Areum started getting her conscious back by hearing someone screaming.. It was like there were so many people who were talking about something.. Some gibberish words she didn't even know.. Her head was beating like shit.. Knitting her brows she tried to open her eyes slowly..

There were so many people looking at her, like they were waiting for her to wake up.. They were looking at her just like Jonathan looked at her, they wanted to devour her then and there..
The more she opened her eyes, the more her heart sank down in her abdomen.. The air was thick, and the room was filled with red lights.. It took her some time to see everything clearly.. She tried to get up, then she realized..

She couldn't move her body that much.. And then she looked at her surroundings..

She was captivated in a human cage....

The moment she realized the upcoming danger, her eyes widened.. She started shaking the cage, and all the people out there started laughing.. " Look, the kitten wants to get out of her cage! So desperate to meet Daddy ha??" A person said, and gave her the dirtiest look he could hold..

Suddenly she felt cold, and she looked at her body.. It was another shock for her..

She was wearing something that'd be better if she hadn't even worn that.. The dress was lowkey covering her private parts.. The deep pink bra that totally lifted up her breasts and the fabric started from showing half of her nipples, and then suddenly hid it.. It was like a dress made for attracting men like that.. Her undergarments were in net fabric, which is already revealing herself.. She looked up to see all the men there drooling over her, and licked their lips.. She immediately tried to cover her body, but they'd already seen enough..

" Alright Alright Alright.. Now you saw the glimpse of the star of the show, let's come to the business.." Someone said suddenly, and she knew the voice..

It was Jonathan..

He came in front of her, and gave her a sinister smile.. Her eyes filled with water seeing how low a person could be.. He came to her, and bent down.. " I hope you're loving your new place princess.." He winked..

" Jonatha-"

"Okay.. Now let's come to the main point.. Give me your bid.. I don't have time so do it fast.." He got up, and looked at them.. All of them started screaming, and throwing drinks, breaking glasses to show they were too excited for this...

Areum hitched after hearing this..

Jonathan was selling her..

In a brothel..

She was now a sex toy here..

Who'd give him the most amount of money.. He'd have her.. Now the question was for how long, and her question answered too.. " One night stand I'll start with $5000 bucks, for a week it'll be $10000, and the more weeks you want, the more you'll have to pay, as simple as that.. So should the bid start??"

" I want her for a lifetime.." Someone said..

" That's not an option.. She's my toy, and I'm just letting you play with her for a while. So who wants to make the 1st bid?!" Jonathan was behaving like she owned her, which was partially true..

" I want her for tonight.."

" I want her too.."

" I'll give $5200"

" I'll $5500.."

" Then I'll give $6000.."

" $8000.. I'll give $8000 for tonight.." Someone said, and everyone gasped..

" Anyone else want to bid?" Jonathan asked, but no one replied because $8000 is too much for one night..

" Okay tonight this kitten is selling to Mr. Cha for $8000."

" Placing the bid 1"

" Placing the bid 2"

" Placing the bid 3"

" Congratulations Mr. Cha, you won the bid for tonight.."

Jonathan started clapping looking at Areum who was sitting there lifelessly.. Looked like her soul left her body, but she was alive.. She became a rock, after seeing what just Jonathan did.. It was like torturing her, raping her, treating her like an animal wasn't enough..

Jonathan came in front of her.." It was really nice to have you around princess. I wish you all the best love.." With that he brought someone in front of her, and her eyes widened..

Katherine suddenly came, and Jonathan slid his hand over her waist, and kissed on her cheeks.. " Hi bestie.. Long time no see.." She smiled so sweetly..

By surprise, Areum wasn't reacting.. She just became numb.. These were too much for her that she had no strength to even react.. " Where's Hyeon?" Areum asked suddenly..

" Oh that loser? Actually my boyfie here killed him, he was just a thorn who was gonna pinch us in the long run, so why take the risk right?" Katherine just used Hyeon, because she had already shook her hand with Jonathan, and they knew after their plan worked, Hyeon would be a problem, so Jonathan killed him..

" You realize he cheated you?" Areum chuckled..

Hearing this Katherine started laughing.. " Girl you're such a dumbass.. He was just having his time with you.. You know? My man loves to be wild in bed, but you see I've a body to show off, and my baby loves my body so much.. Which is the reason he kept you there.. Whenever he feels that he needs to have someone in his own way, he used you, like a fucking little whore you are.." Katherine spat..

Areum lowly chuckled.. Without her realization she was changing.. The more they were hurting her, the more she was changing from the inside...
It was like she was taking all the pain and storing them, but showing no one that she was getting hurt.. Her eyes which always showed fear, or which used to fill with water, became dry, and stopped showing any emotion from them..
That day she completely gulped everything in her.. Because she knew this was the end.. This would be the end of her..

