3 - Behind The Mask

"You're kidding me right now... right? Tell me you really didn't go through that shitty plan of yours! Jesus Christ, tell me you're freaking joking!!" Jisoo exclaimed in the end after learning that her cousins had kidnapped someone from Kwon Dong Woo's family with the intention of doing the awful things that Jisung went thru.

"How low can you go, Chanyeol?!" She yelped at the man who's staring into an empty space.

Jimin remained silent as well at the corner while his cousin continues to prosecute both of them. But his gaze turned to his older brother, worrying with the sudden silence from him. After that evening, he just shut himself from the rest of them.

"Jisoo, I called you out here to help us to take care of the girl. Chanyeol doesn't want to go thru the original plan... but, since she's now our captive, we can just take advantage of the situation." Jimin muttered.

"I am not gonna help you hurt someone!" The girl refused strongly.

"No one will hurt her... I'm going to take her back." Chanyeol finally spoke softly but kept staring at nothing.

"What? No! After all we did just to get in there?... Okay! no one will hurt her but, we can just blackmail Dong Woo. Let's take Jisung's name out of humiliation! We are doing this for him! If they won't go through what we've went through then they should at least take back the shame they put our brother in!" Jimin protested strongly.

Jisoo was silenced with his words. She was also hurt and mad but never did she planned nor prayed for the worse to happen to the perpetrators. She thought that wishing the enemy ill fortune is the same as doing it.

All that she wanted was justice but not in the way her cousin's planned to. But for once, she agrees with Jimin. If they had Dong Woo's daughter, they can use her against him to even at least clear Jisung's name.

Chaeyoung woke up with the rays of the sun peeking through the window. And along with it was the soreness of last nights events.

Her throat feels parched and her lips are dried. The pain hasn't left but is much felt now as it is from last night as she remained tightly bound at the bed.

She looked around to see if anyone is in the room and when she found out she was alone, she started pulling her wrists again.

But as she struggles within the bound, the door opened, making her flinch and darting her gaze at the door which only revealed a beautiful woman, holding a tray with the delicious aroma of what could be breakfast.

The woman hastened to her bed and quickly untied her wrists while whispering, "I'm so sorry..."

As soon as bound was untied, Chaeyoung scurried over the corner of the bed by the wall and curled herself in defense of what this beauty might do to her for beauty has fooled her once.

"Please don't be afraid of me, I'm here to help you. And to apologise for what my cou--" Jisoo trailed off as her gaze were taken by the stains of drying blood upon the bed sheet. And when she looked at the girl's dress, she felt pity and shame at the same time for it also had stains of her pain.

She now knows that Jimin wasn't kidding when he told her what they had planned, and Chanyeol did broke this girl.

Chaeyoung stared at the woman's pained expression while looking at the blood upon the bed. And as her gaze trails this unknown beauty's gaze, it reminded her the visual proof of last night's sin.

The blood was the proof if his invasion, along with the soreness and pain she still feels.

"I... I know what my cousin did is unforgivable... But I promise you, no one will harm even a strand of your hair as long as I'm here." Jisoo says, feeling her tears form as she looks at the terrified girl, curling like a fetus, frightened of even her.
