Being quiet and reserved wasn't the answer to living a peaceful life

Being quiet and reserved wasn't the answer to living a peaceful life. Life itself is a rollercoaster with tosses and turns you do not expect to see. And apparently it was Joo ri's turn to take the ride. But with her fear of heights, it was not going to be a smooth and pleasant one.

She was now sitting in front of a two-way mirror that revealed an interrogation room laying beyond it. Shaking out of her wits, Joo ri bounced her knees up and down, petrified. "You ready?" Yangyang stepped into the room.

Muscles compressed and agitating. The sheer overwhelming emotions took over her. 

She was not the slightest bit ready. The raw enticing feelings of wanted to escape reality hit her like an animal pleading to be set free from a cage. She wished to have the ability to just freeze time or teleport to another location. 

But life is just not easy  

"No" she honestly spoke with no ounce of serenity in her eyes.

A soft smile adorned over his features. Sitting on the table, he tilted his head to the side as he observed her down casted expressions that looked up from her seated position on the chair. 

"You'll be fine" he reassured. Though he thought his consideration and comforting words worked on her like a charm. The male was oblivious to the truth. The smile she masked on was nothing more than simply being a mask. Pressing a button, Yangyang stood up straight. "Mr. Lee you can let them in"

Raising his hand, Yangyang gestured to the interrogation room where 4 men began to walk in. Making their way further into the room they all turned towards the mirror with a chalkboard in their hands. Each with a number labelled from 1 to 4.

This kind of scene was something she had only watched on TV; like Brooklyn 99 when the culprits were singing "I want it that way" by Backstreet Boys. It was so much more fun to let your delusions experience it then actually forthcoming to such an event.

"Do you recognise any of them?"

Glancing over to him, Joo ri faced the culprits once again before pondering over her own thoughts.

Tell the truth or lie

As soon as she read that a message had come through from Eun tak, Joo ri wasted no time opening it. But you should always prepare yourself for the worst in life. Because you never know what is thrown at you.

At that moment a photo was thrown to her. One with Eun tak tied to a chair with masking tape sealing her mouth shut. An unmistakable scene that screamed "kidnapped".