"And that was the day we lost our Areum.. Our Areum died in that cage.. She was never to be found.." Jungkook sniffed and looked at Taehyung who was standing there in shock, who couldn't even move..

Jungkook wiped his tears.. "I hope you got the answer you were looking for.. Yes she was raped by Jonathan, and this is the reason she's different.. Now please leave.. I've to go to the hospital to meet Heejin.."

" How did she escape?" Taehyung again stopped him.. Jungkook looked back at him, doubting whether he should tell him the whole story or not..

" How did she escape Jungkook??" Taehyung asked again. Jungkook thought for a while.. He needed to know the whole truth..

" Jungkook how-"

" Baekhyun.." Jungkook said suddenly, and took a deep breath..

----------------------------------------

This was her life right now.. Where all she should care about is that she's breathing.. She was in another world.. All she could think about was "BDSM"...

Bed

Daddy

Sex

Money

The more people would buy her, the more profit Jonathan was getting.. Jonathan marked her whole body to prove that she could take any type of pain, no matter what it was, no matter how it was..
At 1st she was so weak but day by day she actually forgot she had a soul in her.. Her body was touched by so many people that she stopped counting after a few weeks.. Sometimes it was 1 person at a time, or sometimes there were 2, 3, 4..

She eventually forgot what the outside world looked like.. All she saw was red rooms, and people having sex in various ways.. She didn't feel the difference between dressed or undressed..
Or the dress she wore, all were just a show off for telling that those were dresses because those weren't covering shits.. But in the meantime she never saw Jonathan anymore which was a good thing.. Maybe he got another pet to play with, or he just literally left her here.. She already accepted her feat, and just wanted to die every second..

Until one day maybe Lord looked at her, and sent someone in her life..

One evening she was getting ready for her customer, when someone came into her room.. She learned how to dress like a slut, present herself as a whore.. She just wore a mask of makeup to hide her broken side from them, because for Jonathan it'd 'ruin' the customer's mood..

" Woah, my baby is excited for today, I see! Already getting ready to meet her Daddy!" Jonathan came out of nowhere.. She looked at him, then again at the mirror.. Jonathan didn't bother, rather he was here for a reason..

" Let me meet you with one of my favorite people, who is a stuff here like you, but you know.. He's senior to you so we just want to.. you know that right? " Jonathan laughed and Areum totally ignored her.. Areum didn't fear him anymore, and if Jonathan hurt her, she'd take that without showing any emotion..

" If you're done spitting bullshits, bring him over.." Areum said, while applying lipstick..

" You bitch how dare you talk with me like that?"..

" Thanks to you, you were the tutor.. Now fuck off please.." she said bluntly..

Jonathan clenched his jaw, and called the man.. " Becky!!!"

A boy came, and Areum looked at him.. The boy must've heard everything.. His smirk was saying that.. He checked Areum up to toe, and gave a slander smile.. On the other hand, Areum just stared at him blankly.. To her he was just another customer, who'd leave his sperm inside her, and would leave the place..

That's where she was wrong..

" I assume you're..... Aurora??" Baekhyun said.. Yes.. After she came here, Jonathan changed her name.. Reason? So that his brother won't find any trace about her.. He tried his level best to remove each and every trace of Areum from his house..

Yoongi found out about the location by that number.. He even came to America, to search for his sister.. He went to the thrift store, checked the CCTV footage but all he got was Jonathan dragging Areum away from the shop.. Seeing his sister's state he was determined he'd find her no matter what.. But luck wasn't supporting him, nor her sister..

Until Baekhyun thought it'd be good idea to fuck the most toughest girl from the brothel.. He was so excited to have this opportunity.. " One round.." Jonathan said, and eyed him, and left the room. locking the door..

Once Jonathan was gone, he looked at her.. " I don't show mercy in bed baby.." He smirked..

" And I don't take mercy.. These pain kept me alive. The more.. The better.." With that she started to take off her clothes..

Baekhyun got confused.. He heard from Jonathan that she worked as a gang, and even when they fucked the shit out of her, she still didn't shed a tear.. Baekhyun was staring at her, when she removed the last piece of clothes from her body, and his mouth hung open to see the marks she had on her body, which was why she was looking even tougher..

Looking back at him, she clicked his tongue.. " Need help to remove yours?"

Baekhyun huffed.. " So desperate ha?"

