Aerum’s life has just being put in danger,by her best friend!! How cruel! What’s going to happen once she wakes up?? Indeed no one should be trusted.

<MR WON’S MANSION>
“This whole stuff doesn’t make sense to me,it doesn’t!!”Ji-hoon scoffed loudly after the lady explained that she was his mom.
“Why are you still confused? All I wanted was to set my eyes on you and….”
“The resemblance is not there,the birthday and month is different! The hospital I was birthed, everything is different so how do you expect me to believe this joke?”Ji-hoon uttered and the woman heaved.
“I knew this was gonna be hard! Like how would you believe this,I just came out of the blue telling you I was your mom. It’s okay not to believe it,but I hope I can see your parents and probably talk it out with them!”She replied and ji-hoon rolled eye.
“Seriously! Are you here to take me with you or….?”
“Once I talk it our with your foster parents….”
“Biological parents! And not foster!”Ji-hoon cut her off slowly and she nodded.
“Once I talk it out with them….”She was interrupted when ji-hoon phone began ringing.
“I have to take this!”he lifted the phone and she nodded softly.

Meanwhile,in Mr chin-hae hideout,after A-Yeong left with her mom and aerum was sure they where out of the environment,she flicked her eyes open and sprang up from the bed.
“Mr pervert!!”Aerum called and Mr chin-hae who had his back on her, waiting till she wakes up turned to her in shock,he had a stick of cigar in his hand.
“You’re awake?”He muttered in shock,his pupils dilating unbelievably.
“A good gamer right??”Aerum smirked and chin-hae immediately pulled out a gun from his pocket, aiming it at her forehead.
“And you think you’re leaving here alive today! What makes you think that?”He snorted angrily, while cussing himself inwardly for trusting A-Yeong. She stabbed him, right behind his back! f-__-k!!!
“I’ve always been the owner of the game Mr pervert! Now I understand why your daughter is such a pathetic ?îtçh! Yunno,like father like daughter!”Aerum said in sarcasm and his eye went wide in shock again.
Wasn’t she scared that he had a gun with him? What was giving her the nerves?!
He rushed to Aerum,then pushed her on the bed roughly, aerum lifted her knee, giving him a hard kick on the grion!
“Ahhh!!”He Yelp, grabbing Aerum’s hair roughly.
“What’s giving you the nerves? Why the hell aren’t you scared and come to think that you’re awake already! You should still be In a deep slumber idiota!!”He shouted angrily.
“You’re wrong here mister! Oh wait,you actually think that I’ll Yelp,cry and crawl to you? Begging for Mercy? That should be a nightmare cos it ain’t gonna happen cos we caught you in your own game!!”Aerum laughed and Mr chin-hae immediately tried $h00ting her,but she kicked the gun out of his hand then rolled down the bed.
“?îtçh!!!”He shouted, picking the gun from the floor and pulled the trigger,the bullet flew toward aerum but she quickly did a smart ducked and it met with the wall instead.
“Don’t pull the trigger again fool, else you’ll be loosing your daughter”Aerum laughed and Mr chin-hae looked at her, confused on what she was saying. His phone began ringing and he looked at Aerum who only smirked in return, gesturing at him to pick up the call.
📞”Arrrrgh!!!!”The voice boomed out from his phone speaker and recognizing it to be Seo-Jun’s voice,he clenched his fist tightly.
“What’s going on huh?”He fired angrily.

