Chaotic Nights (Wild Night)

CHAPTER 08

•••

Mr. Song waited outside for Eun Ha to come out, but once the guards closed and locked the gates, he gave up.

He was aware Eun Ha was thinking about making more money these days, but he never thought that something like this could happen.

'Turn her into a courtesan?'

He felt disgusted by Shim Dok for wanting to force a kid, who clearly hates the courtesan profession, to become one.

Mr. Song wandered around his shop, thinking about what he should do. Then he suddenly remembered Eun Ha's instructions to deliver a message to the Lord, informing him that she would try to escape as soon as possible.

A commoner asking a noble for a favor was something that wasn't allowed.

Although it wasn't her fault, she had broken the promise. In this situation, asking for consideration from the other party was ridiculous. There was no way that an intelligent kid Eun Ha didn't know that.
Just in case, Song decided to deliver the message. If things didn't work out, he might also be affected by it.

Then there was only one possible solution.

Those who saw him running while struggling to breathe, made fun of him. But he didn't have time for that. Although he was out of breath and his legs hurt, Song just kept running towards Seo Ji Hak's house.

*~*~*~*~*~

"I really wasn't trying to see Young Master Yoon! Why are you doing this to me?!"

It had been many hours since she was locked inside her room. Eun Ha kept banging the door while shouting, but there was no answer from the other side.

It wouldn't feel so suffocating if there was any kind of response from the guards. Not only that, she had been locked in a room with lax security. It was as if Shim Dok was daring her to escape.

The moment Eun Ha escaped, that woman would probably hurt her sister. The owner of the courtesan house was that type of woman.

"Please listen to me! If I don't go out now, things will get really bad! A very scary person is waiting for me!"
Eun Ha tried banging the door or hitting the wall with her head, but it was useless. The two shadows on the other side of the door did not move at all.

She sat down on the floor in confusion. She was having a hard time understanding Shim Dok's actions. It wasn't like she was going to become a courtesan.

Eun Ha laid on the floor and sighed while gazing up at the ceiling.

She was terrified of the Lord becoming angry and taking her life. Also, why is it that her neck was hurting so much?

She closed her eyes, hoping the time would pass quickly.

"Eun Ha? Are you there?"
She could hear Chun Hee's voice coming from outside the door.
"The Owner has sent me. Open the door."

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Yes. I'm Chun Hee, her personal servant. If you have any doubts, go ask her directly."
The guards looked at each other and then decided to open the door. Eun Ha blinked at the harshness of the light coming in from the other side of the door.
People were probably getting ready for that night's work.

Chun He approached Eun Ha and slapped her on the back.

"Why were you trying to escape?"

"I wasn't! I'd never escape and leave my sister behind."

"Then why are all your things packed? You packed up everything the moment people began talking about making you a courtesan. It was obvious how she would react!"
