Y/N.....Y/N.....Y/N

"Y/N, Rose, where are you, my daughters? Don't worry, Appa will help you come out of this," said Mr. Park, who was looking for his daughters, who were struck in their homes after the first wave of tsunami came to Busan. The metrology department had issued a warning of a tsunami coming to the Busan area of Korea. Though the department had given the warning for a week, the tsunami just came two days early, and the people of Busan were not ready to face this severe tsunami. Both Y/N and her elder sister Rose were struck in their home, as it was difficult for them to leave. Their father, Mr. Park, who is a rescue officer, helped them out and put them in a safer place. He also needed to rescue other people in that building. Y/N pleaded her father not to go and stay with them, but Mr. Park had to leave them there. While Y/N and Rose were standing there watching their father leave, Both the sisters were terrified. Their father entered the building, rescuing people. Suddenly, the greater wave of the tsunami came and took everything with it, people drowned, houses were submerged, rescue boats were wrecked, everything was a mess.

Y/N POV:

I was feeling pain in my whole body. I couldn't move my body; it was too heavy. Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice calling my name and praying to God for me. I tried to open my eyes; even my eyes were feeling too heavy.

"Unnie." After opening my eyes and adjusting my vision, I saw my sister Rose there, holding my hand and crying.

"Y/N, you finally opened my eyes. Thank God. Thanks to God a million times"

I saw Rose crying while thanking God for saving me; she was in a terrible state. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. I tried to get up but failed. Rose put her hand on my shoulder and told me not to get up, but I refused, and her eyes once again filled with tears and suddenly, my eyes fell on my legs; my right leg was swollen and was covered with bruises and my left leg was covered with plaster. I was taken aback by my situation. I couldn't recall what happened; all I remember was that my father entered the building to rescue the people.

I looked at Rose, and she was already crying, seeing me in this devastated situation. Looking at her crying like this, I wanted to stay strong, but it was too much to take, and I couldn't hold my tears back. Rose hugged me and told me to stay strong. I hugged her back and calmed myself.

"Don't worry, Unnie, I will be fine in a few days; I just need to rest." With an assuring smile, I hugged Rose and laid back. The doctor told me not to be in this position as it may affect the healing process.

Looking at the top of the camp, I remembered the moment when my father hugged us and entered the building to rescue people, and a sudden pain occurred in my chest while I remembered the back figure of my father. I called Rose, who was startled at how, out of the blue, I called her. She came to me, holding my hand and caressing my forehead. "What happened, Y/N? Why are you crying? Don't worry; I am here. Don't worry, don't worry Appa will be here soon. He has gone for a rescue operation; he will be back soon." Listening to Rose, I felt calm and thought of Appa. When will he be back? I hope he is alright. I hope he is not injured. I just don't know why my heart is in so much pain. Not only that, but I just wish he were back Sooner.

ROSE POV:

Y/N was unconscious for three days, and doctors have advised her not to go through any stress. Her body is already under so much stress that I should not let her know that Appa has died while rescuing people. She doesn't seem to remember much about how we were drowned in water, and the rescue team fortunately rescued us; otherwise, we would have been dead. Now she just needs to heal, and we will start our lives afresh, but I hope her leg will be fine. Doctors said she might limp because the injury was severe, and they didn't have many tools to help her. But I know she is strong; she won't let this become her drawback; she will fight, and I will support her at my best.

For now, I told her Appa would be back in a few days, but soon she will learn it was a lie. I hope I can handle her then. I remember I haven't entered our names yet. The officers said we had to.

While walking to the counter, I was feeling dizzy. Maybe it was because I hadn't taken full rest. Suddenly, I felt something hit my head, and I blacked out.

Y/N POV:

I was told that my injuries couldn't be treated here in this rescue camp, so they had to move me to Seoul. I asked them if Rose agreed, and they said she also needs treatment as she is too weak to even stand up. Likewise, I agreed, as I knew Rose was too worn out after taking care of me for so many days. It was better if we could start our lives there, and when Appa will be back we will settle in Seoul and start our lives here. It was also Rose's dream to come to Seoul; her dream came true, but I think it cost a lot.

They took me to the ambulance and I remember my body was in pain, and they injected a painkiller into my body, and the last thing I remember was passing out and drifting into sleep.

"HEY, HEY, WAKE UP."I heard someone saying something and felt someone poking my side with an elbow. It was giving me pain. I opened my eyes slowly and found myself on the floor of some shabby room. It was covered with dust; the room was filled with dust, and some worn-out furniture stalked on one another. I scanned the room and saw some girls whose hands were tied with rope and their mouths were covered with thick cloth. Once I saw my surroundings, I realized I was in the same position; my hands were tied together and my mouth was stuffed with thick cloth. I was frightened. "Where am I? What happened? They said they would take me to the hospital. What am I doing here?"

