Chapter 2 - Prologue: Part 2

(*Oppa - a Korean word that younger female uses towards an older male, usually when they're close)

Suddenly Ye Eun heard the sound of approaching footsteps, as if just above her head. Was she in the basement all this time? That explained the chill in some ways, but made the whole situation much worse. Not enough that she had to somehow free herself from these belts, but also to escape from the basement? She felt despair slowly envelop her and hope to escape this awful place slowly began to leave, but Ye Eun still clung to it desperately. She had to get out of here somehow... If she was to take part in this horror movie, then as the main character, not some supporting role that dies at the very beginning of the film in the most ridiculous way you can imagine.

Once again, she began to pull on her belts stubbornly, even though had less and less strength to do it. That was when the door opened. She immediately turned her eyes in that direction, but her sight was still a little bit blurry. All she could see was the male figure slowly coming down the stairs. He had dark hair, was slim and tall, dressed in a white shirt and dark pants - that was all she could see. He stopped at some distance from her and seemed to be watching for some time from afar. Ye Eun's heart began to pound harder, and terror chilled blood in her veins.

- I see that my princess has already woke up.- he spoke up after a moment. She recognized his voice right away. There was a sense of joy and excitement clearly audible in it.- Forgive me for having to put you on such an uncomfortable bed, in this a cold place, but otherwise you would escape, wouldn't you? And I can't let you do that even though you are my princess.- she heard him laughing lightly. Then he walked over to a nearby metal cabinet and took something out of it, but from a distance, with still blurry sight, she had no chance to see what it could be. However, the anxiety she had felt since being in his car earlier in the evening, increased sharply, as if the intuition told her the worst possible scenario.

- "Oh my God, I beg you. Send somebody to save me."- Ye Eun prayed in thoughts, because her throat was still squeezed with fear.- "I promise I will always listen to my father... That I will not leave without a guard at night... I will stop arguing with my boyfriend, I will start talking to my brother more... And I will stop going to these damn parties... So please, save me today..."- she begged, feeling tears running down her cheeks.

Finally he approached Ye Eun, holding an object in his hand. Finally she recognized closely what it was - a vial filled with colorless liquid. Later, however, her eyes went to the face of the captor. From the beginning Ye Eun kind of knew it was him, but it's not his face she wanted to see. If it would be someone else, a stranger, she could understand. But him? They knew each other so well, and despite various strange situations, she never thought that he would be able to hurt her.

- Oppa... Why are you doing this to me?- she asked, sobbing softly. Ye Eun still wanted to think that this was some kind of joke and he would immediately unhook her from these belts, and their friends with a camera would pop out from around the corner and shout "We got you!", and then everyone laugh, just like in some stupid variety show with a hidden camera.

- Ye Eun-ah...- he turned to her and his expression grew serious for a moment.- I won't hurt you, believe me. I just want you to be beautiful forever.- he continued, smiling again, and in his eyes a sparkle of madness could be seen. Although he was smiling, there was clearly no emotion behind it.- This process is a bit painful, after all you become immortal and it has a price... But I don't want you to suffer, so I got something that won't let you feel the pain.- he showed the vial in his hand.- Thanks to this you will fall asleep and won't feel anything. It will be a painless path to eternal life for you, my dear.- he added putting on white latex gloves and then taking a syringe and a sterile needle from a nearby table.

- Oppa, please... You don't have to do that...- Ye Eun tried to say something more, but he put a finger to her lips. When she felt the touch of latex on her skin, a strong sob shook Ye Eun's whole body.

- Quiet my princess... Don't be afraid, it won't hurt, really.- he assured her, though neither in his eyes nor in his voice there was any signs of concern. Then, after putting a needle together with a syringe, he drew the right amount of liquid from the vial and approached her arm. Panic swept over the girl, so she started struggling, preventing him from inserting the needle.

- Ye Eun-ah!- he raised his voice, but there was still no emotion audible in it.- Do not make this harder. You're forcing me to hurt you.- he added warningly, and only after these words something like a shadow of anger mixed with pain literally flashed across his face within a few seconds.

- By doing all of this you're hurting me the most, oppa. You can't make someone immortal, you just want to kill me!- Ye Eun had no idea how she managed to gather enough courage to say these words. However, immediately after that her body began to shake even more, and heart almost ripped out of her chest, it was beating so fast.

Hearing what she said, he froze suddenly with the syringe in his hand, glancing at her without a word. His poker face showed no emotion, even from his eyes one could not read what was happening in his head in that moment. Now he really looked like a mannequin, in particular his face. Although his figure also did not deviate too much from the body of the mannequin.

