{Y/N's POV}

Driving nearer to the massive gate that encloses the giant mansion that stood tall exuding nothing but power and authority, the one place I've been in all my life.

Not that I don't go out but that only happens when there are some of the men following me or having my brothers with me, now thinking of my brothers I missed them so much.

I know I threw them all in a tight spot when I ran from home, don't get me wrong my family loves me, and I grew up as their little princess with so much love from all of them after my mom passed away while having me, even though her death took a toll on them they never gave up on me.

I was given everything I could ever ask of except for the absolute freedom of being able to explore the world and my surroundings because of the kind of man my father is and the world I live in. As I get older I began craving more liberty to do most things on my own.

Growing up I enjoyed all of the things I was provided with, everything I needed was in the mansion but I think as an adult my view of aspects deviated.

Opening the gigantic gate brought me out of my trance as we begin to drive down the main house, tons of men in black could be seen from all angles of the mansion all rooted to their posts. Thinking back to my very escape from this place I think I need to buy myself a drink of acknowledgment for bypassing my father's tight security, I can say my years of being in here with them also worked as a tip for me.

My brothers were already at the main door, I can see both anger and care in their eyes as they stand there. I was ready to be scolded, the slap my father gave me earlier still stings and I felt a teardrop when one of the men open the expensive car door, and I slowly walked to meet my brothers.

" How could you endanger your life and run out like that? Don't you know something bad could have happened?... Did you know how worried everyone was, you acted rashly kid!!! What if one of our enemies had caught you? Did you think they were going to receive you with open arms and a lavish party?!!.... I'm so disappointed in you right now!!!" 

A hot scold resounded from my oldest brother Choi Jong-Dae, I could tell he was so angry and also worried it made me almost regret my decision.

I'm sorry Jong-Dae Oppa.

I'm now so weak I didn't have the strength to stand there I just want to crawl into my bed and cry.

" I'm sorry Oppa, I acted without thinking. I didn't mean to cause so much chaos"  I mumbled

" Was I not gi-" my second brother stopped halfway as he noticed the red cut on my face " what happened to you?... Why is there a cut on your face?"  he was outraged.

" Father slapped me jun-seo, I deserve it...." I told him

He was taken aback because they all knew father has never raised his hands on me before, I think there's a first for everything sadly this is one of them.. He extended his gaze to father and from the corner of my eyes I can see a tiny bit of regret from father but he was not backing down now.

" Take her inside," father said to Hansol  " you two come with me" I heard him say to my brothers and they all walked into the house.

Now with Hansol near me, I was feeling bad for what I did to him back there. The place I stabbed him was still stained with blood, I know he was as worried as my brothers were and I regretted doing that to him.

" I'm sorry Hansol, I wasn't in my right mind when I did that I hope you forgive me" I muttered

He came closer to me and patted my head raising my face to meet his gaze " I'm not angry Y/N, I'm just happy we were able to find you and this" he said pointing at his stabbed arm " it's nothing, I expect you to strike harder next time. Your strike was weak, I didn't train you all these years for a weak strike"  he lectured me and at the same time with care in his voice.

That only made me feel more bad and remorseful because aside from everything else, my family loves me so much and I love them too. They care too much about me and can walk to the other side of the earth to protect me but I only give them nothing but trouble and worry.

" Thank you Hansol, I never meant to hurt your arm," I told him.

"It's okay Y/N, you're my favorite cousin and I love you.... Now let's take you inside" he held my hand as we made our way inside the house to my room.

" oh my goodness Y/N Ah, my baby. How could you do this to this old woman, aigoo do you want my BP to be higher than this?" my nanny said running out from the other room to hold me in a tight hug.

Nana Minso has been my mother figure since birth, she practically took care of all the Choi kids but had to take special care of me after my mother's demise, she has become a family since she lost her husband. She isn't very old like she'll always calls herself but you can still see some wrinkles on her beautiful face, all the Choi kids love her and we all call her Nana. Watching her closely and resting my head on her chest while she pats my hair I feel some wave of relief washed over me but I know it isn't far until I get to face my punishments.

" I'm sorry Nana, how are you?.... I'm a bad kid" I mumbled

" aigoo poor kid, did you get to eat well? Look at you you've got slimmer, and look at your beautiful face there's a cut too.." she kissed my forehead

"Nana I missed you" I whimpered

" I miss you too princess, don't do this again. Do you know your father and the boys never had a minute of sleep since you were gone?... The whole house was tensed up" she said.

As she said that I looked at Hansol and once again I regretted my actions, maybe I shouldn't have run away and found another way instead.

Oh, now I don't know how to face Appa.

" I'm never running again Nana...l-l- I'm sorry Nana" I was now crying.

" Nana I'll go meet the others and leave her with you," Hansol said bowing to Nana

After he left I was taken into my room where I just flop myself on the bed and Nana watched me with pitiful eyes, she understands me and the reason I wanted to be free but she can't do much. She knows the kind of world we live in and she has been with us for 30 years now and she has loved us all with all her heart.

{THIRD PERSON POV}

"What do we do about her?" Jong-Dae asks his father who was seated calmly in the expensive leather office chair.

" she knows what she will get herself into before taking that decision, so she's going to bear the consequences that come with it," His father said.

"I still don't know why she wants to leave here... Are we not giving her enough attention?" Jun-seo said.

For all, they know Y/N has received a lot of love from all of them since she was little, and even if their father is a busy man he never denies her the attention she truly deserves. Maybe it's not enough, Y/N is their only sister and they will give the world to make her happy, and seeing her present condition saddens him so much. As much as he wants their father to punish her, he just wants to go to her room and give her a big hug, he doesn't even know if she was able to eat properly during the five days she has run away...

" she's going to be locked up with no access to her phone or any accessories that might give her the chance to run again, Jong-Dae tighten the security in her suite.... She will not step out of the suite until she reflects on her actions." turning to Hansol who was now in the room " How is your arm?.. That kid must have gone wild to have stabbed you with her hairpin.." he said with his head on his palms.

" Father don't you think locking her up will scare her more?.. S-ss he might want to run again" Jong-Dae said showing concern for his little sister.

" Father Hyung is right, locking her up isn't the best option right now... We don't want her to get more distant, I could already see the pain and remorse in her eyes." Jun-seo affirmed

" I think she already regretted her actions and I can say I'm impressed even if she has to stab me, Y/N has never had the heart to hurt even a fly and her stabbing me only makes me think she can defend herself now, her strike was stronger than I imagined." Hansol who has been silent chirps in.

Looking at the boys Choi Kang-Dae knows what they are trying to do, they don't want her to get punished. They care for her too much, and he knows they would be more than capable to protect her if he's no more with them BUT he still wants to discipline her...

" Do you think her strike would have saved her if one of our enemies got to her first? the Jeons' wouldn't have missed out on the opportunity, our sources also said they sent out hunters on her as soon as the information got out... Had it happened, do you think we would find her back alive!!!" now getting agitated thinking about how he would have lost his only daughter " she took the biggest risk ever and I want her to know that!!!" he blew hot on them.

The three guys not knowing how to react could only bow their heads not wanting to tense the boss further.  " lock her up for a whole week with tight security and Hansol you are going to double your workout and training with her" he told them.

"Yes sir" they all answered.

" Hansol, tell your father to meet up at the east wing when he's home I have things to discuss with him," He said to him

"Yes sir" he answered and then they all bowed and left the room.
