longing.

5 years later :

Seoul city korea :

Jenny's pov :

It's been an year.

an year since we all flew the out of the Satan's lair . It still feel like one day I would wake up in the rusted room with creepy John before us with that fucking belt he hit the shit out of us . But  , we got out , safe and secure.

It was Vanessa .

It was all her , always was.

When she was 17 and half and she scored a decent percentage on CSAT ,it was given that she would get a scholarship .

And it was then she came up with the courage to make a plan to escape our mortal hell , and actually act on it .

Given she had scored nice on the CSATS , she asked the permission of the principal  to leave quickly , his soft spot for her helped a lot as she took two part time jobs at a cafe and pet store for 6 months and took all the payment at once. Of course we wouldn't take a chance of spoiling our plan and getting caught by creepy John

I offered to help , but neither got permission from principal nor did Vanessa agree,  she didn't wanted to raise suspicions.

She somehow found an unfurnished studio apartment on the edge of the city a non criminal and cheap area where she has to take 1 hour bus for the uni but it ticked all the budget boxes.

And off we flee right after 2 days of her 18 th bday, in the beginning of the summer holidays as we had enough money to flee to the city and with the double payment of 6 months she paid of 4 months in advance and she had a little more to spare.

We did had a little trouble to transfer schools but once she told about the bullying problem we were transfered easily.

The two months of summer holidays we opened a bank account ,the four of us busted our asses with three part times a day . And let's say we were decent by the  2 month. The first things we bought was a rice cooker , and three single cot beds which we joined to make one huge bed , which felt like heaven .

We were always scholarship students so we didn't have to worry about the fees , though Vanessa and Sara proved to be dumb in many situations to the point that if we were about to hand someone their ass back with words , we preferred them to shut up. But academically that wasn't the case . They were good.

Now all of us take one part time job 5 days a week and 2 different jobs the weekend

we can afford meals and the departmental store where I work is owned by an old couple , Who let me take the food if it were to be expired that day . Even though most people wouldn't.

And what to say , Seoul is the city of dreams and rich. And Sara being Sara made a negotiation with her fellow student that she would get paid 50$ for every record she writes  , and we help her every night 2 hours to write those . 4 of us Manage to finish like 10 records every week and that's a lot of help .

Now after clearing the rent for upcoming 5 months (cause we would never know when things go down and shit ) with all of our 75% pays of the next 4 months and signing the agreement (departmental grandma insistence about con artists) we now have enough money to buy some clothes and daily necessities.

When we ran away we didn't know we would have to do so much math to look after ourselves but , we could never be more happy .

It feels like lady luck is paying back for all the time she wasn't Helping.  Though it wasn't much , we were happy .  It was now Saturday as me , Natasha and Sara, who now were 16 sat on bed with the records we are about to write and a 2nd hand TV Sara got which a student offered for 2 records.
