My excited gaze ran through the text over and over, dropping my mobile on the side, not replying but hoping Mr. Jeon feels as if I was already deep asleep.

Like a good little girl that he thought I was.

I couldn't help but take my lower lip under my teeth amidst the vim, my heart beginning to race as I looked around me, gaze falling on the Titan wall clock one last time before I stood up, trodding closer to the full-size mirror to have a final look at myself.

Straightening the taut fabric of the bodycon dress, I pulled the stray strands away from my face but puckered my perfectly painted matte-red lips, gulping down the urge to tap some of it off.

My breathing caught in my chest, doing an experimental flutter of my lashes and feeling the extra weight of the long lashes I had put on for the first time ever. To think… I was going to do a lot of things for the first time ever today.

For a first timer, I stared at every detail of my face carefully, my smokey eyes were definitely not too bad, good, even.

But…

I sighed, pulling away before the contagious negativity could reach up to my head, blinking before I quickly walked over to the black purse that remained hidden beside the wardrobe. I bent down, stopping midway realizing that the short, tight dress restrained me from moving too low.

1:00 am.

A shaky breath escaped my lips before I was already opening the window of my room, pulling my hair on one side and unzipping my dress for flexibility as I held my mobile and purse tightly, using the other hand to jump down, the cold air swaying my hair.

Quickly walking quite a distance away, I finally calmed down from the frantic jogging, exhilaration high as I looked down at the Reebok sports shoes dad had bought me four years ago. This was the best I could manage to put on if not school shoes.

Tightly gripping my mobile and purse, I took a deep breath, looking up at the midnight cloudy sky phenomenally illuminated by the glowing full moon.

I breathed in relief as the plan I concocted had worked smoothly so far. Every single detail and possible outcome I thought of had stressed my poor mind to the point of near collapse.

For months I had been planning on doing something so completely outrageous and risky that no one would ever expect me to do, something that would refill all the thrill and excitement that I had missed out on for so long, pulling away the good disciplined girl reputation for once.

Finally coming to a halt on the empty road, watching the traffic light turn green, my head blacked out.

Fuck… where do I go?

All this time, my main concern was to successfully escape for the night, the thought of what I'd be doing next just never came.

As my ears caught on the loud noise coming from a building nearby, my body slightly thumping with the strong bass, a thrill of exuberance suddenly filled in my veins.

There was a club nearby.

Suddenly I knew where to go.

Without a waste, I followed the faint sound. It was strange how a whole ass club was situated just so close to my house and yet I was entirely oblivious to it.
