The moment Wendy hurriedly ran inside the mansion and stood in the hallway, she could see how Irene was holding a knife dripping blood while closing Seulgi's door muting her heartbreaking screams.

The blonde was left in shock, she couldn't move, not a single muscle responded to her commands until Irene angrily shut her office door.

After a few seconds, Wendy entered the room only to see Seulgi sitting in a river of blood coming from her right leg, she was screaming in pain and handcuffed. This is not happening definitely not happening. She thought.

"YERI! BRING THE FIRST AID KIT HURRY!" Wendy rapidly tried to stop the bleeding by taking off her shirt and wrapping it around the younger's thigh.

"I won't try to escape I promise just don't hurt me don't hurt me I promise I promise I won't..!" Seulgi breathed irregularly, she was in a state of panic, the blonde wrapped her arms around her head and rested it on her chest making sure Seulgi feels protected.

Yeri came in a saw this scene, it's not as hardcore as what she sees and does everyday but it was very shocking. She didn't waste time and started to heal the wound.

"Is she going to be okay?" Wendy worriedly asked.

"Of course she will, it's just stab in the leg, it's a bit deep but didn't reach nerves, tendons or blood vessels. Seulgi can you move your toes?" Seulgi did as told, Yeri was just taking care of the wound.

"See? Nothing major happened, just hold on a bit it'll be over soon." Wendy kept Seulgi close while she hid her face due to the unbearable pain.

Inside the office Irene was a mess to say the least, she dropped down on the floor due to the strong headache, the voices started speaking once again not letting her alone.

Everybody leaves you.

Nobody wants you near.

You're a monster.

Nobody will ever love you what do you think Wendy will say about you when she finds out what you did? Haha pathetic.

"Shut up... SHUT UP!" Irene threw the knife somewhere in the room, but it landed right into her family portrait. The picture fell down from the wall and broke into little pieces.

She got closer to it and took the picture in her hands, there she was her father, the mother that had abandoned them, this innocent kid named Joohyun. What happened? At what point their smiles were erased and replaced with a straight line in their lips?.

"Have you lost your mind Joohyun?!" Suddenly someone stormed inside her comfort place and it was Wendy, as she had expected.

"Not yet." Irene spoke with a very uninterested tone.

"Why did you hurt Seulgi like that? She was shivering in fear!"


"She disobeyed me."

"Joohyun I'm being serious here, don't hurt Seulgi like that ever again she could've died with the amount of blood her leg was pouring out! Yeri and I had to help her."

"What do you want me to say? Sorry?! Or what? WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!" Irene finally stood up and faced Wendy with furrowed eyebrows.

"Don't treat her like that or you'll seriously cause her trauma, instead of making her obedient you are giving her reasons to leave." Irene moved to sit down on her desk. "I'm just worried about both of you, if she's making you do these horrible things is better to let her go."

"I just need time by myself my mind is killing me." Irene stared at the nothing for a while.

"Joohyun don't avoid the topic, I swear if you keep hurting her I'm-"

"Leave me alone I need time to think about it."

Wendy swallowed her words and exited closing the door very lightly making a tiny click noise.

Irene was mentally drained, she just wanted to disappear at that moment, she looked at the picture that was still in her hands and tore it right in the middle, dividing herself into two and threw it in the trash.

In Seulgi's room Yeri was sitting by her side making her company since Wendy and Irene were making noise she wanted to distract her so she won't have to cry again.

"I'll dye my hair again, What color would look good on me?" She asked Seulgi and not a single word came out of her mouth.

"Ehm... I think I might go with pink hair, since it may favorite color, what's yours?" Yeri insisted in asking questions while Seulgi started at the floor.

Well of course she won't talk she's been through some horrible events. Yeri sighed and also looked down at the floor to find something interesting.

"Why do you stay with Irene if she does these things?, I don't understand, you Joy and Wendy love her so much..." Seulgi said in a whisper.

Yeri remained silent for a while, staring that the ceiling and a smile appeared on her lips.

"She saved us, in my case, my mother and father were always very abusive towards each other especially my father, he always hurt my mom to the point she had to go to the hospital every week. The police arrested him when my mother was already dead on the floor and I witnessed it all. Since I was already 18 years old Irene brought me here to live with her. In Joy's case; she was a victim of human trafficking, she never met her parents, she worked in a stripper's club where she was forced to be a sex worker for so long. Irene visited the establishment once and bought it freeing the women inside there and taking Joy with her. Irene did this countless of times and those are safe under her orders, she gave them a home and a decent job."

Seulgi was taken aback with what Yeri told her, she never really expected Irene to do that. She may have done it to get more subordinates but somehow it didn't fit her image. Maybe she also had a soft heart.


"Ey calm down boss I think she's had enough for today" Yeri stood up in front of Seulgi.

"I want to talk to her I won't do anything, now move." Irene raised her voice and Yeri took her things and left.

Seulgi didn't want to be alone with her, she didn't want to look at her in the eyes right now she lowered her head as per usual when Irene was in her field of vision, she was expecting another of her useless warnings but instead Irene's arms wrapped around Seulgi's body.
