You woke up to the smell of waffles. You felt better that you could actually sleep in a bed, but it still makes you feel uneasy because you're in an apartment with a man you don't know. You left the bed, leaving the bedroom and following the smell of waffles. You stepped into the kitchen, seeing Daisho standing at the stove. You guess he didn't hear you step in and you were about to walk out, but Daisho spoke up.

"Good morning, Sleeping Beauty!" Daisho greeted, the nickname giving you an uneasy shiver up and down your spine. He gave you another charming smile over his shoulder and you returned it with a nod.

"Good morning," you greeted, walking back into living room. You felt someone wrap an arm around your waist from behind and you flinched at the human contact. The person, Daisho, placed his chin on your shoulder and you tried to take his arm off of you. "P-Please don't t-touch me. I'm not big on physical contact with p-people I don't know."

"Sorry bout that," Daisho said, removing himself from you. You walked away, walking over to the couch and sitting down. You watched him with careful eyes, watching every moment and trying to read his expression. "I just thought you wanted a hug." You shook your head, bringing your knees to your chest.

"I'm sorry, but your hug wasn't wanted," you confessed, watching Daisho sit down next to you. He let out a nervous chuckle, rubbing the back of his neck. You wonder why he got all touch recently. You scooted away, wanting to have a little more space between you and Daisho. "Having waffles?"

"Ah, yes!" Daisho exclaimed, standing up from the couch and he quickly walked into the kitchen. You let out a sigh of relief. You should leave, but you don't know where you'll go. You really need to leave, but you have to wait for the others. Daisho returned with a plate of waffles and a bowl of fruit and a glass of water. You gave him a quiet thanks and he nodded his head. You started to eat, not knowing that Daisho is watching you the whole time.

You looked to your side, seeing him give you another charming smile. "Can I help you?"

"You're just so damn beautiful," Daisho confessed, you felt your cheeks flushed. You looked away, not wanting to look at him or in his direction. "I can't believe you know Kuroo." You glanced at him, but you quickly looked away. "Are you sure you're not dating him? It could be a friends with benefits thing."

"We're not together! Okay!" You screamed, Daisho's eyes slightly widen. You let out a shaky breath, looking down at your breakfast. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to raise my voice, but I'm not dating Kuroo. There's nothing between us." You continued to eat your breakfast, feeling a little guilty for raising your voice at Daisho.

"Me and Kuroo were like two peas in a pod," Daisho started, a smirk on his face as he stared at the window. "There was even a little rivalry between us. Sometimes going after the same girl, but in the end I got the girl. He back stabbed me by having sex with her. I was so heartbroken that day."

You glanced at Daisho, seeing the distant look in his eyes. Was Kuroo really like that? Soon enough, Daisho kept talking on and on about all the bad things Kuroo did. You really pondered if Kuroo is still like that. What made Kuroo so different now? You wonder if kissing Kuroo was a mistake. Maybe you shouldn't have trusted him so easily. Was the time that you spent with Kuroo just a front so he can sleep with you? Daisho kept telling his stories about him and Kuroo in high school and college.

"I'm sorry that you went through that," Daisho said, giving you an apologetic smile. You told him what you've been through. Living with Osamu, the beatings, sexual harassment. You even told him how you met the others. You told him your life before you were kidnapped. Daisho nodded his head, a sign that he's listening to you. You didn't even notice it was extremely late at night.

You heard someone knocking on the door and Daisho stood up, walking to the front door. You didn't think there was gonna be company. Daisho didn't even tell you there was gonna be company. You wondered who was at the door. You looked over the couch, seeing Daisho opened the front door and your eyes widen.

It's the owner from that strip club. You stood up, but the owner already saw you and Daisho stepped aside, letting the owner's men make a run towards you. You were quickly grabbed by the men and the Daisho handed the owner a stack of money. You stared at him in disbelief. You felt betrayed, but you understand why you always felt uneasy. In the back of your head, you should have known something was off about him.

"I want to be her first customer once she's in business," Daisho said, giving the owner a smirk. Your eyes widen, wishing you were really six feet under. You looked at Daisho in disgust. You don't want to see Daisho's face ever again.

"There's already someone," the owner stated, holding his hands behind his back. He averted his eyes towards you, anger swelling in his eyes. "She starts tomorrow, but I'm sure you wouldn't mind being second." Daisho met your eyes, an evil smile spreading across his face.

"Not at all." Daisho confirmed.

The owner snapped his fingers, his men dragging you out of Daisho's apartment. "How could you!" You screamed, trying your best to wiggle free from the hands of the men, but they're a lot stronger than you. They tightened their grip on your arms, making you wince in pain.

What's gonna happen to you? You don't want to be sold. You just want to be home! You don't want this to happen to you! You'll need to think of something fast if you want to escape a second time, but you need to get your hands on a phone. You need to call Daichi! You need help... You need someone to help you, but you need to help yourself. You're dreading the thought of going through sexual harassment.
