Yoonbum POV

For almost a year now, I have dreamed about leaving this home and gaining the freedom i oh so dearly needed. I wanted to get out. I needed to get out. I changed the way I behaved towards Sangwoo, changed the way i gave facial expressions to just the way he liked them. I would have dinner prepared on time and let him do to me as he pleases. Eventually, he stopped beating me so often.
But today was a different day.
Today is the day I leave.
I have been planing this day to come night after night after night.
Sangwoo had just left to run some errands of his. Said he would be back around 7.
This is my chance. I can do this. I will cross the line. My thoughts were rushing around in my brain but the loudest one was shouting
Let's go.
I slowly crawled towards the front door.But something held me back.I glanced down to see the edge of the stair case at my fingertips.
Don't cross the line. Don't cross the line. Don't cross the line.
Beads of sweat were starting to form on my forehead. My body trembled. I gulped while slowly inching my hand across the 'line'.
I quickly shot my eyes towards the front door, awaiting Sangwoo to enter and slice my throat open. I looked back at the clock. 6:15.
...
Nothing's happening.. is this real..?
I gained more courage and my heart beat pounded in my chest. I began to move myself closer to the door until. I was there. I glanced behind me and took in a deep breath.
Goodbye Sangwoo.
My hands reached for the handle but hesitated. I closed my eyes and swallowed harshly. Im sorry... I can't love you anymore. I'm sorry Sangwoo. Tears threatened to fall down my face. But I didn't have time for that. I needed to leave. I grabbed down on the handle and whipped the door open.
Im free.. I'm finally free..! I scurried onto the cold concrete below me until my head ran into something warm. Something.. familiar. I dared to look up. Blonde messy hair flooded my eyesight. Earbuds screamed the song I hear everyday.
Tears began like waterfalls.
"You going somewhere?"
His voice rang in my ears and dropped down to my stomach.
He turned towards me smiling widely.
Shit..!
