The sun shining through the sheer curtains of the room, illuminating the whole room with yellow light waking you up from your restless slumber. You sat up on your bed, rubbing your eyes with your fist, you sigh sliding out of your blanket and dragged your feet towards your bathroom.Grief never left you after the death of your father, your mom has be a troublesome since then. Treating you nothing like her own child. Forcing you to overwork yourself for the necessities of house, managing your studies on the other hand. Even though you worked hard all day and night to get enough money, your mom would still call you useless.
Looking at the reflection of yourself in the mirror, a tear escape your eyes, asking 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘪 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴. You wiped it before it trail down from your cheek and wash your face. If only this water could wash away your problems. Forcing yourself out of the house, your body aching for rest but you had no time for that.
Walk up the bus station disappointed that it already left without you. It happened third time this week, your stomach growled in hunger but you held it, your head spinning but you kept dragging your feet
Your eyes gently opened realizing that your head was laying on your desk as you doze off. Yawn sitting up on your chair looking around confused at the empty classroom. „Itʼs lunch time yn, everyone is outside“ following the deep voice you looked in front at the teachers desk.
Professor Lee, your psychology teacher was speaking, he passed you a soft smile that made you feel a little less bad. „I felt bad waking you up because you seeomed to be in a really bad condition“ he said politely as he walked towards your desk.
He was one teacher everyone loved, because he was really friendly and helpful towards evergone. „Is there something on your mind lately?“ he asked looking outside the window. He looked at you and his eyebrows curl up „no“ you replied with a fake smile.
„according to human nature, a teenager is most likely to be a patient of insomnia because of overthinking“ he slightly touch his two fingers at the skin on your neck under your jaw.
„Is everything alright yn?“ he knew you were comfortable with him. He slightly noded to let you know itʼs alright. He sat down on your seatmates chair „Itʼs ok, I know you probably donʼt have any friends so if you wanna open up, you can open up to me and if you wanna cry“ he gave you a assuring smile.
„Just think of me as your friend “
„In my family itʼs just me and my mother, my dad died in an accident in the factory he worked in. So Iʼm the one who works and brings home money, itʼs hard to adjust with a little amount of money i get from my part time work at the store but itʼs enough for us to survive.“ you sigh before continuing.
„Thats not the thing thats been on my mind, Iʼm fine with all overworking myself but“ you paused again for a sigh. Spark from the tears building up in your eyes before you let out the real reason that was stressing you out „My mom, she recently signed up a deal with a few men that theyʼd give her a lot of money if she sold me to them“
His heart ached at your painful reality, his hand found itʼs way up to your head giving you slight pats. At the time he was too stunned to say anything to you but in his head he was planning.

You walked towards your house, and spotted a huge car outside. Those people where here again, two guys exited they looked towards you recognizing who you were immediately, those two men were dressed really edgy and shot you bad looks smirking at you.
You felt really disgusted and briskly moved inside your house. You threw your bag on the sofa and headed inside the drawing room where you found your mom seated on the sofa. „Mom! enough already!! Iʼm sick and tired of your treatment! sometimes i doubt youʼre my real mother!“
„Oh, donʼt be silly yn! Just look at this I already have my 1 lakh cash in front of me“ she said pointing at the suitcase placed on the table, anger bubbling up in your blood. You couldnʼt control your scream, your mother looked at you with her eyes widened.
„donʼt be overdramatic yn, go to the store Mr. Kim is waiting for you“ she said without caring. „Why should I go there? You have your money!“ you yelled before trying to walk away but the lady behind you grabbed your hood and pulled you back. „Huh? What did you just said? Iʼm not paying rent for this filthy house of yours! Iʼm saving up to buy a big mansion after I get rid of you“ she rolled her eyes.
You sigh in defeat feeling useless, if only you had enough will and money to run away from this horrible situation but youʼve already gaven up on life, there was nothing you could do and no one you could ask for help.
You dragged youʼre feet outside of the house inhaling in some fresh air in your lungs before you burst into tears again. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦

He stood in front of his glass door viewing the scenery outside his balcony door, he stared at the nature opposite to his luxurious house. He sigh before he spoke to one of his people.„Mister Jung, I want you to do something for me“ his tone calm as always, his aura making the person bow in front of him „your wish is my command sir!“

12:00am
You had a really great surprise when you reached home. „Youʼre going tomorrow“ your mom told you as you passed by her room. Facepalming yourself you annoyingly walked away, slamming the door shut „guess youʼre time is over yn! Better pack your bag-“ you paused and started chuckling like a psychopath„what are you saying yn? You donʼt have anything to pack! HAHAHAHA“ throwing yourself on to the bed placing your hand on your growling stomach „shut up and let me at leats get some sleep before my life turns into an actual hell!“ scolding it.

10:00am
Your eyes opened to your alarm clock buzzing, you pulled out your face from your pillow before you stood up and walked towards the bathroom you could hear the sound of a car horn, sigh realizing today youʼll be going.Going to face the worst part of your life, there was no time to prepare yourself. You headed out your room after changing and saw your mother standing on the door, you let out a long sigh walking towards her „get out“ you rolled your eyes at her „at least you could say a better goodbye before I leave forever“
You said to her and she grabbed your cheek giving you a harsh pinch „aw my daughter yn is leaving! I will certainly not miss you“ you scoff getting out of your house not even wanting to turn around and look at it for the last time.
You sat down inside the black car which stood in front of your door step. A lady was sitting next to you on the back seat dressed in formal, you did not dared to talk to her and neither did she. The car ride was quiet and better than what you expect from the guys you saw the other day leaving you in a little confusion.
Your heart raised as the big gates opened wide for the car to head inside the huge house. Someone from outside opened the door for you to come out of the car. „Welcome home, yn!“ a familiar voice spoke, you looked at the person whom it belonged to and you were left in shock
It was your Professor Lee. He smiled
