t/w: attempted rape

~°~

"INNIE! I'M GOING TO THE PARK FOR SOMETIME! I'LL BE BACK SOON!" Areum shouted as she wore her shoes in front of the doorframe.

"WHY ARE YOU GOING OUT SO LATE?" Jeongin shouted as he came running down the stairs to see Areum. 
"Something came up. I need to go Innie." Areum replied, looking at him with an innocent expression. 
"But it's quarter to 12 at night! What if something happens to you noona?" 
"Innie. You know that someone will die before getting anywhere near me." Areum deadpanned as she grabbed Jeongin by the shoulders.

"Still. How about I come with you?" 
"NO!" Areum shouted, "I mean- I need to be alone for a bit Innie. I'll be back soon. Okay? I've left a cheesecake for me in the fridge. So you better not touch it, or you die. I mean it. See you soon Innie. Don't stay up late waiting for me." Areum spoke and ran out the house, leaving Jeongin confused.

Areum ran. She ran like her life depended on it. Technically, it did. And she didn't stop until she was sure that she wouldn't go running back home. She knew where she had to go. She knew what she had to do. Yet she couldn't move get her feet to start moving like they had just a few moments ago. 

Her destination, the Wonhyo Bridge, was right above of her. She, at the moment, was standing on the banks of the Han River, not in basking in the moonlight, but in the shade of the bridge where she was supposed to meet someone who she didn't even know, and most likely wanted to harm her. But she had no choice. She needed to get as much information as she could. She checked her hoodie's pockets, cursing when she realized that the only weapon she thought to bring was a dagger. Nevertheless, she hid the dagger in her long sleeved, black hoodie's right sleeve, her dagger ready to come out into her hand if she would need it.

Areum pulled her phone out, wincing as the bright light hit her face. She checked the time. It was 23:54. Six minutes until she'd have to "face the consequences of my actions" she sarcastically said, covering her mouth when she realized she'd said that out loud. 

From the shadows behind her, someone let out a deep, raspy laugh, making Areum turn around, facing the shadows. "You know, I like people who are early." the voice said, letting Areum identify it as a 'he'. 
"WHO ARE YOU?" she shouted back, her voice unwavering. 

"You're going straight in there with the questions, aren't you? But unfortunately for you, I didn't come here to ask or answer any questions. I simply bring a warning." he chuckled, stepping into the light, revealing a handsome man. He had white skin, a chiseled chin, good height, a perfect nose that should be impossible to have, and raven black hair that covered his eyes.  He was dressed comfortably too; in baggy pants and an oversized dark t-shirt.

"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?" Areum asked once more, completely ignoring the man's previous words.

"You're a stubborn one, aren't you? Doesn't matter to me, you're just gonna end up dead, like all the others who've tried to mess with us. So stop poking your nose where it doesn't belong" He smirked.

"What tells you that you'll be able to kill me?" She asked, getting ready to take her dagger out. 

"You're messing with people you think you understand, but you don't. They're not your typical mafia, they're not looking for power, money or love, they're looking to kill"
"So what?" She asked, raising one eyebrow, taunting him.

"So what, she asks. That means, that I can kill you right now, just like I've done to all the others who poked their nose into our business." he smirked, walking closer to Areum, closer than she would've liked. She stumbled a few steps back, the man not stopping. She kept moving back until her back hit one of the posts supporting the bridge. He still didn't stop. He walked as close to her as he could, without their bodies touching. He put out his hands on either sides of her head, trapping her within his arms. He lowered his head, moving his mouth to her ear, and whispered, "but none of them looked as hot as you do" He moved one of his arms down, rubbing his hand up and down her inner thighs, making Areum curse herself for choosing to wear such short, tight shorts.

Areum immediately whipped her dagger out, ready to strike him, but before she could, he snatched the dagger from her hand and threw it far away. He grabbed her hand and pinned it above her head. "You really thought you could get rid of me that easily?" he whispered against her ear, sending shivers through Areum's body as she felt his breath on her neck. He licked her earlobe as he harshly grabbed her exposed thigh. She froze. She couldn't move anything, just confined to her own head.

He moved his hand up her thigh as he soon felt her clit through the thin fabrics, proceeding to rub his fingers around it. Areum quickly recovered herself and kneed him in the stomach, sending him flying to the ground as he clutched his stomach, howling in pain. "YOU STUPID SLUT! GRAB HER!" he screamed, as two men jumped out of the shadows and advanced towards Areum. 

One of the men (who Areum nicknamed leftie since he was on the left) ran towards her from behind, and grabbed her in a chokehold. She immediately kicked him in the groin, using his temporary carelessness to flip him over. He landed on his back, and Areum kicked him in his stomach as his body scrunched up from the overdose of pain. 

The other man (who Areum had nicknamed rightie, again, since he was on the right) came running towards her, and managed to haul her over his shoulder. But then she concentrated all of her body weight to her lower body, making him drop her. She jumped to her feet, narrowly avoiding the blows he kept sending her. Suddenly, Leftie grabbed her from behind once more in chokehold, and covered her nose and mouth with a cloth. 

Areum thrashed around, trying her best not to inhale the sweet scent of the cloth, but then Rightie came over and held her hands, while the mysterious man whose name Areum never got smiled as he walked up to her once more, whispering, "Give in to the darkness Areum, you're going to lose anyway"  

Areum felt her vision going dark, as she found it very hard to breathe. A headache blared in her mind as she tried not to breathe. The need of oxygen burning in her chest. The black dots in her vision burning into her mind. She knew that she needed to breathe, but she also knew that she wouldn't

"You can't fight it much longer, princess. Breathe" was all she heard as she breathed in the sweet scent of the cloth plastered on her face, falling into a deep slumber
