Escape
I started doing whatever I can with the art materials and that one of them is drawing and sketching some cats -flowers and hearts around it and also put some stickers on the canvas. As soon as I felt satisfied by it, I displayed near the window.
After many moment and attempts to do something productive than drawing, I decided to break Minho's rule and sneak out. I bit my lip after successfully doing so. I walked through the hallway to go back to my room but I froze when I stumbled on Mr. Park mid-way.
"Just in time." He said, a bitter smile was plastered on his face. "Can I have a talk with you?" He asked.
✵
"That is only if you agree on taming her. I'm telling you, Minho. If we got to earn her trust, she will agree on those tests we have been preparing for almost years now. Her intelligence is the key to our success. You want to meet your beloved Mother again, am I right? You want to see her alive, and breathing, right? Well go and gain her trust.. she's the last piece Minho. She's the only one who can take you to your mum."
"I'll do it. On one condition."
"What is it?"
"Keep your words and don't fuck around with me."
"Will do."
"Who's the damn girl?"
"Student 4419. Kim (Y/N)."
"Deal."
I curled my fists when I heard the recording. Tears were threatening to come out my eyes as I felt a lump stuck inside my throat. I swallowed so damn hard but it's still there.
"I'm so sorry, (Y/N). You don't necessarily have to hear this but my conscience says otherwise." Mr. Park looked at me with pity in his eyes.
Damn his pity I don't need it. I looked away and tried to hold my breath as I started to speak. "Where is Minho?" My voice was cold.
The old man clicked his tongue and shook his head. "I don't know. Maybe having the time of his life with Pia. I'm not really sure but that boy has genuine feelings for his bestfriend. Those two were always inseparable since ch-"
"Stop it. I don't wanna hear any single word from you, Sir." I glared and took a deep breath before holding the hem of my dress. "I'm leaving."
"What are your plans?" Mr. Park asked when I was about to step out of the room.
I grip my hand on the door knob and didn't bother to glance towards him. "Escape this place, maybe." And with that, I left.
I bit my lower lip and blinked abruptly to take away the tears from my eyes but it didn't stop it from falling nonetheless. My heart was aching as it felt like it was being pierced with thousands of daggers.
