Asuka wasn't sure about anything anymore. The police didn't question her after arresting her after making such a big fuss. She guessed it was all Riku's doing. He probably hated her so much because of her previous action and put her in jail.

'Then does that mean those numbers aren't his interest in me?'

The game reached the bad ending as soon as his interest rose to ten. Now she just needs to spend four days before the next route. The penalty wasn't bad as she expected it to be.

Problem was she couldn't understand why she reached the bad ending. Even if she returns back to the beginning she wasn't sure how to reach the good ending. From the beginning she only guessed it's a dating game where she needs to make them simply fall in love with her.

But what if that thought itself is entirely wrong? Unfortunately there was no one that can explain it to her. When she asked about the conditions of the good ending, the system's window only remained silent.

'Come to think about what's a yandere?'

Asuka can't help but feel like she has seen this strange word somewhere. Maybe this word can be related to what's happening to her.

The information and search of the system won't work until the end of the penalty. She could just sit in jail quietly, staring at the clock, hoping for the four days to finish faster.

Until she spotted a very familiar figure.

"R-Riku you bastard!"

"How're you doing, Yoshino-chan?" He asked with a sickeningly sweet voice, obviously not concerning about her. It was just to mock her and see her angry face.

"What're you doing here? To see someone you handed over to police with a false evidence? Or to see how the one you hate is doing?" Asuka's voice was bitter. It included a lot of emotions such as anger, feeling of betrayal and embarrassment.

"I'm here to get you out of here"

With a nod a two man in black suit opened the door and dragged her out of the cell. Something in her was whispering her to resist and stay under the protection of the nation so she did. But the two bodyguards were simply too strong for her.

"I'm not going with you"

"You will. So stop resisting"

"I would rather die here than going with you. If you were going to get me out of her illegally then why report me to the police in the first place? Are you going to tell them again that I was planning to escape?!" Anger overwhelmed her as her tone got louder and louder. Even though she was small and fragile, guards were having a hard time holding her in one place.

"I'll explain it when we got home" he simply smiled back at her and put some unknown medicine on his tongue. In the blink of an eye his lips covered hers before she could say anything.

He pushed the medicine on his tongue to her mouth which she gulped down without much resistance, probably because she was too surprised to even think straight.

Soon the sleeping pill Riku gave her started kicking in and everything turned pitch black.

The last thing she could feel was someone lifting her on his arms in a bridal style. Normally it would feel romantic but knowing the owner of that hands, only thing she felt was disgust.

***

I woke up on a soft bed facing a very beautiful ceiling as if it was made of pure diamond and gold.

A realization hit me hard as I quickly struggled to get up only to feel something was restricting my movements. I was wearing a white night gown instead of my previous clothes I wore to that damn date.

This bastard... how dare he chain me to the bed like a dog? My wrist and ankles were chained and I could only lift my head a little.

I know it's him just by looking at the fancy room. Plus I can still feel his tongue in my mouth which wanted me to vomit everything in my stomach. Unfortunately there was nothing to vomit right now.

Over half a day has passed? What the hell did he give to make me sleep this long?

"Oh, you're awake. I brought you a breakfast"

The huge double door that's located opposite of my bed opened, revealing the certain boy that's grinning ear to an ear.

Surprisingly his smile feels so natural... probably effect of that medicine. There's no way he would smile genuinely at me like that.

"What's going on? Why am I here chained to the bed post like a dog?"

He smile dropped slightly and the dark smile I saw at the pool appeared. I could only swear at myself and this damn mouth.

"Because you'll try to escape from me. This way you can only look at me alone. You can't leave me, or do something I don't want you to do"

His voice sounded so serious and scary.. I've never witnessed something like this before. What is he? Some sick psycho jealous husband?

"Okay, I know you hate me. If I ever offended you I'm sorry. And I apologize for slapping, ignoring and cursing you. I won't do that ever again so please release this things, okay? You're not in your right mind right now. Your act is considered as a kidnapping. What if your parents found out? If you let me go I swear I won't tell anyone again and I'll never ever get in your way"

I tried begging him with a soft voice. To deal with a psycho you must use any means necessary to get out of his reach. I thought he'll realize his mistake and release me immediately but instead he just stood there and chuckled.

"Hahaha, as expected you're smart. But there's sooo many mistakes in that sentence"

He leaned closer to me after putting the food tray on the table. I tried to keep my distance but these damn chains were restricting my movements completely.

"First.. it's not a kidnap. According to the newspaper over here and you're in jail"

I saw a newspaper in his hand with a my picture on it. It was picture of me getting arrested by a cops from yesterday.

"Second, I can do whatever I want regardless of my parents' will. Honestly I think they're scared of me. That's the only explainable reason why I am living alone in this place right?"

I gulped in fear. Now everyone thinks I'm in a prison and there's nothing that can stop him from doing whatever he want to me. No one will search for me because I'm not a missing person. I'm a prisoner.

"And lastly... I'm not doing it because I hate you. I love you so much, Yoshino-chan. You're smart, brave and so prideful sometimes. And I want to see you losing those things to me.."

"Very slowly...." he started whispering in my ear. Only thing I could do was shiver in fear.

"One by one until you can't do anything by yourself without me..."

I can't believe my ears. This psycho...

"I simply hate seeing you being so independent on your own. That's why I'll start from these beautiful eyes.." I could see a small knife in his hand.

"W-wait, what're you doing?!"

"I feel bad for hurting your pretty face but this is the only way I could think of. Without these you can't run away from me..."

"Stop it please. Don't do that.. you said you love me right? That'll hurt me so don't do that..please.." I pleaded and pleaded. But with a smile he pointed the knife towards me.

"Don't worry. With this you can't see this dirty and disgusting world anymore.."

I couldn't resist . The chains were burning my wrist and ankle. I felt so tired.

I can only understand why the penalty is spending 4 days in this world.

"You don't have to feel the dirty gaze of those guys outside.."

What did I do to deserve this? I just wanted to end this stupid game.

Is it the cost of saving that child with my body? Is it the cost of struggling for so many years to graduate university and get a job?

Maybe it's the cost of killing my own father and didn't take responsibility.

I shook my head violently, trying to avoid the sharp edge that's about to touch my knife. But it took only one try to Riku to make me stop. With one hand he pushed down my head while the other hand which is holding the knife began to slice my eyes.

"It hurts..." I could only cry out in pain as the sharp edge of the small knife cut my eyes very deep and painfully. No matter how loud I scream there was nothing I could do to stop the pain. It hurts so damn much. Even my death didn't hurt this much.

I can feel my blood running down my cheeks instead of my tears. My vision got darker as well as my mind. And it was only my right eyes.

"Stop it... it hurts....it hurts...it hurts...stop...."

"Now you can't even find the door to escape" he directed the sharp object now covered in blood to my left eyes.

It won't be surprising if I die from this pain. But unfortunately I didn't. He was very careful not to kill me.

Soon I fainted. When I woke up the pain was still there. And I became incapable of even seeing the system window.

After spending a few days under the care of doctors and Riku. my dark nightmare finally ended. Only hearing his voice makes me shudder in fear. His smile which was very real when he cut my eyes always appear in my dream.

My vision returned as soon as the message popped up. I was back in the dark room where everything began before the first route.

Without hesitation I pressed the new route button. If possible I don't want to meet that psycho ever again.

No, I don't want to meet a psycho like him.
