Karina slowly opened her eyes and found herself tied together on a chair. But she wasn't alone. Beside Karina was a girl who was still unconscious. Their condition was the same, being tied up.

"What... just happen... to me..."

Karina was confused. Just now she had a normal campus life with Aeri and Yeji. Out of nowhere, she was here, inside a big abandoned warehouse.

Not far away from them were five men resting themselves with drinks and cigarettes. Seems like they were their kidnapper. Karina tried to act like she wasn't conscious yet, afraid that something worse might happen if they know that Karina is awake and looking at them right now.

Even tho most of the time in Karina's life she wished to be dead, but this time, she really wish someone could save them. Someone could let Karina live. Karina wants to stay alive... remembering what Winter said to her before. Karina wants to live because of Winter's words.

"You need to ask my permission before doing anything crazy!"

"Anyone.... please... save me...", Karina cried silently, praying for help to come.

.......................................

1 hour before...

Karina was doing her usual routine, by waiting for her driver at the bus stop. She sat right next to a girl in a ponytail. But what is strange is the girl seems like she didn't hate it at all, not like the other students who've been sitting beside Karina before. Looks like she didn't even care about it.

Karina was confused, totally confused. How can this girl be so relaxed when the most hated girl on campus was sitting right next to her?

"Excuse me?", Karina called for her.

"Oh, yes. May I help you?", the girl said.

"You... don't know me?", Karina asked the girl.

"Hmm? Karina Yu?", the girl answered in confusion.

"So you do know me", Karina smiled a little bit.

"Yes of course I know you. Why?", the girl asks.

"You didn't want to... like... leaving a little gap between you and me? I mean... our seat...", Karina explained, only to make the girl more confused by showing how confused she is right now through her face.

"Err... why should I?", she asked. Karina was amazed that the fact the girl didn't hate her at all. Somehow she feels a bit grateful that there is still someone on the campus who doesn't care about the rumors of her being arrogant and others.

"What is your name?", Karina asks all of a sudden.

"Hmm... Shin... Ryujin?", Ryujin answered while still confuse. Ryujin did know Karina, the most hated person in the whole college but that doesn't mind Ryujin at all. She is still a human and a human have their own rights.

"Ouh", Karina smiled a little.

"By the way, that's my first time seeing you smiling in person", Ryujin said.

"Oh really? Well, people say a lot about me but.. yeah... you know. People have their own reason to do so", Karina explained. Ryujin was thinking that the Karina Yu that people talk a lot about wasn't that bad actually. She's quite nice, to be honest.

All of sudden, a black jeep parked right in front of the bus stop where the two girls were sitting. They didn't even move an inch cuz they thought that might be someone who want to wait for people or someone who want to drop people. But their thought was totally wrong.

The jeep's door opened in a flash, revealing two men who came out hurriedly, pulling the two girls inside the jeep and hurriedly leaving the scene. Not knowing that Ningning was observing them from afar.

"Winter! There's an emergency!"

"What happened?"

"Karina has been kidnapped!"

"The plate number?"

"Got it! I'm gonna trace them"

Ningning hurriedly opened her laptop and start doing her specialty. Click-clack on the keyboards and then Walla! Suddenly got the owner's phone number and location.

"Got it! You should go now! Both of them might be in great danger!", Ningning said.

"But-- I'm still in class! How can I escape?? Also... did you say... 'both'?"

"Karina was together with Ryujin. Both of them were kidnapped!!"

"WHATTT?? THEY ALSO KIDNAPPED OUR WEIRDO FRIEND??"

.................................

Luckily the class ended ten minutes later. Lucky but also bad. Who knows what might happen to both of them right now?

Winter hurriedly hops onto her black auto bike and follows the location Ningning send her just now. With her clothing today, she really does look cool while riding her bike. Black leather jacket with-- NO! SOMEONE WAS KIDNAPPED AND WE NEED TO FOCUS ON THEM!

Based on the location, the jeep seems to drive away pretty far from their campus. Almost thirty kilometres away but luckily Winter hurriedly caught up.

As soon as she arrived after driving through a narrow road without houses and people around, she find herself at an abandoned warehouse deep in the forest.

Slowly and silently, Winter peeked inside the warehouse revealing five men who were unaware of Winter's presence. Winter then knew she could handle all of that man alone. She took out her burner phone and called the police.

"Hello 112, what can I help you with--"

"Please trace my phone. Five men kidnapped two college girls just now and bring them here. Come immediately. Please, trust me...", then Winter ends the call and throws out the burner phone around the warehouse. She gonna leave that phone there forever.

* * *

Like her daily life as a healer, Winter wears her black cap, black hoodie, and black mask as usual. Then walking inside the warehouse like nothing there is scary to her at all. At that time, Karina was already conscious but pretending not to be.

"HEY! WHO ARE YOU!", one of the guys shouted, late four others came with a metal pipe in their hands and rushed towards where Winter is standing. Karina was shocked by a mysterious person's sudden appearance also hoping that the person will be the one who will save them.

A bullet from a gun was shot in a flash to Winter's left arm. But that doesn't stop Winter to do her work clean and to prove to them who is stronger.

Later, Winter kicked, spin, throw, punched all of 'em to the ground. The battlefield ended in just three minutes. All of the five guys were unconscious after being deadly beaten by Winter. Karina who saw everything keep her eyes open while looking at that mysterious human.

Winter saw Karina was looking at her, but she pretend not to react at all. Winter then tied all of the men together, leaving them at the center of the warehouse. Then slowly walking towards Karina who still looked straight at her.

"Who... are you...?", that's the first word that came out of Karina's mouth.

Winter who injured her left arm didn't answer her at all. Instead, she just open the rope from Karina's hands and leg, letting her free again. Then Winter moves her way to Ryujin who is still unconscious.

"Why did you save me?", Karina ask. Still, Winter was busy to let Ryujin free then slowly lying Ryujin down on the ground. Then she looks at Ryujin for a moment.

"Stay here. The police will come later, and if they ask about what happened and what you saw, just say that you don't know"

"B-But--", Karina couldn't even finish her words when Winter already ran out from the warehouse, leaving Karina alone with the unconscious Ryujin.

Karina remembered that the person left arm was injured. Luckily it doesn't bleed that much. But it seems pretty serious to Karina.

But Karina also thought inside her mind. Why did suddenly her life start changing?

"Did I become more in danger or more lucky?
