SHE BENT ME

Sacrifice

It shows on the little Thai's face that she's still scared of Jennie. Thinking that Jennie might be an accomplice.

"What's the point. You can't understand me anyway," little Jennie sighed.

(5 days passed)

"It's been five days that the only heiress of Manobal Industries had gone missing in Korea. What happened to the heiress? Is she dead or alive? Stay tuned for more updates" the news reporter said.

"5 days! 5 days and there's still no news about the missing heiress, where could she be? Is she alive or de--"

Marco turned the tv off. "BULLSHIT! This news is nonsense," Marco said angrily.

Global News HEADLINES!
DEAD OR ALIVE?
Pranpiya Manobal - the only heiress of Manobal Industries had gone missing in Korea for 5 days!

Marco ripped the newspaper.

"Fuck those reporters! They're making it as an issue, they're not even doing anything to find her," Marco said angrily and clenched his fists.

"Why did Min-a and Seung-Gi didn't manage to take good care of my child? Are they part of this? This is BUL--" Marco said furiously and Chitthip cut her off.

"Honey, shhh. I am as worried as you that our child is missing but being angry all the time won't help. Find another way, also, we can't blame Seung-Gi and Min-a about this, they've been missing too," Chitthip rubbed her hand on Marco's back.

"I'm sorry, honey. This is partly my fault. If I didn't go elsewhere and just enjoyed the trip with you and out daughter then this wouldn't happen," Marco sighed.

"We will find her and we can find her. Use what you have Marco," Chitthip said.

"I am trying, honey. It seems like this person has been planning this all along. This is not an ordinary man. This person is hard to trace and we can't find any leads," Marco said in frustration.

Min-a is still tied up and it has been five days since she has eaten any. Her lips are pale, her body is getting weaker and weaker every day, what she did to herself is suicide.

"Min-a unnie. Please eat," Jennie pleaded but Min-a shook her head.

"I just want to die. I wish we didn't take this job. They killed Seung-Gi, they killed him," Min-a still crying over Seung-Gi's death.

Jennie put the food on the floor and she covered her ears.

"Please don't say that name, unnie. Unnie, please." Jennie is shivering that made Min-a worried. Jennie is shivering and looking pale.

"Help! Jennie is sick! She's not okay!" Min-a screamed for help and two bodyguards came in, one in gray suit and the other in black.

"Carry her to boss' room and I'll stay here," one man in black suit ordered the man in gray suit to carry Jennie and let her rest in their Boss' room.

The man in gray suit gently placed Jennie on the bed and covered a blanket on her. Jennie caught an immediate fever. Pranpriya looked at her and held her hand. The little Thai felt a crumpled paper in Jennie's hand.

Jennie groped the little Thai girl's hand.

"Oppa, Can you leave us for a moment?" Jennie said to the man in gray suit guarding the boss' room. He shyly scratched his head when little Jennie called him Oppa. He went out and Jennie gave the crumpled paper to Pranpriya.

Pranpriya opened it and saw words written in Thai but with bad penmanship.

From: Min-a

Pranpriya. I'm sorry for getting you into trouble. I am sorry for not being able to protect you. Forgive me. I am currently writing this using my mouth while little Jennie here is holding the paper on the ground. I can't keep this letter long but please stay alive.

You have to stay alive. You have to make sure that the deaths of the people in here and not just Seung-Gi's and mine will be put to justice.

Please trust Jennie. I know you're scared of her but she's just trying to play along. It's hard for her Pranpiya as she doesn't have any choice. She's just a kid like you. This is hard for you both.

Stay alive, okay? I won't be able to make it. I blamed myself for this.
I'm glad to meet you even for a short moment.

Love, your Pee Sao Min-a.

Pranpiya clenched her fists and crumpled the paper more. Her tears are falling and she's enraging in anger. She eradicated the fear she had in the beginning in order to survive.

She looked at the sleeping Jennie, who still have a fever.

Pranpriya got up and wiped her tears with her arm.

'Pee Sao Min-a is right. I should stay alive,' Pranpiya thought to herself.

"Pran-- Tall girl, don't leave me," Jennie got awake while Pranpiya knocked on the door.

The door opened.

"What do you need?" the man in gray suit asked sternly.

"Min-a" it's the only word that Pranpiya said and she puppied her eyes.

"Okay, I will let you see her but only for a few seconds, okay?" the man said but it's useless because Pranpriya doesn't understand what he just said but Pranpriya just nodded as if she understood. She based on the man's facial expressions even if she doesn't understand the words he's saying.

"Don't leave," Jennie said weakly but Pranpiya didn't listen to her. She tried to get up and placed something on the door to prevent the door from locking on its own since it's set in auto-lock.
