Chapter 8

You snuggled up against him, spilling all your secrets to a man you had met less then 24 hours ago.

"Life was perfect when mother was alive, everyone was always happy and smiling - she was our sunshine," you smile sadly as you recall your past life.

You remember your mother as a hyper-active ball of radiating happiness. Chin Ho wrapped his arm around you, protecting you from the horrible incidents that came after she died…

Sniffling, you could feel the tears coming, but you press on - you could trust Chin Ho, right?"A-anyways.." your voice cracks, but Chin Ho doesn't seem to notice, "my mother died when I was only 10... It was the day after my 10th birthday…" hot, heavy tears roll down your face, planting themselves on the front of your pyjama shirt.

He nuzzles his head onto the top of yours, as if saying, 'it's alright, I'll help you.'"After mother died, …father started acting strange… He would take the maids into his room…. They would always quit a few days after."

You can feel Chin Ho nodding. So you continue with your story, it was time to get it off your chest.

"When all the maids q-quit.. There was no one left for Him to….relive stress with… but that's where I came in. He only started using me once I turned 13..." you choke on a sob - you feel like throwing up as you recall all those times he trapped you.

Chin Ho slides his hand down to hold yours, caressing every so slightly - prompting you to go on.

"H-he would trap me His room…lock the door so I couldn't escape. H-h-he had chains to…keep me from going anywhere…" you gag as visions flash through your mind - his saggy skin rubbing up against yours, the grunting sounds he made as he tore into you… You screaming in absolute pain and horror.

Shaking violently, you continue, "I-I was his angel, why would He want to h-hurt his angel? What did I ever do!"

Chin Ho tightens his grip on you, his lips nuzzle your ear, "go to the bathroom and dry yourself, the food will be here soon.."

You nod and dizzily stand up, the room was spinning - but you managed to find your way to the bathroom.

As you stand in the bathroom, you hear a light thunk up against the outside of the bathroom door, you walk over to the door and try to open it - it doesn't sets in and your heart speeds up, you rush over to the toilet in time as yesterdays dinner comes back up.

You slide down to the floor and whimper, "Chin Ho?"

You shouldn't have trusted him, no, never trust outside the bathroom, you hear voices - it sounds like Him.

The world spins and you nearly choke on the bile rising up from your throat, you were so dizzy you thought were going to pass out. But that's when you remember your cell phone - your fingers fumble as you try to turn it on.

You call your oppas, praying that they would be home - but lady luck was not on your side today.

Sobbing into the phone, you start to leave a message, "Oppas? Oppas! Please help me! He's here, He's here! I'm at Chin Ho's, h-he trapped me! Han Hyo Apartments, floor 5, room 2-" before you could finish your sentence, the door swung open - you scream and try to back away, but He thunders into the small room and rips the phone from panic and everything in the room melts together, the bile arises once more, spilling out of your mouth as he grabs you.

Lifting you up, he towers above you.

"Hello sweetie~ I've missed you…" his voice sounds like rusty nails and he smells like vodka.

"KWAA! NOO!" you scream and try to twist away as he lowers his face to your kick and buck, trying to hit a vital area, but he's too strong.

As you frantically try to escape, you can see Chin Ho outside of the bathroom - he had a huge wad of cash that he counting - he wasn't even paying attention to what was

happening right in front of him.

"Oh sweetie, he works for me. I paid Chin Ho to find you, and he did! How lucky that you hadn't run to far away from home~"

Anger boils up inside you, screaming you spit in His face - he chortles and slaps you - leaving a huge red mark on your cheek.

The pain and the anger is too much for you to handle.

The world spins and everything fades to black as you try to escape one last time….
