《A degree of Fancy》 Desperately The sound of laughter gently echoed through the house.
"You''re it," I screamed brushing my hand down brothers shoulder.
My words made him run at full speed towards a long-haired figure
"You''re it mommy," yelled Jimin happily.
The figure swiftly turned around leaving us in awe. Her beautiful long her delicately swayed to the rhythm of the wind.
"Come her you little angels," echoed the figures vioce making us run in different directions.
***
"Isn''t pretty," I asked the figure as we interwided our hands. "Is it prettier than me? " asked the figure. "No mommy is the most beautiful person I know," I answered with a wide smile plasttered on my tiny face
The atmosphere quickly became solemn.
"Seonyoung, I love you," said the figure as her hand soon became loose.
I eyed the figure as she gave me passionate smile. Exactly when I was about to talk a swarm of men invaded the garden. I felt a pair of strong arms lift me from the ground making me realize the situation.
"Mommy," I screamed kicking holding out my hands.
She had all the power of the world but was unable to do anything. When I looked at her for the last time her golden eyes were filled with crystal droplets. *** I opened my eyes despite the numb feeling trailing down my body
"Mom-Mom-my," I stated notwithstanding the feeling of sorrow and isolation that started to fill me from within. "Young madam," urgently said a lady dressed in black. "How are you feeling," continued the lady while she placed a tray in front of me. "Where is she," I asked looking the lady in the eyes.
The lady quickly looked away as she sensed the sadness and grief coming from my eyes.
"I don''t known madam, but one thing is sure master asked me to serve you this food," continued the lady with smile.
I glared at the tray then decided to eat. Next, I finished the food.
"Thank you young madam," said the lady as she left.
I laid down covering my head with the blanket trying to forget the events that occurred but nothing happened. They shone brighter than the sun could ever. If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.
"Seonyoung, my dear are you okay? " echoed a voice.
I turned around not uttering a response. My actions made the woman come even closer.
"Seonyoung , how are we supposed to help you if we don''t knwon whats wrong?" added stepmother. "Or maybe its your mother. I heard the new sweetheart must be hard to have your mother gone like that," she continued. "I mean what can I say she deservered it," she proceeded a mocking tone. "What do you-," I replied but was cut off by the presence of another figure entering the room.
There was only one person with this aura. My father. He took tiny steps taking the time to observe my room. H gently sat down on my bed then looked at me. I abruptly turned around to look at him
"Dad," I said looking him in the eyes.
Crystal clear droplets of tears danced around the rim of my eyes.
"Seonyoung," he said stroking my head. "Dad, what happened?" I asked innocently referring back the incident from earlier.
Father took a look at me then breathed.
"Do you remember what she said?" He asked looking me in the eyes
I nod making him smile. He got up and left without announcing another word. I looked at the door confused by my father''s action. This was one of the most emotional talks I ever had with him. I got up from my bed walking towards the window. I took a long hard look at the scenery then smiled.
"Seonyoung,"screamed two tinny vioces making em turn around "What are you guys doing her? " I asked. "We wanted to see you," they answered with the most innocent smile I have ever seen. "Let''s go eat breakfast," I said intertwining our hands together. Skiping down the hall .
*7 Years Later*
"Young madam,"screamed a vioce waking me up. "You''re going to be late for you first day of higschool,"continude the vioice making me me groan.
It''s been 7 years since my mother has left and 7 years ago I also figure out I was the goddess. Plus I started auditing this special school for "Gifted" children
"Young Madam," once again cried the vioce making me sit up "I"m comming," I answered sleep still drowing my eyes
I headed downstairs wearing my school uniform. A pleated skirt, dress shirt, and black blazer.
"Look who decided to wake up," mocked a feinine voice.
After not hearing a response the woman stood up and started walking in my direction.
"How does it feel," she whispered in my ears. "Great," I asnwered with smile looking her in the eyes.
* Flash Back * After school, I quickly headed back home to get ready for my date. I grabbed all his favorite snacks put them on his favorite tv show. The last thing I needed was him. Ring-Ring echoed my cellphone making me jump spot. [Sorry Seonyoung but I''m going to be late today] read the message. I looked at my phone then exhaled. It wasn''t the first time he left me hanging and I didn''t expect it to be the last. I sat back down with the hope of him coming until I subconsciously fell asleep. I woke up and headed downstairs to up away all the food that I had brought. When I heard an unusual noise. Despite the warnings, I let my curiosity take over me following the noise. It led directly to my step-sister''s room, Yu-Jun. Her door was slightly opened allowing me to partially see what was happening when something caught my attention. For a slip second, my heart seemed to have stopped. It was like the world was spinning like the pain of getting struck by the glass. I closed my eyes not allowing found to escape running back to the room at full speed. Exam I ran back to my room. I slammed my back against the wall, letting my body gently glide to the floor.
"Why her of all the people," I murmured to me when an unusual shadow caught my eye.
I glared at the shadow, as I quickly grabbed my dagger.
"Who are you," I quietly asked making the shadow turn around. "Me," asked the shadow in a threathing and dominant voice.
His aura with the addition of its tone made me gulp. I took a step back not realizing that there was nowhere to go
"Don''t worry. I wont hurt you," continued the shadow taking a step foward.
I manifested all the courage I had then charged. The main thing that I learned at H. A was never to have the first move. I quickly ran circling the shadow.
"Sweetie pie, I just want to talk to you," added the shadow making me stop.
The shadow now had a very familiar tone that made me freeze.
"Chung-Cha," I replied.
*End of Flash Back* I looked at Yu-Jun one last time then left.
"Your not going to eat," asked Jimin comming down the stairs. "I''m not hungry. Plus tell the driver I''m walking," I answered grabbing my bag. "Your going back there?" asked Jimin. "Where is you problem? Remember your only older than me by 2 minutes," I said walking when my step were abruptly stopped by my toughts "Make sure Seon-jung eats," I added walking out.
I seized my bike and began my voyage. My first stop now was the flower shop. My mother managed a flower shop. It was one of my beloved places to visit. I entered the shop with a bright smile remembering all the happy times that were spent here.
"Seonyoung," screamed a pithed voice making me laugh "Ha-Joonnie," I replied to a girl wearing the same outfit as me "Why didn''t you call me?" asked Ha-Joon with a sarcastice face.
I gave the figure a sly giggle then put on one of the aprons.
"Come help me with something," said Ha-Joon making me giver her all of my attention. "What?" I asked grabbing a basket of flowersStolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. "Special order," answered Ha-Joon throwing me a piece of paper.
After a few, I finally finished the order. The last thing I needed was to head to school. I looked at the clock then sighed.
"One more hour," I whispered.
My thoughts were suddenly stopped by the appearance of a handsome man entering the building. He had golden eyes that seemed to be reflecting as bright as the sun but still a somber, intense, and yet domineering aura still embraced him.
"Hello, welcome to Sunnie''s what can I do for you," I asked trying my best to not fall in spell. "Kim Taemin," said the figure.
His voice sounded heavenly. It seemed as if the gods had blessed him with the most beautiful gifts of things world. I quickly grabbed the bouquet of flowers that was nicely wrapped. Fancily handing it to him. The man grabbed the bouquet without uttering another word.
"Have a good," I screamed watching him leave. "What was that," asked Ha-Joon taking oof her appron. "What are you talking," I replied ingoring her qestion "Anyway lets go," screamed Ha-Joon running out of the store "Yah wait for me," I screamed running after her.
*** I looked at Ha-Joon who was already looking at me.
"Break a leg," we utter at the same time making us giggle.
The main reason why I visited the flower shop was because of the Exam. Today was the A.S.T short for Assassin Admission Test. The A.S.T is basically a test taken by the 1% of the population that is considered "Gifted". The "Gifted" people are humans that were born with quirks or like most like to say it superpowers. The A.S.T was administered for people like us who want to do "good deeds" for humanity. I''m trying out not because I wanted to simply because I was obliged to. It''s a ritual in our family to pass the test.
"Lets go ," screamed Ha-Joon making everyone neighboring glare at us.
We entered the building, heading to the main room. They indicated name tags then we went to the lockers of change and headed to the gym. We quickly sat down waiting for everything to start. I awkwardly looked around the room when my eyes landed on someone familiar who was also eyeing me. I quickly got up from my seat running towards the person.
"What are you going here," I asked with an annoyed tone "Why should I tell you," replied the woman.
I scoffed and gave her a cold look.
"Alright I didn''t come because I wanted to. The council asked me to come," replied the person with a shaky
I eyed her one last time.
"You can leave Chung-Cha," I said leaving. "But," replied the vioce making her turn around "Are you question me," I asked looking her eyes. "No," quickly answered Chung-Cha leaving the room
I head back to my seat quickly seating down as if nothing happened.
"What was that? Do you know that woman," asked Ha-Joon. "Accquentance," I replied. "Look Jimin is here too," stated Ha-Joon pointing to a black hairs boy seating down in a crowd of girls.
I looked at him then looked away not saying anything. Our attention was diverted to the sound of clicking heels. I woman formally dressed entered the room followed by other people who had the same aura as her.
"Today is a very special day for everyone here. The day that over 300 people have trained for, begged for, prayed, and died for... As matter of fact I don''t want to bore youg guys with the details. Let A.S.T begin," said the lady.
Before I knew it I was standing in a room full of different people. I looked in front of me to find a lady.
"The test is pretty simple. If you manage to eliminate twenty people today you get in," said the lady. "I mean thats the minimum," added the lady.
I looked around trying to find Ha-Joon but she was nowhere to be seen. Just as I was about to get looking for her the gates opened letting in bright rays of light making me cover my face. Fight In front of me was a large statue of an angel. I walked towards the statue when someone started running towards me. I turned around facing the person then titled my head. I formed a gun with a hand pointing directly at the person''s head.
"Bang," I whispered as I watched the person body abruptly fall to the ground.
