Just as I take my shoes off and hang the coat on coat rack, the front door behind me opens, giving me a momentary heart-attack.
                          
I whirl around with the strong beating of my heart only to see Harry walking in. "Harry! My heart!" I glare at him, flattening my hand on my chest. Discerning his way of dressing- a grey hoodie with a pair of grey sweatpants, jogger shoes, a black headband around his forehead and bottle of watter in his hand- he looks like he just came from morning walk or exercise. 
                          
"Sorry... Didn't want to scare you, bae~!" He chuckles but take his shoes off before unplugging his headphones and tucking them in his pants pocket, where his phone already is. "Where were you last night?" He asks trailing behind me as I'm making my way towards kitchen to drink something as I'm thirsty and hungry asf since last night but just didn't want to eat anything at that jerk's house. "I told Anna that I'll be staying at my friend's house. No need for inquiry." I roll my eyes and take the apple juice from fridge to drink it and hydrate my throat. 
                          
"Where's Anna, by the way?" I ask as he's taking something from fridge and coming beside me. "She's still asleep. She doesn't work today." He says, gulping down his banana milk so I just nod and take the bottle with me to go to my room and start packing. I don't have enough time for it so I'll just tell Anna about my departure when she wakes up. "Cook something for me. I'm hungry." He says behind me but I'm not taking his orders. 
                          
"Get some snacks. I'm not cooking for you." I tell him going up the stairs, not even sparing him a glance but still a slight smile forms on my lips. "Fine, you lazy ass! Where are snacks?" 
                          
"In one of the upper right cabinets." I tell him but make a beeline for my room that is almost in the end of the hall. 
                          
_08:45.a.m._ 
                          
Now done with all the packing and getting ready after taking a shower, I head down the stairs to take my breakfast, dragging my bags with me downstairs to just keep them near the stairs. "Morning!" I chim to Anna as she is making something in the kitchen. "Morning, sweetie!" She smiles at me as usual so I go near her to see what's being prepared by her. Waffles! Great. 
                          
"Anna!" I ask for her attention, getting near the fridge to take a carton of strawberry milk and drink it as I'm craving for it since before taking the shower. "Yes?" She asks in a calm voice but serves the Waffles in dishes as they are cooked. "I'm... I'm going out of country today." I let out hesitantly but receive the kind of reaction I was expecting to get. She turns around, looking wide-eyed at me before she slightly parts her lips to speak again after a moment of surprise I gave her. 
                          
"Wha- what did you just say?" She asks, surprise visible in her voice as well as on her features. "I'm going to Japan for a week or two due to some company reasons-" 
                          
"Absolutely absurd!" A weird chuckle escapes her but she turns around to get to her work again but a manly voice behind me suddenly startles me. "Where are you going?" I turn around to see Harry in his white t-shirt and black jeans looking hot as ever. "We have some plans in Japan and it's necessary for me to go. I have to leave in an-" 
                          
"Are you crazy or what? How can you go? And alone?" I get cut in my sentence for the second time but this time, by Harry.
                          
"Why? What's wrong with that?" I get offend by his statement. I understand that I've never travelled long distances alone let alone going abroad but I'm not alone at all. I have the staff with me and I'd like to experience this new thing as I believe that I'll be free for sometime, away from my daily life hassle. "Excuse me? 'What's wrong with that?' You should know better than anyone 'what's wrong?'!" He says, getting angry but I understand right away where he's going. 
                          
"I can go anywhere I want. And as long as I can remember, you both are the ones who told me to move on from that shit of my past and not to remember it again!" I get worked up over this talk and a tight knot start to form in the back of my throat. "Y/N! Harry! Can you both just please stop it?" Anna glares at us but turns to me to speak. "And you're not going anywhere! Let that reason stay behind. I just can't send you anywhere, alone!" She says in an authoritative voice. 
                          
"Anna! I've agreed on going already. Moreover, I'm an adult now. I can decide on my own what to do with my life, now." I say but Harry comes closer and tightly grabs me by my arm. "You. Aren't. Going. Anywhere!" He grits through his teeth and leaves my arm, harshly shoving me back. "I'll fucking go and no one can stop me!!" I dare to spit my words at his face glaring at both of them with my teary eyes but push past them to head towards the stairs and take my bags to go towards the front foor, taking my black coat to throw it over my black top and plunging my shoulder bag on my shoulder 
                          
"WHERE THE HECK YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING!?" Anna's yelling rings through my ears but I just look back at her, sparing a glance at Harry as well, discerning his clenched jaw, trying to hold his anger back. Ignoring him, I just focus on Anna and speak with my trembling voice. "I'll text you once I reach there." I put my boots on before opening the front door. "Take care of yourself. I Love you..." Tears run down my eyes as I look one last time at Anna before finally stepping out and leave the house for good. 
                          
I know what I'm doing and I'm sure I won't regret my decision. Never...!
                          
_03:45.p.m_ 
                          
Landing in Japan and finally reaching our reserved luxurious hotel, which is without any wonder, under BigHit's property, I enter the room which belongs to me and two other female staff members. I put my bag along with the other bags which belong to Ava and Hailee respectively and go staright to the washroom attached to the room as those two have already plopped on their beds to rest a little before joining the meeting held between the staff members for tomorrow's preparations, two hours later. 
                          
I close the washroom door behind me and do my 'urgent stuff' that I've been holding back for the last one hour. I pull my black jeans back up to put it properly around my waist after cleaning myself and wash my hands and face as well, to refresh myself to then go out and join the girls. 
                          
I sit on my bed and take hold of my shoulder bag to take my phone out. "I don't wanna join the meeting~." Hailee whines stretching her body to get rid of cramps. I smile at her cuteness but speak. "Why is that? Are you tired?" 
                          
She nods to me cutely, with a pout but replies me. "Xavier was sad knowing that I'll be away from him for some days so he didn't leave me last night and thus, I couldn't rest enough." She tells us about her husband but gets all shy afterwards, averting our eyes, making me and Ava giggle at her. "You two are so cute, to be honest." Ava says laughing softly at her. "I know. Let's just rest now." Hailee's cheeks glow up but she hides her face in the pillow to conceal her features. 
                          
Ava shakes her head while smiling but lays down on her bed so I leave these two alone and get out of the room, with my phone in my hand, switching the lights off on my way to let these two girls get some time alone. I close the door behind me and see if Anna has sent me any message as I've already told her about my arrival in Japan. I sigh after seeing that she hasn't replied me back after seeing the message but I just brush it off and start walking towards the stairs to go down and take something to drink from the cafeteria there is, downstairs. 
                          
I pass by the empty hallways as everyone must be in their rooms but in a sudden, a figure suddenly comes behind me, puts one hand on my mouth to cover it, not giving me any time to react and grabs me tightly putting an arm around my waist from behind to then drag me somewhere. I wriggle in the clasp, making aggressive moves and trying to get something out of my mouth but just some muffled screams come out. I try to hit him, moving unceasingly but the grip on me tightens, halting me from making any move, my vision getting blur by my tears, a feeling of dejà vú washing over me, how I was kidnapped and how I was treated afterwards. 
                          
'Someone please save me...'
                          
To be continued....
