It's been a while... But, since it's 0805 today. Here's an update.

 

 

 

Tiffany POV

"Rap! Rap! Get up, please!" Hyomin cried in so many tears while nudging her boyfriend's lifeless body.

"Hyomin, run." I uttered. "Please, just run away."

"Get up, please. Don't leave me like this." she continued to murmur for the life of her lover.

"Hyomin, please." I uttered again.

A long silence struck the place... I pleaded for her to run again.

She finally looked at me and uttered weakly, "Why...? What for...?"

"Hyomin..."

She gazed back to her lover. "Rap's dead. And this is all your fault."

"..."

"I hope you'll die here too."

She kissed Rap's forehead for one last time. Then, she stood up and walked away. I gazed back to Siwon. Still, his demonic smile was planted on his lips.

"You do not worry, Stephanie. I always do honor my words." He looked at me. "As promised to that boy, I will not kill her. It's just that... " He went closer to me. "It's just that I didn't promise to spare his life."

"..."

"But, how could she blame you for her lover's death? It is not your fault, right?" he asked mockingly. He reached for my chin and held it. He made me look at the people he abducted. "Now, see the sympathetic faces they wear right now?"

"Spare them, please. They did nothing to you. If you want to kill me then just kill me! Stop this craziness, Siwon!"

He removed his hold of me and then just sighed deeply. Then he suddenly shot one old man on the head. They even more feared for their own lives.

Lots of blood spilled on the ground as Siwon continued to fire gunshots against the heads of those innocent individuals. My vision started to lose color and blurred out. Extreme pain has struck my head.

I couldn't bear what I was seeing. I tried to loosen the nail that was pinned against my hand but it was no use. I screamed and screamed, pleading him to stop yet, he never did. Horrible memories then started to consume my mind.

"Stephanie. Dear, Stephanie. Don't be weak like your mother." An unfamiliar woman said to me.

She knelt in front of me and held both of my hands. "Don't be like your parents."

"Is it wrong to be weak, auntie?"

Aunt? Who is she?

"Yes. That's why you have to be strong... And you can never be strong with them around. "

"Why?"

"Because they're holding you back."

"Why are we here, auntie? This place is scary."

"It is scary, yes." She smirked. "But, being scared is good."

I looked around. I've never been to this place before. Dark, empty, and completely broken place. Why am I here?

"Now..." She took the gun on my side and handed it to me. "Why don't we unleash your potential?"

My potential?

"Yes. You need to let that out so you can destroy your parents."

Destroy my parents?

"Yes. Kill them." She pointed at the weapon. "With this thing."

"B-but--- I don't want my mum and daddy to die."

"Why not?"

"They are my mum and daddy."

"And that's it, right? They're just your parents. Nothing else. They can be replaced with even better."

"But..."

"They always hated you, Sweetie. They despised you. They did nothing but hurt you." She smiled sincerely. "And I am the only one who does love you. No one else."

"T-that's not true. My mum and daddy love me too."

She smirked at me. "But they never did, sweetie." She looked at me straight in the eyes. "And they never will."

"..."

"Tell me... do you even remember a single time your mother kissed you like this?" She kissed my forehead.

I shook my head, "No..."

"See?" she repeated. "I am the only one who loves you." She then held my hand. "Just the two of us and your uncle Siwon. We'll be happy. You'll be happier."She pinched my nose lightly as she chuckled, "We're going to play every day if that's what you want."

"..."

"Isn't that what you want?"

"..."

"Now, what do we do to those who hate and hurt us, Stephanie?"

"What?"

"We kill them, of course." She stood up and reached my hand again. She led me to another large room. She was still carrying the gun.

There were people of different ages tied up individually. Their mouths were covered with tapes. She made me stand in front of them. The abducted men looked at me as if pleading for their lives.

"These are the people who hurt me, Stephanie." she said. "Now, I will show you how to destroy them." She smiled at me again. "You're gonna help me out on killing all of them, right?"

She aimed at one then pulled the gun's trigger. A hole was made on the man's forehead. He fell lifeless with his pleading eyes still open. Blood was dripping from the hole the bullet made.

"Aim for the head, sweetie." Aunt Hyori went near me and handed me the gun. She guided my hands to aim for one of the abductees. She then took steps back. "Always aim for the head." she continued.

The trigger was pulled.

No. No. This cannot be.

I continued to hit my head by my hands.  Tears continued to drip down on my cheeks.

Stop! Get out of my head!

This isn't true!

"Hahahaha!!!" Siwon suddenly laughed loudly. 

"Stop." I uttered as I cried. "Stop getting inside my head. Please stop."

He went near and held my cheeks with his one hand. "You were so ing horrible, weren't you?" He whispered in my ear. "We are just the same."

I shook my head, "No. I am not like you!"

"Look at them!" he shouted and forcefully turned my head to face people he shot. "That was what you did! You ing did even worse! Do you want me to remind you too of how worse it was the way you did it?!"

"No, stop!"

"Do you want me to remind you of ing how many, Stephanie?! Of how many did you kill?!"

"No..." This isn't true. No. It can't be...

He forcefully turned my head again to face him directly. "Hyori, my wife. She made you great. And you should be thankful for that. My wife loved you like her own!"

He removed his hold of me. "But what did you? Tell me, what did you do?"

"Stop. Stop, please." I cried.

"What did you do?!!!" He grabbed and pulled my hair.

"Stop!"

"You. Killed. Her. You ing killed my wife!" He slapped me on the left cheek. "Now, you still think you are a good person? Now, you are innocent?"

"No. I don't want to hear any more of your lies."

"Why would I lie? Why would I ing lie?"

"Stop. Please."

"Don't you remember? Don't you remember that day you killed her?" He grabbed my hair again at pulled it from behind. "Hyori. Aunt Hyori. Don't you remember your Aunt
