.A few minutes later two maids entered with a cart.
"Madam," said one of the maids walking towards me handing me a set of clothes.
"Why," I asked making them smile.
"Because your mother would have wanted us to," they simply said."Please hurry young madam we don't have much time," stated one of the maids asI stood up and hurriedly changed.
I changed into one of the maid's outfits. I styled my hair so that my face was covered and so did the maids.
I exhaled before taking the cart and exiting my room. One of the maids stayed behind.
I followed the maid before we came to a sudden halt. We were in the kitchen. I lifted my head to see a group of maids anxiously waiting.
"Young madam," whispered all of them at once. "Are you okay," asked one of the maids making me gently nod.
"Here," she said handing me a bag filled with food and daily essentials.
"Leave Young Madam," stated another maid as they opened the back door letting the moonlight enter the room. I slowly exited the building and before I knew it, I was out of the building.
I turned around to look at the maids to find each one bowing at me. I bowed back before running into the night. My escape was interrupted by a sudden scream.
"She escaped," hearing these words I ran as fast as I could. I didn't care where I was going I just wanted to leave this place.
I ran for what seemed like an eternity before reaching the streets. I entered a restaurant before heading to the bathroom. I changed into the outfits given by the maids.
I put on a mask before exiting the restaurant's bathroom.

"Excuse me miss are you okay," asked one of the waiters making me anxiously nod my head before exiting the building.
I looked around spotting a bus stop. Without thinking twice I got in. I sat down in the last row taking a lot out the window. The scenery was spectacular. The city lights glimmered like the stars in the night. Once again lost in thought I let everything around me disappear.
"Miss this is the last stop," yelled the bus driver making me jolt from my seat and exit. I looked around realizing that I was in the middle of nowhere. People are surrounded by a dark aura. I gulped before grasping my courage by hand and walking.
I stopped at a hostel with big glowing letters stating "GOSHIWON"
"Excuse me a room for one night," I asked the front desk lady. She had an aura not different from the people outside. I might even say worst.
"Sorry we can only rent a room for one month," replied the lady making me bite my lip. "I can offer you a discount since it's my first time seeing you around," continued the lady.
"How much," I asked my eyes glimmering in hope.
"100$ each month," responded the lady making my heart slump.
"I'll take it," I replied.
After our little conversation, I was led to my room. The halls were filled with the stench of cigarettes and alcohol. Explicit noises made their way around the building.
"Here," said the lady handing me a pair of keys. "By the way my name is Kim. Hope you have a great stay," she finished making me slightly bow.
I penetrated the room locking it with a chair.
I sat down on the mattress before closing my eyes.

BANG BANG
I abruptly opened my eyes turning my head towards the door. The loud banging noise continued.
"Yah Open the door," yelled the person on the other side. I grabbed the keys before sliding the teeth in between my fingers. Cautiously I opened the door only leading a streak of light to enter.
"How can I help you," I stuttered making the person on the other side title their head.
"Sorry wrong room," quickly replied shadow before rushing off.
I quickly closed the door and took a glance at the clock. It was 5:00 am.
Who was that person, what did they want, and who did they think I was? I opened the bag before grabbing a hoodie and quickly changing. I took the money and exited the building.
I grabbed my bag and exited the building cautiously. I suddenly halted my steps when a familiar voice sounded in my ears. My heart skipped a beat. They found me. I looked around because walk out of the building as quietly and calmly as possible.
Just as I did so a sensation was felt from my shoulder. I clutched my bag ready to run. Removing the hand from my shoulder I ran towards the door exiting.
The bright sunlight hit my face making me squint my eyes. I looked around the small alley finding an opening. I jumped the fence in the nick of time.
"Seonyoung," Yelled do-ha running towards the fence. "Come back to me," he said in a heavy tone.
"I don't want to," I replied making him scoff." Yah Seonyoung, I said get back here," replied Do-ha.
I wanted to answer but no words exited my words. I looked at him one more time before running once again. I ran until my legs started shaking.
It's 6:30 pm.
My legs were shaking, my heart was pumping. I grabbed a nearby pole, exerting my strength on it.
I was tired, mentally and physically. I couldn't take it anymore I was ready to accept my fate. I grabbed my breath, before turning around.
Consciousily, I walked towards them. Suddenly my eye sight diverted to the stop lights. I felt as if I was slowly falling.
THUD
Everything around me seemed to be spinning. A tear, exiting my eyes.
"Save me," I mouthed, words barely eixting my mouth.
