TRIGGER WARNINGS: Violence/mention of kidnapping/foul language/Light Smut (Future chapter)
A/N: I'm going to be pretty busy with work and going to a movie tomorrow. And since I'll be busy, I figured I'd post the chapter today rather than on friday. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ji-Yeon awoke with a warm and gentle touch of the sun that peeked through a crack in the window. She stretched her arms out and let out a small moan. As she rose, she noticed she was back on the futon in the room in his shop. She couldn't recall how she ended up there. As she sat for a minute, her memories came flooding in like a rushing river.

She had an encounter with Vincent last night, one she wishes would leave her mind. His vile touch still lingered on her skin. She wanted a shower. She remembered Wonho rushing to her aid and fighting Vincent. She had tried to stop him. She shook her head, his eyes looked so dark then and his body felt hot against her skin. When she had caught up with him, she had found him standing in the shower, with the water running down his face.

She had never seen him like that. If she was honest, she never wanted to see it again. It terrified her seeing him so angry. But at that moment, seeing him in the shower, she felt like her heart was being ripped out of her chest. He had looked so scared.

She remembered running out after seeing that and sitting by the door. But after that, nothing. Her heart sank once more. Why was she like that? Why did she want to run to him and wrap her arms around him? Lowering her shoulders, she let out a soft breath. How could she have feelings for him when she was already spoken for?

Thinking of Ren, she felt a sharp pain in her chest. She was being selfish. Or was she? Ren wasn't like Wonho. In some aspects, they may have been the same. But there was something that drew her closer to Wonho, then Ren. She had known Ren for a while and, in the beginning, she was happy being his fiancé. But the more she spoke out about what she thought was beyond the wall, the more she saw her father in him. She had placed her thoughts aside after seeing the disapproving look on Ren's face when he had told her not to make a scene that day on the wall. If anything, her fiancé should have stood up for her right?

The more time she spent in Lost Haven and with Wonho, the more she couldn't imagine how she would feel when Ren would come for her. If he even would come for it. It had been a few days since she had been taken, and all she had lost a little more hope for them to come. Well, that and the fact she had forgotten all about her home in Serenity. Letting out a sigh, Ji-Yeon tried to push the thoughts away.

She placed her feet on the cold floor, stood and stretched once more. Her muscles felt relaxed and yet she still felt slightly tired. It must have just been her emotions from last night. She tried not to relive the events again and tried to focus on what she needed to do which was find a change of clothes and have a hot shower to rid herself of Vincent's touch.

When she left the room, she saw a small piece of bread next to a glass of water. Had Wonho put that there for her? Looking around the room she couldn't see him. Hearing her stomach groan, she took a smaller chunk of the bread and ate it. As she chewed, she took another small chunk in one hand and grabbed the glass of water with her other.

She walked further into the shop expecting to hear Wonho hard at work. However, that's not what she found. The shop was quiet and made her feel alone. Not that she would have minded being alone it would have given her more time with her thoughts. However, as she thought about it, she would prefer not to be alone with them. She walked past his workstation and paused. It was strange that he wasn't standing there half naked with only an apron covering his chest and metallic gloves covering half of his arms.
