The Threat

Kang Goo was sitting in the secret cabin and was watching all the activities from various computers, whether it was the investigation of the police or the girls. He was observing everything and laid back in his chair crossing his leg over the other. His eyes were trained only on one person who seemed to be awfully quiet to him. Wearing his mask

He stood up and grabbed an iron rod which was bent by Bong-Soon by her bare hands, and started taking big steps towards the area where his brides were kept confined. Touching the rod with the bars on the side making a loud clashing sound he went on.

When he reached all the ladies were near the bar gate shouting and screaming but Di-Hee didn't. He went to her cell and looked at her playing with the hem of her dress in some deep thought. He banged her gate with the rod to which she flinched.

Her eyes held emptiness as if they could not show anything less. She looked at him and then turned her gaze to the rod and then again looked downwards. She had been doing this from starting, no responses, no shoutings, no begging, no noises, nothing.

It has been 5 days since she was kidnapped and it seemed like she lost interest in life. Kang Goo opened the door and stepped inside. He crouched down beside her and looked at her without saying anything feeling someone near her, Di-Hee looked up and started moving backwards.

Kang Goo became angry because of this action and standing up he took long strides towards her and started beating her with that iron rod.

"YOU! Why isn't your friend doing something after knowing that her friend is missing? Huh!" He yelled at her. But she started laughing like a psycho. She didn't scream when he hit her. She became habitual. Or to say more specifically an old memory just resurfaced.

"She will if she knows." Saying that she fainted, covered in blood. Something hit hard to Kang Goo. He hurriedly locked up the cell and left. Reaching outside he searched through her phone and found Bong-Soon's number. But then he got an idea and he again ran towards the area with her phone.

He sprinkled some water on Di-Hee's face and she opened her eyes. She again looked at him with emptiness and that did something to his that a knot formed at the bottom of his heart. But to initiate his idea he needed to do that.

After some time a scream and loud cries were heard from the same cell and every girl present there started to shout and beg him but their efforts were listened to by deaf ears.

Meanwhile, Kang Goo's helper set up the camera and the location as it is as his master told him. Kang Goo dragged Di-Hee there. And everyone was confused why she suddenly lost her calm and started crying. What had that kidnapper done to her? It was the only question that was flowing through the girl's head.

The video started recording from Di-Hee's phone and Kang Goo started by showing his face and standing in front of Di-Hee hiding her completely.

"Hello, Bong-Soon. Long time no see. I heard that the news of your best friend getting kidnapped did not reach you. But, I am telling you this myself. And if you want to come here but listen to her first."

then he stepped aside and grabbed Di-Hee's hair in a tight grip earning a short scream. Pushing her forward, her already crying state worsen.

"Bong-Soon-na d-don-don't c-come h-here," Kim Di-Hee said between sobbing and got kicked aside by the kidnapper as he got in front of the camera again.

"DO BONG-SOON, you think if you are strong that means that you will save your best friend. No. And don't you dare to report to the police or she dies. And I can assure you that. " He stopped recording the video and forwarded it to Bong-Soon.

As soon as the video was sent to Bong-Soon and she received it, Kang Goo dragged Di-Hee into her cell and tied her hands at her back and put a cloth around her mouth. She resisted but he was too strong for her. He came closer to her ear and started to feather her cheek which was stained in blood and said in a threatening voice, "Don't you make a single voice till I am done. Okay?"

Di-Hee gulped and nodded her head hurriedly afraid of him. Nobody, not even his helper knew what was going on in his mind since he failed to capture Na Kyung-Shim and got the central attention of all the media.

He pushed her a little back which made her back touch the cold wall, making her shiver. He put one of his knees on the right side of the bed and towered over her keeping one of his hands on her left side trapping her in between.

She watched him in pure horror as she went numb and shivered as hell. He snaked her waist from the left with his free hands and brought her closer to him. She forced her head back but he jolted her which made her head bump into his chest.

She tried to move but his grip was too firm. He brought his other hand over her right shoulder and hugged her.

She was covered in cuts all over her face and arms and some blood was covering her face which stained the white sweater of the kidnapper red. She hadn't seen his face, he never got in front of her without his mask.

She could feel his hot breath on her neck. She didn't dare to move. She tried hard not to piss him off, she just can't afford it, not anymore. When he just touched such a sensitive topic and did something that was not even in her imagination.

They stayed in that position for like, 5 minutes. He released her and saw that she was already asleep, out of fear and beating.

His eyes soften seeing her like that. His behaviour towards her was different from that of others. But his anger always overdoes him.

He placed her head softly on the pillow and covered her in the blanket. He left the place without even sparing a glance at others.
