STUBBORN HEARTS<3 (complete)

The Assault

I went off the trail, into the unsteady, complicated forest ground. But just like what the pest said,

I stayed close to the trail, following it.

A loud bang echoed, sending he birds flying out of the forest. I stopped in my tracks, my heart

beating painfully against my chest.

“Jiyong” I gasped, eyes wide. I turned around and started running back towards the house. Due

to my haste, I stumbled a lot of times, tripping with some outgrown roots, fallen and broken

branches and small rocks.

“JIYONG!” I called loudly this time, my voice rising into hysteria. I ran and ran until I saw the

thinning of the trees, the surroundings getting lighter. I was about to call for the pest again when

a hand covered my mouth. I was about to pull it off when I felt my arm got twisted behind me. I

whimpered a little.

“Keep quiet” a voice hissed in my ear.

“Wha-?” I started when I felt the hand off my mouth, but it was soon replaced by a cloth. I

struggled but the person was too strong for me. And I must say, she’s pretty good in covering my

mouth with one hand and my arm with her other hand. Yes, the person is a ‘she’, there’s no

mistaking that voice. When the cloth was secured, she then grabbed my other arm and pulled it

behind me. then, I felt something wrapped around my wrists. I’m being tied. And my feet were

bound, too.

She let me go and turned me around. I looked at Seohyun’s face. Why is she doing this? She then

pulled me with her and pushed me through the bushes. I fell hard on my side, feeling a few

thorns scratching my arms.

She straightened up and put a bright smile in her face. My eyes widen. What the hell is she

doing?! I tried making sounds but she ignored me. She then cleared her throat and walked away

from me.

“Jiyong!” I heard her call sweetly. I started breathing hard and looked around. I tried to push

myself up but it’s no use since both of my hands were tied. So I started kicking to move myself. I

squirmed and crawled like a worm. Finding a way back to the house. I didn’t mind the scratches

and some pointing pain.

Dang it! What does this mean? Why did Seohyun tied me? What the hell is going in? why did

someone fired a gun? And what happened to the pest?

I continued squirming until I saw two feet in front of me. I looked up and saw an unfamiliar face

looking down at me. I knew it’s the end of me when I saw the triumphant look in his face. Then,

a sneer came to his face.

“Oh, yes” he breathes gleefully. “The boss would be ecstatic. Oooh, for sure I’ll be rewarded for

this”

Cold dread washed over me. I started crawling away from him but, it was no use. He easily

stopped me by stepping on my back.