I glared at the dead body then started running. I twirled my finger in the air summoning a golden katana. I stopped then held up the katana in the air letting the sun reflect its rays off it. I looked in the direction of the sunlight then began my tracks. I quickly ran towards a mass crowd then SLASH. I swiftly passed not letting my presence be known. I turned around to find a pill of bodies laying on the ground. I touched my face looking at my fingers to find them covered in blood. I bowed then continued my journey. I ran heading back to the gate. I thew my sword in the air making it turn into millions of red, black, and gold butterflies.
"Where are you going," asked the lady that was supervising us.
I turned around to look at her. My face left her in awe.
"I finished," I answered walking through the gate. "Okay," slowly answerd the supervisor as she threw me a towel.
I bowed as an action of thankfulness.
"have a seat," suggested the supervisor as she called someone. "Your have prettty long hair," added the suppervisor pointing to my hair making me faintly smile. "Got it from my mom," I replied getting up form my seat making the lady take a step back.
I looked at her to see her nervously giggle.
"Come with me," she said as another lady entered the room to replace.
We walked until we approached a set of heavily supervised doors.
"Go in," she said making me enter the room.
I walked in to find my father, stepmother accompanied by three other people. I scoffed then headed back to the door.
"What do you think you doing," asked father. "What do you think," I answered leaving the room.
I exited the room to find a swarm of guards standing in front of me. I snapped my finger making them all disappear. I walked back to the locker to change and leave. I grabbed my phone to find it bombed with text messages from Ha-Joon warning me about the current incident. I grabbed my back and blazer and left. Just as I was about to leave I was stopped by the last person I wanted to see. This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
"Yah Seonyoung," screamed Yu-Jun followed my a group of 5 other people
I looked at her then turned back around to leave when someone else came.
"Seonyoung , shouldn''t you listen to your older siblings," added Sung-Ho "Shouldn''t you have dignity?" I replied looking at him "Why are you getting mad. I mean I didn''t want to ruin you innonce after all," added Sung-Ho grabbing Yu-juns waist.
I walked up to him looking him deep in the eyes. I laughed then suddenly stopped. SMACK
"What was that for," screamed as he touched his cheeck. "You too should watch out. I don''t want my older sister to start sleeping with older man to earn money," I mockingly siad walking out of the building.
I grabbed my bike and went to a nearby coffee to read my beloved book. I quietly sat down and started reading my book when someone approached me. I looked up to see a man dressed in a black suit holding a card. I quickly stood up.
"Hello, how an I help you," I asked the man "You work at Sunnie''s flowershop right?'' asked the man making me nod with a smile. "Take a seat first," I said pointing to the chair in front of me amkingg the man taking a seat. "I want you to decorarete a venue for me," said the man making me shocked.
It was the first time in a really long time that we ever got a request to decorate for a venue.
"I''m just an employee sir. I think you should head to the shop directly," I humbly said. "I want you to do it,"quickly replied the man making me look up. "Where is it going to be," I hesitantly asked.
"I knew you would say that," replied the man. We spent over 30 minutes discussing how everything was going for me.
"I hope our collaboration with go smoothly ," siad the man as we shook hands. "Excuse me sir can I know you name," I asked making him smile "My name is Kim Chung-he," stated the man "Nice to meet you Mr. kim, " I said waving him goodbye
I quickly grabbed my things and exited the cafe heading to the flower shop to prepare. I ran as fast as I could when I stopped. Right in front of me was my father''s car. I eyed the car for a couple of minutes then went inside the shop.
"Seonyoung," said a cold voice making me halt. "Yes father," I answered not bothering to turn around
I quickly felt a presence standing behind me but I didn''t let myself tremble.
"Did you really smack your sister," He asked "I guess its such as big issue for you to come all the way here," I stated continuing my steps.
I felt a pair of hands quickly turn me around then SMACK. I lightly touched my cheek then gawked at him.
"I guess I deserved that," I answered turning back around "You act just like your mother, ingorant and over confident," said father making me turn around. "So what does that give you the right to starve me, smack me, push me to edge," I screamed.
His eyes slowly widened, they were filled with anger and hatred.
"Whats wrong is it shooking," I screamed yet again
SMACK
"One more time," I yelled tears falling down my face.
Father looked at me one last time then left. I quickly grabbed my belonging scattered on the floor.
"Seonyoung," echoed a vioce making me turn around. "Ha-Joon what did I do wrong? Is it to much to ask for her back," I asked anger, and slef hatred feeling me .
I looked at Ha-Joon and the other employees who were taking a step backward from me as if they were frightened.
"You too," I said running out of the buidling.
I ran and ran until I stopped at a park. I quietly sat down observing the moonlight when a shadow passed right by me. The person had the same aura as the earlier from the shop. I watched his shadow pass letting my gaze turn back to the moon.
"From today one I don''t care," I whispered to myself "No more personal feelings," I added glaring the moon.
Someone gently sat down next to me making me turn my head slowly
"Who are you," I asked as the figure handing me a a popsicle
Strangers bed The figure turned around leaving me in wonder. He was the man from earlier.
"You looked lonely over here," said Taemin "Thank you," I said opening the popscicle.
After a few minutes of silence, I turned around to face him.
"I wonder is it to much to ask for someone to come back," I said taking a bite.
Taemin turned around to look at me.
"I wonder too," said Taemin also taking a bite. "I wonder if the world rom the inside is as different from the inside," added Taemin making me turn my head around "You don''t seem broken you seem misunderstood," I said looking at him.
We spent an ample amount of time talking. It felt as If talking to him was the same as talking to Ha-Joon. I could tell him anything and anything.
"It was nice meeting you," I said placing my head on his shoulder as I drifted off into deep sleep.
*** I opened my eyes to find myself in an unfamiliar room. I sat up quickly observing the room.
"Madam," said a voice entering the room making me hop. "Who are you," I asked remembering what happened yesterday. "Here are some clothes sent by the master," continued the lady as she placed the clothes nearby and left.
I watched the lady exit remembering that she didn''t answer my question. I grabbed the clothes and headed to the bathroom to shower. I put on the white dress and quickly headed downstairs.
"How did you sleep," asked familair vioce making me turn around.
I stood there staring at his handsomeness. His silky black hair perfectly matched the beauty of his eyes. Everything about him was perfect.
"When your done staring come have breakfast," said Taemin making me snap out of my thoughts.
I slowly walked to the table and sat down. I helped myself to a hand full of toast avocado toast, fruits, and a drink of fruit juice. I quickly gulped down the food not bothering to think about anything else. It''s been a long time since I ate anything this good. Yesterday the only thing I digested was coffee and a popsicle.
"Is it that good?" asked Taemin as he hand me a napkin. You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. "Hm," I utter making him smile. "After your done tell me. I''m going to take you back home," said Taemin. "Can you take me to the flower shop," I nervousily asked lookim him. "Sure," he asnwered without questioning me.
I finished my food and we headed to the flower shop. I exited his car.
"If you need anything you can call me," he said making mr turn around and bow "Thank you for everything," I said bidding him farewell.
I entered the shop and got to work. Today we didn''t have school because it was the day of the A.S.A results. I grabbed my notebook and sat down. I started sketching out how I wanted to get the venue and applied to live at the dorms.
"Seonyoung," said a vioce making me scoff. "Look who decided to show up,"I said "I was bussy," replied the ioce siiting down next to me "You seem to be bussy too," added the person "Yah Chung-Cha I want to speak with the council," I said turnin around. "But you need to make an arrangement," replied Chung-Cha " You know me I don''t care," I stated clapping me hands.
I closed my eyes and opened them to find myself in a castle room. I sat down at the table that was located precisely in the middle of the room. I banged the table twice making a group of masked people enters the room.
"Its been a long time did you guys miss me,"I said smiling. "Why are you here," said the chief as she sat down. "You already know," I said. "If you here because of her an yes he is, but if its him I don''t know," answered the head chief making me smile "I''m not talking about mother. I already knew she was here. Anyway thank you," I said yet again bannging the tablle making them dissappear.
I clapped making my appearance in my room at the house. I seized my laptop to look at the results of the exam. [You have been admitted into A.U] summarized the letter making me smile. At the same time, I also received an email from the dormitory stating that I could start moving in today. I grabbed my suitcase and started packing. After I finished I headed downstairs to grab the rest of my belongings.
"Where are you going," asked someone makng me role my eyes. "Why is it you bussiness," I answered in a rather cold voice. "Your right how is my bussiness" siaid the voice making e continued my steps "But remember were ever you go hes going to find you," continued the vioce "Brother don''t worry you should worry about graduating," I said leaving the house.
I grabbed the first taxi that I saw and headed to my destination. A got to my location and started unpacking. RING I picked up my phone to see who was calling me but immediately threw it back on the bed. After A few hours, I finally finished. I played down on the bed then looked at the calendar. It was April 20th and my birthday was 4 months away. I sighed at having to wait for what seemed to be an eternity. I got up and headed to the cafeteria in search of something to eat. I grabbed a sandwich with some water and headed back to my room. I finished my small meal and drifted into a deep sleep. *Next Day* I woke up to the sound of my alarm. I showered, put on my uniform, and had breakfast. I headed to my classroom which was already filled with a bunch of students. I quickly sat down at a faraway desk. RING RING RING echoed the bell and before I knew it almost everyone in the room was gone leaving only me and 3 other girls. Encounters
"Hello students," siad the woman as she entered the classroom "My name is Ms.Kim. Nice to meet you," she continued as she sat down.
We stood as sing or respect
"Good morning teacher," we said in unnision. "How about we do an introduction," suggested the teacher. "You," she said pointing to a brown haired girl with white eyes. "Would you like to start," said the teacher as the girl stood up.
The girl stylishly walked up the front of the class.
"Hello my name is Chung-he. I''m 18," she said walking back to her seat.
After Chung-He was a silver-haired woman with purple hair the went up.
"Hello my name is Dae. I am 19," she said also walking back to her sit.
Now it was my turn. I was never scared of public speaking matter of face I love it but why did I feel pressure? I quickly walked upfront.
