Weighing my pros and cons seems like the best thing to do right now. Telling Taeyong about my non-existent powers, con. Trying to escape and being beaten and tortured, con. Being sold or ransomed back to BTS, con but maybe a pro at this point. Hitting my head so hard that I can escape from the infirmary, pro. Trying to escape and making it into freedom, pro. I sigh at my sad list. I need to get out of here but that's not going to happen. Pulling myself onto my feet, I lay myself on the bed and notice the weird thing at the end of the bed. I turn my head to the bedside table and see a remote. "Yay! TV" I whisper yell to myself. I stretch my arms and gleefully grab the remote and point it at the table thing at the end of the bed. When I press the 'power' button a tv starts to raise from the table. "Oh, my, god. That's wicked cool" I say. There's no service so I get up to look inside the cabinets. A stack of movies greets my eyes and I internally squeal, I absolutely love movies. Scanning my choices I read off the titles. "Deadpool. Moana. Fifty shades of grey, um okay. Fifty shades of freed, hah he's obsessed. Frozen. Spiderman. Batman returns. Narnia the lion the witch and the wardrobe. Twilight, really? And, oh! Riverdale seasons one and two, I love that show. I l push the DVD into the side of the tv and plop myself onto the bed, rearranging the covers around me.

About halfway through season one, the door creaks open and a smiling face greets me. "Hi! I'm Johnny, I thought you might be hungry, so I brought you some food. I wasn't quite sure what you liked so I have soup, meat, and salad." He says, gesturing to his tray of assortments. "Um, Hi. I'm Jess." I say. He walks up to me and shyly looks at the tv. "Oh yay! Riverdale, I love this show. Do you mind?" He says, pointing to the spot next to me. I just shake my head, so he comes and lies down in the empty space quietly, placing the tray in front of me. I pick the soup and we both sit in silence, watching episode 11.

We had both made it to season 2 episode 8 with tons of commentary. Something along the lines of, "They should totally be together" and "Yeah, maybe I guess. But his relationship with Veronica is so much hotter" and it felt kind of weird to be spending so much time with someone I barely know. Taeyong probably sent him in to keep and eye on me and he was just being nice. I take a long yawn and Johnny looks at his watch. "Wow, its already 11 pm." He says. "Wait, the episodes not over yet. Don't you want to see what happens to Jug? Come on. You can't back out now." I say, and he shakes his head side to side. "Alright, thirty more minutes." He agrees. We continue watching the unfolding scene, but I can't stop my head from drooping, so I lay it down on my arms. My eyelids start to do the same, so I close them and listen to the tv.

"What's this?" Is all I hear before I shoot my head up and groan. I fell asleep. No! I missed two episodes. I look over at the door and there stands Taeyong. His face looks madder than a bull at a bull fight. I look next to me and I see a sleeping Johnny. I poke him gently and he wakes up, startled a little. His face goes pale when he notices Taeyong standing in the doorway. "I told you to bring her food, not sleep with her." He growls. "I... Sorry." Johnny stutters. 'Is everyone afraid of him?' I wonder. Johnny takes his que and leaves, taking the food tray with him. Taking one more look at his face, I decide to just turn around and look at the wall. "You're a prisoner, not a guest." He says coldly. He walks towards the mystery door, which I now know is a closet and shuts himself inside. "Horny dude's back." I whisper to myself. I close my eyes and let myself drift again, I don't think he'll need me anytime soon
