Hands gripping the wheel so hard that his knuckles turned white, Taeyong's eyes were focused on the road as he drove way faster than what was allowed.
Park's picture wasn't just a simple, harmless photo of the girl, no. That was a provocation. A proof that he was keeping his eye on her at all times, ready to hurt her the second Taeyong disobeyed him.
It was his way of saying, 'I got the power over you.'
But Taeyong wouldn't let him hurt anyone, Iseul, or his members.
He had to hurry, for all he knew, Park could already be torturing Iseul. What if she was in pain right now, what if she was scared? Taeyong's mind was soon filled with different scenarios, all involving blood and screams.
Ah, yes, torture. Taeyong wasn't far from the truth, actually.
Iseul really was being tortured. She wished she was anywhere but here, her wrists on the armrests as she was seated on a chair and she tried her hardest not to let out a scream.
"I hate you," she finally mumbled, closing her eyes shut as her torturer just gave her a confused look.
Chaewon just chuckled, enjoying the situation.
"Iseul, you must be the only girl I know who doesn't enjoy a good pedicure."
"I'm ticklish, Chae! That's literally torture to me."
Iseul couldn't hold her giggles anymore, and she began to squeal, trying her hardest not to move as the lady massaged her feet.
"You know, I've very happy we get to spend the day together," Chaewon admitted after choosing the color she wanted for her nails.
"Yes," Iseul smiled. "Me too."
Suddenly, Chaewon's happy face darkened and she frowned, creating wrinkles on her forehead.
"Iseul, don't panic, but I think we're being followed."
"What? What do you mean?"
Chaewon's eyes were starring at the glass door of the spa, behind which a man was trying to seem as discreet as possible. She then turned her gaze to her friend who was already looking at her, a worried expression on her face.
Maybe Taeyong was right, she thought, biting her lip, maybe going out wasn't such a good idea. The sound of Chaewon's laugh brought her back to reality, and Iseul tilted her head to the side.
"What's so funny?"
"I'm just joking! But a guy really has been starring at you since we started hanging out, I think he might have a crush... Oh my god! Maybe it's love at first sight... That would be so romantic..."
Chaewon had heart eyes as she spoke, and Iseul rolled her eyes at her behavior.
"Chae, don't be silly, you scared me!"
"You, don't be silly! Why would anyone follow us?" she laughed, and Iseul smiled awkwardly.
"Anyways, the guy's pretty cute if you ask me, you should go talk to him."
Iseul just scoffed and slightly turned around to see who Chaewon was talking about, but being discreet in this kind of situation wasn't exactly something she was good at, and she almost knocked down the nail polishes next to her, making Chaewon roll her eyes at her clumsiness.
But Iseul didn't really care, because her eyes locked with the guy and she scoffed.
"Ten," she murmured. "What the hell are you doing here?" she mouthed.
