The car journey was silent. I was sat in the passenger seat, insisted by my father and Kai. Taeyong was driving. I didn't even dare glance over at him.

Once we arrived we all got out, I noticed some of the rest of NCT 127 parked further down. I couldn't believe we were going shopping when I needed this much amount of security. How stupid was my father?

"Eunji, if you like something, don't hesitate to get it, I've got it covered," my father said to me while pulling his card out of his pocket and waving it slightly.

"Let's go then," my father started walking into the shopping centre. Kai lightly put his hand around my waist and lead me, following my father. Taeyong trailed behind us. I felt awful.

My father first went into Gucci, I truly felt out of place. I just stared at the price tags in horror, trying not to touch anything.

"Pick a bag," Kai said into my ear.

"No thanks," I replied bluntly, moving away from his arm finally.

"It will please your father," he gave me a knowing look. I looked over his shoulder at Taeyong who was looking at me worriedly.

I just picked the cheapest bag I could find and set it on the counter, smiling at my disgusting father in front of me.

"Do you mind if I get this?" I smiled sickly.

"Of course Eunji!" My father beamed back at me. I felt sick. I wasn't sure how much longer I could keep up with this.

"Just these please," my father said to the male cashier. His eyes went wide.

"Are you Lee Sooman?"

"Yes, that's me," my father bragged.

"Just checking," the cashiers face went dark as he pulled out a gun from behind the counter. I froze as Kai slowly edged in front of me. Idiot.

I had no idea where Taeyong was as the cashier threatened us with a gun. My breathing went rapid.

"What do you want?" My father asked coldly.

"I want your daughter," he switched the gun to aim at me. I froze, barely breathing.

"My boss needs her, so you're gonna hand her over otherwise I'll shoot you and Jongin," he continued. Who?

I was desperately wishing Taeyong would turn up right about now. Where the hell did he go?

"Take her then."

I looked at my father in shock as he roughly grabbed me and pushed me over to the man holding the gun. I gasped lightly out of shock.

I couldn't form words as my father just stared at me, he retreated slowly, gaining his escape after handing me over. Kai looked at me sadly and then followed him out.

I was now alone with the man holding a gun to my head.

"I'm tying you up, this can be easy or hard, it's your choice," he went to grab the ropes on the floor and I ran for it. I took the opportunity to get away, that's when a gunshot went straight through my leg and I collapsed to the floor in utter pain. I tried to scream but no sound came out.

"My boss is not going to be happy now," the man tutted as he made his way over and tied my arms behind me and blindfolded me.

"Get your hands off her," I heard Taeyong, finally.

"I'll shoot her again if you come any closer."

Tears came out of my eyes, weeping into the fabric covering them.

"Taeyong, take him out, no matter the cost," I heard my father's voice return. Why was he back?

"I'll kill her if you come any closer!"

I heard the footsteps stop dead. I assumed the rest of NCT 127 were there as well but I had no way of knowing. I hoped they were.

"Just put down the gun and we won't do anything," Taeyong tried to reason.

"No fuckin way! I need to take her to my boss! He'll kill me if I come back empty handed...we need her as leverage...I gotta take her," he started mumbling like a mad man. I would have felt sorry for him if I didn't feel the blood oozing out of my bullet wound in my leg. The man above me was still muttering.

"Who's your boss?" Kai asked.

"Yang Hyunsuk...he's gonna kill me."

"Where are you taking her?" Kai pressed on. I realised he was trying to get information. Couldn't he wait? Not like I was bleeding over here.

"The HQ...397-5 Hapjeong-dong...I gotta take her."

He was truly crazy, he kept muttering and shifting, it made me uneasy.

I heard a gunshot and flinched as I felt a body slump next to me. Someone lifted my blindfold and wiped the tears from my face, Taeyong.

"It's gonna be ok," he said before I blacked out completely, his face the last thing I see.
