"Oh, I found ya."

A male voice began to break the silence around Hyun Ae. Her breathing trembled because of the familiar voice.

She turned in the direction of the voice, and her body shook as she saw a male figure wearing a black hooded jacket, leaning against the wall, and she immediately recognized him.

The mysterious guy then began to pull back his hood and flashed a smile at her.

"Hi, sweetheart. Miss me?"

"Y-Y-You?" Hyun Ae nervously muttered, still frozen on her spot. "How did you find me-"

She was cut off when that guy pulled out a white card from his jacket pocket and showed it to her. Just with one look, she recognized the card as her business card.

"Where did you get that?!" Hyun Ae asked, taking a few steps backward when the guy began to stand up straight.

"A few months ago, we bumped into each other, remember?" he said, running his hand through his hair before he continued. "Something fell out from your bag, so I picked it up. But who cares about that? I got to meet you at the end. I'm lucky."

He then began to approach Hyun Ae with a smile that somehow crept her.

And at this moment, she knew.

That she had to run. But she was a bit late.

"No!" she shrieked, as the guy grabbed both of her arms. She tried to yank her arms away, but the struggle was useless.

"Where do you think you're going, huh?!" the guy whispered into her ear as he swung his right arm around her neck as stood behind her, dragging her backward with full force. "Did you forget what you did to me?!"

"Let me go! Adrian, please! It wasn't my fault!" she cried out before his left hand went to her mouth, covering it forcefully. She tried to free herself from his tight grip, but the more she moved around, the tighter his grips were.

"Hm... I miss the smell of your body, sweetheart. My favorite scent ever," the guy moaned as he touched the nape of her neck with his nose, inhaling the exposed skin hard, sending chills through her spine.

The guy began to drag her towards the nearest alley as she continued to make noises as loud as she could, calling for help with her muffled screams.

Hitting his arms, and kicking backward on his legs were just useless efforts, and it only drained her energy more.

As Hyun Ae realized that she was entering another quiet alley, her legs went weak when she was thrown toward a pile of discarded cardboard. She quickly sat up but was pushed back down as the guy came down on her and placed his knees beside both of her legs, trapping her underneath him.

"Adrian, please! Don't do this to me!" Hyun Ae pleaded, trying to push him away from her but then he pinned her wrists down, both above her head. Once again, she tried to fight back, but she couldn't. Tears had been blurring her sight, and they rolled down her face along with her hopes to be saved by anyone.

"You drive me mad, girl. You always drive me mad," the guy spoke, flashing another creepy smile along with his creepy laughter. "Though you ruined my dream, I still love you, Park Hyun Ae. Love you till the end of my life. You know how much I love you."

Hyun Ae took in a sharp, staggering breath as she began to shriek when she felt his dry lips on her neck. With all the energy she had mustered up, she lifted one knee up and it hit his stomach area, making him go berserk.

"How dare you!" he irate. The hands that were once holding her wrists down were now around her neck.

Hyun Ae began to cough heavily, gasping for air as his fingers got tighter and tighter around her neck. Her hands grabbed his muscular arms, slapping them repeatedly with hopes that he would let her go, though she knew that was impossible.

"I've always wanted to do this to you, I'm loving your face now," he muttered under his shaky breath, licking his lips as he re-positioned himself on her, now his knees were right beside her waist. "This time, no one will stop me. Even Henry."

The grip on her neck began to tighten again. At this moment, when Hyun Ae tried to free herself, her energy began to deplete drastically. Only tears were her companion at that time, and she could only silently pray for any miracles to happen to her. Or death will come to her. She closed her eyes, shutting them tightly as she whispered to herself

Someone... help me!!!

Suddenly, the grip loosened and Hyun Ae sharply inhaled as much of the air as she could and immediately covered her face with her arms and went into defense mode, sobbing heavily.

"Jungkook ah," Jin called out as he tapped the maknae's shoulder as they stood outside of the agency's building.

Jungkook turned his head back at Jin with a concerned look.

"Are you alright? You don't seem to be okay, ever since your recording session," the elder asked.

"Seokjin hyung, I'm going to see Hyun noona first. The rest of you should go home now," Jungkook said as his breath staggered, clenching his bag's strap tightly as he began to walk away.

"Wait!" Jin called out, grabbing the young one's arm, and stopping him in his track. "What is it? Tell me."

"Hyung, I've been having this bad feeling about Hyun noona. I am so worried right now. Please, let me see her. Just get the others home first. I might be staying with Hyun noona tonight."

