Jennie's POV

"Hello... little bitch. You're finally awake." A gruff voice greeted. I know that voice.

My head throbbed painfully as i blinked rapidly, trying to adjust to the harsh lighting. I tried to move my limbs but they were secured tightly with a rope.

"Mfmfmf!"

I tried to cuss out or make a sound but i soon realised that i was bound and gagged, lying like a useless lump on the floor.

A set of footsteps walked towards me calmly.

"Oh no no you dirty whore. Don't even bother wasting your breath or energy. Its just you and me now you see?"

Despite my pounding headache, i jerked my head up and landed my eyes on who else but my ex lover.

"Mmmmfmmfmfm mfmfmm!"

Taehyung grinned at my obvious pathetic attempts to struggle against the binds as he squatted down and traced my jaw while licking his lips. I throw my head back in disgust and glared at him, internally screaming for satan to open up a hell hole to swallow him down.

"Tsk tsk tsk. Still a feisty little bitch i see. Well no worries, we can settle that small issue later. Right now i have more important matters at hand. I have to deal with your ah.. little girlfriend who no doubt is tearing her hair out in anxiety wondering where the fuck you disappeared to." He cackled merrily standing up and striding towards the table, picking up and brandishing a short rusty dagger.

My eyes widen in horror as i watched him wield the wickedly sharp blade and wetness started to gather around my eyeballs.

Where are you lisa? Please call the police and save me, don't come on your own.

"Just wait till the fun part nini. I can't wait to return back all the punches your crazy girlfriend threw at me at the party. I can't wait to mar her pretty face with this dagger. And then i can't wait to see the look of devastation and helplessness as i make her watch me fuck you right infront of her before slitting your throat." Taehyung cackled with a gleam in his eyes, slamming the knife back on the table.

My heart closed around my throat in panic as i listened to his horrible scheme. I couldn't believe the man standing in this room with me right now was the same man i used to date. He was an utterly different being from the one i recognized. The one existing now was purely a monster. Where was the old Taehyung? Even if he was always a cheating asshole, he would never physically hurt anyone.

I couldn't believe that a few hours back i was still huddled safely in bed, with a pair of arms holding me tight, protecting me and whispering sweet nothings in my ear. It had only been last night that we were making love at my apartment, making unspoken promises of our future and pouring everything we felt for each other. It was only a few moments ago where i was shopping at the grocery store thinking about all the things i would do in the future with lisa, all the moments we would share now that we were about to live in the same apartment. All thoughts came rushing to my mind as i savoured each and every one of them painfully, recalling even the tiniest unimportant detail of my life revolving around every single person ive ever known.

I can't let go yet. I will not. There were still so many things i wanted to do. I didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to Jisoo and Chaeyoung, i had wanted to watch them get married. Even the most recent thing of me making breakfast for Lisa, i didn't get to do that yet. I didn't get to prepare a meal for her to show her how much i appreciate the things she does for me. I didn't get my last goodmorning kiss and hug, being told that i was beautiful. I was being robbed of everything that mattered to me in a blink of an eye. And i couldn't do anything to stop it.

Lisa's POV

I rang Jennie's phone for the third time only to hear buzzing on the dining table as i walked out of the room. I had felt her leaving my side earlier but i didn't want to wake thinking that she was just going to the bathroom, but after a long period of time i woke up and noticed that she was gone.

"Where the heck is she?" I muttered starting to feel anxious knowing that i had no means of contacting her.

I walked to the kitchen and a handwritten note caught my eye.

'Went out to buy groceries. Be back soon, love.'

"Why on earth would she go buy groceries at the crack of dawn?"

I facepalmed myself and went back to her room to find a spare t-shirt to change into, i'd come back and shower later. What is with this girl that she would go to the mart early in the morning alone and then have to carry all the plastic bags herself?? Plus didn't she know how dangerous it was there could be gangsters in the streets for god's sake!

Rushing out of the house with the spare keys hung at the wall, i jogged to the nearby grocery store.

When i arrived, i searched down the aisles expecting to see a tiny human struggling to reach the uppermost shelves but there was none in sight. After a few more rounds circling the place and gaining lots of weird stares, i huffed at the counter. Now i was starting to get seriously worried. Could it be that she arrived home the moment i left? That wasn't possible, there was only one main route from her apartment to the store and i was sure she was smart enough to avoid the alleys. So where the hell was she?