" I'm getting bored.. Just finish what you're here for.." She said.. Baekhyun came close to her, and lifted her chin to meet her eyes.. He looked at them.. She was trying to show she was so tough, her thick eyeliner was adding the finishing touch.. But he could clearly see how much tired she was, how much broken she was.. That she hid inside her, and showed no one could defeat her..

" Fucking me with only eyes?" Areum said suddenly..

" Does it hurt?"

" Nothing that I can't handle.." Areum smirked.. And Baekhyun pushed her, and she fall on the bed.. Areum left a loud chuckle.. He started unbuttoning his shirt, taking his sweet times to remove his cloths, when Areum just yawned..

" Am I that much unattractive??" He said pretending like he got hurt..

Areum rolled his eyes.. " Just fuck me already and leave.." He crawled over her, and was about to devour her, when his eyes fall on her necklace.. His eyebrows knitted.. " You were sold here??" He asked suddenly..

Areum got confused.. " What are you even saying?" He got up, and sat on the bed.. " How did you come here? Who brought you here??"

Areum pressed her lips.. " You fucker, who do you think would brought me here? It was Jonathan.. He's the dealer.."

" No he's not.. He's the owner of this brothel.." Areum straight looked at him.. " What?"

" Don't you know? He's not the dealer, or anything.. He just buys girls or boys with a huge amount of money, and earns a profit.. How could Jonathan sell you here? "

Areum huffed.. " Common sense big brain.. He just kidnapped me and threw me in this business and earned profit.."

" But your necklace is telling something else.." Baekhyun narrowed his eyes..

Areum knitted her brows.. " Huh?"

Baekhyun sighed.. and slid his hand behind his neck, and pulled out the same necklace she was wearing, but it was gold in color.. " I'm wearing the same.."

" I've seen everyone here wearing this.. So what?" Areum shrugged..

" Yes but have you seen the color?" Areum got confused, because she never actually gave attention to the necklace.. Areum was quiet, so he spoke..

" There are three colors of this necklace.. Silver which mean the one whom anyone can fuck, gold one are for the stuffs here, and the rose gold one which you're wearing right now.." Baekhyun took some breath..

" This color means the one who only gives service to Jonathan, or those who he suggests.. But as I've seen, anybody can have your service.. So how come you're wearing the rose gold one, not the silver one.." Areum looked at him, and gulped.. " Does that mean?"

" It mea-" Suddenly they heard the door was getting unlocked, so Baekhyun hovered over her suddenly.. " Moan.. Moan like we have just started.." Areum don't usually make sounds while intercourse but she tried to show like he was mercilessly raping her, and as they guessed.. Jonathan peaked from the door, to see they were busy in their business, and he shut the door again..

Baekhyun got off from her, and Areum sat on the bed.. " Becky.. Tell me everything about Jonathan.. Please.."

Looking at her, Baekhyun guessed already she suffered a hell then came this hell.. " 1st tell me why you behave like you're the toughest.. So anyone can do anything with you, and you won't even budge off.. Didn't that hurt?"

" Actually no.. I don't know but I find peace in pain.. The more pain I get, the more my mind stays calm.."

" You're not the only one.. Jonathan has this creepiest fond.. He opened this brothel to show how much evil he can be.. He even killed a girl while raping her.. It's excite him.. The more you'll show you're having pain.. The more it'll give him satisfaction.. And when he's done having her like the way she wanted.. He would either kill her, or throw her somewhere where there's no chance for her to live.. But it's odd that he brought you here.. I don-" He stopped when he saw Areum was shedding tears silently..

" You okay?"

" It'd be better if he killed me.. Why is he still keeping me alive?" Areum sniffed..

" I see he marked you.. So he already thought he'd sell you here.." He said, when suddenly Areum held his hand.. " I'd love to die, but not here.. Even if someone pushes me from the hill I'd love that but not here.. Please.."

" I'm sorry to break you, but there's no way out.." He already guessed what she's gonna say, so he burst the bubble for her..

" At least listen to me.." Areum pleaded..

" What do you want?"

" Do you have a phone?"

" No, we're not allowed to use phones, but why?"

" My brother is a policeman.. He just needs a call.. Just a call.." She pleaded..

" I can't take the risk, I'm sorry.." He jerked off her hand..

" Please I beg you.. Please.. Just-"

" Are you dumb? If your brother is really a policeman don't you think he'd have already found you?? But he couldn't so there must be a reason.." Baekhyun snapped, and Areum gasped..

" The whole place is wired, including the necklace you're wearing.." Baekhyun said while wearing his dresses..

" WHAT??!!"

" This is the reason nobody can trace this place.." He looked upfront, and started walking..

" Someone can.." Areum suddenly said, and he looked at her.. She looked up at him with a nod

" All you just need to do is make a call.. Rest my brothers will handle.."

