It's already been a week, I read through nearly half the library. I finished almost my whole semester of work. I hadn't ventured outside yet due to the fact of how weak I felt, I wasn't sleeping and I wasn't eating. I ate a few bites a day to keep me going and drank water but that was it. I wasn't hungry, mentally I wasn't. I closed the computer as I heard a knock on the door, Woojin had been standing behind me the whole time.
"Euna. Your father has asked us to take the computer now." I nodded with a small smile at the maid, she took the computer and I walked to my closet. I put on a simple outfit that would keep me warm, "I'm gonna go explore the garden." Woojin nodded and turned his back as I changed in my closet, I really didn't feel like reading anymore for a while.

I made my way out of the room, Woojin still following me. I walked out the back glass doors, the garden that was slowly dying was still beautiful in its own way. There were vines that grew up the back of the house, rose bushes surrounded a white gazebo, there was a picnic table inside the gazebo that had a flower vase in the middle. "Woojin...what is all this for?" I looked at him and he kept his gaze on me, "Your father and his wife used to have lunch here. She kept up with the garden."
"Used to?" He nodded, "What happened?" He never looked away, "That's not your business." I shrugged, "Whatever." I walked around the garden for a little bit before looking out into the forest, I started to walk towards it before I got an idea. "Woojin! Keep up!" I took off running into the woods, I wasn't very fast because I was so weak but I also had a head start. I was so incredibly bored and I needed to keep myself distracted, giving my guard a hard time sounded fun.
I felt an arm wrap around me and my back slammed into a tree making me groan, "Ow asshole!" His eyes pierced into mine, "What did you expect to happen?" I looked at him, "I was having a little fun god damn!" I pushed him off me, "I wasn't trying to escape, I'm not that stupid. I'm here for a reason." I rolled my eyes and looked around, it was peaceful out here. Woojin sighed and I felt his hand on my back which made me flinch, "Calm down you have tree bark on your shirt."
He wiped it off and I gave him a small smile, "Thanks." He looked away with a slight blush, "You shouldn't thank me, I'm only doing why I'm told to do." I looked at him, "I didn't tell you to wipe my back off." He looked at me, "Your father ordered me to-" I turned around, "I don't care to hear about him." I decided to keep walking, yes I was tired but the adrenaline of being chased made me more awake than ever.
It was quiet as he followed me, "How did you get here?" I finally broke the silence, "How do you mean?" I looked at him, "You had to join this gang somehow." He sighed, "I was with another group but..I betrayed them. They kicked me out, nearly killed me, your father found me and trained me his way." I nodded and walked again, "How'd you betray them?"