"Excuse me. But have you witness an angel coming into the store awhile ago?" I asked the cashier.

"What?" She replied confused.

Aish what the fuck lisayah! Describe her like a normal person!

"I mean. Have you seen a young woman, brown hair, cat-like eyes, about this height coming to the grocery earlier??" I asked again impatiently.

"Oh.... actually yes, i did. The weird girl who was smiling to herself when paying, yeah she left moments ago." The cashier said shrugging.

Did this woman just call my baby weird? I contemplated if i should cause a commotion but i knew that this wasn't the right time.

"Alright thanks. And also, watch out next time." I warned and sprinted away to find my damn girl, leaving the cashier dumbfounded at the store.

I ran back towards the way i came from but i couldn't see Jennie anywhere in sight.

"Fuck Jennie where are you!?"

I halted into a stop as i saw what was ahead of me that i didn't notice before. Three plastic bags were strewn on the floor, packed full of household supplies and food. There were fruits spilled onto the floor and some squashed on the street.

My heartbeat increased rapidly as i bent down to pick up the bags. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

"JENNIE!"

I spun around on the spot whirling my head to capture any clues or trace of her disappearance.

As my heart howled in despair, i willed my tears to not spill as i dialled for Jisoo.

"Yah Lisayah! It's fricking 6:40am what in the name of jesus are you calling for?" Jisoo's sleepy voice answered on the second ring.

"Jisoo. Jennie- Jennie she- she's gone! I don't know where- somebody took her fuck!" I practically screamed into the phone.

"WHAT?!" Jisoo shouted now fully awake.

"Okay calm down. Have you called the cops yet?"

"No. You're the first person i called."

"Oh my God Lisa! Call the police!" Chaeyoung's voice sounded in the background. She must've stayed over at Jisoo's house, i didn't have time to wonder what they might have doing last night.

"Wait. Could it be Taehyung?" Jisoo asked quickly.

"What?"

Ofcourse. That fucking son of a gun! He must have took Jennie as revenge for me bashing him up at the party, why didn't i think of it?

"Shit what if its him? What do i do?!" I asked panicking.

"Okay, okay! Umm how about Mina?"

"Mina?"

"Taehyung's ex-girlfriend. The one who was having an affair with him. Maybe she might know where he is. She could help us."

Yeah right that wretched girl wouldn't even give a fuck. But i had no choice.

"Alright i'll try. Do you have her number or address?"

"Oh um.. no. But i know where she works, Jennie said she's seen her at the department store at Lotte."

"Okay im hanging up now, help me make a police report i'll go find Mina right away." I said and hung up.

I hailed a cab and sent him hurtling down to the destination promising to pay him double if he would step on the gas. Within minutes, i was bursting into the department store yelling for my kidnapper's ally.

"What is this commotion?"

A slim but perky young woman about the same age as Jennie walked out from the storage room.

"Where is Mina! Fucking get her now! Come out!" I shouted hoarsely.

The woman flinched but kept her stoic facade. "I am Mina. How can i help you?"

I stared at the woman standing infront of me judging my behaviour, wary but unafraid.

"You." I seethed, pointing a finger towards her.

"Where is your crazy boyfriend?! Where is that bastard Taehyung!?!"

Mina narrowed her eyes at me. "Why are you looking for him?"

I took in a deep breath and exhaled. This woman might be as much of a cheater as Taehyung but i believed that she was still humane and i had to believe that she would be willing to help us.

"Your psychotic boyfriend kidnapped Jennie. I have no idea where they are and have no means of contacting her. If you have any fucking clue where he might be, i beg you, please tell me. She could be in grave danger. I need your help."

Mina's eyes widened before answering.

"And what makes you think Taehyung would do such a thing?"

"Fuck! Just tell me where he is! We're running out of time i swear to God if you have even the least bit of decency in you, you'd help me rescue my fucking girl! At least prove to me you aren't just a whore who sleeps with someone who was attached!" I burst out.

As soon as i said that i recoiled. I knew that throwing a temper now probably wasn't the brightest thing to do but her lack of urgency and the idea that Taehyung could be doing something to hurt Jennie right now was killing me slowly.

Mina stared at me with an unreadable expression and the air hung with awful suspense.

"I am not just a whore. Call a cab, i'll take you to him."