While I was drifting through my thoughts, someone slammed the door open and I saw two men entering the room, sending shivers to everyone. The room was filled with some terror; it was terrifying.

I stood there without doing anything. I knew I was too weak and would not be able to fight them, so I had to wait and look for their next move. I was confident that they kidnapped us, and at worst, they might be the organ thieves; otherwise, there was no reason for them to kidnap a limp like me. Not only that, but I accepted my fate as there was nothing left now, and Rose was also not here, so I assume that she is safe.

The girl next to me was poking me with her elbow earlier; her mouth cloth was loose, and she spoke, "Please let me go. I need to go back. I have a one-year-old baby waiting for me; I need to go."She was crying and trying to free herself from the rope. One of the men walked towards her and kneeled down, coming to her level. He looked at her and said, "I don't know who brought you here, but we don't have any business with married or non-virgin girls; our business is all about virgins." With that, he put his right hand in his pocket and took something out; it was THE GUN. He pointed the gun at her forehead and shot her.

Everyone in the room got frightened; fear was visible on their faces.

The man got up and looked at everyone and said, "If you do not obey me or try to run away at any point after this, you will meet the same destiny."

The days passed; they came every day, treated everybody's wounds, and gave balanced diet to eat. They were trying to maintain our weights. After a week, they again came, but this time they came with the dresses. They made us wear the dresses of their choice and put a blindfold on everyone. My leg was healed, and they took care of me even better than others. They moved us somewhere; it was hard to guess, and no one tried to resist, as they frequently reminded us of the incident, how they killed that woman without any hesitation.

After reaching somewhere, I heard someone announce something as if it were an auction. But I couldn't understand what was happening, but what happened next terrified me even more. They were auctioning the girls. They were selling the girls. Now everything made sense, why they fed us that diet and why they treated our wounds. The feeling was too much to take; it was terrifying. I was lost in these thoughts when I heard a familiar voice coming from the stage. The girl was pleading with them to leave her and let her go. When I recognized the voice, I ran towards the stage immediately.

"Stop, stop all of this, leave my Unnie. Let her go."

The man guarding the stage entrance tried to stop me, but before he could, I had reached the stage. I looked at Rose and hugged her. I had never thought that she would be caught in the same situation as I was. When I held her in my arms, she cried non-stop. The audience started shouting, Let us bid; we haven't got our hands on the countryside girls for long"

"Her figure is too perfect"

"Move them, we are not here for the melodrama"

Everyone was screaming; the auction was a mess, and everyone seemed angry. The guards came running to the stage and tried to keep us apart, but we both were resisting, holding on to each other. I bit one guard's hand and kicked the other one in the balls while signaling Rose to run.

She understood what I was trying to do, and she ran off. The guards held me, and the man who was handling the auction came to me and slapped me on the face, making me fall to the floor. While I was in pain, he ignored me and continued on the mic. "As you can see, we have an untamed one here, and I know everyone here would want to tame her in their way, so I will bid a little higher here. What about starting with a million? I was too stunned at how he handled things. Tears were streaming down my eyes, and I saw one man, almost in his 60s, get up from his chair and say,"50 million." Everyone in the room was too stunned to speak, and so was I. He walked towards the stage and came closer to me. I couldn't do anything as the guards were still holding me.

"I don't want to take her with me, but since she ruined the mood here, I just wanted to tame her a little." He said in the mic. Everyone was happy and shouting. He came closer and took my jacket off, revealing the t-shirt under it. He put his hands on my waist, pulled the shirt up, and took it off.

"I'm naked"

" what will he do next"

He started to open my pants when someone in the audiance shouted

"1 BILLION."

"1 BILLION."

Everyone in there was taken aback by what he had to offer. The man on the stage left Y/N and talked to him. "I thought Mr. KIM TAEHYUNG was not interested in this stuff." With a mocking smile plastered on his face while looking at Y/N, who was holding her hands near her chest to hide her body, Taehyung got up from his seat and walked calmly towards the stage. His expression said it all: He was not afraid of anything or anyone. It was as if he owned everything; there was an unusual silence in the crowd.

Taehyung got on the stage and walked towards Y/N; she was still trembling. He picked up her jacket from the floor and placed it on her shoulders. Y/N's eyes widened at Taehyung's action. Taehyung looked her in the eyes. Y/N was still in a state of shock. Y/N was trembling from what she had faced a while ago and how she was about to get humiliated in front of everyone.

"Why would I waste my time here if I was not interested in this stuff?" Said Taehyung while adjusting her jacket.

He once again looked into her eyes and looked at the organizer. "Want me to pay here or there are some procedures?"

The organizer showed him the way, but Taehyung grabbed Y/N's hands and left while signaling his manager to go with the organizer.

