"What, do you want to take her clothes off?" Joshua asked with a teasing smirk.

"Where'd you get that idea?" Junhui shot back, glaring at Joshua before turning to look out the window.

As they arrived at the Seventeen headquarters, Joshua carried you inside and tied your wrists to the bed. Mingyu informed the others of their arrival, and soon the rest of the group joined them, staring down at you with a mixture of curiosity and cold detachment.

You stirred, your head pounding as you slowly regained consciousness. Junhui noticed you waking up and nudged Joshua. "Hyung... the girl's waking up."

Joshua turned to see you sitting up on the bed, confusion and fear written all over your face. "She's not supposed to wake up for another three to five hours," Joshua muttered, ending his call.

"Where the hell am I?" you mumbled, your voice shaky. Your eyes landed on the two men watching you, and recognition dawned on you. "Bastards," you whispered, anger flaring up.

"What do you want from me?" you demanded, your voice stronger now.

Before they could answer, the door swung open, and eight more figures entered the room, their attention immediately fixed on you.

"I see the little bunny's already awake," Seungcheol said, his voice dripping with condescension as he approached you.

"What is this? Some kind of cult?" you snapped, sarcasm lacing your words. The men around you exchanged surprised looks, a few even smirking at your boldness.

"Watch your tongue, or I'll cut it off," Seungcheol warned, leaning in close. His words sent a shiver down your spine, but you held his gaze, refusing to back down.

"Lee Heeseung..." Seungcheol began, watching your reaction closely. The mention of Heeseung's name made you look up in confusion and frustration. "Your brother did something very bad to our company."

Seungcheol's eyes locked onto yours, his presence radiating authority. You felt a chill run down your spine, but you weren't about to let fear take over. "I don't know what you're talking about," you replied, trying to keep your voice steady.

Seungcheol's lips curled into a slight smirk. "Playing innocent won't get you anywhere," he said, his tone cold. "You're more valuable than you realize, and your cooperation could make things easier for both of us."

You shot back, "If you think I'm going to help you, you're seriously mistaken."

Seungcheol didn't respond right away. Instead, he walked around you, as if sizing you up, before leaning in close. "You may want to rethink that," he whispered. "Or do you really want to see what happens when we run out of patience?"

Before you could retort, the door opened again, and another figure entered the room. The moment he stepped in, the tension in the air shifted. He was different from the others-more composed, but his eyes held a dangerous gleam.

Jeonghan.

He took his time assessing the situation before finally speaking. "Is this the girl?" he asked, his voice smooth, almost soothing, as he directed his question to Seungcheol.

"She is," Seungcheol confirmed, stepping back to give Jeonghan a better view of you.

Jeonghan walked closer, his gaze never leaving yours. "You must be wondering why you're here," he said calmly. "I'll make it simple. Your brother has been a thorn in our side for too long, and now, you're the leverage we need to ensure he stops."

You clenched your fists, trying to hide the tremble in your hands. "And what makes you think he'll care? Heeseung doesn't have anything to do with me."

Jeonghan raised an eyebrow, amused by your defiance. "Perhaps. But we'll see how much he's willing to risk once he knows you're in our hands."

Mingyu, who had been silent up until now, finally spoke up. "This could all be over quickly if you just cooperate. No one has to get hurt."

You glared at him, anger boiling up inside. "You're all insane if you think I'm going to play along with whatever sick game this is."

"Insane or not," Joshua chimed in, "you're here, and we have the upper hand. So, I'd suggest you think carefully about your next move."

The room fell silent, the weight of their words pressing down on you. It was clear that they weren't bluffing, and you were in way over your head. But something told you that giving in wasn't an option either.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Seungcheol spoke again. "We'll give you some time to think it over. But remember, your brother's actions have consequences-and so do yours."

With that, he motioned for the others to leave the room. As they filed out, Jeonghan lingered for a moment, his eyes locking with yours one last time before he too, walked out, closing the door behind him.

You were left alone in the dimly lit room, the silence deafening. Your mind raced, trying to process everything that had just happened. One thing was clear-you needed to find a way out of this mess, and fast.

But for now, all you could do was wait and hope that Heeseung would find out what had happened before it was too late.
