"Y/NNNN!", aunt somi scream from the living room where she stood with her hand on her hips keep eyes stuck on the kitchen door where the said girl run out with panick in her eyes.

"Y-yes?", she question looking here and there then found the resources of the loud scream because of the boy standing on the steps with burnt blue shirt that he wore for his school days.

Aunt somi huff her anger that limit after seeing the skinny girl, who changed a lots from the first time she saw her on doorsteps with her late husband who left her as burden life.

She still remember how her lower whisper came to asked them to let her stay for few days but the kind old man felt his heart clinch for her and told to become a member of the house that stay with them and help to earn.

"Why the hell did you burn his shirt?", she pointed out where the boy, her son who loves to give more issues in her life rise his shirt that have the burnt mark on his sleeve.

"I-i didn't pay attention there and was cooking...", y/n try to buy some reason but stop as aunt somi gave a tight slap on her left cheek that made her face moved.

"You are getting so shameless now! This shirt need to be in my hand right in the evening and payment will be use from your salary!", aunt somi yell looking at the tearful eyes which nodding in agreement then run back to cook in kitchen area.

She took a deep breathe before turning to look at her son and only family left related to her enjoying the scene of her getting fame for something which she didn't do. All three of them knows it but both mother-son duo keep irritating her and made her fun flop but y/n never use her voice to struggle back.

"Be quick girl! I'm getting late for school", the boy, also known as soo-jin yell making her rush from getting the plates ready on the table for them.

He hum in responding when he saw the delicious food ready then look up at y/n rubbing her hand on her blue apron while looking at the plates. Aunt somi gave her a glance before starting to fill her cup of tea.

"Now what are you waiting for! Leave", he guesture towards her room which made her look at him then bow before silently walk away from there to let the two eat the food.

"Stupid piece of shit didn't even realise us intentionally manners and keep living at our mercy! Mom why are you even keep her here? Always make things worst for us and watching her made me feel itching!", soo-jin whine making his mother to rise her eyebrows then look up.

"Your father took all our money in gambling before he died and we only have to survive on her so let her work  household chores with job to earn money for our needs!",she whispered.

"But mom why torture her mind and not beat her?", he was confusing by the way his mother treat her and not let him gave any scars to his guest.

"Did you not see her body! I have great place for her to go after she isn't working anymore for us and her body can made us millions to sell so don't you dare to strach her anywhere!", she warned him firmly then look back at the stairs where she came back in change clothes to go on her job.

"I-i am leaving!", she speaks up in such a low tone that was extremely heard by them but seeing aunt somi nodding made her sigh then leave without eating anything else.

Living here was so inclined before the period when her uncle joey was alive. She still remember how he jump to gave a warm hug from receiving.Then he eventually gave her a room to sleep and behave like a family.

But this habits made aunt a bit futuristic of them and even use to get angry on her in small things. Never once she dare to fight and flicker back when she use to threat her but then things changed. Uncle joey was not able to stand the regular fight and lost his job which made him often spend time in bar.

Y/n feeling generous guilty told her aunt that she will take the family situation as her need and found a job that will pay good to buy necessary things then pay the school fees for soo-jin who didn't gave a shit.

Day by day thing got harder on her shoulder that uncle joey was not even coming black home and someone have to go get him back while aunt was always itching to fight then make her pay for useless things.

Work load became harder that she doesn't even got time to explore new surroundings area of her small village neighbourhood that she used to do and even have peaceful sleep for hours cause the house works depends on her now that she wasn't able to do.

That day, half a year ago she was expecting to get good promotion new with salary double slip but then her head spin when police mans came with a sad face to reveal that her uncle was death in the club due to drinking too much and have to take him back from hospital for last greetings.

First double check was used for funeral days where their respective relatives came to greetings from the far distance and feel grateful for her helping the two left members who were so unbelievably by his death.

Leaving now cause her frightening fear rush back in her body that still pressure her heart to never get out of her hidden place cause she knows that they were still waiting for her even after 5 years have gone in vain.

Wearing the same blue long coat reminds her that they were the reason she left her college, her friend carl and goals behind to hide just cause they were taking revenge by killing someone who might be at fault but still murder case closed.

Finally after crossing the room then look up at the restaurant name tag made her smile being happy that she was returning to a safe place where she genuinely feel happy to work. Having nothing as qualification made it hard to get job but then the owner here the sweet lady came helpful.

Not only she gave a suitable position in the working condition for the girl to balance her life and work on perfect time but she was also so patient with her learning period that now she was proud to have her.

Pushing the glass door to blow her long hip length hair swinging behind from the hot airconditioner on the ceiling then walk inside the cold room to go on the other side of the counter and meet her coworkers couples.

"Now are you coming frizz!", justin who was LA boy studing here for his family spoken teasing her in softness.

He set the new batch of list that was getting ready in the kitchen then turn his full attention on the small girl playing with her fingers and clear his throat to gave her time to speak.

"Aunt was making me cook lunch and breakfast soo ...", she was cut off by another girl who came from behind him to lean on his shoulder and speak her last words.

"So I have to make it before packing lunch for that small kid and come right here", y/n blush nodding in yes as roya his girlfriend giggle then wink before jumping on both to give a big hug.

"Silly girl still being inside the damn black home! Why don't you leave them?", she question this again and got the same response back.

"They are family and I don't want to left family to make them suffer", y/n smile as they both groan in annoying from hearing this solid resistance line again but then their chef called out.

"Hey buddies! We have to work extra hard today cause full day have been cut short for some business VIPs and boss wants you three to do overtime for her to greet the guests!", chef made them look fusion for overtime but they get good amount of money so not need to get fussy from doing it.

Y/n wore her uniform and got to help the chef to service the table with foods and drinks then take new order to pass the worker to let them cook but her mind was messing up in thoughts to know who the business VIPs were cause this village was not famous so none famous man like to come and knowing this made her eager.