"Hello my name is Seonyoung. Iam 15," I said bowing as I was the youngest in the room.
I walked back to my seat as fast as I could. And so class began. *Ring - Ring - Ring* I quickly jumped up from my seat as a reaction to the sudden noise. I looked around to see that everyone was staring at me.
"What are we doing," I asked looking around "Where getting ready for lunch," replied Dae "Ah,"I said leaving the room.
I walked out of heading over to the cafeteria. I grabbed my food and sat down quietly eating to see two shadows walk over to me. I looked up the see Dae and Chung-He.
"Hello," they said making me smile. "Hello what are you guys doing her," I asked giving them a warm smile. "We saw you were lonely so we decided to keep you comapny," said Dae looking at me with a smile "Thank you," I quietly answered finishing my food.
It felt as if pairs of eyes were staring at me. I looked up find Dae and Chung-he staring at me.
"How," asked Dae. The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings. "Your only 15. Yah are you really 15," spkea Dae making me stunned. "Is thre something wrong," I asked looking at them. "Do you know I have been training for? I spent a decade," yelled Chung-he staring at me.
As we continued our conversation I felt something else. A weird familiar aura filled our table. I looked to the left to Ha-Joon.
"I am not hungry anymore see you guys in class," I said looking at the girls as I stood. "Yah Seonyoung are you going to keep on ingoring me like that," screamed Ha-Joon making me turn.
I glared at her then yanked my hand out of her grip. I grabbed my tray walking out of the room. I headed to the gym. I sat there hitting some punching bag as a form of relaxation when the door opened. My head instantly turned around revealing the last person I expected to see.
"What-What are you doing here," I stuttered taking oof my gloves. "I should be asking you the same question," he replied making me slightly laugh. "Has anyone told you that you look cute while you laugh," he added making me blush.
I quickly turned around trying to hide my emotions. What was happening? Why now of all times?
"Cat got you tongue," he continued taking a step foward.
I turned back around facing him.
"Any way since you here how about we go have a dinner after you classes end," added making me smile. "Your really luck," I said ingoring you words. "I would normally not go out with strangers but I will let it slide for today," I stated. "Text me," he said walking out the room
As soon as he left I exhaled. I didn''t even notice that I was even holding my breath. I grasped my chest then ran out of the room. *A few minutes later* I opened the door of the classroom gently revealing my mother''s classmates and the teacher. I bowed heading back to my seat.
"Were now going to continued the introduction," said the teacher as she clapped her hand making a group of girls enter the room. "As you all know passing the A.S.A as an elite means more than just having thi beautiful pass. This also gives you an opporinity to became one of us," said Ms.Kim. "You get to become E.As," added an other voice making everyone in the room bow.
I looked up at a figure standing in front of me.
"Hello Seonyoung," stated the figure making me stand up
I pulled my earbuds out of my ears looking at the figure. An older woman of what seemed to be fine taste was standing in front of me. Her long white almost silver -ish outlined her ash eyes making me stare. The figure took a moment to eye me then smiled making me smile back.
"Pardon her behavor headmistress," yelled Ms.Kim.
Ms.Kim''s words made me look up at the figure standing in front of me then scoff.
"Ms.Lee," I said with a smile. "Its been a long time. Don''t you think," I continued with pure sarcasm surrounding me.
I giggled for a second then promptly shifted my expression.
"Are you crazy," mouthed Dae. "Maybe," I replied bowing to the headmistress. "It was nice meeting you again Ms.Lee," continued.
The headmistress observed me for a second from the summit to the base.
"It was nice to meet you again Seonyoung. How is your mother?" asked the headmistress
Her statement quickly made the climate crisp.
"It was nice meeting you Ms.Lee," I added yet again sitting back down.
The headmistress leaned down to my ear then whispered something in my ear making me yet again stand.
"What is wrong with everyone today," I state turning my head around to face her. "Do you really think I care about her. It was all in the past now. The present is the present the past is the past," I mumured in the head mistresses ear. "Why don''t you worry about your going to keep you life on float. The last thing I want to see you in my realm," I said.
Another day among the others I felt her staring into my soul that made me want to provoke her even more. I looked at her helpless soul then sat back down.
"Why don''t you continue what you came here for headmistress," I said pointing to the group of girls staring at me in shook. "Why don''t we,"shaekyl said the headmistress walking to the front of the classroom.
The sound of her heels slowly began slower and slower until they swiftly stopped.
"Here is the paper registratoin to become a E.A,," said the head mistress as someone passed out the paper.
I looked at the paper and without thinking twice I signed.
"I finshed," I said handing the paper to one of the girls stnading behind her.
I grabbed my belongings and left the class. The last words I heard today from her were "Put her in the Elite group immediately." I headed back to the dormitory to get ready for my time out with Taemin. I put on something simple. A skirt accompanied with a knitted sweater and some boots. I grabbed my bag and headed to the restaurant. *30 minutes later* I found myself standing in front of a luxurious restaurant named "Chateau Blanc" I hesitantly entered the place walking to the table that was named "Lee Seonyoung and Kim Taemin" I sat down waiting for my date to enter. I looked around trying my best to familiarise myself when my eyes landed on a tall handsome man. I blinked bringing myself back to reality noticing that the figure sat down right in front of me.
"Did I make you wait?" asked Taemin making me blink brigging me back to reality. "N-No... not at all" I answered straighing my sit.
I felt his gaze analyzing me front top to bottom. Somehow I liked it. I liked the way his gaze made me feel cornered.
"Anyway how was you''re day?" he asked pouring me s drink
I grabbed the glass of water quickly gulping the water.
"Great and you?" I said trying my best to contnued the conversation "Honestly speaking I didn''t except someone like you would take the A.S.A," he said making me turn my head.
How did he know?
"Yeah me too,"I answered just as the food came.
I thanked the waitress and grabbed my plate.
"Bon appetit," I said taking abit out of the food. "Bon appetit," he repliedThis tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
After our dinner, we had a great number of delicacies. It has been a long time since I felt this happy, that I felt someone that I barely knew make me happy. When our happy time finished I left with the widest smile on earth. For some reason, I wanted to do this again. I plopped myself down on my bed staring at the ceiling recalling all the events from earlier when someone knocked at my door.
"Today was such great day," i murmured as I drifted into a deep sleep.
*Next day* I was stirred up by the tone of yelling. I grabbed my hoodie my eyes still half-closed while opening the door. I opened the door the see the last thing I ever excepted. I quietly observed the scene as I slightly leaned on the wall crossing my arms.
"Wow what ruckus," I said clapping my hands bring the attention on me. "What are yo doing here," asked someone making me smile "Yu-Jun. This should be the lat thing should worried about right now," I said making her stand up "Seonyoung. If you dare say a word,"she siad making me come closer. "Or what," I said making her scoff "I know you wouldn''t dare," said Yu-Jun "How much do you want to bet," I answered making me take a step back
Se quickly straightened her outfit clapped.
"Your life," she answered making me scoff.
Her statement made me twist my body as someone who seemed to have fallen from the sky was headed towards me.
"Yu-Jun. Really,"I said grabbing the persons hair.
I pulled his hair making him slightly whimper. I snapped my fingers making a knife appear. I knelt down to the person''s level and abruptly yanked his hair. I glided the knife near his neck. I could feel his body shiver. His little whimpers made me feel some type of sympathy.
"You really are crazy," said Yu-Jun "Who knows you should come see personally," I shot back pushing the person "You should go since I''m in a good mode," I said looking at the person as I heade back to my room.
I closed the door jumping on my bed. I laid there for a second then decided to look at my alarm clock.
"Really that bitch wasted my time," I whispered standing up getting ready for school.
I got dressed and took a quick last look at myself. I put on my headphones and began my day. I was walking when I was stopped by a flyer. I looked at the flyer then smirked.
"That was quick," I said gliding my hand down the paper in search of my name.
After my quick observation, I headed to my class. During the walk, everyone seemed to be staring at me. Some were even whispering. I walked into my class heading to my desk. I sat down just as the teacher entered.
"As you all know the the school review your application only one of you got accepted as an official member," said the teacher.
Everyone''s attention quickly turned to her even mine.
"Out off all the 50 students," said Dae "50 students?" I stated "What you didn''t know?" siad Chung-he as she moved her seat closer to mine "There are 10 other classrooms filled with students that also passed the exam," stated Dae as she also came closer to me "Each class room has a letter and a name that represents the level of power that each students has," continued Dae. "Really," I said shooked. "What letter are we?" I asked "A1," answered Ms.Kim makng us look at her
We stated quit for a few seconds when everything clicked. When I was looking at the flyer I saw everyone''s name except mine. If I remember correctly there were a total of 40 if there really are 50 students were are the other 10.
" So you''re telling me that the information on the flyer were wrong," asked Chung-he as she slumped down in her seat. "Who knows," asnwered Ms.Kim "I might be telling a lie, "added Ms.Kim just as an unfamilair sound echoed the classroom.
My fault We all stood up quickly exiting the classroom as we formed a line.
"Get ready," siad Ms.Kim
We silently walked to the auditorium. The room was filled with students wearing the same uniforms. Each student stood out more than the other. We sat down in our designated sits waiting for the show to commence. Before I even knew it had already begun.
"Hello students," echoed a vioce.
I looked up to find the head Mistress standing on the podium. I subconsciously turned around my head to find the exit doors heavily guarded.
"Welcome to our annual assembly," she continued making me shift in my seat. "As you all know the results of the A.S.A hav already been annouced," she added "I''m sure you have all worked hard to be here but as you all know only the choosen ones can survive,"she ended as a group of 2 girls entered from each side of the poduim.
Each girl gave off a sort of powerful and deadly aura.
"Welcome the G.E''s" stated the headmistress making us all clap and before we knew it she was lready out of our sight.
The room stayed silent for a second until one of the girls came upfront.
"Let''c cut to the chase," she said. "My name is Kim Aeri. I''m the temporary leader," she said bowing
After her little introductions, the room suddenly became dark
"Why today of all days," I whispered standing up
I clapped making a pair of golden glasses appear on my face. I looked in the direction of the stage and quickly ran.
