7: Doll

"You'll be free from now on."

Heart thumping so fast, Jin was holding Irene's hand tightly while trying to escape on the mansion that served as her dungeon. This is his only chance to save the lonely girl on the hands of the sleeping beast. Not that he's scared of the owner but casualty will be lesser if he'll just do it in his absence. He can't stand how the girl has been physically abused just by looking at her bruises predominantly seen on her fair skin.

"Where are we going?"

"On a place so far away here."

The indifferent expression of Irene turned into an unsure one. She lightly pulled her hand away from his'.

"Don't be scared. Trust me." Jin sincerely assured the girl and focus again on the path going out of the mansion. "We are almost there." He announced gladly when he saw the main door that will make the plan succesful. The girl, though running away with Jin, looked up at the staircase. She closed her eyes for a second or two, and the moment she opened it, a silhouette of a man appeared on the dark place.

Before Jin can finally sighed in relief, the lights turned on and a cold voice surfaced that made him stopped.

"I'm glad that you're enjoying my girl's company. Though, it's not the best day of having a visitor."

Jin frozed and cussed before he turned to the guy, slowly going down the staircase. "Suga." He hold the girl's hand tightly which made the latter raised his brows.

"Today was my whole day schedule of sleep. You know, some kind of hibernation for humans."

"I'm sorry to disturbed your so called hibernation. Don't worry. I'll be leaving now."

Jin step forward along with Irene but,

"Mind giving me my girl first, before you leave?"

The thought of the beast treating Irene as some kind of a toy drew him impatient. Jin faced the cold guy with an evident anger while the other remained a straight face.

"I will take her with me." He said with gritted teeth.

Suga stopped on his living room, touching the headrest of a one sitter couch, while nodding his head on what he heard. He laughed afterwards that made the girl jumped.

Thinking that it was because of fear, Jin moved closer to Irene and put his arms around her. Suga's eyebrows shot while watching them.

"What are you talking about, Seokjin? She's mine." The arrogant voice he used pushes Jin's anger into limit.

"She's not yours! She's nobody's property! She owns her life. Stop making her suffer and let her free! Let her live like a normal person!"

Jin's loud voice echoed from the corners of the mansion.

"But.." Suga grinned then lifted his hand, looking intently at the girl, just like inviting her to come with him. "Look."

As if getting hypnotized, Irene tried to reach for the hand being offered to her. She's starting to struggle on Jin's arms but Jin put down her hands and tighten his grip on her.

"Stop controlling her! Release her!"

Getting impatient by the way he holds Irene, Suga decided to proved a point.

He sat on the couch beside him.

Seeing the Princess on the arms of her Prince-wanna-be reminds him of those scenes on a fairytale where he is the dragon, or the beast, or any mad animal who's needed to be killed for the so called 'Happy ending.' He grinned at the thought of it.

"This whole fairytale drama was getting annoying. How many Princes are still there and will come in my house just for this saving thing. Having five to six men in a year cursing me is not really heartwarming."

Jin was surprised knowing that he's not the first who do the act but he's still determined to leave the place with the girl.

"Don't worry. This will be the last time because I'm not going without her. Why not try to just leave her alone and let her go? Problem solved, e? Annoying people like me will be gone."

"Okay."

Irene stiffened but Jin didn't noticed it because of the hope slowly climbing on his system for what Suga replied.

"That was really a great idea. But do you want to know why she was still here and never get saved?" Suga leaned his head on the headrest of the couch.

"Because you are interfering and snagging everyone who tried!" Jin accused.

"The hell would I do that? Ugh-this is taking too long. Leave. I'm still sleepy. You may bring her-"

Jin smiled at Irene, assuring her that everything is now okay. He held her arms again and lead her on the door. "Let's go-"

"-if she wanted to."

Jin shifted again at the cold guy in the couch who's now closing his eyes. "What?"

Suga opened his eyes for it to be closed again because of his laughters. "I knew it. You haven't even asked her yet."

Jin looked at Irene who's just looking down and not saying anything. He bowed just to see her eyes filled with unshed tears. Thinking that it was tears of freedom and joy, he patted her head. "You'll gonna be free from now on, Irene. You don't need to hold back and stay in this place. Let's go."

Suga's eyes darted on the door where the two just got out. He started to count in a descending way..

On the other hand, a pulled from Irene stopped Jin from walking just after they walk outside the main door of her dungeon.

"Com'on, Irene. Let's go.." but Irene winced from Jin's hold with tears now streaming on her glossy cheeks. "What are you-"

"Let me go." She said softly. Though surprise, Jin tried to catch and pull back Irene's slipping hand. Escaping here is the only wish she wanted, isn't it? Or not?

He can clearly remembered the girl's dreams. The normal life she wanted. The things she wanted to experience. And the only thing that was preventing her to do whatever she wanted was Suga. Because she's Suga's property! Why would she reject the opportunity to make her dreams come true? He is hurting her! She's like a slave in that mansion!

"This is your chance to-"

"I don't want to go!"

Jin eyes widened as he shook his head. Impossible. He can't believe that the girl he's been fighting for and protecting all along will not choose him. This is their chance to leave the place. His chance to make Irene love him like he do without Suga's hindrance. But as Irene pushed him just to slipped away and run inside the mansion, the chances and hopes that has been built in his heart slowly broke into pieces.

Jin shook his head and tried to think of the things why she would chose the beast instead of him. The sudden idea of still controlling her came so he quickly moved his feet to follow Irene inside but what he saw made him doubt about everything he's believing.

Irene was already on Suga's lap, crying her frustrations on his chest while the latter just continued laughing playfully with her amusing reaction. Everything shred for Jin. The happiness he assumed, the hopes of illusion he believes. 'She loves him.' He was on that kind of thinking when Irene suddenly shifted onto him. She whispered some incomprehensible words while looking at Jin sharply and in a snap, Jin dropped on the mansion's red carpeted floor.

"You don't need to do that. I'm sure he was about to leave."

Suga rose to see Jin's face slowly going unconscious. Irene just gave him a deathly stare before running on the staircase to go to his room. "Stupid.."

Suga chuckled as he reached Jin's place. "I think I proved my point, e? I already told you. She's mine."

Seokjin completely drifted to unconciousness after totally comprehensing what Suga said.