"I'll come," Yoongi suddenly appeared behind them, sending confusion to them as they watched him approaching and standing next to Jungkook. "I'll go with him, Jin hyung. I'll inform you if there's anything."

Despite being bewildered about Yoongi's behavior, Jin nodded and patted Yoongi's shoulder reassuringly. "Be careful, both of you. We'll go home first."

"Quick, Yoongi hyung!" Jungkook said, grabbing Yoongi's arm as he pulled the older one to the road that was climbing up the hill, towards Hyun Ae's café.

"Chill, JK," Yoongi said, placing his hand behind Jungkook as they walked up the road and turned to the right. When they saw the next junction where they had to turn left, Yoongi glanced at the maknae and noticed the nervous look on his face.

"We'll be there in a few minutes, you know that. Calm down."

"No, I can't. There's something swirling in my stomach every time I think about her. And I knew that something bad might happened to her-"

Suddenly they heard a scream.

Eyes widened and with no other words, both of them ran towards the shop as quickly as they could, only to find the shutter was halfway pulled down.

They looked around and saw a left pair of sandals on the road, and as they approached it, they saw another pair at a distance in front of them, along with a familiar sling bag.

They quickly made a run to it and heard another shriek. That was when they took a turn into another alley and saw a guy choking Hyun Ae on the piles of cardboard.

No other seconds wasted, Yoongi immediately dashed towards the mysterious guy, grabbed his jacket from behind, and pulled him away as hard as he could, tossing the guy against the opposite wall.

Jungkook immediately approached Hyun Ae, who was sobbing heavily with her arms covering her head in defense. He crouched down beside her and tried to pull down her skirt to cover her exposed thighs.

"Don't touch me! Go away!!! Go away-"

"Hyun noona! It's me, Kookie. It's okay now, you're safe," Jungkook whispered to her as he grabbed her arms.

Hearing his voice, Hyun Ae finally opened her eyes and immediately sat up, hugging him tightly as the feeling of gladness washed over her, along with her cries. He patted her back before taking off his padded jacket and putting it over her shoulders, continuing to hug her, trying to calm her down.

"What are you doing?!" Yoongi screamed as he grabbed the guy's jacket, pinning him against the wall. The guy then let out a maniac laugh, before tilting his head towards Hyun Ae.

"She's indeed beautiful, isn't it?" the guy muttered, along with his creepy smile. "She's still the same. I want her body only for me. No one can own her other than me!"

Hyun Ae began to tighten her grip on Jungkook as fear came to her again. Jungkook stared at the mysterious guy with his eyes that were full of hatred.

He held Hyun Ae closer to him as he tried to hold in the urge to hit the guy.

But then suddenly a fist came in contact with the guy's cheek.

And even after every punch Yoongi had landed on his cheeks, he could still laugh with blood spilling out his mouth and nose. The more Yoongi hit him, the louder his creepy laughter was heard. And this really had ticked Yoongi's nerves.

He was about to land another punch, but a voice stop him.

"Stop!!!" Hyun Ae cried out, quickly stood up, and ran up to Yoongi as he raised his wounded fist in the air, taking this moment to hug the furious guy as she pushed him away from the maniac.

"Yoongi oppa, please stop," she whispered against his neck, trembling and crying as she tightened her arms around his shaking body.

"No! I WANT TO KILL HIM!" Yoongi shouted at the guy, and even tried to advance forward but she stopped him again.

"But I don't want you to be a killer! Stop!!!"

As he heard her plead, he let out a sigh as he fell backward, leaning against the brick wall, and slid down to the ground, along with Hyun Ae as he wrapped her in his arms.

"Please... stop. Please," she cried softly, still burying her face into his neck, her entire body clearly shaking.

Yoongi tilted his head against her, then stole a glance at her exposed neck.

Handprints and clear bruises marked her skin mercilessly. He then lifted a part of Jungkook's jacket on her shoulders and looked at her arms. There were small cuts and bruises on both of her arms, showing how she had struggled to save her life alone.

He realized that if they were a second late, something terrible might have happened to her.

He softly brushed his fingertips against the marks as he whispered into her ear, "you're okay?"

She responded with nods as she pulled herself away from him, rubbing her teary eyes with her hands like a little kid, making Yoongi feel soft and it made him pull her into another protective hug.

And he was unaware when the maniac guy suddenly grabbed a brick nearby and stood up, immediately rushing towards Yoongi with it.

"WATCH OUT!"
