Finding Freedom

The travle of the escape

You ordered a good-sized portion of food. You look up to see the woman looking at all your cuts and bruises. Yall made eye contact "Ma'am are you okay?" She motions to your neck where a yellow handprint bruis had formed from 3 nights ago. You rub your neck, remembering "Oh yeah, I'm okay, but will you please help me apply ointment once I'm done eating?" She nodded her head with a slight smile."Of course, ma'am." After eating, you dozed off a bit when the nice waiter came up to you to clear your table.

You opened your eyes. "Once you're done with your business, can you please come help me?" She smiled at you. after a bit she came up to the table and led you to the bathroom where you removed your shirt to apply ointment everywhere that you needed it. She looked you up and down. "I ran. I'm still running. I'll be okay."

She gave you an apologetic nod. "Do you need a place to stay?" You looked up surprised."You said you were running, and you were sleeping at the table. I just figured you need a place to stay." You look at her happy "Um yeah that would be great. I only need a place to sleep for a bit." She nodded."Okay then, I'll take you to my place after work. I get off at 12:30" You got excited "Oh thank you, " you turned around to hug her.

When she got off, she took you to the room upstairs. You slept all day. When you woke up, you heard her in the room over cooking. You could smell it. You walk into the room shes in "Hello" she looks at you "well hello there sleepy head" you laugh a little "I'm gonna leave at 10:00" she nodded her head "Okay do you want food?" You smile "Yes please"

At 9:50, you were cleaning up, getting ready to leave when Hati walked in with a shirt and a thin jacket "These are extra clothes I have and want to give to you it's cold at night." You formally thanked her for housing you and for the clothes. After you and Hati applied the ointment one more time, you left.

You didn't stop for a long time. You would take turns running and walking. You came across a train station where you put your hood up and walked in. You looked at the furthest place within 70 dollars. You purchased a ticket to busan for $62.36. On the train, you couldn't sleep knowing that you were surrounded by a bunch of random men. So you stayed awake thinking of how to carefully spend the rest of your money you had $83.64 so you had to spend it wisely.

By the time you got to busan it was 6:00 AM you were exhausted. When you got off the train, you walked about 4 miles when you finally ran into a woman and asked her to borrow her phone. when she handed you the phone you called Yun "Hello" you smiled at her voice "Hey it's me" "Y/n how's it going" You sigh "It's going okay I can't talk long I'm borrowing this nice lady's phone. Have you heard anything from Min Jae?" She sighs."Not a single peep love. " You feel yourself relax "Okay thank you. I'll talk to you soon. Bye, love you, " she makes a whining noise."Bye, love you too."

You hand  the woman her phone. "Do you know where a cheap restaurant is, ma'am?" She pointed."Walk about a block down, take a left, and another left, then a right." You smiled."Thank you, " you bowed and walked away. As you're walking, you notice 2 hooded men following you. You try to speed up your pace, but they start sprinting at you. As fast as you could, you started running. you were running for what felt like 3 blocks and turned the corner only to slam into someone and fall flat on your ass. You hear someone start apologizing immediately, but you didn't care. "It's okay. Please help me. Someone is chasing me. " He tried to help you up, and you flinched a little at the movement. "It's okay, I can do it myself." You stood up, "Follow me." You follow the man 3 steps behind and listen distinctly, trying to hear the men that are chasing you. You followed him into a small building. "Sit here and wait a sec." You sat down now looking at the scrapes on your hands  he came towards you, your nose filling with the sent of freshly baked cookies.

He walked into another room, opening a blue door. "Come here." You walked into the room him shutting the door behind you and locking it you growled a little with a wipmer mixed in he put his hands up "Okay I'm unlocking it" he slowly turned the lock back. "Where were you hurt when you fell?" As he gestured you to a small couch, you looked at your hands. "Mostly my hands some on my wrists." He had a creme in his hands.

He reached for your hand. You flinched away once again he held his hands up. "I'm not gonna hurt you. I wanna help, okay? Can I please put the creme on your wounds?" You looked at him and slowly stuck your hands out. "I'm gonna roll up your sleeves a bit, okay?" You nod in response as he rolls up you sleeves he sees all the bruising and scarres from Min Jae instead of just scrapes. his eyes widen and suppress a growl. You are looking at your hands as he puts the creme when you smell his sent change to a burnt sent. You look at him, having flashbacks of Min Jaes sent changing whenever he would be upset and was about to call you to the bedroom.

You internally start to panic your breathing picking up. You remember to be quiet and to not make noise, so you hold your breath. He looks up at you, noticing your blossom sent becoming sour. He sees tears running down your face. His eyes widen. " Are you okay? Did I hurt you? What's wrong?" You try to slow your breathing to calm down but failed. "I would like to go now. I think I'm okay." You say a sob leaking through "Wait I'm not done. You could have serious damage to your skin." You rip your hands away and run out the door hearing footsteps behind you fade. you Soon saw a restaurant and crouched behind the dumpster in the side ally.