Y/N POV:

Y/N was still in a daze, whether she was saved or bought. The way Taehyung put her jacket on her, she wanted to say that she was saved but thinking about the price he paid was not a joke.

Since they left, Taehyung had not spoken a word, nor had he looked at her. They were both sitting on the back seat while Y/N was still processing the situation and Taehyung was just looking out of the window. Y/N didn't dare to lift her head, and suddenly the car stopped. Taehyung got out of the car without looking at her and went into his mansion. His assistant opened the window from Y/N's side and let Y/N out. Y/N's eyes fell on the huge mansion before her. His assistant showed her the way, but that way did not lead her into the mansion but somewhere behind the mansion. Y/N was in no place to ask any questions because she was already instructed by her seller that at any point of this work, she could not do anything that would upset her buyer. While she was following him from behind, the assistant opened a little gate and asked Y/N to get in. Y/N looked at him with a confused look.

"The door is small, but the room is large enough for you." said the assistant

Y/n walked into the room and was taken aback at the sight, almost making her vomit.

Taehyung entered the mansion and saw his friends. The discomfort in his eyes was visible, as if he didn't want them there, not at that time.

Jimin: "Hey Tae, it has been days since we last saw you. Where have you been? You didn't even come to the party last night; everyone was looking for you."

Before Taehyung could answer, Jungkook interrupted.

Jungkook said, "He must have been busy; we shouldn't meddle into his personal matters; after all, it's not easy for the greatest businessman to be available at every place," winking at Taehyung.

Taehyung felt some relief, sat on the sofa, and started chatting with his friends.

While they were chit-chatting, Taehyung's secretary came in and whispered a few words in his ear. Taehyung seemed a bit irritated. Jungkook noticed this behavior as Taehyung was loosening his tie. Jungkook spoke

"Tae tomorrow is Sara's birthday; Jin told us to inform you about it; you know he wants to celebrate his girlfriend's birthday lavishly."

Taehyung didn't say anything; he was just staring at Jungkook. Jungkook got up from his seat and told Jimin that they should leave.

Both Jimin and Jungkook sat in Jungkook's car. Jimin seemed at bit off and asked Jungkook, "Don't you feel Tae is changed? He is not what he used to be; he is not who I knew; somehow he has changed. Do you think I should ask him?"

Before answering, Jungkook took a deep breath and forced a simile on his face: "Hyung, I think you are overthinking; he has been under lots of pressure; maybe it is just the exhaustion."

With that, Jungkook drove his car, and Jimin looked out the window, remembering Taehyung how he remembered.

After a long silence, Jimin said, His eyes seem to be of the devil and not of a person.

Jungkook didn't reply, and Jimin once again looked out of the window.

Taehyung was sitting on the sofa when he saw his secretary come once again, and before he could say anything, Taehyung got up and went out the mansion towards the door where Y/N was.

He unlocked the door and saw Y/N unconscious. Taehyung looked at the secretary and said, "How much time does it take to gain consciousness, Jackson?"

Jackson looked a bit uneasy and answered, Just a few minutes, sir.

After some time, Y/N opened her eyes, and to her surprise, she once again found herself tied to the chair. She adjusted her vision and looked at Taehyung, who was already glaring at her.

Shivers ran through Y/N's body the way Taehyung was glaring at her; she knew something was not right.

Tears started flowing down her eyes as if pleading Taehyung to let her go. But Taehyung had different plans; he reached his hands towards Jackson, who handed him the remote. Taehyung took a remote, looked at it, passed a smirk towards Y/N, and pushed the button.

The floor where Y/N was tied to the chair opened, and the chair fell down. Soon, Y/N found herself struggling in the water; she was not ready for it. The water kept entering her lungs, making it difficult for her to breathe. She kept struggling, and after sometimes she found herself on the floor, still tied to the chair, coughing the water out. Taehyung repeated the process several times. He was doing it intentionally. When he was satisfied, he got up from his seat and walked towards Y/N, who was still coughing the water out. Taehyung grabbed her hair and told her not to make him angry, and if she ever tried to run away, he would be harsher. Jackson was there the whole time; his face looked pale, and when Taehyung noticed his face, he went straight up to him and said," I know you have a phobia; I'm doing this so that you will get over it." Laughing like a maniac at Jackson's face, Taehyung walked towards the door but stopped halfway and turned back towards Jackson, who was still pale and looking at Y/N.

"If you ever tried to help her by any means, do you know what I can do? HALF BROTHER"

Jackson didn't look at Taehyung but nodded in response. Taehyung went back to Y/N and kicked harshly in her stomach making her scream in pain,which made Jackson flinch.

Taehyng lips curved in satisfaction seeing both of them. He whispered in Jackson's ear do you remember something?. With that Taehyung left the room and Jackson looked at Y/N who was still in pain. When Y/N looked at him he just mouthed sorry and left the room leaving Y/N on ground in pain.
