That Night

Sooyoung stood on her balcony. Her fingertips lightly touched the petals, she loved her garden, it was unique and beautiful. It gave a nice lavender smell and a peaceful aura. She raised her head and stared at the glistening sky as she thought about the future of the island she lived on.

Their king was a very selfish man. He was really old and was going to die soon. The island Sooyoung lived on was close to South Korea. The people who lived in the island were mostly Korean. The island barely got any tourists. It had a travel ban placed on it as well, which was why nobody visited. It was prohibited to leave, too. There were so many things you could not do. If you didn't obey the rules, then you'd be executed. The mind of the king was absolutely wicked.

Another thing was, you couldn't interact with the opposite gender. This was to keep the population under control. If the king and his men saw there was a decline in population, then a couple would be randomly selected and they'd have to get married. Women that were between the age of 10 and 30 were able to be randomly married off to a stranger. That stranger could possibly be any age, as long as they're above 20. It was totally possible for a 45-year-old to get married to a 15-year-old.

The king did this purposely did this. After a young girl gets married off,  she would most likely get a baby in a year. Because they are so young, when giving birth, from stress they would die. The king knew this, and purposely made this a law so when a new life comes in, another one dies. He said it was sacrifice. The population of the island wasn't much compared to the United States. About 100,000 people lived there. It was still a lot, but the population seemed to be getting lower. The island currently had about 98,000. The king wanted the population to go up by a few hundred at least.

Sooyoung thought about who would take over if the king had died. It should be someone who actually had a good heart. Even though Sooyoung was manipulated her whole life, along with a lot of other people, she was aware of the dictator's selfishness. The king was rich. The island itself was poor. The only people who got to enjoy luxury in this island were him and his son, Min Yoongi.

Nobody really saw Min Yoongi as much in public. He was mostly referred to as 'the prince.' He was a mysterious person. He had to obey the rules as well, even though he was the king's son. A long time ago, the king had another son. His own father murdered him. The reason why was because he had a girlfriend, and things got bad when his father found out about it.

At the moment, Yoongi was twenty-five. His father is an eighty-seven-year-old. This was gossip that spread among many. His father got a woman in her late teens pregnant and then Min Yoongi had come into the world. It was a really disgusting story, but the king never denied it. Sooyoung never really saw Min Yoongi in real life, but she only hoped he would be a good leader.

Sooyoung was twenty-four now. She had lived twenty-four years in this wretched place. She looked down again. Her fat puppy, Jong-Un, was whimpering. She picked up her puppy and stared into his eyes. The puppy licked her face. She giggled and set him down.

She thought about her friend, Mijin. Her friend was executed not too long ago. Her friend secretly bought an American romance movie from a shady dealer, after watching it secretly she fell in love with romance. Movies and other social media, too sum it up all technology, were banned.

"Jong-un, I'm going to sleep now," she whispered to the puppy. She went inside her room, inhaling the fresh sent of lavender. When she suddenly heard a noise. Her heart started beating.

No no no...

Her mind raced with all these thoughts, but all she knew was somebody just broke into her house, It could've been an assassin. An assassin that worked for the king. She inhaled a sharp breath, trying to relax. She let her eyes wander around the room until it landed on her balcony.

A silhouette of a person was standing in front of her door, she guessed it was a man from looking at the bulky rather large figure. But wasn't entirely sure, The door that led to the balcony opened and revealed a masked man.

She was right.

She instantly recognized the little red logo on the man's jacket. The man walked closer to her. She gasped and started shaking.

"Hey there, sexy," the man said seductively.

Sooyoung was confused. What did he call her? She didn't know what that meant. Assassins that worked for the dictator got extra education, which made sense as to why she didn't know what he was saying. She took step back, confused on what to do.

"I just wanted something from you," he smirked through his mask.

Sooyoung could tell he was in his twenties. His voice sounded young, and he looked a bit young, even though he was wearing a mask.

The man took off his mask, and Sooyoung was able to see his face. The man charged at her in full speed, grabbing her by the wrists and pinning them against the wall. Using a hand, he grabbed for her necklace. It was a valuable necklace. It costed a lot. It had gold in it.

He took the necklace and stared at it in his hand. He smiled and looked at Sooyoung again. Sooyoung was in utter shock.

"You really want this back, don't you?" the man asked. "It's too bad you won't have it back."

Sooyoung remained silent. She was scared. She didn't know what she would do now. It was worth a lot to her.

It was her mother's pendant. It was made of gold. It meant a lot to Sooyoung because she never really got the chance to see her mother. Her mother died while giving birth to her. She envied those who got to grow up with the ones who gave birth to them. The necklace—it held something else special, and this strange man she didn't know just came in and took it away from her. She didn't know how to react.
