She woke up in a fright, her vision blinded by a piece of cloth of her eyes. She was bounded to a wooden chair.

Last she remembered was being kicked to the ground and beaten by multiple people, brutally. The pain was far too unbearable for her to handle, causing her to pass out.

Her lips trembled as tears came to her eyes. Everything in her body hurt and she worried she would not get out of this situation anytime soon. Her small whimpers attracted heavy footsteps that got louder as the figure got closer.

"You've awakened, I see. You know, for someone who's the soulmate of one of the most ruthless people known, you're quite weak."

She was confused. How did he know who her soulmate was? She had no recollection of ever meeting her soulmate, so how could it be possible that this man knew?

"I-I have n-no soulm-mate," she trembled, her voice hoarse from the lack of water.

The man chuckled deeply, "oh if only you knew, princess. We'll be seeing him soon, so be prepared!"

And with that he walked away, his footsteps becoming softer as he grew father away.

Once alone, she let out her sobs. She had no understanding of why she was in this position in the first place. She did not know of a soulmate, how could they use that to their advantage?

She couldn't remember how she got here. Last she remembered was talking to Daniel after he came back late last night. She must've gone to sleep afterward because she couldn't remember anything after that.

She prayed that Daniel had tried looking for her or was sending out a search party for her. Every day was a new hell for her to endure, and eventually, she wouldn't be able to take it anymore. She was growing weaker and weaker by the second.

She hadn't had food in days. Her throat craved for some form of relief after her screams of pain. Her body was bruised all over and she could barely move without feeling pain shooting up her body. All she could do was sit there and wonder what she had done to deserve this.

"I'm fucking going insane."

The members exchanged looks as Jimin was close to ripping his hair out. He hadn't slept wink since his disturbing conversation with the W1 gang leader. He swore, even if it killed him, he would bring Seulgi back to him and he would inflict ten times the amount of pain that leader had brought to Seulgi.

"Namjoon, where are we on the base information?" Jimin questioned, running his hands through his hair for what seemed like the millionth time today.

"I'm almost through, Boss. He's going to crack today, I can feel it," Namjoon replied, feeling guilty for the lack of information that was preventing them from executing the plan.

"Alright good. Jungkook, how are the other members preparing for the raid?"

"Exceeding all expectations, Boss. Especially with the new weapon inventions Hoseok has made. W1 isn't gonna know what hit 'em," Jungkook smirked proudly.

Jimin was starting to calm down, settling down in his chair. "Alright, I like what I'm hearing. Anyone else have any news for me?"

They exchanged looks once more, no one saying anything. Jimin nodded and the members started to file outside of the meeting room, proceeding on with their daily activities. Jungkook stayed behind, taking a seat next to Jimin.

"How are you holding up?" He asked.

"I just want her back, Kook. I want to hold her in my arms and tell her that I won't let anyone hurt her again. I want to kiss her bruises and cuts. It seems like I can feel every pain inflicted on her and it's driving me insane knowing that she's getting hurt. And because of me."
