Completely taken by surprise, I cried out, only to fall silent when I realized what was happening.

The man leaned against me while pinching my waist hard.

Unlike the last time, the man was acting like this was the first time he was putting his hands on me. His movements were subtle and more timid.

I could even feel him trembling, especially the arm that was wrapped around my waist.

His nails scraped against my skin. I trembled. I was certain that this wasn't the same man from last night.

This man's hands were softer like he'd never been exposed to manual labor before. He even had long nails.

From the photo, I knew that the man from yesterday had very short nails.

Just as I thought of that, the man behind me leaned forward and licked the back of my neck, leaving a warm and wet trail. His tongue lingered on my neck as his breathing got heavier.

The passengers around me were whispering. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but I could easily imagine their disgusted expressions.

I pushed down my terror. What was left of my rational mind told me that something wasn't right.

I was being harassed a second time on two consecutive days, at the same place. What were the chances?

I didn't even like going outside, yet it happened to me anyway. It was too much of a coincidence.

Could it be…

With some doubts, I took out my phone and sent a message to the second mysterious account.

"Can we get off the bus?"

As soon as I sent the message, I heard the sound of a message notification behind me.

The man stopped what he was doing and drew back. He must be checking his phone.

Steeling myself, I sent him another text. "There's not much space in the bus. I know a small alley near the next stop."

The man was clearly hesitating.

Would he follow me off the bus?

As the bus slowed down, my heart fluttered with anxiety.

Would the man get off the bus with me?

Would he suspect foul play, or something other issue…

Taking a deep breath, I waited for the man's reply.

However, I did not get a reply even as the bus stopped at the next station.

My heart plummeted.

Straightening my skirt, I waited for the door to open slowly and got off the bus.

He wasn't coming.

Just as I had that thought, I heard footsteps following behind me.

Not daring to look back, I walked toward the little alleyway that I knew.

My fists were clenched, and my palms were sweating. My heart was pretty much in my throat and pounding wildly.

There were not a lot of people on the street, so I could hear the footsteps clearly.

He was following me at a steady pace.

I didn't dare to hesitate. I didn't want him to suspect that I was trying to run away.

I entered the alleyway. It was dark. The shops in the alleyway were all closed down a long time ago.

The entire alleyway was deserted.

I walked into the alley, but the man stopped just outside the entrance.

I ignored him. Steeling myself, I walked toward the small grove at the end of the alley.

The grove was overgrown with plants and hidden from public view, perfect for couples looking for privacy.

Seeing this, the man stopped doubting me and followed me to the forest.

Licking my lips, I started to get excited.

Shadows flitted around the walls of the alleyway. Some of the shadows were mine.

I turned my head slightly, not to look at the man directly, but just to make sure that the man was following me.

As we neared the grove, his footsteps quickened, like he was impatient.

The dim lighting elongated my shadow.

A hot breeze swept across the alley. I stopped. Despite the breeze, I still felt a chill coming from behind me.

There were shadows flitting around in the grove. I couldn't see what it was, but all the same, I walked into the clump of trees.

Overgrown weeds prickled my ankles, leaving me with burning pain, but I kept my expression nonchalant. I just kept walking further into the grove.

Rustling sounded behind me.

The man had followed me.

I clenched my fists. Before I could turn around, the man hugged me from behind.

Startled, I tried to free myself.

The man spoke beside my ear. "I wasn't going to do anything to you at first. You were the one who seduced me."

I was definitely certain now that this wasn't the same man as yesterday.

He pushed me against the trunk of a tree. The bark was rough and scraped against my skin, leaving patches of blood.

    I frowned as I looked at the young women in front of me. I had seen their photographs before this. They had been reported as missing not too long ago.These people were kidnapping women for human trafficking.All the women who were sold by them would end up as slaves. All it took was a few hundred dollars, and the buyer could do anything to them.Then, eventually, these women would be sold to old men in rural places to be their wives.This was the fate of the young ladies who were kidnapped.Just then, the metal grates creaked loudly. The door opened slowly, and the man from before appeared at the door. He was beaming as he pointed at the women in the room. "These are all our best products. You can take your pick. I'll even give you a discount," he said to a tall man beside him.The tall man looked around.The young women curled up together in a corner, not daring to move. They were all sobbing.The tall man rubbed his chin and then pointed at the youngest woman.The man went up and k

    How did he know this wasn't the exit?Who was he?Was he trying to help me?But he was a bastard who was participating in human trafficking. Why would he…Question after question floated around in my mind. I lowered my head. I was too exhausted to struggle, much less come up with answers. Then, I collapsed onto the ground and lost consciousness.I didn't know how much time had passed when I woke up. Blearily, I heard people talking beside me.Someone slapped me lightly on the face. "Wake up. Hey, hey. Wake up now."I opened my mouth, and then my eyes. I found myself lying on hard, concrete ground.Above me was a grayish sky. I sat up abruptly and put a hand to my head.I had been drugged and passed out because of it."You're finally awake."I jumped at the voice and turned to look at the speaker. The man who had bought me was sitting beside me.He clicked his tongue impatiently. His spectacles, which were now broken, were still perched on his nose.Why did he save me?B

    How many people had this syndicate kidnapped?I clenched my fists at the thought.Charles feigned hesitation. Then, he took out a bundle of cash and placed it in the man's hand.The man beamed. He grabbed Charles and was just about to pull him out of the basement when Charles gave me a look. He shook off the man's hand and pointed at me. "I'm bringing her along, though."…Had Charles hit his head and lost his mind somehow?The syndicate already knew that I was a cop. Wasn't he worried that he would raise suspicions by asking for me?I opened my mouth and just barely stopped myself from cursing him out.The man with the slanted eyes looked at me. His smile froze on his face. He gave me a calculative look as if trying to figure out how I managed to captivate Charles so much. "Don't you want another one, brother? You've already done this one before…"Before he could finish, Charles pulled the stack of cash from the man's pocket.A couple of notes fell out of the stack and float

    Charles must have really lost his mind.Through the gap at the bottom of the sack, I could see the man walking closer to us until his mud-caked shoes appeared on the ground in front of me.My hands were completely free now.We were done for.Terrified, I grabbed the rope, trying to look like I was still tied up. However, Charles just stepped up beside me and said impatiently, "Where are the women you promised me?

    Late at night, on the bus, a hand slowly crept under my skirt as a man's warm breath brushed against my ear.As I was pressed against the glass door, I couldn't see what the man looked like. That only made my other senses more sensitive. All I could feel was his knee pressing against my thigh."This is the first step of your addiction, Miss."…It was the height of summer. The air was suffocatingly humid, even at night, with the clammy feeling that typically comes right after rain.I was completely drenched when I got onto the bus.The smell of petrichor mixed with body odor filled the entire bus. I found a spot near the door and stood there.Every so often, the cold rain splattered on my face.I took in a sharp breath and looked down at my wet clothes.