"Is this how you say welcome here," I screamed as I glided past Aeri grabbing her weapong out of her hands. "You little bitch ," she screamed. The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. "Didn''t your parents teach you to be respecful to someone you just met for the first time," I yelled running towards the exit.
I threw the weapon in the air taking the time to remove the glasses.
"Get out the way," I screamed at the people guarding the door.
I grabbed the weapon and directly threw it a little opening at the door. I pushed the knife deeper into the opening making the doors open. The room was lit up for a second then went back to being dark as I closed the doors behind me. I ran around the corner and pressed m body against the wall. When the coast was clear I walked back into the auditorium and acted as if nothing happened. I entered the room to find the lights back and every single student sleep. I took the time to explore the room only to find that all the teachers had left the room. So was this all planned? Did they do this to scare me? I looked around for a little more when the door opened. I quickly ran towards an empty seat and sat down with my head leaning against the other chair.
"Did you find her," asked a familair vioce "We need to fin her before they get here," added the vioce as she past right by me
It felt as everything second that was passing now was going even slower than the last. The only person that would cause such a ruckus to fin me was the headmistress and the only person she would do that is my father.
"Seonyoung I know you here come out,"said the headmistress.
I picked up my head and looked at her. I clapped my hands making them all look at me. Their guns were all pointing at me.
"What will you do if someone told you were going to die?" I said crossing my legs. "And that person said in order to save your soul you have to pay with a sacrfice. To be short give me the life of someone that you care about," I said a sinister look plastered on my face. "If you don''t you soul will slowly decompose eating away your body and flesh until one day your heart will stop pumping. Plus every single devil you have awakened will eat away your family along with there dreams,"I added. "Doesn''t the story seem familiar," I said walking towards the stage myhands held out in front of me
The headmistress walked towards me. SMACK I licked the corner of my lips then grabbed her hair pulling it. My actions made her shriek. SMACK The headmistress quickly rubbed her cheeks.
"My job isn''t to be someone for you to blame,"I said pushing her "Email me the day that I start," I said as one of the G.Es handcuffed me.
I took one last look at the headmistress only to see tears falling from her face.
"What can I say," I added making the headnmistress run after me.
I looked at her my pupils crimson red. Her body instantly froze along with the G.Es.
"I don''t care what you say about me just don''t say it in front of me. Okay" I said walking out the room.
A new place I walked out took a deep breath then headed back inside the room.
"What are you doing here," asked the headmistress. "Lets make a deal," I said walking towards her
Her head instantly jolted up to look at me.
"I can let you see your daughter but in return let me have anything I want," I stated
My sudden news made her body break into a cold sweat.
"What do you want," asked the headmistress "I don''t know you tell me?" I answer. "I can''t give you the school, you know its not mine," she replied
I chuckled at her statement.
"I thought you knew me better headmistress," I said "I don''t this I want to the new leader of the G.Es," I added looking at Ae-ri.
Ae-ri''s facial expression quickly changed.
"Who do you think you are?" screamed Ae-ri making the other girls look at me in debelief.
I completely ignored her words and looked at the headmistress.
"You know were to find me," I said with a big smile walking out of the room.
I exited the room and headed towards the cafeteria. I seated myself at one of the tables and waited for time to pass. After a couple of minutes, a group of kids entered the place. I looked at them then quickly went back to my occupations.
"Are you Jimin''s sister," said a sudden voice. "What can I do for you," I asked gently putting down my phone.
The figure stayed quiet for a second taking the time to eye me from top to bottom.
"You look cuter than the photos," he answered makiing me awkwardly smile.
The man gently glided his finger down my cheek.
"I can give you more than what Sung-Ho gave you," he said ""Give me a chance. I can take you to paradise," he added.
I glared at him for a few then chuckled
"What can you give me," I replied
My choice of words made him laugh
"Anything you can dream of,"he replied "Can you give me your heart,"I stated making him unadroitly laugh.
He glared at me noticing that I was serious.
"How bad did he hurt you?" he asked when I felt a wet substance stroll down my face.If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.
I stand up and turned around to find a blonde-headed girl looking at me with her arms crossed. She had a smudged look on her face.
"What are you diong talking to my boyfriend," asked the girl "And you Kim Dong-sun," screamed the girl
I turned my head to look at the man.
"Kim Dong-Sun. Next time make sure you don''t cheat on your girlfriend," I said grabbing the girls hairs.
I grabbed her hair dragging her to the ground.
"Are you crazy," she screamed. "I''ll tell you sister," she screamed. "Oh I''m scared," I replied loosing my grip "Go before I chang my mind," I whispered running my hands thourgh my hair.
The girl took a moment to look at me then shot a glare at her boyfriend before running out of the room.
"Was it fun," whispered a vioce.
I turned around ignoring the voice. Someone suddenly pulled my collar making me take a step backward.
"Is this how you talk to your older siblings," continued "Is this how you treat you younger sblings ," I shot back as the person pushed me making me fall to the ground. "So this is where you''re hidding? Do you know how many times I got yelled at," he asked grabbing my hair. "Let go," I murmured making his grip tighten. "Or what. I always wanted to see why you were considereed so special," he whispered in my ear.
I scoffed at his statement. I grabbed his wrist digging my nails into his sink. My eyes were shaded crimson red. His were blue. He pulled my hair making me push my head backward and lightly whimper.
"Does it hurt,"he asked not hearing me utter a word.
I touched his back letting my hand gently brush down them patted his back. Without notice, he let go of my hand letting all his body weight fall on me. I pushed him away getting up. I turn around to look at him then exited the room. The last thing wanted to do was go out so I headed over to the dorms to let my mind cool. I threw my bag on the ground and took off my blazer jumping on my bed. I laid down for a second rethinking every decision I took today. Suddenly a memory of my mother appeared as radiant as the moon. I gently sighed then went to sleep trying to forget. *** Awakened by the sunshine. I brushed my hair aside waking up. I opened the curtain letting the light enlighten my room. I smiled at the beauty of the day. I checked my phone trying to figure out what I should do when I noticed a message. I quickly read the message then threw my phone away heading over to the bathroom to get ready. I put on a white shirt topped with a sweater vest, black crown vintage loafers, and a skirt. I grabbed my back and hurried downstairs. I reached the main hall only to find it empty. I headed outside to see a line of luxurious black cars entourages with bodyguards.
"Get in," echoed a voice making em jolt my head to look.
In one of the cars was seated Ae-Ri. I walked to the car taking a seat.
"What took you so long," asked Ae-ri in a rahter playful tone.
I look at her confused? Wasn''t she just mad at me a couple of days ago?
"A girls got do what she has to do," I replied putting my phone in my back
At the same time, Ae-RI took a moment to glare at my outfit.
"Model," she said. "Model what," I asked making her shake her head. "Anyway, where are you we going that you had to wake me up this early in the morning," I asked with a pouty expression plastered on my face "Your not the only person that had to cut there beauty sleep for this," she answered handing me a cup of iced coffee. "Thank you," I answered taking a sip "Anywho, who are you? I looked in the date base and saw nothing but your name, location of birth, and birthdate," said Ae-ri aking em chuckle. "That should be enough information for any G.E of B.E . Plus everything has a time of occurrence," I sated giving her a smile "Your really mysterious but thats whats cool about you," replied Ae-ri as she stared at me trying to read my expression. "If you really want to understand me you need to understand my actions, not my expression," I stated as the car came to a halt.
The door flew open revealing a tall building. I got out of the car then sighed. Astonishment I looked at the building then beamed getting out of the car. I stood there glaring a the building in astonishment. I turned about to look at Ae-ri who was already gazing at me.
"What''s so special about this building that your smiling," Teased Ae-ri making me gently vibrate my head kicking me out of my thought. "Something that you wouldn''t understand, "I replied as she started walking making me quickly rush to pursue.
She opened the big doors as it showed a fancily decorated hall with individuals rushing all over the place. On the roof was handing a golden chandelier.
"Follow me," said Ae-ri in a deep tone making me instantly turn my head.
I followed her not emitting another word. During our walk, I spent time marveling at the scenery of the halls and the unique story that surrounded each and every little detail when we suddenly came to a halt. I looked in upfront to find a door that was well guarded by women wearing swat outfits. I looked at Ae-ri who just opened the door revealing a glass table in the middle of a bright white room. On each side of the table was empty. Ae-ri looked at me giving a gesture signaling that I should sit down. without any questioning, I sat down. Ae-ri quickly went to her seat making me follow her movements. We sat there in complete silence when someone entered the room. It was the headmistress. I looked at her then went back to fidgeting with my fingers. She placed a document on the table then left handing a not to Ae-ri. Without hesitating, Ae-ri opened the letter then smiled taking her time to read the document.
"Get rolling," stated Ae-ri everyone in the room stand up and hurry out of the room.
I stood there wondering what that meant.
"Follow me," said Ae-ri as she grabbed my arm practically running out of the room.
After a few seconds, she let go of my arm then smiled. In front of her was a set of yet another door. She slowly opened the door showing a hall with a rectangle table. We entered the room walking towards the table. I looked around trying to find a seat to find one had been labeled for me. I sat down without uttering another word. Silence slowly filled the room. I tried my best to keep myself occupied by admiring the decor but nothing seemed to be working. Finally, I gave in and started snoozing. The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. I subconsciously heard the sound of moving chairs but didn''t overthink the situation thinking that maybe Ae-ri was trying to pass time too.
"Is she the new recruit," utter a voice making me tighten my face.
I slowly opened my eyes trying to protect them from the blinding brightness of the room. In front of me was a mature woman with silver-ish hair. I took a moment to look at her when my attention was brought to the headmistress. She had a look of despair in her eyes which reminded me of the reason why I was here. "Shall we start," said the headmistress as she looked around the room waiting for an opposing view.