" What will I get by helping you??" He asked..

" I'll return your favor whenever you want.." Baekhyun thought for a while..

" Deal?"

" Deal.." Areum replied, and Baekhyun smirked

" So whos' going to be the life saver??" He asked, and Areum smirked..

" Jeon Jungkook.."

After that day she and Baekhyun started seeing each other often.. They never showed like they're talking about something forbidden.. Baekhyun started flirting with her, whenever they crossed paths.. Jonathan didn't seem bothered about it.. He thought maybe finally Areum was getting used to this place..
Thanks to Baekhyun... After him, he checked every time when Areum was doing her work.. So nobody could hurt her.. But nobody could tell what would happen to her, when the door was closed..

It was like she found someone whom she could at least trust here.. She found a friend in hell who was helping her to survive, and maybe one day he'd help her to escape..

Baekhyun eventually got a chance to go outside of the brothel once, to buy something for the girls.. That time he was alone.. Areum already gave him Yoongi's number, and what he'd say to him.. Baekhyun used his brain.. He didn't call her brother.. Rather he sent a message to her brother

"Save Me"

He used code language such as using numbers to indicate the letters.. And sent it to her brother.. He thought his work was done, because it'd fail anyway.. Police trying for days to find this location.. Girls were getting kidnapped suddenly, and all the traces indicating they were being sold to somewhere where nothing good would ever happen.. So Baekhyun was sure he tried his level best, but all of them went in vain..

After that Baekhyun stopped talking with Areum.. She was feeling scared Baekhyun might inform Jonathan, but she was wrong, when Jonathan came into her room.. " How are you, love?"

Areum just finished her dinner, and was about to call it a day, but when Jonathan came here, she knew it's either him, or some guest he brought here with him..

" If you're here for fucking me, do it, and leave the room.. I wanna sleep.."

Jonathan chuckled.. " I know every part of your body, love.. I already had you in every way I wanted.."

" Then why are you showing me your shitty face? Just leave.." Areum rolled her eyes..

The way Areum always talked with Jonathan made him mad, but he knew it pretty well she had changed and she wouldn't get scared of him anymore.. So he gulped his anger, and focused on why he was here..

" Someone is here for you.." She didn't reply so he spoke again.. " He just needs one thing.." Areum looked at him waiting to finish his words..

" He wants you to be blindfolded.. He doesn't want to show his face.."

" Scary bitch lol.." Areum chuckled..

" Think whatever it is, but he's giving $15,000 for one night.. So I couldn't deny him.." Areum looked at him, like she was not interested, and took the blindfold from Jonathan's hand.. This would be the 1st time when she'd be used, but she couldn't even see the face.. All she had to use was her other senses.. She was a little bit scared about the idea so she just sat on her bed, and waited for the guy to come..

She heard the door shut, signaling Jonathan left the room, but in a minute the door opened again.. Her hands were free.. She could easily remove the blindfold, but she knew if Jonathan found out she'd be dead meat..

The guy cleared his throat.. His voice was so harsh and heavy.. She knitted her brows, which got noticed by the guy.. " I'm sorry but my throat is so sore, because I caught a cold a few days ago.."

" It's okay.. Your throat will not be used, rather mine, so you can chill.." She said bluntly, and he chuckled..

" Not for that, but my voice will sound so bad, and I'm really sorry for that.." He said coming forward a little..

" Why did you ask me to be blindfolded? It's not like your identity will be revealed, or I'm gonna tell someone about it.." she shrugged, and he sat beside her..

" It's like one kind of kink to me.. I want to see how it'd feel when I'm having my time with someone but she can't even see me, or guess who I'm.." He said. Taking her hand in him..

" Well this is new for me too.." She tried to smile, but that faded away, when he suddenly held her face, and pressed his lips on her...

There was something on that kiss.. She was never kissed like this before.. All the men she kissed before either tried to bite her, or made it nasty.. Except Jungkook of course.. He didn't even know how to kiss. All he did was licking her whole mouth area.. That was really too awkward..

But not this one.. This anonymous guy knew how to kiss, and build up the feeling.. He tasted so sweet.. He was drunk for sure, but the aftertaste was craving Areum more to have it..

Taking her on his lap he started to kiss her neck when she stopped him.. " Not here please.." The guy blinked twice and just hummed..

Placing her on the bed, he slowly started to remove her dresses.. She was flinching everytime the guy was brushing his fingertips on her skin.. The cold air brushed off her body, assuring her there was no fabric left on her skin..

