Chapter 2: A new morning

Yeji•|

I woke up still in this room that he called 'our's'. I directly went to the bathroom to wash my face. I haven't been here a whole day but It feels like months, years since I was brought here.

How are my parents doing there? I hope they're safe.

I sighed before walking out the bathroom, I hesitated first to open the knob but it would be meaningless if I would just stand there thinking on opening it.

I was welcomed by a much more warm atmosphere. It was much different from the room I had slept in. I took steps down and went where my feet lead me to nowhere.

As I got to one area that perhaps is the kitchen I found 3 people on it's counter talking about something. The two are unknown to me while the other one was the one that I would not forget maybe my entire life.

The girl in between them noticed me as I observed her nudge the two men beside her. They quickly looked at me the unfamiliar boy was scanning me from head to foot while the Yeonjun guy has his smirk on.

It was like a staring contest between the four of us, until the girl approached me and bowed at me. I didn't know what to do so I just bowed as well. She chuckled a bit from our small interaction.

"Good morning madam, I will be your maid. I will be the one that you are going to call where you need help or service." she introduced herself, smiling from ear to ear.

"I'm Yeji, a pleasure to meet you." I said respectfully as I gave her a faint smile.

"The pleasure is mine, you may have your sit on the kitchen counter as I prepare your breakfasts." she said and went back to the area, as she said I went to the kitchen counter and sat one one stool.

After fixing my shirt I looked up to the men in front of me. They were like seeing through my clothes from the stares they have for me.

I faked a cough pertaining that I'm a bit awkward with the situation. I saw them flinch before returning from the invisible world they were making while staring at me.

"Good morning sunshine." Yeonjun said while he rests his head on his hand.

"Good morning." I greeted casually and stared at the other guy. I gave him the smile that I made earlier as he was still in trance.

My eyes didn't missed how Yeonjun nudged the guy beside as if we were like having a staring contest. I saw him shake his head before smiling at me like nothing happened.

"I'm sorry let me introduce myself first, I'm the head butler of this mansion. All of your needs will be given solution with just one call from me or from your maid." he said pointing at the girl that was plating our meals.

He excused himself and went to the door just at the corner. My eyes followed him as he went out in to the great unknown.

I checked the wall clock just over the oven in the kitchen it's 7:00 a.m.

"How come it's dark outside?"

I looked around the place, it was a wide area that divides kitchen and dinning area from what I suppose is the living room? They're honestly lots of doors in this place but you can't see any window. The bulbs serve as the only light in this place.

"Always stay in the kitchen, bedroom or living room in this house. Don't open random doors, that's my first order." he said as I was just able to nod at him.

He has this melody that can make you obey him, it also shows power, it resembles how he is up in life and not just some normal people.

"Second, don't you ever think going outside. Do you know what happens when they go outside without any order to do it?" he asked before putting out his thumb and making a straight line along his neck. "Dead."

That word made my heart go through an irregular behavior. Like he placed a lot of weight into that word making it not just a simple word. It gives a deeper meaning.

"Got anything to say?" he asked while he looks intently, reading me like I was an open book.

"When can I get out of this hell?"

"How c-can I call the maid or butler when I need anything." was all I had to say, I'd better be careful of the words that comes out of my mouth.

"Here." he slides a phone to my direction. "That is no ordinary phone, you'll have access to different sites that I have chosen. You cannot download different communication apps or social media apps. The only communication you'll have is from your maid, your butler and me. That is not an ordinary phone darling, I'm not that dumb to not know." he said as he pinched my cheeks.

"Breakfast is served," she handed out the plates. "I see that you have already received the special phone. Call me when you need anything." she said before going through the door the boy went earlier.

"The food won't eat itself." I snapped back from my trance, he was already eating it while looking at me. He raised an eyebrow and looked at the food.

I sighed before munching on it, the whole eating time was quiet only the spoons and forks that hits the plate can be heard throughout.

I couldn't say anything negative about it, it's really delicious. It was the best pancakes I have ever tasted.

As soon as I finished it he was already wiping the cream that was in his face. I grabbed our plates and went straight to the sink, I started washing it.

I guess I was used to it since I always do it in my house and my parents have to prepare for work.

I suddenly remember my parents. I still can't believe that they were hiding something from me. I guess they broke another promise.

"Always tell us what is happening in your life and we promise to tell your our's."

That was the time that I got bullied at school and I didn't tell them anything. They just knew when I was about to die and the principal called them because of the incident.
