Chapter 8 - Torture, Round 2

http://voicesinsync.livejournal.com/28952.html When Sooyoung regained consciousness, she wasn't at her house anymore. Instead, she was in a large, dark room filled with several boxes and railway tracks.
There was a noise behind her, and she turned to see Junho emerging from the shadows.
"I see that you've woken up."
He walked towards her, reaching to cup her face when she cowered away from his hands. In fury, he slapped her face, leaving a red mark where it stung.
"I wanted to keep my promise, but you wouldn't keep yours - you refused to stop dancing! Blame yourself, Choi Sooyoung. And you've been seeing that guy behind my back, right? Don't think I'm blind. I have eyes. I told you he likes you, and you refused to listen to me. You must be punished for betraying me."
Sooyoung merely bit her lip and gave no reply.
This further fuelled his anger, and he grabbed her neck, pulling her up and dragging her onto an old train cart, and tying her into it, before pushing her onto a rundown railway track. It seemed that he had been plotting something, for the track had seemed to be organised into a maze.
"There are three lanes here. Two lanes pass a fire while one doesn't. I'm giving you a chance here. You have to choose a lane. If you don't, there are consequences." His voice snarled.
Sooyoung started crying when he realised what he meant.
"Please oppa, you can hurt me in any way you like, but please don't hurt my legs. Dancing is my life, I can't live without it-" She pleaded in tears.
"I thought I was your life too? If you loved me, you would stop dancing for the sake of me. Now, CHOOSE."
"The... the middle" She whispered.
The cart seemed to spring to life when Junho pressed a button on a controller. The cart started heading towards the middle lane. Like magic, a jet of fire emerged from the bottom of the track, hitting directly where her legs were. Immediately, she screamed in pain as the fire sorched her legs. She finally understood. Junho had lied. He never meant to give her a chance, as there was actually fire emerging from all three lanes.
The fire burned mercilessly and she trashed wildly in the cart, but the ropes were simply tied too tightly. She felt her legs slowly giving way to the heat.
Finally, the fire stopped, as quickly as it came. Sooyoung slumped against the cart, sobbing her heart out. Junho let out a hysterical laugh when he saw her in her state.
"I hope you have learnt your lesson. Now you'll always be by my side. No one will want a dancer who can't dance anymore, or has burnt skin like yours."
Those words pushed her to the limit.
---------------------------------------------
Unknownst to them, Sooyoung had accidently hit against the redial button of her handphone, alerting the latest caller - Kyuhyun.
It was 2AM in the morning, and Kyuhyun woke up, extremely annoyed at the caller. However, upon seeing Sooyoung's name on the caller ID, he had immediately sprung awake.
"Hello?"
There was no heard reply. "Hello?" He tried again tentatively.
"I see that you've woken up."
"I wanted to keep my promise, but you wouldn't keep yours - you refused to stop dancing! Blame yourself, Choi Sooyoung. And you've been seeing that guy behind my back, right? Don't think I'm blind. I have eyes. I told you he likes you, and you refused to listen to me. You must be punished for betraying me."
"There are three lanes here. Two lanes pass a fire while one doesn't. I'm giving you a chance now. You have to choose a lane. If you don't, there are consequences."
Kyuhyun immediately recognised the voice. SOOYOUNG'S IN TROUBLE!!!
His heart felt like it had stopped, and in panic, he dashed to Yoona's room, where she and Siwon were sleeping. He hammered on the door.
"YOONA! SIWON-HYUNG! SOOYOUNG IS IN TROUBLE!"
The engaged couple woke up, incoherent and sleepy. Impatient, Kyuhyun barged into the room and told both of them about what he had heard.
"They're at the Seoul Railway Warehouse Station, I heard something about railway tracks. We need to go there NOW. NOW."
The couple were fully awake now. "THAT BASTARD" Siwon snarled, while Yoona started crying furiously. The three of them immediately rushed out of the house.
-----------------------------------------------
"You think that this will stop me from dancing, Junho? Nothing will ever stop me from dancing NO MATTER WHAT, not even YOU." She spat in disgust, looking at Junho in a new light.
"Who would want to hire a person like YOU to dance? Look at the state you are in now."
"You'll never learn, Junho. You don't have to be pretty or have nice legs to dance. All you need is the passion and determination, and with this, all obstacles are conquered. You may have destroyed my legs, but you'll never destroy my passion and determination for dance."
"Oh really? If that is so, I shall destroy your life."
With that, Junho grabbed a large metal pipe and smashed it against Sooyoung's legs. Sooyoung screamed in pain as she felt her legs collapse against the floor. Blood started trickling down her knee. Junho took out a large bag of salt and started sprinkling it down her wound. The wound blazed in pain, and she screamed even louder, tears spilling down her cheeks as she begged him to stop.
Junho merely laughed at her pleads. "You are such a slut, you know? Dressing so nicely in front of Mr Cho Kyuhyun. Let me see what's underneath."
He leaned forward and kissed her harshly, his hands running through every part of her body. Sooyoung struggled violently, but he was too strong and she was too weak. He was going to stick his hands up his dress-
"STOP THERE YOU BASTARD!"
Before Junho could turn around to see who it was, Kyuhyun had already kicked him hard in the groin, causing him to double up in pain. Siwon and Yoona took over and beat up Junho hard while Kyuhyun rushed to Sooyoung's aid.
Sooyoung legs had turned completely numb - but due to the shock she had of almost being raped, she had gone into a fit. When Kyuhyun took her into her arms, she started pounding his chest - very hard.
"Its me, Sooyoung, ITS ME! KYUHYUN!" No matter how hard she had hit him, he held onto her tightly, tears rolling down his cheeks when he saw the state she was in.
In the daze Sooyoung was in, she had instantly recognised Kyuhyun's voice. Immediately, her fit had stoppped, and in complete exhaustion, she fainted and slumped against his chest, the same time as Siwon who had beat Junho unconscious and tied him up.
"Call the ambulance and police quick! Sooyoung has fainted!" Kyuhyun roared in anger and worry, his eyes never leaving Sooyoung.
---------------------------------------------
The ambulance and police arrived quickly, and Sooyoung was immediately sent into the A&E Unit. Kyuhyun paced outside anxiously, while Yoona and Siwon hugged each other while waiting for the doctor's results.
Soon, Seoul's most famous and well respected doctor, Jessica Jung, who was also Yoona and Sooyoung's good friend, emerged from the room. Kyuhyun immediately ran up to her.
"How is she, Doctor Jung?" He asked impatiently.
"She's okay, but I have bad news. All of you, follow me."
The three followed Jessica to the room, where Sooyoung was sleeping peacefully, her legs in a cast. Kyuhyun's heart broke. He had immediately rushed to her bedside, taking her hands into his.
"I'm sorry" he whispered. "I should have made sure you were safe at home before leaving. I'm so sorry, Sooyoung. Its all my fault."
The other three in the room, watched the exchange in pity and amusement. Yet, Jessica's face turned serious as she said, "Sooyoung's alright, but she needs to sleep now, so we shouldn't disturb her now. However, some of her nerve cells in her legs are damaged. I'm very worried about this."
"You mean... I can't dance... forever?"