The guy got up, and slowly unbuckled his belt.. Hearing those sounds, Areum was feeling nervous, not scared.. It was like she was getting excited about what was going to happen next, as she was blindfolded..

Placing his knees in between her, the mattress sank down a little.. " My apologies in advance if it hurts.."

Areum gasped hearing this.. Nobody gave a fuck about her when they fucked her.. All they wanted was to have her like they wanted.. They'd consume their animal side and would rip her each and every time, and Areum got used to it..

So having someone who was having his sweet time with her, showing all the foreign feelings for the 1st time with her, was a whole new thing...

He pinned her hands softly on the bed, and kissed her again.. " Just need to be sure you're not thinking anything funny.."

" I won't- " Suddenly she gasped when he inserted her.. He kissed her to embrace the euphoric feeling they were having..

That was the 1st time she felt someone made love to her.. That was the only time she felt everything she was having with him.. He not only made love with her, but let her feel why people are so obsessed about intimating..

After they were done.. He helped her to wear the dresses, then he wore his one too.. " Can I take off my blindfold now?" She asked..

" Why though? Want to see my face? Where's the fun then??" He came to her and held the back of her head and kissed her, but this time more passionately.. She kissed back when he bit her bottom lip..

" Thank you for tonight.. I'll remember you.." He said, and after sometime she heard the door shut down..

She quickly took her blindfold off to see him, but there was no sign of him.. Just the air was smelling like his cologne.. She took in the smell and smiled a little.. She'd sleep peacefully that night..

But not everyday was like this.. She totally forgot about the night she made love with him, because her brain was getting filled by the cocksluts who came to fuck her everyday..

-------------------------------------

Out of nowhere one day Baekhyun came to her.. " Who is this Jungkook? "

" I'm sorry what?" She got confused..

" I don't know, I heard from the outside that someone tracked the location of here.."

" Wha-what??" She was shocked

" Listen.. Jonathan is getting furious about it.. He can't even process how this happened, so please stay safe.. I'll come back if something happens okay??" Baekhyun didn't wait, and left the room..

Areum was feeling Lord himself gave her this chance.. That she might get out of here.. She started thinking that if it was really Jungkook who tracks the location then her brother would be here in no time.. But before that Jonathan would take her away again from here.. She needed to do something..

No matter how, no matter what.. She would leave the place that day..

She scanned the whole room to find anything that might help her to protect herself.. She looked beside the wardrobe, and smirked.. Some guy, who might do bad work, came here yesterday.. He put all of his weapons over the wardrobe.. By luck the pencil knife fell on the ground, and nobody really noticed it..

Areum took the knife, and looked at it.. Even if it wasn't sharp, she could bury the whole metal thing in someone's body.. And the body she wouldd love to use, was in front of her..

She smirked a little, but hid the knife behind her, and made a confused face.. " Why am I having your visit, may I ask?"

Looking at Jonathan it was sure he was bursting in anger inside.. His jaw was clenched, his face became red, and his eyes were spitting fire.." You bitch.." He said..

" Yes?" She replied..

" It was you.. It has to be you.." He took some steps forward..

" I'm sorry I didn't get you.."

" You fucking slut.. I thought you started listening to me, but you had to disobey me again? I'LL KILL YOU TODAY!" With that he held Areum's neck, and pushed her on the ground.. Areum started gagging, she started hitting him, but that was no use.. Jonathan was much more stronger than her..

" l-leave m-e.."

Jonathan put even more pressure, and she felt like her neck bone would break.. " I built this business, for don't know how many years.. No one, nothing could track me down. No one could have the slightest idea about it, but after you came here.. Suddenly they could track this location and now they're coming here to get me?? How did you do this? Tell me how fucking you could do this to me!!"

Areum had her enough.. She took the knife, and straight buried it in his abdomen.. He screamed, when he buried the knife again.. And he fall on the ground..

Areum started coughing, and gasping for air.. She couldn't even see anything properly for some time, and when she did, she hovered over Jonathan.. " You call this business?? THIS IS A FUCKING HELL!! YOU'RE A FUCKING DEMON WHO FIND PEACE IN PEOPLE'S MISERY! Believe me you deserve the most painful death anyone can have.." Jonathan tried to grab her neck again, but Areum already buried the knife in his palm.. He screamed his lungs out, and she buried the knife again..

She started panting, and lifted up the knife.. " Goodbye Jonathan.." She was about to hit him again, when he heard the police siren.. Her breath hitched, her heart started beating faster, thinking she heard it wrong, but it was right..

The police were here..

She got up, and about to leave the place, when Jonathan grabbed her leg, and she fell.. " You really thought I would let you go? If I die, I'll take you with me too.."

