Her vision became blurry but she still tries to stand up, but U-ram caught her and pinned her against the ground and looked at her condition, he felt pity for her but she deserved this after all.
He then remembered the story, where the mean girl, Mi-Ok rubbed a sharp pointed stone against her black patches, he felt that he need to do the same.
So, that she realizes her doings, he grabbed the scalpel from her hand and he used the scalpel to graze it against her black patches slowly, she felt pain.
She cried in pain, struggling to get out of his grip, she felt déjà vu, when Mi-Ok was the one who hurt and injured her the most, at that time, she felt less pain than she felt now, the blood oozing out from his cuts, then he stopped suddenly.
She used this opportunity to distract him and escape, but he tightens his grip and placed his hand against her mouth as he looked forward, U-ram recognized the two figures standing far from them, coming towards them, then Saeng felt her vision blurred, and suddenly she went unconscious.
U-ram took her in his arms and hurried to an abandoned store present there, he hid from them, and they arrived in front of the building and hurried inside the building.
After they went inside, U-ram carrying Saeng in his arms, started running fast, to somewhere away from them, they walked upstairs and found the door broken and Saeng is gone, there were blood drops on the floor, the belt was loosened, the drawer of the study table was open.
They were now more anxious as they were wolf marks upon the door, they walked downstairs and looked everywhere.
They found another door, which was broken, they entered, it was filled with dust, and waste items, but most importantly, they saw the way through which Saeng may have escaped.
They went outside, and looked around that area, observing keenly upon the road, then Mi-Ok found a scalpel, which was covered with dried blood drops, they knew that Saeng was in danger, so they hurried and ran until they reach the streets in hope that they may find both of them.
Here, Saeng was unconsciously being carried into the house, which was her own house but no one knew as he came through her broken window.
He grabbed a belt out of her closet and tied it to her bed and also tied her legs with a metal chain, U-ram smirked and speaks, " You deserved this, for breaking my heart, for breaking my hopes, for being born like this.
I am glad you didn't accept my love, otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten myself the sweetest woman, who has emotions, who knows how to handle hearts, who knows not to crush hopes, unlike you.
I think Si-U is also in the same state as I was in my childhood, he doesn't love you, he just thinks you are some kind of prize or obsession, and that's all.
You will pay for this. But before that, I need to figure out how to make things normal as before, because you ruined it so well, which you only are capable of doing".
He covered the window area by taking out the window panes and fitting a heavy metal box in it. Then locked her room and took out some drinks from the refrigerator and some snacks from her kitchen cupboard and ate hungrily.
Then he rested himself by laying on the sofa.
On the other side, Si-U and Mi-Ok are searching for both of them, they were searching endlessly, everywhere and both of them were tired but they didn't stop as they were both worried for the Saeng and U-ram too.
Mi-Ok then felt senses like the feeling of someone around them quite close, she informs her brother to be alert as they might have to face a creature.
They cautiously took steps forward one by one, then ultimately saw an elephant sleeping under a car, which was car no anymore as the elephant was humongous in size.
The elephant looked peacefully asleep, they went near that elephant, they observed that human boots were placed under his big foot, and they also noticed a spectacle upon the eyes.
Mi-Ok was awed at the sight as it looked somehow cute. Si-U just smiled and felt something inside changing, which made his gaze filled with adoration for the elephant, which he never felt for animals before.
Then they continued searching for them, they then thought of also checking upon Saeng's flat, so they fastened their pace to Saeng's home.
In Saeng's flat, she wakes up, feels trapped again, and then she looks around her clearly and realizes that she is trapped inside her room.
Her legs are tied and she is pinned against the bed by the belt, she tries to wriggle out of the belt.
While trying, she again felt her legs shaking and her body feeling weak, she feels her vision turn black for a few seconds again.
She felt pain on her face as something was burning her skin, she felt something trickling down her skin, she can't even raise her hands to check herself, she felt vulnerable and lonely at that time.
She felt scared same as that moment when her best friend who was mean in her childhood time, hurt her by trying to damage the black patches surrounding her eye area.
She speaks in a scared tone, "At that time, my parents, both stood for me and I remember everything that they said.
But until now, I didn't know what they were trying to express all these years, and I realized now that they were expressing their fondness or maybe love or affection towards me.
They gave me a rabbit plush, to which I am habituated till now.
That rabbit always helped me feel that we all are the same and that I don't need to be afraid as he and my parents were there for me.
But right now, I have none of them by my side because I maintained a distance from them.
I am alone but I will fight to defend myself.
U-ram needs to come to his senses but how. For that, I need to free myself ".
She tried, again and again, many times, but nothing happened, she felt her pain worsen, she felt like crying, and she gave in to sobbing softly, then she heard some noise afterward, so, she became silent.
She looked at the door but that sound was heard again from the wall beside her, she felt hopeful that maybe she can help herself escape from this.
She shouted in a loud tone for help, maybe they can hear her words, then the door opened, and U-ram came in.
He looked angry but more in control, he walked towards her and warned her, " Saeng, do not shout as no one is going to be able to come here for you and another thing, I need to find my sweet Mi-Ok.
She might be worried for me, she may be searching for us in the streets without taking any rest, it pains me to hurt her but you are the cause of it".
Saeng tells him," You are behaving like some typical villain.
You were never like this, you know better than me to handle your emotions after all I was emotionless.
You love Mi-Ok because she is just like the person you needed in your life and not me ".
