Prologue

Hyejin's POV

I just got home from work, as I heaved out a sigh, before unlocking the front door of my house.

As soon as I walked in, the smell of alcohol immediately greeted me, as I scrunched my face in disgust.

"Father?", I called out for him, as I stepped into the house that had empty bottles of soju scattering everywhere.

I walked towards my father's room, and saw him already sound asleep, as I heaved out another tired sigh.

My eyes then travelled to a half full bottle of wine next to his nightstand. I approached the bottle, as I grabbed it, and slowly sat at the edge of the bed.

"When will you ever stop drinking, father?", I sighed, before standing up, and went to my room instead.

I threw my worn out body into my bed, as I looked up to the ceiling. "Ah, how long am I going to live like this?"

Coming home to a drunk father, dropped out of college, not knowing my mother's whereabout.

My dad is unemployed, and to make it worse, he is a hardcore gambler, which explains our endless financial issues.

I dropped out of college under my father's demand, saying that it'll only burden him more with the quite high fees.

But I don't think that was the actual problem, it's just that he doesn't want to pay my college fees.

My dad is such an asshole, and I don't know how did I managed to stay with him for this long despite the miseries he had caused me.

Everytime he came home drunk, he always let his anger out at me, hitting me, slapping me, basically everything about physical abuse.

I am really tired of living my life, and I really want to get out of this house, but the thing is, he is the only family that I have now.

Unless I can find my mother.

Dad never liked the idea of me trying to look for mom, and he would refrain me from doing so in any possible ways.

I shifted my body position into facing my right side, staring at my own reflection on the mirror, as my eyes travelled to my body, and I had bruises all over my arms.

I just hope I can stop living like this someday.

Well, if that even possible.

I was about to drift off to dreamland, until I felt my leg being pulled towards my bedroom door.

My eyes shot wide opened, as I saw my father dragging me towards the front door. "Father, what are you doing??"

"Come with me," he grunted, and dragged me again, not bothering me who's ranting to be set free.

"W-where are you taking me??", I asked him, and he finally released my foot, as he turned around to grab a shopping bag.

He threw the shopping back right at my face, as I slowly picked it up from the floor, and took out whatever that's in the bag.

My eyes widened at the dress I'm holding, as I looked up to my dad. "Father, why are you giving me this??"

"Put it on, we're going to somewhere to meet my friends.", he said coldly.

"No,"

As he heard me protesting, a hard slap came across my cheek, as my eyes started to water.

"Put the fucking dress on!", my father growled, as I put on the tight black off shoulder dress.

The dress is way too short, to the point that people would be able to see my underwear if I bowed a little.

"What's taking you so long??", my father yelled from the living room, as I came out of my room, in that dress.

Then, my father grabbed my hand, as he forced me out of the house, and dragged me to his car, as he drove to somewhere.

15 minutes later, we came to a stop in front of the biggest nightclub in Seoul, as my eyes widened at the sight in front of me; people giving blowjobs bluntly, grinding against each other, kissing aggressively and more things that shouldn't be witnessed at all.

"W-what are we doing here?", I asked, which came out as a stutter.

"I need money, and you are going to earn them for me.", he said. "Let's go,"

He dragged me by my arm, as we approached the entrance, and music is blasting all across the room, as I hung my head low, not wanting to witness anything worse.

We stopped in front of a room, with muscular bodyguards along the hallway, protecting the area.

My father pushed the door opened, as he shoved me into the room, causing me to stumble, and eventually fell onto the floor.

"So this is your daughter?", I heard a man spoke, as I looked up to the person wearing a shiny leather shoes in front of me.

"Hello, sweetie," he smirked, as he gently lifted my face by my chin.

"What a pretty little girl," he said, before shifting his attention back to my father.

"Get him his 10 million won now,"

I looked up to my father, as I crawled towards him, wrapping my arms around his legs.

"Father, please don't do this to me! I'm begging you,"

He kicked me off his feet, as a man in black handed him a black briefcase. He bent down to my level,

"From now on, you're going to stay here. Don't even think about going back," he said, and left.

"No, no! Father, no!", I screamed, and two men grabbed my arms, dragging me towards a bedroom.

They threw me into the king sized bed, and the two men left, but then the man earlier walked in, taking off his coat.

He slowly approached me with an evil smirk on his face, as I scooted further away from him, until my back hit the header.

The man started undressing, as he leaned closer towards me, burrying his face into the crook of my neck.

He started planting butterfly kisses all over my collarbone, and that is when an idea popped up in my mind.

I slowly wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer towards me, and I could feel his smirk against my skin.

"Ah," I moaned out fakely, as he went lower, and lower, until he reaches my abdomen, slowly lifting up my tight dress.

I took the chance to grab a lamp from the nightstand, and swayed it towards his head, as he fell onto the bed.

I wasted no time, as I ran out of the place after fixing my dress, and somehow I ended up in a parking lot of a shopping mall.

The man's bodyguards are coming after me, and luck was on my side, when a guy unlocked his black car, but then he was interrupted by a newly received call.

I quickly sneaked into his car silently while he's distracted by the phone call.

A few minutes later, he came back, sitting in the driver seat, as he turned around to place a box of lamb skewers into the backseat, and that is when I knew I'm doomed.

His eyes widened at my presence, as he backed away, not wanting to get near me.

"Who are you??"