Areum looked back, and slashed his feet instantly, when Jonathan was forced to leave her leg.. She got up.. " I'd rather die, but not here.. I'd kill myself by my own bare hands, but I won't die with you.." With that she left the room..

Seeing outside, the girls were running screaming hearing the shots from police.. She tried to find a way to leave this hell, but for the gathering, she was getting distracted..

Suddenly someone grabbed her hand, and started dragging her somewhere.. He grabbed her wrist tightly, not even letting her see his face and he started running.. " YOU MOTHERFUCKER LEAVE ME!!!"

" Believe me if I could ever fuck you, I would call you Mommy, now shut your mouth and come with me.." Her eyes widened..

" Becky?!" He didn't reply and started running.. They were about to meet the entrance, but Areum stopped in the middle.. " Wait!!"

" NOW WHAT??!!" Baekhyun was really angry because he was risking his life for her..

She looked beside her.. " Give me two minutes. Just two minutes.." She didn't let him reply, and went to the room..

There she was.. Taking her sweet time to prepare herself, where outside the room people were running for their life.. " Hi bestie.." Areum cooed..

Katherine straight looked at her, and gasped.. " Why're you here?"

" I was missing you actually.. You know.. I was really looking forward to meeting you, but you were nowhere to be found.."

" Whatever it is.. Get out.." She started applying the makeup..

" You know you gave me a wound, which won't heal in my life.. So I thought, Why would I suffer alone?" She said, getting slowly close to her..

Katherine looked at her.. " What are-AHH!!!!" Areum suddenly slashed her face with the pocket knife.. She grabbed her hair, and pushed her over the wall, and hit her forehead so many times that she started to bleed..

" YOU FUCKING WHORE! I was really waiting for this.." She took her arm, and placed it on her back so she couldn't move.. " What are you doing ah leave me!! Jonatha- AHHH!!"

Areum started to cut her arm writing her favorite word.. each time her skin was touching the knife, she was screaming, and somehow Areum was loving this.. She started slashing her skin mercilessly, and wrote down the word... "WHORE"

Areum took the knife to bury it on her neck, but she heard knocking on the door.. Baekhyun was losing his shits, that they might get caught.. Areum pressed her lips in frustration.. " Now everyone will know who you really are.." She hit Katherine's forehead again, and she passed out..

" Fucking slut!" She cursed, and left the room.. Seeing Baekhyun waiting for her, he held her hand again, and went to the entrance.. " Remember.. Do not talk with anyone out there.. Straight go to the police who will be there.. Tell them everything about his place.. " He held her face..

"This is the end.. This will be the end.." Areum's eyes sparkled. " What about you?"

" I've nowhere to go.. I'll surrender myself.."

" Please my brother will help you, please come with me.." She pleaded..

" I can't.. Please just go.."

" But why?"

"Because they'll kill my family.. I can't let that happen.. If things worked out.. You said you'll return the favor right? So I'm counting on you.. Just go.." Suddenly Areum hugged him, and he hugged her back..

He opened the door.. It was nighttime.. The weather was gloomy.. It was like the calm before the storm.. He pushed her in front, and told her to run.. Areum looked behind her once again, and started running..

" AURORA!!" He screamed, and Areum looked back..

" TAKE OFF THE NECKLACE!!" Suddenly she remembered.. The necklace was wired too.. She tried to unlock it, but failed.. She pressed her lip, and pulled it so hard that it ripped, and her hand got a cut.. She threw the shiny metal thing somewhere, and started running...

She looked back at her, but the door from where she left was closed.. She panted.. " Please save him.. Please Lord please.." She started crying and started running..

He kept his words.. He helped her to escape.. He risked his life.. But in return Areum couldn't save him.

( You'll need this track for the upcoming scenes.. Don't disappoint me please)

Suddenly she bumped with someone.. She thought it was someone from the brothel.. She hid her face behind her arms.. She was shaking in fear... " Please don't kill me, please don't kill me.. Let me go, let me go, let me go please I beg you please let me-"

"KUZI!!!!" She stopped talking, and looked in front of her.. She couldn't believe her eyes..

Yoongi was standing in front of her, he was in shock too.. After so long he was seeing his sister, who was scared of him.. He blinked several times to believe his sister was really in front of her..

"Oppa!!" Areum whispered.. The tears she was holding in her eyes finally came off her eyes..

Pressing her lips, she shed some tears.. and fell on the ground..

"AREUM!!!" Yoongi held her, before she even touched the ground.. It started raining suddenly.. He embraced her too tightly.. She was still in shock and when he held her brother she couldn't control herself anymore..

