Chapter 74

Masks

Millions of thoughts ran through my mind. This is bad. Really bad. Zico's lips pressed harder against mine, like he was trying to get more from me. I froze, standing there like a statue, unable to move. My mind told me to move and do something, but my body refused. This was not what I planned.

I tried to gather myself and think of a way out. It doesn't look like Himchan will come and Yongguk probably doesn't want nything to do with me right now, so I'm on my own. Yongguk.. I cheated on Yongguk. If our previous argument wasn't enough, now we will probably break up for good. I can't blame him, though, since it was my fault.

Zico tried to insert his tongue to my mouth. I refused at first, but then an idea came to my mind. I just need to distract him and make him think I'm cooperating, and then I can kick his when he is not expecting it. It's only the two of us, so my chances to beat him are higher. Besides, I'm not going to let him take advantage of me. If Yongguk didn't spend time intimately with me there is no way Zico will do it.

I took a deep breath, preparing myself mentally. "I'm sorry, Gukkie." was the only thing that went through my mind before leaning closer and returning Zico's kiss. I attached my lips to his, deepening the kiss. He was surprised at first, but then he smiled and kissed me passionately. My hands went up to his hair while his hands were traveling to the sides of my body. It felt wrong and I felt disgusted from his touch, but I endured it, convincing myself it's the only way to get out of here.

At some point Zico stopped to get some air. I was relieved. "Your'e good." he stated, and attached our lips again for another heated kiss. He became more comfortable, letting his gaurd down, and it was my time to act. I lifted my right leg slowly, trying to do it without him noticing, and started to move it towards his crotch. At that moment there was a knock on the door. "ers." Zico groaned, seperating from me. I quickly put my leg down, pretending nothing happened and that I'm sad someone disturbed us.

"Who is it?" Zico asked, and I was happy someone disturbed us, although it means my plan got ruined for now. Maybe the guest will rescue me..

"Room service." A male's voice was heard from the other side of the door.

"I ordered wine and food. We can have a romantic dinner and than continue our fun. We have a long night ahead of us, you'll need the energy." Zico smiled and caressed my cheek. I felt disgusted. Jerk. Taking advantage of someone else, weaker than you, is the lowest thing you can do.

Zico went to open the door while I stayed in my place. I didn't see much from my spot, but I tried to listen carefully to what's happening.

"Just in time." Zico smiled brightly while opening the door. "I'm starving." he stated. Only then he looked at the person in front of him, realizing something is wrong - Sey stood there with the room service cart, smiling brightly at him. Behind her were Yongguk and Himchan.

"Hungry, huh?" Sey laughed. "Have this." she pushed the cart towards him strongly, knocking Zico down. He growned in pain, holding his waist.

"You ." Zico muttered and got up, preparing to fight back.

"Not a chance." she hit his head with a tray that she found on the cart. He fell down to the floor, and she smiled. "Idiot."

Sey scanned the room, Himchan and Yongguk following her. Yongguk still looked out of it and like he didn't know what he was doing there. She sighed and turned the corner, heading a different side of the room. Her eyes landed on Hyeri, laying unconcious on the floor.

"Hyeri!" she rushed to her, trying to wake her up. She held her in her arms, trying to see what's wrong.

"Wake up.. Please wake up." Sey shook Hyeri, but still no reaction. she slapped her lightly, trying to wake her up, but nothing.

"Lift her legs up, she probbaly just fainted." Himchan said, and she obeyed.

"What did that ert actually do to her?" Sey wondered, examining Hyeri's outfit.

"What does it looks like? You were disturbing our private time together." Zico sat up, rubbing his hurting head.

"Go back to sleep." Yongguk mumbled and hit Zico's head again with the tray. Zico lost concious once again and fell to the ground.

"What's wrong?" I asked while opening my eyes. My head hurt and I was confused. I was laying on the floor and Sey and Himchan sat next to me. I was relieved seeing them. It means I'm safe.

"Your'e awake!" Sey beamed and hugged me tightly.

"Yah! Give her some space, she just woke up." Himchan scolded Sey and she released me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked confused.

"I told you I will help you." Himchan smiled.

"What took you so long?" I frowned.

"Ungrateful brat. What would you have done if I hadn't come at all?" Himchan argued. He has a point..

"Thanks, oppa." I said shyly.

"What did that jerk did to you? Are you okay?" Sey asked again, examining me.

"I'm fine now." I tried to smile. I looked around the room. I saw Zico laying on the floor in the center of the room and Yongguk was standing close to him, watching him. Yongguk.. My heart skipped a beat. He came. It means he cares, right? But why isn't he coming to talk to me?

"Give him some time." Himchan said when he noticed I'm looking sadly at Yongguk and put his hand on my shoulder, trying to cheer me up.