"As you all know today we''re having a new recruit specifically a new leader," uttered the headmistress making everyone in the room scoff. "After a few moments of consideration we finally came to a close," she added turning the atmosphere in the room cold and dry. "Now for the moment you ave been waiting for your new leader Lee Seonyoung," continued the Headmistress.
Everyone in the room sarcastically clapped as a sign of respect. After the show, everyone got and left except two people.
"I''ll have Ae-ri show around the building," said the headmistress as she handed me a piece of paper.
I grabbed her hand and gently turned her around then smiled making her slowly close her eyes. I gently set her down in one of the chairs and exited the room.
"What did you do," asked Ae-ri making me smile "Returning a promise," I answered with a bright smiler making her look at me in wonder. "Did anyone ever tell you that you are beautiful," I murmured making me smirk? "A lot of people tell you that you just added yourself to the list," I replied making me playful hit me. "So where are we going first," I asked making her smirk. "The best place of them all," she said yet again grabbing my hand and pulling me out of the room.
We ran until we reached what seemed to be a bridge to another world. I carefully followed Ae-ri only to be treated by a swarm of shirtless men running in a group wearing camo pants.
"What are you staring at," asked Ae-ri nudging my arm.
I wiped my mouth quickly removing the drool. I turned around to find that Ae-ri was gone.
"Ae-ri, Ae-ri," I said turned around trying to locate her. "I guess she''s gone," I murmured clapping my hand making a bottle of milk appear in my hands.
I took a sip and looked around the place trying to find the next thing that I should visit. My eyes suddenly landed on a tent in the middle. I clutched my bag and walked towards the tent. I got in to find a group of well-armed girls surrounding a table. Letting curiosity take over I walked over to see what they were doing.
"Put one snipper on top and the other on the bottom," I started making them look at me. "This is because if one dies the other survives. Plus you have a 2x the chance of getting the target," I continued walking out of the room.
I rushed out of the tent eyeing my next target. I looked around in hopes of finding Ae-ri when she suddenly appeared with a box in her hands. First meeting
"Where were you," I asked looking at the box in her hands. "I went to finish your registration," answered Ae-ri her head slightly tilted. "Now that I think you guys are kind of like," murmured Ae-ri. "Who," I asked making her shake her head in confusion "What do you mean. Isn''t Yu-jun your sister?" she asked as I started walking making her trail behind. "Half-sister," I added making her even more intrigued. "Mother or father," asked Ae-ri "Father," I answered making her quiet. I turned around looked at her then smiled "So your father...," whispered Ae-ri "Yeah that rights The number one hero,
" I answered sarcasm painting my tone. Hearing my answer Ae-ri gave off an awkward chuckle then smiled before not uttering another word. Seeing her reaction I scoffed.
"Where are going," I asked making Ae-ri quickly rush to the front.
We exited the building heading over in Ae-ris car. we drove about 3 minutes from the school to what seemed to be a neighborhood.
"Welcome to your elite neighbor," everyone that takes part in activities that involve ELITES basically leaves her.
We entered one of the houses. The inside was beautiful. It looked like a little cottage by the sea. The house gave you an open view of the rest of the city.
"This is your new house," stated Ae-ri making me smile.
She handed me the box from earlier.
"This is your whole entire life package to survive here," continued Ae-ri as she started leaving. "Plus be ready in 2 hours. I"m coming to pick you up," added Ae-ri leaving.
I looked at her smiling. I opened the box to find a lanyard, a credit card, and a letter. I looked at the letter opening it to find a list of all the rules and the names of all the Elite. I threw the paper walking over to the bedroom. It was just like my room back home. It made me sick. I clapped my hands suddenly making me appear in my dorm room. I grabbed a few boxes from the closet and started packing my stuff. After about an hour I head back to my new home and started setting things up. I laid down the boxes. I rummaged through the boxes trying to find something to wear for earlier. I gripped a pair of black shorts, knee-length boots, a white shirt, and a brown coat. Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. I put on a little tin of red lip gloss and was ready. I glared at the clock 30 minutes left. HONK HONK I opened the door to see Ae-ri cars parked in the driveway. I closed the door rushing to enter the car.
"Good evening," she said giving me a faint smile through the mirror. "Hello," I answered looking at her then at the person in the passenger seat.
The person shrugged not saying a word. I looked at Ae-ri who just sighed. The rest of the ride was pretty much quiet with conversations exiting from here and there. We arrived at our destination. I quickly exited the car practically running inside the building. Behind me a could hear Ae-Ri''s low chuckles. We headed towards what seemed to be an et of classrooms. I enjoyed the quiet walk when someone swiftly passed by me. I felt as if my heart stopped for a second. The only thing I saw was a pair of familiar glimmering yet dull eyes. I grip my chest then turned around to take a look at the figure but the only thing I could see was his back. Followed by a dozen men dressed in black suits. His silky black hair gently swayed to the rhythm of his footstep.
"Seonyoung," whispered an unfamiliar voice dragging me out of my fantasy land. "Y-Yeah," I answered looking at where the voice came from. It was the boy that was with us during the car ride.
He looked at me then smiled before turning around. I followed him to what seemed to be a meeting room. Softly opening the door letting the light from the outside light up the darkroom. I entered the room changing m expression to match the mood of the room so did Ae-ri. I walked over to a vacant seat making myself comfortable waiting for the whole thing to start. A few minutes a group of other girls entered the room. Each shooting me a dirty, judgemental , yet scared look. Wanting to leave an expression i smiled bak at them leaving them with a slightly non-visible shocked face. The head mistress entered the room not even a second after my encounter with the group of girls.
"The meeting may start," said a silvered hair girl walking behind the headmistress.
We got up and bowed. Instead of bowing I stood there staring at the headmistress. She looked at me with an almost thankful face. SHe diverted her attention from me back to the reason why we were here.
"As I stated before the this meeting today we are welcoming a new member," said the headmistress.
"Seonyoung please introduce yourself," continued the headmistress. I cracked my neck then began.
"Hello my name is Lee seonyoung. I''m currently 15. I have an older sister and a pair of younger siblings. Please treat me well," I said slightly bowing. " Yah Yu-jun really has a sister,"murmured someone. "What a whore," commented another "How was it having your sister steal your boyfriend," asked the silvered hair girl as I sat down crossing my legs. "Honestly speaking it kind of hurt," I replied making them sort of chocked.
Most people wouldn''t have admitted this.
"But after a long time of crying and thinking. I remember that a piece of trash always ends up in the garbage," I added slyly smiling "I want you meet the main 4 members who your going to be handing out with the most ," said teh headmistress changing th subject. "Meet Song bora. Leader of the team basically an all rounder, " stated the headmistress pointing the silvered haired girl. "This is Hwa-young," she continued pointed to a purple eyes girl with black hair. "That one is Hye," pointed the headmistress. " The last one is Young- soo," finished the headmistress looking at the boy from earlier.
I stood up bowing as a sign of respect. I quickly earned a bunch of sarcastic laughs and scoffs. Punishment I sat back down unbothered by their mocking behavior. Matter of fact is kind of made me happy.
"Take the rest of the time to explore the school and meet the rest of the team," added the headmistress before suddenly leaving once again.
I looked around at the quiet room waiting for someone to say a word.
"Hey new girl you should really watch out," suddenly said Hye brushing her brown bangs out of her right showing her red eyes. "What are you worried about? Don''t worry I can manage," I answered looking her in the eyes. "You really are something," added Song bora chuckling. "What else could you except the Lee family," continued Young-soo making everyone in the room leave from his sudden hand gestures.
I stood up leaving when someone suddenly stopped me.
"Where are you going," asked Haw-young gently pushing me back to my seat. "It would be a waste for you to leave since you started this meeting. So seat your pretty ass back down," stated Song bora pulling grabbed a paper from the binder that she was holding. "Here you mission looking it over. Be ready by tomorrow morning," said Haw-young handing me the paper. "Okay," I answered grabbing the paper before leaving.
I exited the room to find Ae-ri leaning on the wall as if she was waiting for me.
"Finally," she said grabbing my arm dragging me before I could reply.
We stopped at the main hall where a group of people was standing. We drifted through the crowd finding ourselves at the center. Right in front of my eyes was Jimin. He was standing next to Seon-Jung. In front of them were stand the father, stepmother, and Yu-jun. I observed everything when someone suddenly utter my ane making the crowd go silent. Everyone''s attention turned to me. Everything was so fast that I couldn''t even process what happened and in the next second. A hard slap came landing down my cheeks turning them bright red.
My head abruptly turned to the left. I knew who it was. To me, it felt as if it was a hello. "Honey," whispered a female voice making them lift my head. Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators!
I brushed my long black hair from my face giving me a clearer look at the figure standing in front of me.
"How are your father," I asked while licking the corner of my lips checking for any blood.
Before I knew it another hard slap came landing down my cheeks this time from Yu-jun. AS she went for a second one I firmly grabbed her hand making her pull her hand out of my grip. She grabbed her phone showing a picture. I smiled then sighed.
"What a nosy world," I started taking a closer look at the picture.
It was a picture of her practically naked. It showed her kissing a random guy.
"What is this," she asked making me look at the ground. "You think that I did that," I replied every one making her blood boil. "Yah Seonyoung I know you hate me but you didn''t have to be that harsh," she screamed pushing me. "If you want Sung-ho you can have him back," she continued as a pair of big arms patted her shoulders. "Grab her," said a deep voice as men dressed in black escorted me out of the building.
Tell me why is it that something that brings you delight can also bring abhorrence, dismay, and sadness. I closed my eyes resorting to my faith. I was awakened by whisperings coming from near. I found myself in a dark room with only a little widow as a source of light.
"Madam," murmured a soft voice entering the room.
It was one of the maids. She was followed by another maid who was holding candles and a plate of food. They placed the items before exiting the room. I took a look at the food not taking a bite. I pushed myself to the far corner of the room curling up. Letting the tears slowly exit my eyes. I quietly cried myself to sleep. I woke up yet a gain to a bunch of whispers but this time they were loud and clear.
