North KoreaXReader: Escape II

        “Unload the truck!” you heard someone shout. It was the long-haired Yao. Jia Long opened the back of the truck and dragged your limp body from the cargo hold. You had fallen asleep from exhaustion.

        “Hey, Yao! I think she’s, like, dead. What should I do?” Jia Long put you on the ground and lightly nudges you. Yao pushes him out of the way and kicks you. You spring awake and start to cry. Jia Long pulled Yao away from you.

        “Calm down, Yao!” he defended. “Remember we need to keep her alive for later! I thought we were gonna make some money off of her!” Yao stopped kicking you and walked away.

        “Whatever,” he muttered. He suddenly turned around and smirked. “Jia Long, change of plans. We’ll dispose of her. Let’s turn her in.” Your eyes widened. The situation couldn’t get any worse. Jia Long threw you once more into the cargo hold of the truck. The truck started moving again and you felt yourself hit the barred fabric covering.

        “Hey! You! Girl!” Someone was shaking you. “Get up!” You felt something hit your side. You sprung awake. You looked around with your impaired vision. You tried to open your mouth and scream for help but you couldn’t. Someone, probably Yao, had tied a no-longer-white cloth around your mouth. It was no-longer-white because it was stained in your blood. You squinted to see someone hovering over you. You almost cried when you saw their face. It couldn’t be. He was probably in jail now! But he looked so much like him. Could it be? Hyung Soo stood looking down at you, worried stealthily embedded in his angry face.

        “Who are you?” he shouted. You looked at him scared and puzzled. “What’s your name?” he demanded. Your lips trembled but you squeaked your name.

        “_______-______________. Nae erumeun _______-______________eyo.” He put his hand out to move some hair from your face but he scared you. You pulled away and were surprised at how much strength you had after everything you’d been through.

        “Don’t worry,” he whispered. “I won’t hurt you. Come here.” You shook your head. “Please? You can still trust me. Please?” You still shook your head. He sighed. “I’ll be back, ______________. Wait for me.” How could he have shouted at you? How could he have shouted at you, his best friend for the past two years? This hurt you. He walked out and you started crying.

        You heard the jail doors creak. You looked up to see Hyung Soo walking into your section of jail cells. He walked in lazily and the guard stood up, shouting.

        “Sir?” he exclaimed.

        “Let the girl in Cell IHS-156 out.” That was you. What was going on?

        “I...I can’t do that, Sir.”

        “Let her out.” You ran to the bars and watched the following events unfold. Hyung Soo placed a single bullet into a handgun and spun the barrel. The hammer clicked and he put the gun to his temple.

       “NO!” you screamed. The guard noticed Hyung Soo’s action as well.

       “Please, Sir! Don’t do it!” Hyung Soo pulled the trigger. The gun clicked and no bullet was

released. He smirked and put the gun down.

       “That scared you, didn’t it?” He spun the barrel once more and placed it to his head. “Don’t make me shoot.”

       “I can’t release her! Not even under your command! I’m only following rules that you set!” You became confused by his words. “Sir!” Again, Hyung Soo pulled the trigger. Nothing happened. He spun the barrel once more. The guard gave up arguing because sooner or later, he would find the bullet he put in. He walked over to your cell door and opened the door with clammy hands. He pulled you out and gave you to Hyung Soo. He looked at Hyung Soo and sighed. Hyung Soo suddenly aimed the weapon at the guard. You squeaked as Hyung Soo pulled the trigger and shot the guard dead through the heart.
