After finishing the task, the maid turned to her again, her tone demanding.

Maid: "Now, wash the utensils. And after that, there are some clothes that need washing too. Go on!"

Yn glanced at her, feeling a lump in her throat. She knew the maid was taking advantage of Mrs Han's absence, but she said nothing. Fear clung to her like a shadow. What if she refused? What if the maid told Jungkook she wasn't obeying?

Her heart trembled at the thought. The memories of the previous night haunted her. She lowered her head and obediently nodded.

Yn: softly "Yes..."

She began washing the utensils, her hands trembling slightly. Tears threatened to fall again, but she blinked them away. Her mind whispered a painful truth - she was trapped in this house, with no one to protect her anymore.

Time Skip - 3 PM

Yn was wiping the tables after lunch in the dining area when she overheard a conversation between the maid and Mrs. Jeon in the living room.

Maid: "Ma'am, we're running low on vegetables. Should we buy some from the market?"

Mrs. Jeon: "Okay, go later."

The maid nodded planning to leave after some time.

Hearing this, an idea sparked in Yn's mind. The market... now I can run away from here.

She quickly grabbed a large carry bag to make it seem like she was only going for groceries so no one would suspect her. Taking a deep breath she carefully stepped out of the house looking around cautiously.

Just as she was about to leave, a bodyguard HIS NAME (Jack)
stepped in front of her blocking her path. Her heart pounded in fear.

Bg (jack): "Where are you going?"

Yn: (scaredly) "U-uh... v-vegetables... to buy vegetables."

The bg (jack) narrowed his eyes. "Why are you going? Where are the other maids?"

Yn: "T-they were busy..." she stuttered, her hands gripping the bag tightly.

Bg (jack): "Who told you to go?"

Yn: "M-Madam..."

Jack observed her for a moment before speaking.

Bg (jack): "Really?"

Yn quickly nodded trying to appear calm.

Jack: "Wait here. I'll confirm."

Panic settled in her chest as the guard turned and walked back inside.

Jack: "Madam, did you tell the maid to buy vegetables?"

Mrs Jeon, still busy on her phone, barely looked up. "Yes."

Jack (bowed slightly): "Okay, ma'am."

He go back to Yn and stepped aside.

Jack: "Go, but come back quickly."

Yn swallowed forcing a nod and stepped out of the gates her heart racing. This was her only chance.

As soon as she stepped outside she looked around. The road was deserted surrounded by nothing but trees stretching endlessly. There were hardly any people or cars in sight. A nervous shiver ran down her spine but she couldn't afford to hesitate.

Moving forward she spotted an older woman passing by and quickly approached her.

Yn: "Excuse me, ma'am... do you know which way the market is?"