"I feel so sorry for the young madam. Her mother died when she was just a child and her father remarried into such an evil family," said one of the maids with a sad tone accompanying her words "I fell sad for her. Anyway, the master is going to be coming at any time," said the other maid opening the door.
She looked at the tray with was untouched. The maid walked over to me crouching down. She took a second to look at me. My eyes were swollen. This was the first time I had ever cried when I was in here. Most of the time I would kick and yell to get them to open the door but this time none of that happened. The maid subconsciously caressed my hair making my eyes slightly twitch.
"madam," she whispered waking me up handing me a glass of water. "Drink this," she said helping me drink the water.
After she finished she left the room. I curled up again staring at the wall when the door flew opened revealing a group of men dressed in black They dragged me out of the room bringing me to another one. They strapped me down to a bench. Silently waiting for their boss to come. When he finally entered closed my eyes. knowing what was going to happen. Most of my punishments for misbehaving have usually been starvation for a couple of days. This was the farthest father had gone. I grabbed a paddle smacking me without warning. I slightly moaned in pain closing my eyes even tighter. ***
"One hundred and forty-nine," stated someone. "One hundred and fifty," he continued before a loud clang echoed through the room.
Tears were slowly falling from my eyes. I was bleeding.
"Make sure not to give her any food," he added leaving the room.
Family dinner I gently shifted due to an acquainted voice. I opened my eyes glimpsing around to see a physician. She gave me a mild smile.
"How are you handling young madam," said the doctor with an immense smile.
I glanced at her not emitting a word.
"Here have one of these in the afternoon and another one in the morning," demanded the doctor standing up to depart. "Madam you really have to be cautious. Ever since you were a child your body has been very sensitive. If it weren''t for your ...," before she could finish an undesirable individual entered the room. "You can leave doctor Song," said the figure.
The doctor quickly bowed giving me a miserable look.
"How are you," resumed the figure as she walked closer and closer to me. "I hope the punishment wasn''t too hard," she persisted not hearing my response.
She placed herself on my bed before mandating everyone in the room to leave. She looked at me before severely grabbing my hair thrusting my head closer. She took a deep look in her eyes before releasing her grasp letting my head strike the wall. She was shocked. She that her present actions would have made me shriek and wail but this time I wasn''t opposing.
"Maids," she screamed making the appointed maids enter. "Have her ready for lunch in an hour," she continued before standing up.
I curled myself in a ball before once again closing my eyes hoping for joy. ***
"Seonyoung," murmured a soothing voice as somebody gently bobbed. "Seonyoung you have to come back," continued the person making me open my eyes.
All around me were shadows moaning and groaning for help.
"Help us Seonyoung," continued the voice as the figures came running towards me. "NOOO," I yelled standing up finding myself in my original environment.
I heavily breathed knowing what it all meant. Sweat dripping down my face. Everything was still.
"Madam," said a series of maids entering the room all holding boxes. "Let''s get you ready," they continued helping me get up.
***This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. I glared at myself in the mirror. My fingertips gently skimmed my face. I titled my head before standing up and leaving the room. I was wearing a white dress with black shoes. I was escorted downstairs. I sat down quietly waiting for everyone to come. Suddenly loud voices and footsteps started filling the room. I stood up greeting everyone in the room.
"Let us go," said father making me follow behind.
We exited the house before entering our assigned cars. I sat down before looking out the window. Enjoying the scenery in front of me. We finally parked at a fancy restaurant. I exited the car waiting for everyone to get out. We entered the building, where we were guided from 1069. A VIP suite. We entered the room to find a group of people already sitting. I stood there stunned but the face in front of me. It was Sung-ho and the rest of his family. Did they do this to embarrass me? I waited for everyone to sit down then I took my seat. That was the worst decision I could make. I was the seat of Sung-Ho''s brother. Sang-hoon.
" It''s so nice to have the family back together like this," said Mrs.Kim Sung-ho''s mother. "Is it," I murmured before giving her a faint smile. "Now that everyone is here we should start talking business. More precisely Yu-jun and Sung-ho''s marriage," suddenly said father made my eyes widen.
But I wasn''t that was shocked Yu-jun and Sung-ho were too.
"Now that the rumors of Yu-jun'' s private life are out. We need to start cooling them down," continued father. "But daddy," said Yu-jun before she was cut off by her mother. "Yu-jun everything we are doing is for your own good," said the stepmother. "Enough of the serious talk how about we enjoy our food," stated Mr.Kim changing the conversation.
We stayed there until 9 pm talking about nothing and everything. When the adults finally declared that it was time to go. Just as I was about to stand up and go I was stopped by Sang-hoon.
"Can we talk," he said grabbing my wrist tightly.
I couldn''t even answer when he just grabbed my arm exiting the room before pushing me into a random stall. In the bathroom. He pushed me against the wall pushing himself on me. he held my hands over my head making sure I could budge. He started kissing. I turned my head making him back off.
"Yah Seonyoung, don''t you understand me," stated Sang-hoon as one of his hands traveled around my body before he harshly ripped my dress''s shoulder.
I felt disgusted and humiliated. He started biting my neck. I screamed kicked and yelled but nothing happened. He ripped my dress practically exposing most of my body. Tears were flowing down my face. RING RING RING Sang his phone making him loosen his grip and exit the stall. My body gently glided down the wall of the stall before it reached the ground. I stood up exiting the stall. I stabbed his leg with my heel before hitting his leg with the fire extinguisher. He loudly groaned in pain. I took this opportunity to leave the room. I looked around looking for the exit. I couldn''t think t only thing that came to my mind was running. I ran in a random direction until I finally exited the building. I continued running until I bumped into a random person
"Sorry," I whispered before looking behind me to see a swarm of bodyguards following me.
I looked at the person who I bumped into then started running again. When SCREECHHHHHH. I looked to the right to see a car. Out of that car came a familiar man. He took a glance at me before picking me up and inputting me into the car.
"What do you want," I yelled making him look at "Are you okay," asked the person his voice fading with each word he spoke.
cuddles and fears
"who-who..," were the only words I remember speaking.
I woke up surrounded by a warm and soft item. I subconsciously cuddled closer to the thing falling even deeper into its embrace.
"Is it warm," asked a familiar voice making me gently open my eyes.
The sunlight brightly hit my face making me skint my eyes. I looked at the figure in front of me in shock.
"What are you doing here," I asked gently removing myself from his embrace. "I should be the one asking questions," he replied getting up.
I took a few seconds to look at him. His dark black hair perfectly outlined his eyes giving him an even more handsome look. The sunlight perfectly reflected his eyes making them glimmer.
"When you''re done staring tell me," he added making me shake my head gently. "Are you done," he asked making me gently nod my head.
Hearing my response he exited the room not saying another thing. I took a moment to examine my environment when my eyes landed on my clothes. I wasn''t wearing the clothes from yesterday instead I was wearing a baggy black shirt accompanied by a pair of gray shorts. Seeing this my attention was diverted from the beauty and luxury of the room to all the things that could have happened night. I smacked myself knocking the thought out of my mind.
"Your only 15 snap out of it," I murmured standing up.
When something caught my eyes. It was a digital clock. On the top right corner, it displayed Fri, November 29. Today is my birthday. I gently scoffed before exiting the room. I took a moment to explore the house. Everything looked luxurious. it was a house that I hope to own in my dreams. It had a dark-themed hallway filled with arts workers of painters that you could only dream to meet in real life. In addition, the hallway was filled with expensive pottery. Right at the end of the hall was a piano overlooking a floor-to-ceiling window. It gave you the perfect view of the garden. I froze when some softly whispered in my ear.
"Are you hungry," whispered Taemin leaving me stunned?
His voice sounded deep and serious, yet it had a soft tone to it.
"Yeah," I answered not even hearing myself. "Come," he added as he interviewed his hand in mine.
I stood there redder than a tomato. If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it. He brought me to the dining table which was humongous. It was filled with different types of different foods that I enjoyed. I sat down making myself comfortable. I looked at the food in amazement. I ate everything that was on the table without any exceptions. I looked over at Taemin to find him staring at me.
"Aren''t you going to eat," I asked gulping down my juice. "Watching you eat just made me full," he answered giving me a warm smile. "Plus you should eat more since it''s your birthday," he added making me stop. "How did you know," I asked continuing to eat my food. "There are so many things about you that know but it''s better that I don''t tell you," said Taemin before standing.
I finished my food and headed back upstairs to get ready to leave. I entered the room from earlier and a blazer, a white shirt, slacks, a pair of heels, and a bag. I grabbed the clothes and headed to the bathroom. Quickly took my shower and got dressed. I headed back downstairs to see Taemin there too.
"Taemin-ah thank you for what you have done for me," giving him a bunny smile. "I promise I''m going to pay you back," I replied running out of the house
I quickly found myself coming back inside.
"Taemin-ah can you please drop me off somewhere," I asked smiling.
He chuckled at my question while I scratch the back of my head.
"Let''s go," he said opening a door that lead to another room. I was amazed.
It was a garage. It was filled with all sorts of luxurious cars. Ranging from sports cars to coupes. We entered a car and before I knew it was cruising on the highway.
"Can you send me back to my father''s house," I asked making him hum?
During the car ride, I couldn''t help but stare at him. I trying o figure out every little thing about him. How he could own all those things. How old was he? Where was he from? The car finally came to a halt driving me out of my thoughts. He parked near a little alley making sure that no one would see me getting out of his car.
"I promise to repay you," I said giving him another bunny smile. I ran out of the alley walking over to my mother''s flower shop.
I quit working thereafter the whole entire incident that happened there and after I became a G.E. I entered the shop. I got a bouquet of pink, blue, white roses, and yellow roses. They were my mother''s favorite. I headed over to the register. Just as I was getting ready to pay I remembered that I didn''t bring my belongings. I opened the bag that I got from Taeming to find it filled with cash and a card with a note attached to it. I grabbed the bill handing it to the cashier who held my hand. Then looked me in the eyes.
