I anxiously tapped my fingernails against the wooden table I was sitting at, waiting for Yoongi and Taehyung to get back upstairs. I remember both boys shaking their heads with an ironic laugh when I asked them if I was allowed outside my room again.

They were currently in the basement, talking to someone I didn't believe I'd ever have to see again. I didn't know how we lived under the same roof for months and I didn't notice. But how could I?

Jimin or the boys didn't bother to mention even once, that Chung Cha was being held captive in the basement all along.

My head perked up when the thick steel door got pushed open and Yoongi appeared in the hallway, followed by Taehyung. I jumped off the chair and waited for them to enter the living room.

"What did she say?" I asked impatiently and tried scanning their, sadly motionless, faces.

Yoongi gave me an approving nod, "We didn't give her much of a choice.. and considering the fact that we've been keeping her for a few months now, it wasn't odd for her to agree right away."

I smiled a little, realizing that our plan would actually succeed.

Our plan.

Flashback...

"None of us can actually take part when you escape. We can't allow Jimin to think one of us helped you." Yoongi explained and I nodded my head.

"Well, but who is gonna take part then? I surely can't do it alone."

I caught both men giving each other a chaste glance and a wary feeling instantly spread inside my stomach.
"We've been meaning to tell you for a while now but—" Taehyung trailed off but my patience was wearing off, "I don't mean to be rude, but please just get to the point."

"After you and Chung met up in the park and Chanyeol tried choking you, Jungkook, Taehyung and me took her and kept her hostage ever since."
My eyes widened and I was about to interfere but Yoongi calmly continued, "We tried various ways of getting her to talk about Exo and her motives, but she barely opened her mouth."

I shuddered when I pictured the boys torturing my once best friend for months and a question immediately appeared in my mind, "But you've been keeping her for months now and she still hasn't talked. Why haven't you killed her or set her free yet?"

Taehyung shrugged and thus his brown hair fell into his view.
"We're keeping her to blackmail Exo. We've stopped torturing her after a month and simply let her rot down there with the maids occasionally taking care of her."

I furrowed my eyebrows and a bitter taste laced on my tongue when I tried comprehending the new information.

"I'm sorry, we couldn't tell you." Taehyung gave my head a light pat and then threw himself onto the sofa.
"Jimin didn't want you to stress out even more."
