Ji Eun struggled to overcome her anxiety, trying to hard not to show her weaknesses to the enemy.

Her breathing began to be more and more uneven as she released louder wheezing sound.

“Yah, what is wrong with her?”, the man guarded next to her inquired worriedly

“We are supposed to bring her alive not dead”, He added

“W-wh-who are y-yo-you?! Ww-what do you w-wa-want from m-me?!”, She managed to asked furiously under her shaky voice

“Hahaha, are you scared, young lady?”, the other guy asked her teasingly.

She gasped for air endlessly

“aish, this is so annoying!”, another guy stated, annoyed by her anxiety, as he took out a clean white handkerchief in his pocket and forcefully placing it onto Ji Eun’s nose, forcefully making her breathe in the chemical poured onto the clothing.

Her vision became blurry as her body slowly felt weaker and weaker. She struggled to stay awake but it was inevitable for her to faint under the influence of chloroform .

“That solves the problem isn’t it?”, He said feeling satisfied of his action.

He opened his heavy eye lids slowly, slowly adjusting to the light that brightened the whole while room.

“Ahh”, Sehun sighed in pain as he felt his body ached

“Sehun?”, Baekhyun approached worriedly to the lad that laid weakly on the hospital bed.

“He’s awake?”, Kai inquired as he moved towards Sehun. Other copied their moves and gathered around Sehun.

“Sehun? Are you okay?”,asked the worried Suho

“Wh-where am *coughed* I-I?”, Sehun asked with his croaked voice

“Hospital, you idiot!’, Chanyeol answered in anger and worry.

“What happened, Sehun-ah?”, D.O asked filled with concern

Sehun replied by twitching in pain. All of sudden, his eyes widened as if he had seen the worst

“W-w-wae? Why? Are you okay?”, Baekhyun asked when he saw Sehun’s expression

“Lee Ji Eun?! Where is she? Is she okay?”, asked Sehun with his breathy voice as he strove to get up but he was held by his fellow friends.

“Calm down!”, Suho took the led as Sehun still struggled to be let go.

“Sehun-ah, you have to rest! Calm down and tell us what happen”, he ordered steadily

“Lee Lee Ji-Ji Eun”, Sehun managed to say before letting out a drop of teardrop

“Sehun, what happened?”, D.O asked impatiently as he held firmly on Sehun’s shoulders.

Sehun stared blankly with a remorse look, looking helpless.

“What happened to Ji Eun, Sehun-ah?”, D.O spoke louder

“We were on our way back, I was walking her home then someone just took her!”, He let out in between sniffles.

The other watched him waiting for him to continue, holding on their mixed feeling in their hearts

“I tried to stop those men, but there were too many of them, I was bashed when they took her away. What am I supposed to do?, I couldn’t protect her. I'm sorry. I really am”, He burst before he dropped his chin to his chest, letting out more silent sobs.

“Sehun-ah”, Chanyeol called shakily, also, too shocked of what he had heard.

“Ji Eun?”, D.O said with a hint of tremulous before he exited his way out of the hospital room.

“Kyungsoo!”, Suho called out as he followed him out

Kai hugged Sehun tightly, unsure whether he was comforting him or the other way round as he let out a heavy exhalation while the other just stare blankly at the wall, unable to decipher the predicament.

“Kyungsoo!”, Suho called out.

“Suho, I need to call Aunt Bo Young. We need to find her. Ji Eun.. Ji Eun how will she be?”, D.O blurted out as he continued running after a short pause.

Suho sprinted catching up to him, grabbed his shoulder before he can move another limb.

“Let’s go together, okay?”, he said in between catching his breath.

D.O nodded frantically.

Without patience, D.O repeatedly pressed the door bell of Ji Eun’s house. They were welcomed by Aunt Bo young who was wearing a very worried expression.

“D.O? Suho?”, She asked in high pitched

“Ji Eun”, D.O let out, ambiguous of relaying Ji Eun’s new

“Yes, Ji Eun! It is really late, have you seen her? I’ve been trying to call her. I even tried calling Sehun cause She said she was with him and now it’s almost 3 am and she is still not home. I am so worried, D.O-yah, Suho-ah”, Aunt Bo Young said with a wobbly voice as if she was about to burst crying.

“Ji Eun, Ji Eun.. She’s”, D.O fidgeted as he was trying to construct his sentence

Suho tap his shoulder, saying that he would do it instead.

“Aunt Bo Young, Ji Eun was with Sehun but I think she got kidnapped along the way. We just knew about it too, I am sorry, Aunt Bo Y-”,Suho tried to said it calmly but it was unsuccessful

“Kidnapped?!” Aunt Bo Young cried as she almost collapsed but Suho quickly caught her by her shoulder.

“Ji Eunnie, ah, my baby, Ji Eunnie”, Aunt Bo Young wailed in despair accompanied by endless sob.

“Any update from Suho?”, Sehun asked restlessly as he couldn’t do much

Baekhyun shook his head weakly.

Sehun sighed loudly, clenching his jaw in distress.

“How long till I’ll be discharge? I can’t stand longer in here”, he added breaking the silence.

“A few more days. Just a few more days and you can’t do much anyways cause it can make your injuries worse, sehun-ah”, chanyeol said

Sehun grumbled feeling frustrated and helpless.

Her eyes widen
