Bai Yunyu sat on the bed in a daze. He didn't know what to do right now. With his phone and wallet confiscated, he couldn't contact anyone, and he wasn't allowed to leave the room. He was basically a prisoner right now.

"I wonder if any of the male leads will realize that I've gone missing. I hope they can save me…." Yunyu said to himself. He knew the first one who would look for him, Long Shen.

Since he was still the cast for Bo Yun in the new drama. He expected Long Shen to search for him when he was absent tomorrow morning. 

A few hours had passed, and Yunyu slowly recovered from the initial shock that he had been trafficked by Han Ye Gege to a musty old man. 

Not because he had a strong mental strength, but because he already expected the worst. He never expected any humane treatment from Han Ye Gege anyway.

Yunyu got up from the bed and walked around the big room, trying to find a source of entertainment, or even better, any means of communication so he could get the hell out. 

But he found nothing in this clean, white room. There wasn't even a television for him to watch a show.

"At least let me watch some Raikantopeni BL series!" Yunyu yelled out frustratedly.

The big bedroom's front window facing Main Street wasn't accessible for him. Steel bars were preventing him from opening it. So he walked to the balcony facing the backyard of this three stories house.

Yunyu was amazed once he saw what the balcony facing the backyard offered to him. 

It was a clear view of the small manmade forest behind the house, and when he looked down to check the backyard, there was a big pond instead of the regular pool.

The pond had a somewhat deep dark water, and there were plenty of lotus flowers floating on it as well.

"Ahh, it's a bit… scary," Yunyu mumbled. Many big houses like this would usually have a big pool, but this house had a dark water pond instead. 

"Well, I guess the lotuses look good, at least."

Yunyu sat on the small chair on the balcony, staring at the empty forest in front of him. He sat in a daze for a long time, lamenting over his fate, the fate that he thought was so ridiculous, he couldn't even laugh at it.

"Ah, Bai Yunyu, don't you see how sad your life is?" Yunyu reminded himself. "Your mother is dead. Your father married another woman and discarded you because you'll be an eyesore for his new perfect family. None of your relatives want to take you."

"You live in a terrible condition and stopped pursuing university… because you don't have money. Well, you said that you want to pursue acting instead, but let's be honest, you're just so broke, and your dad refuses to pay for your tuition."

"Then, you just decided to devote all of your life to the idol you've been madly in love with for your entire high school years. You supported him in any way possible to the point that you couldn't even take care of yourself. All you want to do is to make him the star that everybody loves."

"But now, the same person sold you to a random musty old man, not for money, but because of an unknown spite you had no memories of."

"Now, all you can do is to wait for a rescue, or probably let yourself getting fucked by an old man in his sixties, even though you've promised yourself not to lose your virginity to anyone but Han Ye Gege in this life at least."

Yunyu laughed at his own misfortune. He was truly the discarded son of fate.

"Your fate is so terrible, Yunyu. Why are you still alive anyway? It doesn't make sense that you have to keep being alive in this kind of environment."





Yunyu bit his lower lip, trying hard not to cry so often. "I miss Pupa so much. Where is that floating orange thing? I want to have an adventure again, jumping from one world to another. No matter how painful or difficult it might be, it will be 10 times better than in this world."

Bai Yunyu looked down at the dark pond in the backyard and pondered, 'Will I get a quick and painless death if I jump from this spot?'

He was pondering about that, but his dark thought got cut short when Han Ye Gege suddenly opened the door with Yunyu's phone in his left hand and a plate full of food on his right.

Han Ye put the food on the small table on the balcony and stared at Yunyu, who sat in a daze. He looked down when Han Ye stared at him, which infuriated Han Ye even more. 

"Why do you always do that when you're facing me? Do I look scary to you? Aren't I the idol that you've always been in love with?" Han Ye accused.

"Because you don't see me as a human. I'm afraid that I will offend you…." Yunyu replied. "And if I keep staring at you for a while, my heart starts beating really fast, and I have difficulty breathing, I will get a panic attack. I'm sorry, Gege."

Han Ye clenched his fist. He already told himself that he wouldn't fall for such stupid trickery, "Stop acting pitiful. I know that you're just trying to fish some sympathy!"

"I—I'm sorry…."

Han Ye got even angrier. The more submissive and pitiful Yunyu got, the angrier he got as well.

"Argh, screw that, you got a text from that bastard Long Shen. Go call him and say that you're alright and on vacation to heal yourself. Remember, if you dare to call for help, then I will make sure to fire Deng Jia from her job, and her mother would probably die out quick because of you."

"I will also press charge to Lee Taewoo for beating me. You know that I can ruin his life in just a snap of fingers if I want to, right?"