"Seonyoung you have to come back," said the cashier.
She had the same voice as the lady in my dream.
"Save me. Save us," added the cashier making me rip my hand out of her grip.
I grabbed the flower bouquet rushing out of the store. I crouched down taking a few minutes to catch my breath. I looked at the store then called a cab to drop me off at the cemetery. I looked around talking over to a tomb that was entitled [Lee Ae-cha 1985-2022] I stared at to tomb before putting down the flowers. I knelt down putting my bad on the ground.
"Mom, why do I keep on seeing things that I shouldn''t be seeing," I asked looking at the ground "What a stupid question you can''t even talk," I murmured to myself closing my eyes. "Today is my birthday. I was hoping to come to see you earlier but I didn''t have the occasion to see," I said tears falling down from my face. "I still wonder why I talk to a gravestone when I can meet you in person," I stated standing up.
An intriguing man I stood up weakly remembering all the moments that were shared. I tightly clutched my back as I walked over to the main road. Calling the cab over I sat down looking out the window.
"Please me to Teoki Mal," I stated as I entered the car.
I looked at the window counting every tree that was passed. It felt as if life was going on slow-mo. Before I could realize I was already at the mall. I opened the bag tightly closing my eyes with regret before pulling out a dollar bill.
"Thank you for the ride," I stated before opening the door.
I stepped out greeted by the cooling spring breeze. My hair fluttered in the wind. I looked at the building before sighing. I walked inside quickly walking to specific places. I abruptly stopped and turned around. I gently smiled before entering the restaurant. It was a bakery.
"Seonyoung," said a voice making me smile. "Grandma, "I said excitedly
In front of me was a middle-aged lady with black hair. With every move, she performed humbleness and elegance followed. She put down the plates before rushing to greet me. She gave me a warm hug making me smile.
"It''s been a while how is everything is at home," she asked making me slightly frown.
I looked away from her captivating sight before sitting down on none of the chairs. I sat down placing my bag next to me.
"Just like you left it 8-years ago," I replied making her sigh.
She stood up walking over to the counter grabbing a cake that was on the display. When she turned around I brightly light cake was facing me.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" plastered on top.
I looked at her surprised along with the brightest smile outlining my lips and before I knew it tears started falling. Grandma stood there shocked. This was the first time I cried in front of her like this. She looked at me with a slight look at pity yet happiness. "You have to eat this cake with all heart, here," replied grandma grabbing a spoon full placing it in m mouth. I sat down quietly observing the people walking as I degusted my cake. My quiet moment was cut off by a sudden warmth on my shoulders. I subconsciously turned around seeing Tae-min. I stood up shooked by his sudden yet wanted appearance. If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
"What are you doing," I asked looking at him with a confused expression on my face. "I decided to cut off work and come hand out with you," He replied sitting down next to grab a bit of cake. "What are you wearing," I asked with a teasing smile plastered on my face. "Are you a celebrity or something," I continued taking off his hat. "Do you know how expensive my time is?" he replied seriously. "I bet it''s expensive," I mocking murmured sitting back down making him scoff. "Is it good," I asked looking at Tae-min whose face was concealed with icing.
Subconsciously my hand slowly moved towards his face whipping the corner of his lips. The sudden actions made it seem as if time had frozen. I stood there staring deeply into his eyes. The moment was suddenly interrupted by the loud sound of footsteps and voices urging people to move. Quickly removing his gaze. Tae-min quickly got up ready to sprint.
"Where are you doing," I asked making him grab my hand pulling me out of the store.
One part of me wanted to yank my hand out of his grip but the other wanted to stay and run him until I couldn''t. I looked at him dazed by his figure. But before I knew it our ride came to a stop. We entered the elevator right before it closed. We stationed ourselves in one of the corners of the elevator. I looked down to the floor realizing that I was holding his hand. Was I blushing? Feeling my aura Taemin gently removed his hand leaving mine lonely once again. Maybe this was just infatuation after all that was the main reason why I ended up with Sung-ho. I picked up my head trying to forget anything that was crossing my mind. As soon as the elevator stopped I felt him once again intertwine our hands. Rushing out of the elevator I could only hear "Down there" muffled by the sound of people whispering. Who was this man standing in front of me? Who was he to make me blush? Many questions filled my head when we came to a sudden halt.
"Master please stop," begged a group of men dressed in black suits.
There seemed to be over 20 people looking for this seemingly normal person. Plus why was he called young "Master".
"I don''t want to," he replied making them all lazy sigh and fall to the ground. "Already tired," teasingly asked Taemin as we suddenly found ourselves running again.
The more I heard about him the more intrigued I was. Without questioning I followed him letting my mind once again flooded with thoughts. We suddenly stopped at what seemed to be a bus stop.
"Where are we going," I asked making him look at me. "I don''t want to spoil your birthday surprise," he replied just as the bus arrive.
We entered the bus sitting in the far back. I looked out the window when I felt something in my ear. I touched my ear feeling an earbud. Unconsciously letting the song lullaby me to sleep. I was woken by the sound of soft whispering in my ear. I opened my eyes to see Taemin. I gently pushed him making him slam his back on the chair. H gently rubbed his head before removing running his hand through his glistening hair. I sat there mesmerized that I didn''t even notice him move.
"Seonyoung," he said before gently exhaling.
I turned around looking at him. He held out his hand. I lifted my head wondering whether I should trust him or not. My hand tightly gripped my chest before once again falling for their temptation. We exited the bus finding ourselves in what seemed to be some sort of heaven. It was a rose garden, each row was filled with different colors of roses.
"It''s so pretty," I stated as I gently caressed the petals of a rose.
"Taemin...," I said but before I could finish a smile was plastered on my face. I walked towards him before sitting down next to him as I placed my head on his shoulder following him into a deep slumber. Her blonde hair Awakened by my alarm clock. I tightly clutched my pillow wishing this dream could last forever. Subconsciously smiling I was wakened by s gentle poke on my cheek. Slightly opened my eyes.
"Young Madam," worriedly asked a voice making me sit up. "How are you feeling," continued the voice.
I looked around to find blurry scenery displayed upon me. I sudden pain started feeling me. I felt as if I was being stuck by a thousand knives. Unable to contain my suffering I yelped.
"MADAM MADAM," faded a voice as I felt my body thud back on the bed.
After the severe pain, I opened my eyes finding myself in a grove. In front of me was a lady wearing a white dress. She seemed t be holding a sort of box. She looked at me before suddenly sprinting. Without waiting I sprung into action following her. As she reached the end the sight of water suddenly become clearer.
"Where are you going?" I asked. "Don''t go it''s a dead-end...," just as I finished the lady jumped into the water without even thinking.
I reached the end before kneeling down. I looked at the water seemed to have been untouched. The water looked as still as a mountain. My sight suddenly landed on myself. My long, silky black hair covered my face. I pushed away from the strands of hair before taking a long hard look at myself.
"Reflections can be deceiving," stated the lady caressing my hair. "You look just like her when she first arrived. Young, beautiful, ambitious, and naive," continued the lady as I turned around to see her face.
She sounded like the lady from my nightmare. "I hope I didn''t scare you too much the last time we met," she asked sitting down."It''s not like I had a chose I was the only way I could talk to you," she continued. "Who are you, "I whispered making the lady slightly caress my cheek.
"I remember the first time I had meant you. You looked just like an angel," said the lady ignoring my question. "How are your brother and your sister?" continued the lady. "Okay, I guess," I replied hesitantly.
We sat there in a moment of silence when a beam of light appeared right in front of me. The beam changed into a herd of golden butterflies.
"Aren''t they pretty? Every person assigned with protecting the gates of heaven and hell," she said holding out her hand as a butterfly gently landed on it.
"I bet you have many questions running through your mind currently but with time to come you will find your answers," finished the lady just as the heard of butterflies disappeared. Gently grasping my hand she placed a box before once again caressing my cheek. The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
"Goodbye my queen," she stated before disappearing into golden dust. "Wait! Don''t go yet!" being the only words to exit my mouth. "Wait for me," I softly exclaimed letting my voice crack. Diverting my sight to the box i opened it. Inside was a key.
I grabbed the key making the scenery fade to what seemed to be a hall. In front of me stood a door painted with a mural. Unlocking the door it revealed a throne room. In the middle sat a crown. Subconsciously attracted by the beauty of the jewel. I walked towards it. I felt as if I was possessed. I grabbed the crown sitting it on my head.
"Look Chung-cha I finally made it," I murmured as a crowd of people dressed in white and red entered. "Welcome your highness," exclaimed the group making me turn around. In a row, the group of people bowed down before once again exclaiming "Welcome back your highness." "Your highness," highly spoke a voice followed by another group of people. "Welcome home," she softly finished as she herself bowed making me take a step backward.
Where do they talk about me? Why were they saying, your highness? Feeling a pair of arms harshly shake my shoulders I felt my body awakened as if it had just been drowned.
"SEONYOUNG," screamed . "Where I''m I ?" I asked dizzily getting up from my bed. "Where did the lady go?"I asked desperately fighting my headache. "I have to find her and ask her who those people were," I continued before feeling my body hit the ground.
****
"What''s the problem doctors," murmured someone in a cold voice. "Well it seems like she collapsed from laceration," continued the doctor. "Make sure to observe her from time to time? If her condition worsens feel free to call us immediately," added the doctor as he exited the room. "Yah Seonyoung you can''t even take care of yourself when I''m not here," stated the voice as it got closer.
Faintly opening my eyes I was greeted by the sight of Chung-Cha. I faintly smiled before grasping my hand.
"Where were you?" I asked "Look at this brat finally treating me like her senior," she teased as I tried to sit up. "What are you doing the doctor said to rest," practically yelled Chung-Cha making me cover my ear with m other hand. "You know me hard as steel," I replied making her chuckle.
After a few minutes of joking around, I could feel Chung-cha tensing up with every second that passed.
