"I choose neither so get out of my sight" "are you sure Hyung?? I mean she is your Jagi... what even is Rin to you? Why do you care about her? All you have to do is give her to me and I'll give you Areum back~" "I said no! I know Areum is my Jagi. But there's no way I would give up Rin for her!" "and why is that?" "because she's her best friend! Why would I give up her best friend to get her back? She's known her way longer than me, she considers her family! Why the hell would I do that?! Even though I don't know her that much I know how important she is to Areum and I wouldn't do that to her... and plus I can't even trust you enough to know you'll even give her back" I respond "okay... well I'll be going now... it was nice talking to you Hyung~" "get out" "oh don't worry I'm leaving right now, I have to check on Areum before Baekhyun does something to her" he smirks

"You son of a bitch! Get out! And never come back!" I yelled "okay Hyung~ bye bye" he says before leaving.

"Bobby... why? Why won't you let Jungkook take me and get Areum back?" Rin says with tears streaming down her face "Rin... please don't say that, I refuse to let him take you" "why? I know how much you love Areum. I'm nothing important to you, why do you care so much?" "you are important to me! You're my Jagiya's only family! I don't know what happened to her family but I'm pretty for sure they're dead. You and Hobi are the only family she has, I'm not going to let him just take you. And I know how much Mark Hyung loves you, I wouldn't let my Hyung suffer because of a deal" "b-but my Unnie.. she's more important" she says before bursting out into tears "stop.. dont worry about it I'm going to go find her, I promise" I hugged her while patting her back "promise?" "I promise I will bring her back"

( AREUM POV )

"Areum~ here I got some clothes ready for you" "Sehun... I thought you had to go to work?" I asked suspiciously "no I took so I could take care of you Honey~" I stayed quiet. "Go ahead and get dressed I have a few things to talk to you about during breakfast" he says before leaving.

I quickly started getting dressed in the outfit he left for me. I instantly felt disgusted with the outfit choice.

The shorts are way too short and the shirt goes way too far down, Its revealing everything!

I put my hair up in a pony tail and went downstairs. "Sehun!" I screamed looking for him "yes babe? Oooh you look so cute!" "cute? Cute my ass! I need something else to wear, I'm not wearing this!" I yelled in anger "babygirl~ you either wear what I give you or you wear nothing" I did not respond "that's what I thought. Now sit down so we can have breakfast" I sat down in one of the chairs.

"Here Honey~ eat up!" I looked down at the table to see multiple plates with my favorite foods. As I started eating I started shedding tears. "Honey?! Oh my... Why are you crying?! What's wrong?!" "n-nothing i'm fine!" I quickly responded "what's wrong Areum? Please tell me" "I-I just need space! I need space from everything, too much is going on" "hmm... would you like to go to the garden? I'll allow you to stay there as long as you need, but be back in the house before it's dark" "really?!" "of course! I know you love nature so have fun~" he's acting odd, but I guess I'll have to do the same until I can find a way out of here. "Where is it?" I asked calmly "I'll walk you there. There's something I need to give you first, follow me" I followed him.

"Here" he hands me two books

"What are these?" I asked "one is a drawing book the other is a diary. I know you've been thinking and stressing alot so I bought you both of these so that you can let out your stress instead of keeping everything inside. And you don't have to worry about anyone reading it, I've already told the others that your books are off limit. I won't read it either. Think of it as a place where you can state your thoughts and no one will ever know" "ohh okay.. thanks" "here I'll walk you to the garden... actually it's more like a whole forest. So please be careful Honey~ there's signs leading back to the house if you get lost. Have fun, clear your mind Honey. I love you" he says before kissing my forehead.

I walked out the door and started walking towards the so called garden / forest that Sehun told me about.

"Woah this is beautiful!!"

As I kept walking there was more and more beautiful things to look at. "OOH A SWING!" I screamed as I seen a swing in the distance. I ran over to it and sat down in it.

Hmm... what should I write in my journal? Maybe I should write about my past.... Or I can write daily journals. Hmm why not both!

I'll do daily journals in the coloring book and draw a picture next to it, then I can write about my past in the dairy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have no idea how long I've been out here but I've had a lot of fun. I got to relax my mind, draw some pictures, write about my past, smell flowers, feed birds, play with butterflies etc... I don't think I've ever had so much fun all by myself.

But that's when it hit me. The fun will soon end....

I slowly walked back towards the house as the stars were starting to fill the dark blue sky. I opened the door and quietly entered, assuming everyone was sleep. To my pleasant surprise I seen a male figure standing in front of the steps. "Didn't I tell you to come inside before it got dark out?" he asked with anger building up inside of him "S-Sehun p-please listen to me... I'm sorry I lost track of time" "sorry?! Do you know how worried I was?!" "I said I'm sorry" " no! Sorry isnt enough! I had a panic attack because of you, next time come back in earlier! Or else I'll attach a tracking device to you" he says rudely. "O-okay..." "go upstairs I have business to take care of" he didn't have to repeat himself before I ran upstairs.

"I guess I'm really stuck here for a long time... well I mine as well make a good use of my time. I should write more in my diary" I mumbled to myself.

As I was writing I started dozing off; eventually I fell asleep with both books in front of me.

"Areum~ wake up babe~" a voice woke me up out of my sleep. I slowly opened my eyes and seen....
