The Scar Can't Be Shown

What did you say, Areum? Do you trust me?' he hissed, his voice like a snake slithering through the darkness. His hand closed around her wrist like a vice, his grip unyielding as he pulled her closer. Areum's heart raced like a rabbit in a snare, her eyes wide with fear as she tried to wriggle free. But he held fast, his fingers digging deep into her skin like claws. 'Do you trust me?' he repeated, his breath hot against her ear, his words dripping with malice. The world around her melted away, leaving only the two of them, trapped in a nightmare from which there was no escape.