<FLASHBACK~WEEKS BACK>
“There’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you,if I don’t say it now I may never have the opportunity to”A-Yeong began and aerum looked at her.
“What’s that?”She asks and A-Yeong heaved before looking at beom-seok.
“If you don’t mind, I’ll love to have a word with her privately”A-Yeong said and beom-seok nodded immediately.
“Sure!!”He shrugged and A-Yeong smiled before pulling aerum with her.
They both walked into the garden and what took over was an awkward silence, which got aerum confused.
“Why aren’t you talking? You said you wanted to see me,so what’s happening?”Aerum uttered and A-Yeong looked at her, before sighing out tiredly.
How was she gonna start the discussion? That she was assigned to get her for him! How was she going to bring it up!
“Your silence is ki||ing and I’m scared at this….”
“I’m sorry!”A-Yeong blurted out and aerum looked at her,with a furrowed brow.
What was she sorry for?
“It started months ago,let’s say 10 months ago. Mom was really sick and when the test was conducted,it was discovered that she had a kidney disease and needed a surgery urgently. There wasn’t any one to help neither did I know what to do,I was really scared to earth and I thought I was going to lose mom!”A-Yeong began, already in tears. Aerum could do nothing other than watch her explain.
“After few weeks of the discovery,I went back to the hospital asking the doctor to go on with the surgery while I gather up the money but he refused, shattered and broken,I left his office but bumped into Mr chin-hae who recognized me to be your friend. He asked what happened and after I explained the whole issue to him,he volunteered to help in exchange that I’ll help him with something. Without thinking twice or asking him what I was to help him with,I agreed cos I only wanted mom to be safe. Little did I know he wanted me to get you for him! I’m really sorry aerum, for being a bad friend and I know I’ve broken your trust. I couldn’t just keep it to myself since he was bent on me getting you! It’s all my fault aerum,I shouldn’t have….”
“You talk to much A-Yeong!”Aerum cut her off and she looked up to look at Aerum in astonishment.
“You’re a true friend A-Yeong,you didn’t betray me and secondly you haven’t broken any trust cos you did nothing wrong. You where only worried about your mom, anyone in his or her right senses would have done same. All that matters is that you opened up to me, and I love you for that!”Aerum smiled and A-Yeong wiped her tears, while sniffing.
“He might try to hurt me or my mom if I fail to….”
“Don’t worry A-Yeong,we would come up with something okay?”Aerum patted her back softly, while A-Yeong hugged her.
“I’ll never hurt you aerum,I’ll leave in regret if I do!”She whimpered and aerum chuckled lowly.
•••••
<HOURS AGO>
“What’s wrong?”Aerum asks, Standing up from the bed.
“I…can you come with me?”A-Yeong requested hurriedly, breathing heavily.
She just have few hours to save her mom, else she’s doomed.
“What’s wrong?”Aerum insisted and A-Yeong bite her bottom lips hard, before sitting down then explained that Mr chin-hae was with her mom and all that. After the whole explanation,aerum heaved deeply while thinking of what to do.
“Yes! Beom-seok would be of help!”Aerum flicked her fingers.
“How?”A-Yeong asks and aerum smirked before explaining the plan to her.
“Woah!!”A-Yeong screamed and Aerum laughed before dialing beom-seok number,he picked on the first ring and after explaining the whole thing to him,he agreed willingly,the call ended afterwards.
“And there is something else. Mr chin-hae has a CCTV camera in all strategic places around his hideout and it’ll be great if we pretend that you had no idea of what was happening. The hanky I’ll cover your face with it’s a pure,but you’ll still have to put on an act,that way we won’t be suspected!”A-Yeong explained more further and Aerum nodded.
They needed to save A-Yeong mom and that was all that mattered!
•••••
Seo-Jun smiled for the umpteenth, gulping the third glass of wine.
She was sitting on her dressing chair, while looking at her reflection in the mirror,she couldn’t be less happy cos soon aerum was going to be wiped out, and the funniest thing…. her dad was going to f-__-k her! How cool! She thought and began laughing but squinted her brow when she saw beom-seok calling her,with a glint of happiness in her face and eyes,she picked up hurriedly. When was the last time Beom-seok called? It’s been months and he’s finally calling today? Gosh! Can today be less of a happy day? First aerum was going to be wiped off and secondly beom-seok is calling after how long??
📞”Let’s meet today babe! I really missed you!!”Beom-seok said when Seo-Jun picked up and she could swear,she felt a wave of happiness wash through her. Gawd!!
📞”You..you want to meet me?”She stuttered, playing with her hair.
📞”You don’t want to see me?”Beom-seok asks,a trace of sourness and sadness, could be found in his voice,it was obvious of a pretence but Seo-Jun couldn’t notice it cos she was bubbling happily.
📞”No! No! I missed you too,so you’ve finally let go of that ?îtçh?”
📞”It’s that really necessary? I need you to ride my Ç0ç?, gawd!….Mhmmmm!!”Beom-seok Mõ@?ed and that alone turned on Seo-Jun,she agreed immediately and beom-seok told her the address,after which the call was ended.
She just foolishly stepped into the trap!!
••••
<OUT OF FLASHBACK>
“What’s going on huh?”He fired angrily and Aerum could only smirk before sitting down on the bed, crossing her legs on each other.
“Concentrate on the call old pervert!!”Aerum taunted and Mr chin-hae folded his fist, without saying anything again he took his gaze back to the phone and Seo-Jun’s face came to view.
She was chained,just like Mr chin-hae chained A-Yeong mom earlier, and a bomb connected to her body,she was quivering while sweating madly.
“How do you feel, seeing your daughter in this condition?”Aerum asked him, playing with her hair while smiling. The mischievous smile she had on her face,burned Mr chin-hae and he could feel his whole body burning in rage.
“What do you wanna do with her?”He asked and Aerum nudged at him to concentrate back on the phone.
“Okay mister,we want nothing from you and your pathetic daughter,got that? We only want you to let aerum go, try any $h|t with her and your daughter is gone!!!!”He laughed and Mr chin-hae hardened his jaw.
If there’s anyone to contend with,then it’s A-Yeong. How dare she stab him behind?? She’s going to pay,no matter what. He may release aerum now,for the safety of his daughter,but she(aerum and her friend) A-Yeong will never escape from his wrath. Their names has been bolding inscribed in the devil’s book of ki||ing, and he’s not gonna spare them. For the humiliation and the betrayal,their definitely going to have a taste of their own medicine.
Looking at Aerum, and then at Seo-Jun who was crying bitterly for his help,he heaved and pressed a button,the door opened automatically and aerum gave him her middle finger before storming out.