"You met didn''t you," finally asked Chung-Cha making me look away. "Yeah, we met, "I simply replied. "She said she met mother," I continued. "Yah Seonyoung what your problem you know where she is why don''t you go find her," asked Chung-cha in a heavy tone. "Maybe because I''m scared of her actually rejecting me," I replied before getting up the bad making y way towards the window. "Isn''t the weather pretty," I asked Chung-cha making her one again chuckle "I remember that you once hated the rain because of how cold and mudy it was," teased Chung-cha making me elbow her. "Sometimes you end up having a change of heart," I replied just as someone entered the room making me scoff.
It was Yu-Jun followed by Jimin and Seong-jun. Seeing the sight of them I turned around to once again face the window.
"I see you''re not dead," stated Yu-jun as she took a seat. "Why should I be there still a lot of things I need to see," I said. "Like maybe watch you die," I continued before heading towards the door.
Just as I was about to leave someone impatiently grabbed my arm. I looked up seeing Jimin.
"You should already quit Seon-young your pushing yourself towards your death," he murmured making me snatch my hand out of his grip. "Hm" I simply replied.
Do-has lover I gently removed my hand from her grip before exiting the room. As soon as I escaped a sigh of reassurance exited my mouth. There was another presence in the room. A dark one matter of fact. I jolted towards the end of the hallway when I ran into someone.
"Sorry," I urgently said continuing my path not bothering to take a look at the person. "Seonyoung," surprisingly said the figure grabbing my wrist.
I froze in place as his voice sounded familiar.
"It''s been a long time since we meant," continued the figure making his grip even tighter.
Practically digging his nails into my skin. "Do you remember me," rumored the figure in my ear? I slowly but intensely felt my heartbeat rising. Everything around me turned black. I felt helpless it''s not like death or destiny can be escape. I tightly closed my eyes as his hands gently brushed my face.
"See what I see Seonyoung," whispered the figure. "accept the truth," he continued making me open my eyes.
In front of me was the lifeless body of my mother. I gently walked towards the body. Her long black scattered on the floor beautifully outlined her face. Her body was pale. I glared at her body before squatting down to get an even closer look.
"If I was so naive I would have actually shed a tear," I stated before clapping my hands making the void slowly disappear. "I see that our princess has finally grown wings," said the figure. "If so then look into my eyes. Let me how much you''ve grown," added the figure as a slimy, wet, and textured object traced my cheeks. "Let me taste you," added the figure his hands slowly moved down my body.
I wanted it to stop but I couldn''t. Where was this fearless girl that wouldn''t let anything snap her? Where was she?
"Don''t do it, "I screamed making his grip tighten. "What happened to the strong girl who did care about anything hurting her," stated the figure."Do you think I could see you? Huh, Seonyoung," continued the figure. "Don''t worry I won''t make it painful?" finished the figure as a groan exited his mouth.
His grip suddenly disappeared. I fell to the ground unable to process what happened. Why did he come back? When did he come back? Tears fell from my eyes I couldn''t think. My mind was blurry. My heart and esteem were broken into pieces. I couldn''t deal with myself. The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Before I knew it anger, resentment, and hatred filled my soul.
"Are you okay?" asked someone as they wiped my tears.
I couldn''t reply maybe because I was too shocked or disappointed.
"Let''s get to somewhere safe," continued the voice as it got fainter and fainter.
*** As something wet slowly fell on my forehead. My eyes immediately shot open.
"Madam are you okay," asked one of the maids.
I sat there not bothering to answer her question.
"I''ll be leaving madam," stated the maid before picking up the tray and leaving.
I laid back down staring at the blank ceiling. I lay there for an hour before a group of maids entered my room.
"Young Madam, you''re lunch," said one of the maids as she walked towards me placing a tray of food on the bedside table.
After she placed the items she left not uttering another word. I felt numb. Both my body and mind. Why did he have come back? I thought it was over. I thought this nightmare was over. Lost in my thought process I slowly closed my eyes before drifting off into an unwanted slumber. ***
"Seonyoung," whispered a soft voice in my ear making my eyes jolt open.
I knew who it was but I didn''t want to admit it.
"I missed you," continued the voice his hands caressing my cheeks. "Please stop Do-ha"I murmured tears rolling down my face. "What''s wrong my love? Didn''t you miss me?" asked Do-ha, memories flashing through my mind as a wave hit the shore. "Someone told me that you missed me so bad that you start disrespecting your father," he finished.
I highly closed my eyes letting the tears from my eyes dry. I turned my head to the side making him sigh. He stood up before taking one last look at me. He turned around before living. Shortly after he left I stood up despite feeling weak. I needed to leave this house as soon as possible before the worst was to come. I entered the bathroom and turned on the shower before resting on the floor. I could teleport but my body was too weak for it both mentally and physically. I caught my breath before looking out the window as I looked for an exit plan. Guards were set up everywhere. I turned off the shower before stepping out of the bathroom. I ran towards the closet before changing into a set of brand-new clothes. I exited the closet to find Do-Ha sitting on the bed. I glanced at him before walking toward my side and laying down.
"The maids should be coming here pretty soon with some food," he said in a soft tone. "Don''t even think about leaving," he finished leaving the room.
I stared at the ceiling once again before a group of maids entered the room with a tray of food.
"Young madam," said one of the maids as she placed the food on the bedside table.
She glanced at me before accidentally dropping a utensil, sliding a note under my bedsheets.
"Pardon young madam," said the maid before standing up and leaving the room.
As she left I grabbed the piece of paper opening it. [ Request a Maid at 11:00 pm] read the note. I grabbed the paper before shoving it under the sheets. I closed my eyes letting time wonder when the clock suddenly hit 11:00 pm. I grabbed the emergency phone.
"I would like to request some food, "I murmured before handing up not waiting for anyone to answer.
An attempt to freedom .A few minutes later two maids entered with a cart. "Madam," said one of the maids walking towards me handing me a set of clothes. "Why," I asked making them smile. "Because your mother would have wanted us to," they simply said."Please hurry young madam we don''t have much time," stated one of the maids asI stood up and hurriedly changed. I changed into one of the maid''s outfits. I styled my hair so that my face was covered and so did the maids. I exhaled before taking the cart and exiting my room. One of the maids stayed behind. I followed the maid before we came to a sudden halt. We were in the kitchen. I lifted my head to see a group of maids anxiously waiting. "Young madam," whispered all of them at once. "Are you okay," asked one of the maids making me gently nod. "Here," she said handing me a bag filled with food and daily essentials. "Leave Young Madam," stated another maid as they opened the back door letting the moonlight enter the room. I slowly exited the building and before I knew it, I was out of the building. I turned around to look at the maids to find each one bowing at me. I bowed back before running into the night. My escape was interrupted by a sudden scream. "She escaped," hearing these words I ran as fast as I could. I didn''t care where I was going I just wanted to leave this place. I ran for what seemed like an eternity before reaching the streets. I entered a restaurant before heading to the bathroom. I changed into the outfits given by the maids. I put on a mask before exiting the restaurant''s bathroom. "Excuse me miss are you okay," asked one of the waiters making me anxiously nod my head before exiting the building. I looked around spotting a bus stop. Without thinking twice I got in. I sat down in the last row taking a lot out the window. The scenery was spectacular. The city lights glimmered like the stars in the night. Once again lost in thought I let everything around me disappear. "Miss this is the last stop," yelled the bus driver making me jolt from my seat and exit. I looked around realizing that I was in the middle of nowhere. People are surrounded by a dark aura. I gulped before grasping my courage by hand and walking. Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work! I stopped at a hostel with big glowing letters stating "GOSHIWON" "Excuse me a room for one night," I asked the front desk lady. She had an aura not different from the people outside. I might even say worst. "Sorry we can only rent a room for one month," replied the lady making me bite my lip. "I can offer you a discount since it''s my first time seeing you around," continued the lady. "How much," I asked my eyes glimmering in hope. "100$ each month," responded the lady making my heart slump. "I''ll take it," I replied. After our little conversation, I was led to my room. The halls were filled with the stench of cigarettes and alcohol. Explicit noises made their way around the building. "Here," said the lady handing me a pair of keys. "By the way my name is Kim. Hope you have a great stay," she finished making me slightly bow. I penetrated the room locking it with a chair. I sat down on the mattress before closing my eyes. *** BANG BANG I abruptly opened my eyes turning my head towards the door. The loud banging noise continued. "Yah Open the door," yelled the person on the other side. I grabbed the keys before sliding the teeth in between my fingers. Cautiously I opened the door only leading a streak of light to enter. "How can I help you," I stuttered making the person on the other side title their head. "Sorry wrong room," quickly replied shadow before rushing off. I quickly closed the door and took a glance at the clock. It was 5:00 am. Who was that person, what did they want, and who did they think I was? I opened the bag before grabbing a hoodie and quickly changing. I took the money and exited the building. I grabbed my bag and exited the building cautiously. I suddenly halted my steps when a familiar voice sounded in my ears. My heart skipped a beat. They found me. I looked around because walk out of the building as quietly and calmly as possible. Just as I did so a sensation was felt from my shoulder. I clutched my bag ready to run. Removing the hand from my shoulder I ran towards the door exiting. The bright sunlight hit my face making me squint my eyes. I looked around the small alley finding an opening. I jumped the fence in the nick of time. "Seonyoung," Yelled do-ha running towards the fence. "Come back to me," he said in a heavy tone. "I don''t want to," I replied making him scoff." Yah Seonyoung, I said get back here," replied Do-ha. I wanted to answer but no words exited my words. I looked at him one more time before running once again. I ran until my legs started shaking. It''s 6:30 pm. My legs were shaking, my heart was pumping. I grabbed a nearby pole, exerting my strength on it. I was tired, mentally and physically. I couldn''t take it anymore I was ready to accept my fate. I grabbed my breath, before turning around. Consciousily, I walked towards them. Suddenly my eye sight diverted to the stop lights. I felt as if I was slowly falling. THUD Everything around me seemed to be spinning. A tear, exiting my eyes. "Save me," I mouthed, words barely eixting my mouth.
