Chapter 308 - That event

Lee Jinhee opened her eyes when her arms were finally released from that grip, and her body fell onto the ground as her knees gave out. Crouching on the ground, she did not attempt to raise her head in order to look at Kwon Youngmi. 

Lee Jinhee had no idea about how long Youngmi had directed those blows at her for. Youngmi slapped, punched, and kicked her as much as she could in order to vent her anger .

When Youngmi was finally done with it, she ordered the maids to let go of Jinhee, and unable to compose herself any longer, Jinhee let herself collapse on the floor.

Her body was in utter pain, and tears formed at the corners of her eyes. She held in her urge to cry. She would not let herself fall weak in that moment.

She could not let Kwon Youngmi have the pleasure of seeing her crying in pain. That would only make Youngmi even more satisfied and was not something Jinhee wanted.

"Tch! You seem to be strong, but that would not be the case once I am done with you, Lee Jinhee. This is merely the beginning. I have more fun things in store for you, and if you want things to be less painful, make sure to stay away from Jaehyun. I might be lenient on you then," Youngmi voiced out before turning her back on Jinhee.

Lee Jinhee just kept staring at the ground weakly while clutching on to her stomach. She desperately prayed for the pain to disappear, and at this point, it was difficult for her to breath.

Before leaving, Youngmi turned back to look at Jinhee, and taking some steps towards her, Youngmi made sure to kick Jinhee one last time on her stomach before going away.

After Youngmi had walked away from the scene with her Maids, Areum immediately hurried towards Jinhee, and whilst Areum cried out loudly due to seeing Jinhee in such a state, she kowtowed in front of Jinhee.

"I am sorry; I am really sorry, Miss Lee Jinhee. If it was not for my incompetence, this would not have happened to you. I deserve to be punished; I was unable to protect you," she voiced out.

"Help me up," Jinhee vocalised exhaustedly.

It was difficult for her to talk at this moment, and more than anything, she wanted to go to her bed to rest. It was too painful, and Jinhee found herself close to losing her consciousness. 

The pain was preventing her from falling asleep, and she had no clue whether or not be grateful to it.

°°°

The festival was finally over yesterday, and Jinhee was planning to go over to Taehyun's place tomorrow. Finally, she would be able to escape from Youngmi.

Youngmi's bullying had gotten worse as time passed by, and afraid that Taehyun or Jaehyun will be taking foolish decision once this will be revealed, Jinhee put in her best effort to conceal everything related to these incidents from the two of them.

As the both of them had been busy, she succeeded in it, and she also ordered Areum to remain silent about it. Although Areum was completely against it in the beginning, she managed to convince her later on.

Her body had attained numerous bruises over this period, and currently, she had her wrist sprained. Nevertheless, there was only one more day for her, and after that, she would be moving out of the country. She believed that she would be able to deal with it for just one more day.

But that was where Jinhee was very wrong. 

Today would be the worst day of her life, and the day that Jinhee would personally want to kill herself. It would be that horrible for her.

Opening her eyes, Lee Jinhee found herself being tied to a bed, and she had no clue how that had happened. Struggling against the ropes that bound her to the bed was of no use to her. 

That was when the door to the room opened, and a middle-aged man walked in. A gleeful expression sat on his face whilst he entered through that door.

Thinking of possibility of what could happen in her mind left her scared, and anxiety began to rise within her heart. As he made his steps towards her, he removed his coat from his body.

Lee Jinhee felt bile rise up to her throat, and she yelled, "What are you doing!? Get away from me! Do you know who I am!? I am telling you to move away from me! This is not right! Please spare me!"

Her screams did not make the male afraid, and instead of backing away, he seemed to be much more satisfied with her screams.

Getting up on her bed, he vocalised, "Little girl, don't struggle. I will make this experience more pleasurable for you, and by the end of this, you will find yourself to be happy! You will not regret this! You are really a beauty and look young! I have really starved for a long time, so I will be eating my fill for today!"

"No! No! No! Get away from me! I don't need any of that! Please spare me! I can give you whatever you want! Please not this!" Jinhwe frantically exclaimed. 

Tears continued to fall down her eyes whilst she prayed for someone to come and help her. However, there were no signs of that happening.

"Little girl, don't try to resist. I like obedient girls, and things would be more beneficial for you if you are quiet."

°°°

After that horrible thing had happened, the man had left the room, and Lee Jinhee found herself being disgusted with herself. No matter how much she cried for someone to rescue her, no one came for her.

Her body was currently tainted, and coupled with the wounds made on it, the sight of it was enough to make Lee Jinhee sick. She wanted to throw up at the sight of it.

That is when, her eyes fell on the knife on the table, and closing her eyes, she extended her hand towards it. Holding her wrist against its sharp side, she sharply moved it.

After that event, Lee Jinhee did not think she would be able to look at things around her normally, and maybe it was time for her to end everything. She did not want to live on in such a defiled state.
