Chapter 1: Sacrifice

Yeji's POV

Skipping after school, feeling the evening breeze. The cold air kissing my face as I was close to my destination.

This is the best day ever! Since I got the highest remark on my defense. I know my parents would be proud of me, I want to make them happy too! Because it's eomma's birthday.

As I got to the gate of my house, I saw by the window a man suited in black his figure was unfamiliar. Maybe a visitor. I opened the gate and got in to my house.

I was about to greet my parents when there were guns pointed at me as soon as I got in. My smile faded in an instant, my good mood popped like a bubble.

"Now who do we have here" a man from behind the other guy came out. He looked like a little bit older than me, but still looked youthful. He has this aura different from the other men around us.

"NO PLEASE! I'M BEGGING YOU! DON'T HURT HER!" my mom cried for mercy but the guy just slapped her. I was about to move but they held me. Me and my parents are trembling in fear right now. Not a good day after all..

"Beautiful," the guy earlier held my face and he looked at every angle of it. He was making me look at him in the eyes but I always look away.

"W-what are you doing-g?" I finally spoke something, but I immediately regretted it, as I saw an evil smirk on his face.

"Such a fragile piece." then he looked at my parents. "Let's make a deal Yesun and Juson. I'll take this," he pointed at me. "Or all three of your lives."

"Mr. Kim, please not our daughter." my father begged in front of the lad.

"If I won't get her, I will take her purity while killing her slowly in front of you two and after that I'll take your lives."

My parents was left dumbfounded, they didn't know what to do. I stepped up and took a deep sigh.

"Take me instead, but," I looked at him with my teary eyes. He just looked at me, still having that smirk on his face. "..please don't hurt them.."

I heard my mother's whimper, dad can't look at me. But I know he's crying. He doesn't want to show us that he's crying.

"Now that's a good girl, but if you don't fulfill your promise. I'll throw you and your family to the sea and let you drown there." I just nodded, I just want my parents to be safe. "You may give your last words to each other before I take you away." I quickly hugged them and we started crying.

"I'm sorry that we can't give you the life that you deserve.. thank you sweetheart for saving us, when we have a chance. We'll get you back. We promise, We love you." they kissed my forehead.

"I love you too Mom and Dad." I said, giving them the tightest hug.

"Will you look at that, time's up babygirl. Let's get going." the man said, then two unknown dudes are pulling me in to the car. They sat me at the back, beside him.

After a few minutes, the car started moving. I just kept silent while crying my butt out. I don't know when will I see them again but I hope soon.

"Hey babygirl, relax. Just behave and follow the rules then we won't hurt your parents." he held my hand but I immediately took it away. I heard him sigh.

I just thought of the memories I had with my parents. All the happy ones, and thinking of it makes me cry more and more. The guy is just looking at me the whole trip.

I still can't understand why this is happening in the first place. All this time my parents was keeping a secret from me, their own daughter.

I didn't realize because I was not in my right mind, I fell asleep..

I WOKE up on an unfamiliar bedroom. The color of it was mostly gray, black and white. Even my clothes are changed in to a night gown. I touched my body, checking if I feel something weird but luckily I seemed touched by a good person.

"Oh you're awake," I was startled and quickly looked at the door. It was the guy earlier, the one that slapped my mom.

"W-where am I?" I stuttered. Damn Hwang Yeji get yourself together.

"You're in our room." he plainly answered.

"Our room?" I asked emphasizing the word 'our'

"Well yeah, since you're mine now. You will sleep beside me every night of your life."

"O-oh" I couldn't oppose anymore. I agreed to this. If I don't obey, my parents will get hurt.

"Let's eat dinner now, babygirl." he carried me bridal style. I quickly swung my arms to his neck, still startled of his sudden move.

"I can walk sir," I said because I feel awkward.

"Drop the formalities babygirl, just call me Yeonjun." he said with his husky voice.

I kept silent until he placed me on a chair, in front of me are a lot of food. I just stared at it while Yeonjun is already digging in.

He finally noticed that I wasn't eating. He took my plate and put a lot of food in it, he placed it in front of me. "Finish that or you won't be getting food tomorrow," he said with a cold tone. Honestly, I can't finish this whole meal but if I don't finish it I won't have food tomorrow.

I sighed before digging in, I saw the smirk on his face. I just continued what I'm eating.

Luckily I finished the whole meal, but my tummy is aching from that. I think I can't be sleeping tonight.

I'm now in 'our' room, I'm just seating on the couch while he's at the balcony, smoking. I have never thought that such a young man could be smoking. I have never even touched a shot glass. I'm just waiting for me to digest what I ate.

"What's the matter babygirl? Can't sleep," I quickly looked up to him, stared at his swollen eyes. I nodded in response, I don't want to talk just for this night.

He kneeled down in front of me and caressed my cheek. While me, I'm still looking at him. He held my hand and kissed it a lot of times. I don't know why he's sweet all of a sudden, like he didn't almost killed my parents and took me away from them.

"Get some sleep.. We have a long day tomorrow."
