Can We Love? {ENHYPEN JAKE} 🦋

THAT WAS YOU, JAKE -THIRTY FIVE

Part 35

[ Princy's pov, Flashback, 2 days after the funeral ]

I needed a distraction. From everything. I had to seclude myself from everyone because going out means meeting humans which includes Jake and Lia. For 2 days, I haven't walked out of this 4 walled room. Sunghoon was getting food for me and sometimes he had to feed me.

You can point me out for being childish, but that's how it is. It feels even worse when you're actually feeling it. People would never know because everyone's got a different shoe size. Family was told that I wasn't feeling too good and hence, was told to take as much rest required.

But unfortunately, I wasn't feeling like staying in the room. My feet were itching to walk around, so I freed myself from this small cage I created and decided to take a walk around the house. It took me almost an hour to do so.

I was keenly observing the whole interior and furniture of the house while trying to be as alone as possible. Others have went out to a nearby arcade. I was asked but as you know, I refused. While wandering my eyes, it caught on a closed black door which was anciently designed.

My gaze didn't avert at all. I was pulled by a strong sense of beauty. My hands were jiggling to grab the door knob and look what's hiding inside, but was stopped by the fear of invasion. I was not a part of the Sim family. So I stepped back and looked away from the hypnosis.

But as I was about to walk away, a strange noise made me hault. I looked at the door as the noise came from inside the door. I get closer to the door, and fix my right ear on the door to confirm, did I hear it or was I hallucinating? But again, I heard it.

It was sort of a noise as if something or someone is being dragged on the floor. I gulped, as the fear crept in. I always hated those movie characters who despite the warning, move close to open a door or check the source of weird happenings.

Never knew, I will become someone I hate. With growling stomach, I knock on the door. It wasn't a loud one, but slightly. Getting no response, I knocked again. Soon I heard some shuffling, before the lock opens. The door opened with a creek sound and I jumped back.

An old woman, who was a maid in this house, walked out of the room. I weirdly looked at her until she noticed me. She's the only helper I haven't talked to because she seems unapproachable. Her face always has those creases at forehead and she always scolds her subordinates.

She's the senior most, so she should at least look welcoming. But as if I'm staying in this house forever. I shrugged it off.

When she looked at me, she was shocked for a second as well before returning to her cold persona. She cleared her throat and asked, "Do you need anything miss?"

I didn't realize I was staring at her until she spoke. I shake my head as a no. She squint her eyes at me, "So what are you looking for miss? This part of the house is not for everyone to visit. Only the family members are allowed here." Ouch.

She must be a family member. She has been the oldest to serve the family.
"I was taking a walk and came here. I heard some sound from inside. Do you need help with anything Mrs Kim?"

"Not really. You can continue your walk but not here. You may go in the backyard for some fresh air. Do you want some soup, you weren't feeling good I was told?" Well, she isn't so bad I guess.

"Thank you but I had a good breakfast so I'm not really hungry. I'll have lunch when others return." I sweetly smiled at her but didn't not receive the same. She just nodded, bowed and was about to go when I stopped her. "Mrs Kim!!"
