The one and only

Next day Lisa is looking at the mirror, a beauty team is putting make up on her face and some wardrobe are coming too.

Katie has been bugging her a lot about the auction that will happen tonight.

In the other side Ellen is nowhere to be found, Lisa asked someone who bring her clothes about Ellen's whereabouts and she said Ellen is probably out for 'work'.

It's been more than 30 hour she's not in touch with anyone from the squad.

They must be looking for me, right?

She bits her lips.

"Hey!" Katie called her. "let's go, we're gonna be late."

They arrived in a an ugly old building in the city side. Lisa took a deep breathe, she keep telling herself to not panicking, and keep convincing herself that someone from the squad—hopefuly Hanbin—is looking for her now.

She tighten her arms that folded infront of her robe, she is wearing her dress inside the robe while dragging by Katie's men to the building.

She gasped when saw the interior was magnificent, like an ancient mid-century with  high ceiling, sturdy piles, and golden listings.

She was dragged to the backstage but manage to glimpse at the guests who already came. Men in expensive suit or eccentric style, old and young, holding their glass of champagne, chit-chatting with each others.

Lisa sat on a long sofa, near her was some other girls.

"You're Lisa?" one of them asking.

Lisa nodded. "And you are...?"

"She's the star." The girl who was asking talked to her friend in Thai.

"I understand Thai too." Lisa talked in Thai.

They gasped.

"W-why am I the star?" Lisa asked.

"Auction night always have one star, last time was the actress of a movie... I forgot the name." she said.

Lisa gulped.

"I heard you're famous in Korea but troubled... is that why you're joining this?'

"Joining?" Lisa flinched, "Are you girls joining this voluntarily?"

"Uh... some are yes, more are no..." that girl pointed at some girls who are also in the backstage with her, mostly they look depressed, someone is actually crying in the corner. "but... you know, it's not like you can escape."

"Why?"

"They threaten us, for sure. You didn't know?"

Lisa shook her head.

This is kidnapping.

The event is started and Lisa can hear it from the backstage that it running like a regular auction. Except they sell this girls. And it hurt her heart.

Her heart jumped when one of the stage crew call her name to prepare to go to the stage.

"Your sale is next!" he said.

"Where's everyone?" Jinan get into Hanbin's lounge where he only saw Jennie and Bobby and their wine bottle.

"Who's everyone?" Jennie asked back.

"Do you mean Hanbin?" Bobby also asking.

"Yeah, maybe." Jinan sat across them.
