I was about to be tortured and something was wrong with the system that had guided me until now, it wasn't a coincidence that this came with the strange dream that I had.
I could only recall waking up feeling more frightened than when I am now so whatever it was, it gave me chills.
But I no longer had control of my host, it was strange that this was happening as it was labelled a malfunction, was it possible to be hacked?
I didn't even know enough about what was going on to make this deduction.
"Minsuk?" Jigsaw immediately muttered, the look in my eyes had changed and a smirk creased my face.
"You fuckers are dead," These words came out of my mouth but it wasn't me talking and before I knew it, the ropes that bound me came loose.
"Lin! Get away fr-!" Jigsaw tried to warn the Chinese man beside me but before he could complete his sentence, my hand crashed right into his jaw, sending him skidding a couple of meters back.
Slowly but majestically, I stood like a warrior about to take on an army but Jigsaw didn't look scared however the calm look in his eyes had vanished.
Minsuk focused his attention on Lin, who tried to pull a gun on him but Minsuk appeared right in front of him, and ducked down, effectively making the gun ineffective as it wasn't aligned with his head.
And before Lin could redirect his aim, Minsuk grabbed his face and slammed him right into the ground, disarming him in the process.
Jigsaw just stood there with the remaining two people looking terrified, I was watching this like a movie but every emotion ran through me.
This was pure undiluted evil, whoever was helping me right now, I knew instantly that I couldn't let him have this much control of my body.
Lin laid unconscious on the ground due to the impact to the back of his skull and I thought that that was where it would end but I was wrong.
Minsuk began to pummel his face, slamming his hand right into Lin's face until his face slowly became disfigured.
This was gruesome and I was shocked that Jigsaw wasn't stepping in to stop me.
He just watched, like this was confirmation of what he suspected.
I might have taken over his body but his consciousness still existed, I was realizing it now.
This was Minsuk, the man that had gained the respect of hardcore criminals and I was beginning to see why.
Lin was beaten close to death as Minsuk got to his feet and walked towards Jigsaw.
Jigsaw stood there and for the first time, I saw him smile.
"I am glad I was mistaken," Jigsaw responded but I was scared out of my mind because I realized just how scary this Minsuk was.
"Next time, put a bullet in my brain because if you try it again, I will kill you and everyone you love," Minsuk threatened. I knew this wasn't an empty threat but what came next sent chills down my spine.
"Oh wait, I already did," Minsuk laughed it off and Jigsaw's facial expression changed, I could tell he was angry but he couldn't act on his anger.
And just then, I got control back of my body but I knew at that moment, Minsuk was a person better off dead and this only made me want to complete my revenge so I can get the fuck out of this body.
"I will be going, don't waste my time again," I managed to blurt out but my fist hurt like hell and my heart beating so fast, I thought that I would have a panic attack at any moment.
But it was over and I needed to get out of here as soon as possible and my escape presented itself.
I left the area as soon as I could but I didn't head home but rather, to the hospital to see Yumi.
-
It took me a little over forty-five minutes to get there, I was surprised by how far it was that I found myself dozing off in the cab I was in.
It was easier to move in this because it attracted less attention but I realized the person that scared me the most was in this body, it was 'myself'.
I reached the hospital in little to no time, I realized that it was as busy as ever but the attention I got was to be expected, my face was slightly bruised from the blow but that wasn't anything serious.
A nurse came to my side and made sure I was okay even though there were more people in far dire condition than me yet she rushed to my side.
I knew the reason why and it was becoming pathetic at this point but at least she could be useful to me in the long run.
"Do you need some help, sir?" She questioned and I heard people murmur, wondering if I was some sort of celebrity.
Then it made more sense why the nurse rushed to me, high profile individuals tend to enjoy certain benefits that others didn't.
"No, I came looking for someone…" I responded and she immediately arched a brow.
"Someone? Who might that be?" The nurse asked and I responded.
"My girlfriend," This would not only make her back off but she would understand that it was family hence permitting me to see her.
The nurse looked over at the receptionist before gesturing for me to follow her as we went to the desk and that was where I got all the information I needed.
Yumi had woken up but she was still recuperating so that meant they hadn't discharged her yet.
I planned to cover whatever expenses would follow this but I was well aware that these things weren't cheap.
I walked right into the room and Yumi tightened up the moment she saw me but relaxed almost immediately.
"How're you, Yumi?" I started gently, knowing that she was still jumpy from the incident.
"Minsuk… How did you know I was here?" Yumi questioned suspiciously, aware that I might have had a hand in this.
"I'm the one that called the ambulance, I saw a strange person take you," I was honest as there was no use in lying about it.
And being honest did me more good either way as it would allow her to lower her guard.
"I see…" That was all she said, she looked distant like her thoughts drifted mid-sentence.
"I know you… You're Minsuk. What are you doing here?" Yumi questioned and at that moment, I realized that she must have suffered some damage to her brain but before I could press on, a boy walked in.
"Who are you and why are you with my sister?" He asked but before I could even bother with a response.
Yumi's eyes lit up as she muttered.
"Sang-woo…"