Areum started screaming, holding her brother with her life.. She buried her face in him.. Hitting him like crazy, she left all the emotions she was holding for this long...

Namjoon, and Jungkook ran fast to them hearing the screams, when they saw Yoongi was holding Areum, soaking in the heavy rain.. They bent down and hugged Areum.. Protecting her from this world..

All of her brothers in the past months were blaming themselves for what happened to Areum.. They failed to protect their sister, and she had to face this..

Areum's screams slowly stopped, and when Yoongi took her face in his hand, he saw Areum passed out.. He started crying all over again, when Jungkook and Namjoon couldn't even say anything to him..
He was blaming himself all the time.. He couldn't bear what state he saw of his sister.. Yoongi looked up in the sky thanking Lord that he found her.. Finally he found her.. It was too late, but still he found her...

But the Areum they used to know was long gone...

They hospitalized her immediately, what the doctor had said was another shock for them.. She was raped so many times, that it'd take a long time to heal..
Her whole body was filled with cuts and bruises which she had to carry for her whole life.. The amount of drug she had to take hampered her inner parts of body.. It was actually Lord's miracle that she survived all of this..

Jungkook was the one who got hurt the most in this incident.. The minute he woke up after that party, he started blaming himself, that he should be careful.. He should stay with her.. He would force her to stay at home, or inform Yoongi about it..
No one, nothing made him better until he saw Areum, and when he heard everything from the doctor.. He tried to run away.. Feeling embarrassed that she ruined her life.. But Namjoon stopped him..

Areum loved Jungkook so much.. She was so comfortable around him.. She would need him after she woke up.. So Namjoon couldn't let Jungkook go..

2 days later she woke up.. The 1st thing she asked was what happened to Baekhyun.. They didn't know who he was, so Yoongi checked the list, and told her they couldn't find him..

The brothel was seized by the police, and they caught Jonathan, Katherine, and many others who worked there.. The girls who were kidnapped were patiently trying to contact their families, and soon enough all of them will be freed.. But they didn't find anyone about Baekhyun, or Becky..

After she got discharged, they took her to her house.. They tried to cheer her up so much but it all went in vain.. Neither she talked, nor she looked at them.. So they thought about leaving her alone for sometime.. She'd open up, when times come..

But that didn't happen.. Yoongi took her to her room, telling he was going to make her dinner.. But after some minutes they heard shattering sounds, and those were coming from Areum's room.. They rushed to her room to see, she took her guitar, and started breaking everything with that guitar.. And when they were about to call her, she threw the guitar to the mirror and it shattered in pieces..

Breathing heavily she looked back at them, who were trying so hard not to react.. " Who did this?"

" What are you talking about?" Namjoon asked..

" Who put this thing in my room??" She pointed at the broken mirror..

" Areum I-"

" YOU REALLY WANT ME TO LIVE IN THIS FUCKING NIGHTMARE FOREVER?!!" Suddenly she screamed..

" Areum please calm down.. Why would we do this.. We love you, you know that.."

" SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!" Her eyes were shaking, she started breathing repeatedly.. Suddenly she came in front of them and pushed them, and left her room.. They all rushed behind her, but couldn't get close to her.. She was breaking each and every mirror they kept in the house, the vases, the side tables, the dining table, everything that was showing her reflection, she had broken everything, and was screaming.. She put up a big show, and they couldn't even stop her..

After that Yoongi personally removed all the mirrors from the house, keeping in mind that nothing could reflect.. Matte vases, matte tables, even the window glasses.. He took care of everything.. Yoongi was shattered from the inside seeing her like that..

But she didn't stop there..

These were just a glimpse of what blunder she was gonna make..

She was right when she said, pain calmed her down.. Without letting anyone know about it.. One night she cut herself so many times that she needed to be hospitalized.. One night they woke up smelling something burning.. When they searched for the source of the smell, it took them to Areum's room..

She put fire in her whole room, and sat in the middle.. They were calling her, but she didn't even look at them.. And when they looked at her.. Her face was showing no emotion. She became a stone..

She became dead from the inside..

They tried so hard, but they couldn't stop her.. They started keeping an eye on her everytime time she hurt herself.. At one point they actually forgot counting how many times she tried to attempt suicide, and all of these happened just in 2 months..
Yoongi removed every sharp thing from the house, started using steel plates, mugs, but still she didn't stop.. She'd bite herself, if they didn't give her anything to harm her..

That was the time Namjoon brought Hoseok into the house.. Namjoon wasn't able to make Yoongi understand that a mental asylum wouldn't help her.. Her condition wasn't something that she'd listen to someone, except her..
Hoseok took the responsibility, and took her, and Jungkook with him.. He personally changed his whole house according to how Areum wanted..

