an intense and irresistible desire for freedom

I was on my last movie and almost in half conscious sleep. The remote was on the side of the table and I was snuggled up in the corner. My head was about the fall to the side, falling asleep, when a loud knock woke me up. My head shot up, awake.

I looked at the door and then another knock rung threw the house. Who is knocking on the door at this time of night. Yoongi has the keys and I don't really have any neighbours who would knock at this time.

I felt a little freaked out and turned the volume of the tv down. The knocks grew louder. I tried to stay calm but was too scared to move. I tried searching for my phone but I realised I don't have it with me. I don't know where I put it!

I heard the sound of the lock being tampered with. I suddenly shot up and hid behind the sofa. It sounded as if they were trying to opened the door.

If they did, they would be able to see me clearly. I took deep breaths, calming myself down.

I peaked from behind the sofa and saw the door being forced open. But the I saw the key... how did they-

I quickly hid myself behind the sofa again, hoping to stay out of sight. The sound of heavy footsteps, echoed through out the livingroom.

I covered my hand over my mouth to quiet the sound of my breathing. I didn't want to be heard.

The door closed, quietly behind whoever had broken in. I peaked to see who it was and to my horror, it was the worst person it could be.

"Hello, anyone home?" his soft voice echoed through the house. I stayed quiet and avoided making any sound at all. The last thing I want is to be caught. How did he get the key..?

"Come out Yoonji I missed you" he said, his voice still soft. Just as soft as I remembered.

Not being able to move a muscle. I heard a loud sigh and then footsteps moving towards the kitchen. They stopped before turning back into the living room. 

"Where are you hiding jagi?" His voice was closer than before. I heard his steps trail off up the stairs. I look a breath out in relief. I was torn between running out and getting help or hiding. I don't have my phone how will I call anybody!?

I decided to quickly hide in a better place if he comes back. I ran to the cellar we have in our living room and shut the door behind me.

The door wasn't completely closed off and you could peak in by the gaps every inch down. I crouched down and held my hand over my mouth as I heard his foot steps returning.

I peaked through the gaps to see that he was walking towards the sofa where I would've been if I hadn't changed hiding places. I gulped, realising how close I could've been to being caught.

I heard something being placed on the table. It was a medicine bag. What is in the medicine bag?

All I could see from the small gap was him opening the bag and pulling out a bottle and had a tissue or towel, something like that.

What the fu*k. What is that for?

"Your keys are on your desk and the tv is on, I know you're still home" he sung, turning around. Silence overtook the room and all I could hear was my heart pounding.

"Just come out already, please baby" his voice ringing through the house. I was not to far away, hugging my knees in the cellar a few paces behind him.

I quickly formulated a plan in my head to get out of there. The longer I stayed the higher chance of him finding me.

Before I could formulate the plan I accidentally knocked something over. I heard the sound of it falling and my heart stopped. I instinctively looked through the gap to see if he had heard anything.
