She left me on the dining area where Jimin was already seated on one of the chairs, waiting for me. I averted my gaze from him and slowly sat down across him. We started eating quietly and I was glad for that since I didn't want to talk anyway. The only noise that was made was from the utensils while eating.

When I was done, I drank in my glass and gulped all the water down. I stood up from my seat not bothering to glance at Jimin. I was about to leave when he spoke. "Stay," I stiffened on my spot, unable to think what I should do. "Stay if you don't want me to make you to." I clenched my fist and sat down once again.

He sighed, wiping his lips with the napkin present on the table. He then placed it down gently in front of him before staring back at me. "We're leaving for another place again, tomorrow." He started but I just stared at him, lips pursed.

"I'm saying this because I want you to know that I won't be tying you up the whole trip so you better behave." I cocked my brow at him, amused by what he said. He smirked, is this a way of getting to me? "I want you to know that you're not here as a captive, Saeron so please just loosen up a bit. If you just try to cooperate with me then I'll be ready to let you go." He finished and by that I knew he wants something.

"What do you want, Jimin?" I asked, anger starting to rise up again. It was his turn to raise a brow at me. "I'm not going to tell you that until you agree to cooperate with me, princess." I scoffed, does he really think I'll do that?

"What makes you think I'll agree on something I don't even know? And please, don't expect cooperation from me, I'm definitely not willing to give it to you." I told him with a determined look. He smiled and that bothered me.

"What makes me think you'll agree? Hmm, Let's see," He leaned on the table, fingers lightly brushing his lower lip as he pretended to think deeply. "Because it's your only way of getting back home." He said in a serious expression.

"Only way? I'm sure my dad and boyfriend are trying to find me already. Don't be so confident in your plan." I rested my back on the chair, my brows furrowing as he let out a laugh.

"Trying to find you, huh? Your dad, yes he is looking for you," He grinned at me before leaning back on his chair as well. "But your 'boyfriend'? I don't think so, princess." I glared at him. How dare he say that?

"Yes he is looking for me! You'll end up in a jail once they both find me here." My hands trembled as I clench them again. Jimin's grin never left his face and it only made me angrier.

"How are you so sure? He's probably given up on finding you and just hooked up with other girls, or maybe with his ex girlfriend." I shook my head, thinking that Daniel won't do such a thing.

"You don't believe me?" Jimin asked in amused tone before taking out his phone from his pockets. "I've got evidence, princess. You know I've been keeping an eye on your 'boyfriend' lately." He said mockingly, going through his phone before showing the screen in front of me.

And there in front of me was a photo of Daniel with Minji on his side. My face went pale and my heart throbbed at the sight of the girl clinging shamelessly on the guy I trusted. The girl was smiling while she held on Daniel, and he was too smiling back at her.

Jimin swiped his phone and showed another picture, this time it was another place end probably a different time too. They were wearing different clothes from the other picture. Daniel was holding Minji's face while his other arm wrapped on her waist.

The next photo was him, leaning in closer to Minji's face. My heart shattered as tear started to roll down my cheeks. Jimin swiped his phone again but I averted my gaze before I can even see the photo. He laughed. "See? I told you he was probably hooking up with–"

"Stop it! I know you're lying!" I shouted from across the table before standing up. He looked at me, now serious, no humor was left on his face. "Lying? But this was taken days after you were gone, princess. The evidence was in front of you." I shook my head in disapproval.

"No.. Daniel loves me! I know he's looking for me. He won't do that especially he knows I'm missing!" I told Jimin, or more to myself. Jimin shrugged his shoulders then sighed. "Daniel might have given up, you know. Your dad could've told him to give up on you two and he maybe did. The answer's in front of you, Saeron. It's your choice to believe it or not."

My hands trembled more as I sobbed. No, I'm sure Daniel won't do that to me. "Remember the time he was with Minji on that art exhibit? He might be cheating on you since that day or even before that day, who knows." I threw him a glare but he just looked at me straight in the eye.

I turned on my heel and left him on the dining room alone. My heart shattering into million pieces as I recalled everything from that day. He was with Minji and now the pictures..

I trust Daniel but damn it, why am I hurting like this? Why do I suddenly feel angry and disappointed towards him? I wanted to believe that he will never do that to me but the evidences are already shown to me.

I went to the room I was staying at and was about to close the door when Jimin suddenly grabbed my arm and held me close. I shivered and then suddenly felt stiff around his arm. He wrapped his arms around me tightly and gently wiped the tears away from my face.

He lifted my chin and made me look at him. "Is it true?" I whispered my voice cracking when I spoke. He looked at me with concern then nodded lightly. My knees weakened as another set of tears ran down my cheeks, I sobbed quietly. My heart was hurting inside my chest and I was suddenly having a hard time to breath. "You're lying! Tell me you're lying!" I accused him while shaking my head continuously.

"I'm sorry princess, but it's true." He whispered on my ear brushing his thumb to wipe my tears again. I sobbed again gripping on his shirt. We stayed like that for a few minutes before I started to calm down.

My tears has strained and my mind was blank. I couldn't think of anything other than the fact that my father did everything to separate Daniel and I. The fact that I'm now here in the arms of another guy. Especially the fact that I'm abducted yet Daniel cheated on me.

"I hate him. I hate all of you." I said out of nowhere, breaking the long silence that filled the room. "I'm sorry, princess." He whispered, brushing the stray locks and putting it behind my ear. "He'll pay for what he's done to you. If you let me, I'll help you." I looked up at him while he stared down at me. His eyes tender and filled with concern.

I can't feel anything but hatred and suddenly, what Jimin said had given me encouragement on something. "And your father, don't you think it's his fault you ended up like this too?" My eyes started to water again as I nodded my head.

"We'll make them pay, if you let me." He brushed my lips using his thumb. I stared back at him blankly. "How?" I asked,

"Marry me."
