Yoona looked at the ring on her finger lying to herself that the warmth of Sooyoung hands still remained as she felt the urge to cry again. The tears refused to come no matter how much she tried and she screamed from the frustration of it. Slamming her palm against the dinner Sunny had brought for her, Yoona sent the plates crashing to the ground as she buried her head into the pillows on her bed and breathe in deeply enjoying the remains of Sooyoung scent on it as she hugged herself to sleep.

Sunny heard the plates crashing to the ground and sighed as she looked at Taeyeon. "Its been the third day now and she's still not eating or drinking anything. If this continues, I really don't know how long she can hang on for. Are you sure you don't know where Sooyoung has gone to?" Taeyeon nodded in reply as she turned her back against Sunny and pretended that she was falling asleep. Taeyeon felt Sunny settling down beside her as she mouthed the words silently "I am sorry baby."

Yuri fired the gun in her hands as she emptied the magazine into the target in front of her. Jessica removed her headphones when the last bullet was spent and pressed a button to retrieve the target practice paper. "Not bad. You managed to get 18 out of 20." She mimicked the action of leaving a small gap between her fingers as she laughed. "You are now so close to being on par with me." Yuri scowled in reply as she turned around with her back facing Jessica. She suddenly bent down and swept Jessica's feet off the ground with her foot and hurriedly rushed and grabbed hold of her waist before Jessica's head could hit the ground. Bending down, she looked deep into Jessica's eyes as she smiled and leaned in for a kiss. "You are now so close to being the one on top."

Sooyoung panted hard as she leaned against the wall behind her for support. 3 men surrounded her as they forced her into a corner of the room each wielding a different weapon. One was tightening the piece of cloth that he had tied around his hand and the hilt of his sword as he slashed the air in front of him preparing himself to go in for the kill. The second guy rotated the bo in a circle around him as he shifted his weight from his left to his right looking for the right opportunity to strike and the third guy smirked as he flicked his wrists and the whip in his hand cracked threateningly on the wall inches away from Sooyoung's face. Lsm looked at their fight through the computer screen and smiled to himself as he wondered how Sooyoung was going to get herself out of this situation. Beside him a psychologist gave him a running commentary of her mental state and a device at the side of the screen revealed everything about Sooyoung's physical state as it constantly measured her exhaustion level, her blood pressure and her pulse.

Sooyoung decided to drop one of them first as it was really too difficult to take on 3 at one go. She faked a movement to her right changing her direction in mid air at the very last moment and striked hard as she cupped her hands forcefully over the sword wielder's ears rupturing his eardrums in an instant. He fell onto the ground as brain concussion took over his body and he jolted uncontrollably for a few times before drawing in his last breath. Landing on the ground, Sooyoung lowered her body immediately as the bo swept forcefully above her head crashing into the wall behind her. She kicked out with her foot aiming for the bo wielder's shin and felt exhilarated when her foot connected and she heard him cry out from the pain. Sooyoung watched as the guy's legs gave way beneath him sending him crashing hard into the cemented ground. Sooyoung was about to close in for the kill when she heard a whistling sound in the air behind her. She moved sharply away as the end of the whip grazed past her face and red hot blood flowed freely from the wound. The whip whistled through the air again and Sooyoung caught it with her hands this time. Forcing herself to blank out the pain of the wound on her face and arms, she pulled the 3rd guy towards her sharply and striked the side of his head with her elbows. He laid on the floor dazed as she wound his whip tightly around his neck and pulled it with all her might. His face slowly turned purple as he struggled to breathe and he was saved when a voice sounded over the intercom. "Thats enough Sooyoung. let him go. You have proven yourself to me." Sooyoung released the death grip she held on his whip and stood away from the guys on the floor. She walked out of the dojo to the sound of clapping hands as LSM looked proudly at her and pulled her in for an embrace. "Well done Sooyoung. Very well done indeed. You have improved a lot over the years and you have proven yourself worthy enough to work for me." Sooyoung nodded curtly as she wiped away the blood that streamed down her face. LSM motioned to his guards to clean up the dojo as he placed an arm around his daughter leading her to the infimary to get her wounds attended to. Behind them, 2 sounds of gunshots rang out as LSM's guards cleaned up the scene after Sooyoung.