"Alright." I said and turned my gaze back to him and Sey. Maybe I should get used to Yongguk ignoring me since he has every right to, especially since I cheated on him.. I'm so stupid. I'm stupid for messing up and for cheating and for expecting him to forgive me for every mistake I make, big or small. Not everything can be forgiven, and maybe Yongguk reached his limit.

"Are you sure you are okay?" Sey asked, looking worriedly at me.

"I'm fine now. Thanks for coming to rescue me." I smiled a little. I am grateful for them.

"Do you want to change? Do you know where your clothes are?"

"Yes. They are in the bathroom.. He made me change to this thing." I pointed at my nightgowm. It was pretty, but not for this occasion. Right now I want to burn this thing and everything related to it.

"ert." Sey mumbled.

"She came here on her own will, I didn't force her!" Zico argued from his place.

"Shut up!" Yongguk ordered and hit Zico again.

"Can you stand up?" Sey asked.

"Yes, I think so.." I said and tried to get up. I felt a little dizzy and Himchan helped me until I got my balance back. I walked slowly to the bathroom and locked the door after me. I sat on the floor near the door and started crying. Everything related to this crappy situation just bursted out - Guilt, worry, gratitude, longing, disgust, anger. I don't know how long I stayed there like this, but I cried until my tears dried.

"Hey, are you okay there?" Sey asked from the other side of the door after knocking on it lightly.

"Yes, I'm coming." I said and looked at my reflection in the mirror. It was a mess, but it described my feeling at the moment perfectly. I quickly changed clothes and tried to fix my appearance a bit. When I finished I joined the others.

"Are you ready? We can leave, I don't think he will wake up soon.." Himchan said and pointed at Zico.

"Yes.. But I want to do something first." I said and he looked curiously at me. To his surprise, I appraoched Zico and stared at him. I bent down to his level.

"Wake up.." I poked Zico lightly.  He opened his eyes slowly and looked at me.

"You are pretty, princess.." he smiled, and Yongguk snorted. I smiled as well and got up.

"That's for trying to take advantage of me." I said and kicked his groin strongly. He winced in pain and I kicked his stomach as well. When I wanted to leave he grabbed my ankle, pulling me down. I lost my balance and fell on top of him. Zico smirked and turned us over, so now he was laying on top of me, trapping me beneath him. All of this happened in seconds, so I didn't have time to react. When I realized what's happening and got back to my senses he was already on top of me.

"Let go, you ert!" I hit his chest with my hands.

"Not so soon, sweety." he smiled mischievously and took out a pocket knife, placing it next to my neck. I tried not to move too much so I won't get hurt. .

Zico slowly moved to sit next to me and started to get up, lifting me with him. He made sure I was in front of him, his knife still placed on my neck.

"Listen to me, all of you. If you don't want your little friend to say goodbye too soon you better do as I say." Zico threatened. Sey, Himchan and Yongguk exchanged worried looks between them, trying to find a solution.

"Just go, you idiots! He won't kill me for real and even if he does, it's not worth it." I said, and Zico pressed the knife stronger. I felt the blade grazing my skin. It was uncomfortable, but I tried to ignore it. The most important thing right now is that they'll go and leave me alone with this freak.. They shouldn't suffer because of me.

"Are you crazy? There is no way we are leaving you here with him." Himchan said.

"No one is leaving since I don't trust you and you'll probbaly call the police the minute your'e out of here, so nobody moves." Zico stated.

"Oppa.." Sey approached Himchan, hugging him tightly.

"It will be alright." he tried to calm her down by rubbing her back.

"The three of you, on your knees in a line in front of me. Now." Zico ordered. They looked at each other confused and slowly obeyed. Sey was kneeling between the two males.

"Good kids." Zico smiled. "What should I do with you now?"

"Let them go. Your problem is with me." I muttered while trying to release myself from his grip, but he was too strong. In response I got slapped. It hurt, but I endured it. I was too afraid to look at the others. I didn't want to see their reaction, especially not Yongguk's, so I kept my gaze on the floor.

"How about I'll take care of you first since you talk too much? And I'm sure your little boyfriend will be happy to witness everything.." Zico told me, laughing.

"Psycho." I muttered.

"Come with me." He started walking and pulled me after him, his knife still on my neck. Zico made his way to the closet while watching the others kneeling on the floor so they can't do anything. After opening the closet he scanned it for a moment until his eyes landed on what he was looking for - a rope. How twisted is he to prepare this thing beforehand? I'm pretty sure hotels usually don't have this kind of stuff in their rooms.

While Zico was looking for something in the closet and dragging Hyeri with him, The others tried to get to a better position without Zico noticing. It was like playing "Red light, green light" but more dangerous since you can't trust Zico and getting caught would be bad.. Really bad. They exchanged looks between them, trying to figure out what to do and what are their options.

"I think I got it." Himchan whispered after moving a little forward, but still keeping the formation Zico wanted.

