The distant music echoed outside the room. The awkward silence made everything worse as Loni's nerves couldn't contain themselves. Her foot was nearly going up and down due to how anxious she was.
Chanyu kept taking sips from his cup, and kept refilling it every time it was empty. Until, Chanyu finally disturbed the silence and made a move.
He got up and went to one of counters inside the room. He got out a shot cup and poured Loni some water. Loni tried to make contact, so her vision was only looked at her feet.
"Here, you look like you can't breathe." Chanyu offered Loni the glass of water.
"T-thanks." Loni took the glass and lightly sipped it.
The cold refreshing water entered as her face felt surprisingly refreshed from the cold water. Chanyu smoothly got up and sat right next to Loni making her choke on her water.
"You are quite interesting Loni. I see many girls envy you because of your attractiveness. Hell, they wouldn't even give me your name." Chanyu chuckled as he pulled out a cigar.
"Ha, I just got this job today and I guess it's starting off well." Loni tried to make the awkwardness go away.
Suddenly, Chanyu got up pulling Loni's wrist with him. The two traveled down the hallways into a mysterious corridor. Rows of doors with numbers were seen. Chanyu unlocked one door and entered inside.
One master bed with a huge window view. The room was filled with vases and many other opulent items. Suddenly, Loni started to see her vision start to blur. She then started to wobble around and toppled onto the bed.

Loni's eyes slowly started to open as she noticed she was chained to the bed. Her wrists were tied to the bed post while her feet were also tied.
"Now this is my kind of fun. I'm surprised the ice in the water tasted like nothing to you. It did have some sleeping powder in it." Chanyu started to tease Loni and began to stroke her hair.
"Why are you doing this? Let go of me." Loni said in a calm tone.
"Why I am doing this? Because you got me Loni. You got me with your attractiveness, your personality, you body." Chanyu looked up and down at Loni's body.
Slowly, Chanyu creeped onto Loni and gently kissed her. His lips touched her soft ones as it all started to become aggressive. Tears strolled down of the uncomfortableness Loni felt. It's like the smoke from his cigar entered into her mouth and made it difficult for her to breathe.
She barely knew this person and yet look where she is now.
Suddenly, the door broke down and in came Reo furious. Reo was so furious he knocked out Chanyu with one hit. Releasing Loni from her handcuffs and ties, Reo then covered Loni with his jacket.

The awkward silence was encountered again in the night car ride. Loni was grateful. Grateful that when Loni needed someone, Reo was there for her.
"Thank you for saving me." Loni said as it came out of the quiet.
"I don't understand why you wanted to work at a club like this. I could always pay for your mother's medical bills." Reo grabbed Loni's hand and held it tight.
"I just didn't want you to look down on me. I wanted to prove that I could work hard and get the things I want." Loni looked at her hand being comforted by Reo's.
The two got home and Reo carried Loni inside. She was so tired she fell asleep in the car while talking to Reo.
"Take her to her room." Reo instructed the maids.