Ye Eun was lying down there staring at him, nervously expecting some reaction. Did she hit his tender spot? Ye Eun did not know whether to regret the words just spoken or to be glad that she dared to throw them out. She had no idea what his reaction would be - would these words save her or plunge completely. That moment seemed to go on forever, driving her crazy. If Ye Eun had more strength, she would gladly scream as loud as possible, at least to relieve the tension.Suddenly he moved, put the syringe on a nearby table and then leaned over Ye Eun, his hands resting on both sides of her head. When he was so close to her like this, she felt so cornered as never before in her life.

- Ye Eun-ah... You still don't understand anything.- he sighed, looking at her with an expression reminiscent of sad one, but was looking too artificial to be considered a real symptom of sadness.- Beautiful women are usually empty, seems to have nothing inside. But you are different, that's why I don't want your beauty to pass away over the years. You deserve to be beautiful forever, you belong to the chosen ones and should feel honored.- he said with a very serious expression. Everything he said sounded like a total nonsense. Evidently he was not right in the head and should be locked in some kind of asylum or mental hospital. Ye Eun really didn't expect such paranoia from him, she literally couldn't understand it.

Finally he straightened up and reached for the syringe again. He checked the pressure and slowly approached the needle to her skin. The girl's body, as if in a last attempt at self-defense, began to shake, but he held her arm tightly and stuck the needle in, then pressed the plunger.

- "No, it's impossible... This is not really happening... Somebody help..."- she thought in despair, feeling a puncture, then a slight pinch in the place where the needle was stuck. A few seconds later, the image in front of the eyes became more and more blurred again, the body grew weaker, and she was slowly losing her breath. Ye Eun looked at him one last time, pleading, and felt her muscles flex slightly as if they were defending her body with their last strength. And he was only standing above her, watching intently as if waiting for something. Ye Eun tried to fight, but the poison quickly spread through the bloodstream and she couldn't stop it by any means. Ye Eun was dying slowly but painlessly. As he said, it didn't hurt at all. Just a second after a second she drifted off into oblivion, as if falling asleep. He turned her head so that Ye Eun's eyes fell on the ceiling. With the last bits of strength, she watched the frightening whiteness that blurred more and more before her eyes. She closed her eyes and felt the last tears run down her cheeks, down to her neck. Not long after that, Ye Eun let out her last breath.

He was just waiting for it. When the girl completely lost consciousness, he checked her pulse. She was dead. Finally. He has been preparing for this moment for a long time. Other girls before her were mostly the experiments that helped him polish his skills to perfection so that he can finally bring his plan to an end. All this long time he was preparing only for her so she could become his completely perfect creation. With his hand, for the last time he stroked her cheek which was getting colder. Her skin was so wonderfully soft, like the best quality silk. Ye Eun's face didn't change much, her complexion was always pale. He slightly opened her eyelids, which she closed before falling asleep, to admire this beautiful hazel eye color again. He touched her lips gently with his fingertips, they were as delicate as rose petals, their color also matched these beautiful flowers. With the second hand he touched her wonderfully soft, long black hair, running his hand down her neck, breasts and waist, all the way to the hips. He felt really excited when his hand slowly slid under her short skirt, just between her legs and under the fabric of skimpy panties. He felt wonderful, finally being able to slip his fingers inside of her, into the very center. He slid them in and out several times, feeling the growing pleasure. His lips kissed her cold body, every inch of skin that has been exposed. Then he unzipped his pants with one hand and slid them slightly to get out his full grown erection. He put his hand around it tightly and began to move up and down, and the fingers of his other hand were still inside her. His breathing quickened, and a few low moans escaped from his mouth. He closed his eyes, biting his lower lip hard. Dreaming about it for so long, he came very quickly. All his load landed on the floor, because he didn't want to get her dirty. Ye Eun, his wonderful princess, must have looked perfect. He cleaned up quickly and prepared everything for the real work. He had a lot to do if he was to make her immortal and beautiful forever. In addition, the next day he had to leave his usual present on the road from which he took Ye Eun today.

Until now, every day he was more and more afraid that his princess would leave him. She grew older and older and he was afraid that her beauty may be hurt soon. She was perfect right now, so he had to stop time and immortalize this perfect image. Thanks to his hard work, Ye Eun will always remain beautiful and never leave him. In addition, he will now be able to touch her whenever he wants.

When everything was ready for the procedure, to the hospital bed at which Ye Eun was lying down, he immediately moved closer the metal trolley table full of various medical equipment, which was usually used during surgery. He put on white latex gloves, took the scissors in his hand, and began to cut her clothes. At first he took some blood, placing the test tube filled with it on the second table, where a small bouquet of artificial cherry blossoms was already in the corner, ready for tomorrow.
