teens my age gets to live the way they want to be. but for me, i have strict rules to follow in order not to get in trouble. the consequences can lead to death if i'm not careful. that's why my brother is so protective over me.
ever since our parents got into a gang fight and died in the middle of it showed that my brother had to be careful with me. he didn't want to experience me dead in the middle of the ground with a bullet in my head. i don't as well but i had to do something that girls my age would do. for an example, go watch a movie, shop, or talk about boys. too bad my brother doesn't want me to have friends either.
he only thinks about protection and nothing else. i was sick of it and he knows it's sickening. haneul, my brother, would usually watch me everyday but if it's a gang meet, he would get one of his loyal members to watch over me. just in case i don't slip out of our territory and do something stupid.
speaking of territories, we're the owners of the south side and our enemies are the owners of the north side. our gang has been fighting with the north ever since my great, great grandfather was born. we haven't made a peace treaty with them yet and i don't think we're planning to make one anytime soon.
since i was alone at the base, i didn't know what to do. haneul's trustworthy friend was watching over me so i didn't have much to do other than watch some television.
the urge to go outside was my number one priority. i had to go outside, i want to see what it's like other than looking out the backyard. i would always turn my head to see the guard looking out the door as if someone was going to burst in the house.
an idea hit me, i don't remember haneul barring the windows in the house. so, if i could, i would crawl out the window and run to somewhere i've always wanted to visit.
the mall.
i got up from the comfy couch and went to the guard. "i need to use the bathroom, sir."
"you have ten minutes." he said and i rolled my eyes mentally. "if you're not out in ten minutes, i'm coming in."
whatever, i thought. instead, i nodded. "i understand, i'll be back before you know it." i lied.
the bad thing about this was the clothes that i'm wearing, it was nothing suitable to be wearing inside a mall. i would usually see girls in the movie all dressed up and glamorous. but to me, i looked like i was coming out of a garbage can. i raised my arm and smelled my armpit. hey, at least i smell good. no odor, no harm.
i locked the bathroom door and checked to see the window was really free. when i heard the window click, i did a quick dance of freedom before raising it up. the window was pretty short so i could easily crawl through. in no time, i was hanging off the window. i didn't think about how high the window was. looking down, it was a pretty high jump. i prepared myself to let go and let out a long breath. that's when the courage built inside of me, i let go and landed perfectly only to feel the cramp in my foot when i started walking. other than that, i did good.
i sneaked around my house from the guards that were patrolling around the yard. they had guns in their hands and extra ammo in their pockets. one slip up and they could accidentally kill me. danger is a strict thing around here.
one of the guard came my way and i instantly hid from him. i looked at his armed self and questioned myself if i need anything before i leave. like a gun or a sharp knife.
taking a glance around me, i saw that no guard in sight and decided to take action. i jumped on the man and used all my strength to choke him. even though he was my brother's guard, i made sure i didn't kill him when he landed on the ground. i got on my knees and took all the weapons from him.
that's when i started to sneak around until i made it to the gates. the moment was getting better and better. i was finally away from the prison with a huge smile across my face. i ran and ran until i didn't see our base anymore.