"What?" Sey asked, whispering as well and hoping Zico won't hear them.

"Look around." Himchan answered.

"What?" she whispered, confused.

"All of you, shut up!" Zico growled, and they immediately kept quiet.

"Tell me what you meant." Sey mouthed, and Himchan shook his head. It's going to be more complicated than he thought..

Zico smiled and took the rope, making his way back to the center of the room, with me in front of him. He brought a chair and forced me to sit on it. He started to tie the rope around me so I won't move. Satisfied with his work, he turned his attention back to the others.

"So, Yongguk hyung, do you have any requests before I do what I want with your little treasure?" Zico asked, smirking.

"Stay away from her, you ." Yongguk glared at him.

"Wrong answer." Zico laughed mischieviously. "I guess I'm going to have some fun.."

 


 

Author's Note:

 

It's shorter then the last chapter because I think it will be too long if I continue, so you'll have to wait a little more :)

 

I'm sorry if you expected a serious fight between Zico and Yongguk and you got an oblivious Yongguk instead.. There is an explenation for it.

 

A few explenations about things that happened in this chapter (Just in case it wasn't clear enough):

- The "room service" - If you haven't figured it out yet, there will be an explenation in the next chapter.

- Hyeri fainted from stress, and that's how Sey found her.

- Oblivious Yongguk - Like the previous chapter, Yongguk is still mad and he was dragged there by Himchan. He doesn't want to be there and he doesn't want anything to do with Hyeri at the moment, especially not things like this. Hopefully he will get back to his senses now because there are things more important than his anger and his problems with Hyeri..

- Himchan, Sey and Yongguk didn't help Hyeri when she was knocked over by Zico because everything happened too fast and when they wanted to help her, Zico already took out the pocket knife he had. Hyeri also mentioned that everything happened in seconds and she didn't have enough time to react.

- Himchan's plan - To be continued.. But I gave you a hint ;)

- The rope and the pocket knife - Zico planned it beforehand.

 

I think I covered everything.. If there is something else that got you confused or that you didn't understand, feel free to ask :)

 

y Zico might make a comeback in the next chapter, and Yongguk might come back to his senses at last, along with the awaited fight..

Chapter 156: Wow, I was blaming both of them at 1st, as things could’ve been handled so much better on both sides. I loved how Himchan & Sey reasoned with both of them, but Hyeri crossed a line once Yongguk apologized. I didn’t feel she necessarily deserved it, but I knew they both needed it.... sure the way he apologized, did seem like a back handed apology, as her kissing technique could’ve been discussed privately. But Hyeri towards Himchan, she needs to make this better, and of course, he hit below the belt, but she had consistently hit below the belt prior & then to hit him!!! I’m not sure how this is going to turn out, thank you for updating!!

Chapter 156: I still one hundred percent believe that this entire situation is one in which Hyeri is very much at fault. I don’t think Yongguk is in a position where Hyeri requires an apology and I don’t think Hyeri even DESERVES an apology. She completely blew a small and minor incident out of proportion.

I do believe that Himchan went slightly too far with the comment he made however Hyeri shouldn’t have been as horrible to him as she was.

Chapter 155: Welcome back!!!!!!!!!!! I was BEYOND happy to see the update, wow so much happened, where to begin? I see Hyeri & Himchan are still at each other’s throats, I do wish they could get along, and that Hyeri would see the validity in what Himchan said, but no matter what, I think time stopped when Yongguk said Sumi was a better kisser. I felt bad, that super slam, even if honest, that was the time to lie. Especially knowing Hyeri... I was shocked she would kiss him after that was said, and kept thinking why does kissing Yongguk keep coming up, even after he said she wasn’t as good of a kisser. .... sighs, once again, he’s storming out and even with his stupid honestly, I can’t say I blame him. Thank you so much for coming back & for updating,

Chapter 155: WOOP WOOP!! MY FAVE FANFIC IS BACK!!! And OMG this is spicy as hell. I just wish Hyeri would stop being a drama queen and finally realise that she needs to get some help and that Yongguk loves her.

Chapter 153: Chapter 152: I miss this :,) it was legit the only reason I kept on checking this website

Chapter 153: Thank you for updating despite your busy schedule. I truly hope that Hyeri is ok! She let a lot of things off her chest the night before, and while I do wish she would've thought of the impact her leaving like that would have, I hope they catch her in time before she does something that would change all of their lives. Regarding the comment I just read, there's a difference between constructive criticism & just plain being rude. While it's true, being factual or doing some research on weightier subjects is a good rule of thumb, most of us are adults that don't use fanfics as our barometer of social issues. Assuming what someone's language is, was completely unnecessary to state. You don't have to read the story, if you're a writer, you should understand what it takes to create, upload & continue a story remembering details from previous chapters...etc. If you're not a writer, perhaps you should put yourself in the author's shoes before you begin.
