6/Just Around The Corner

It's a Sunday morning. Strolling down by the river side with Senju is one thing you really look up to whenever it's the weekend.

"Can you see your own reflection on the water, love?" Senju asked, crouched down by the side of the running river.

"I only see a beautiful lady by my side." you laughed a little as you replied to her.

She got up and said, "Let's go eat lunch now. I'm starving!"

"Where do you wanna eat? I'll treat you for today." you said.

"Don't come to me when you're short on money! Haha!" she starts to run away from you teasingly.

"Hey, Senju! Wait up!" you shouted then you laughed at her cute little run.

While running, someone pulled you to a corner and blocked your way out.

"Hey! What are you-" you screamed but stopped as you saw the same figure as yesterday.

"Hello. Y/n was it?" the cold voice of the person sent you a hint of trouble coming.

"What are you trying to do? Sanzu, right?" you asked.

"I actually need you again for another role play. Are you up for it?" he responded.

"Can't you find another person other than me? It's that easy to just pull one girl here and there.. for you." you answered.

Sanzu came closer to you and examined your face, holding your chin.

"I know the person you were talking about last night and of course, I know where she is right now." he said, being indirect with what he's trying to say.

"What do you mean?" you said, staying calm as you reach for his arm to push it away from your face.

Sanzu then quickly grabbed that arm of yours and placed it on his chest.

"Do you feel my heartbeat, Y/n? It's beating fast for you! The thought of you being taken away by another gives an ache to my heart." he said with a wide grin.

"A-Are you ok? Let go of my arm please.." you commented.

"Do you not get it? I love you, Y/n L/n." he shouted.

"Where is this coming from?! I really don't get it!" you said, very confused.

"I love the way you acted yesterday night. It showed how brave you are. No other girls were like you when put on the spot!" he explained in excitement.

"I don't think that's love, Sanzu. Now excuse me, I have to be somewhere else." you said.

"Are you even sure that she has safely arrived there?" the man now having a wide smirk on his face spoke.

You felt a sharp sting in your heart as the thought of Senju getting hurt crossed your mind.

"What are you trying to say? Senju's at home, sleeping." you said, keeping your cool.

"You think you can lie to me that easy? And please, don't mention her name in front of me. It's disgusting." he spoke with deadly glares sending at you.

"You don't have the right to say that. Take back what you just described her!" you shouted.

Sanzu showed you his phone and there you stood frozen like a statue. Presented on the screen is Senju tied up to a chair, unconscious.

Analyzing what just happened to her, she was hit on the head as seen through the bruise on her forehead.

"Senju.." you whispered.

"I will let her go if you accept me in your life." he negotiated.

"Tell me where she is. Please, Sanzu.." you begged the man.

"Me or her! Choose!" he shouted at you.

"You are one cruel monster!" you shouted back at him then you started to run away.