A calm place, where she could see the sky, a place where no one, or nothing would remind her what she had to endure.. Where she could take a different personality.. Last of all she needed was love.. A family where she could feel that she matters.. And Hoseok's parents played the role perfectly..

Day by day the changes were in front of everyone.. She learned how to control her inner demon.. What would happen if she let her inner demons take over on her.. Hoseok was right.. She was the only one who could save her..

They saw a new Areum.. Totally different from the previous one.. The Areum who always tried to be cheerful, started isolating herself in her room.. She was breathing just to pump blood in her heart, or she'd stop that too..
She stopped showing any affection to anyone.. All she'd do was just be comfortable around her hyungs.. Without them she'd show herself to every other person as a soulless person.. She'd only talk about what needed to be said, and that's just it..

" Until she met you, Taehyung.." Jungkook was looking at the window, tried to hold his tears and looked back at Taehyung who was sitting on the chair, facepalming himself, thinking about all of the things Jungkook just said..

But he looked up at him, when he said that.. His eyes were wet.. Jungkook gulped.. " You've shown us that there'd be a sheer chance that she can be normal again.. Before you she took care of more people but you were different from them.. You knew somehow what she had felt.. That's what Hobi told us.." Jungkook said, facing him..

" You know why I beat the shit of you that day?" Taehyung shook his head slowly, looking down..

" Because you reminded her how Jonathan treated her.. You reminded her of that face which she wants to rip off.. Which is the reason she hurt herself that night.." Taehyung clenched his jaw to endure the pain he was feeling from the inside..

" But still what we could see because of you, she was changing.. We could see that.. She started laughing, she started showing her true side little by little.. We couldn't thank the Lord enough to get our Areum back.." Jungkook directly looked at him..

" But we couldn't have that for long, and thanks to you Kim Taehyung.."

Taehyung looked up at him, " What?"

" Why'd you make her feel all of those things, when you were the one who ruined them? All over again? What'd happen if you didn't show her that you care for her? Why'd you be the comfort zone for her, that she forgot about everything, and the only thing that mattered to her was you..
That she still kept the band you left on the table when she was admitted.. That she kept the note you left saying you'll wait for her.. Why did you even leave a trace in her life when you would've left her like trash in any way.."

" What are you even saying? Why'd I hurt her? What've I ever done.." Taehyung stood up, and asked..

" You made her fall for you.. You made her love you.." Taehyung shot a look at him, and widened his eyes..

" What??" He asked in disbelief..

" Yes Taehyung.. She loved you, she loves you.. For the 1st time in her life.. She felt something for you, and just for you.." Jungkook gulped..

" And you had to ruin it.. Ever thought why she took care of you, like you're someone close to her, but you were just a simple patient.. I hope not.. You never thought what would Areum feel when you left her, with your.. Maya.." Jungkook sighed..

" I'm not blaming you for choosing your love over her.. But it'd be better if you didn't show you care for her.. If you didn't let her think maybe.. Just maybe you've something for her.."

Taehyung couldn't say anything.. He just stood there processing everything that Jungkook said.. He didn't say a word, and left the house, leaving Jungkook alone..

The whole world seems to have vanished for him.. He was walking on the road, when his mind was messed up.. He didn't realize when he reached his house..

Maya opened the door, and gasped seeing Taehyung's face.. " Babe?? Everything okay?"

Trail of dried tears could be seen on his face, he was breathing slowly, his eyes were down.. His mouth was slightly open.. " Babe what happened??!!" Maya took his face on her palms..

" Nothing.. I need to take a shower.." He politely removed her hands from him, and went inside..

Maya got confused, but thought to leave him alone for sometime. He'd tell her when the time comes.. He went to his room, and the 1st thing he noticed was the mirror.. He looked at himself.. his mind wasn't working, so he went to take a shower..

Running the cold water on him, he tried to calm himself down.. Closing his eyes, he sighed a little.. But that idea was worse.. All he could see now was Areum.. How she used to treat him, how she fought with him, how she made him feel like she's someone whom he can rely on.. Her smile vanished away, and she saw how she was hurting herself in the jungle, the bruises on her arms.. He was seeing all the flashbacks of her..

It was too much for him.. He never thought about Areum like that.. It was a shock hearing that Areum loved him.. He was the reason Areum could change.. His chest repeatedly rose, and fell, he squeezed his eyes, and shot open them..

His tears were mixed with the shower.. He fell on his knees, and buried his face in his palms, and let his emotions flow away with the water.. All he could say is only one sentence..

" I'm sorry, Areum.. "
