Running from home

"Hey Y/N, hold on please"

Walking down the empty street ahead I suddenly look back when I heard a familiar voice echoing from afar, I tried to guess who it could be as I hastened my step down the street not seeing the street light pole ahead as I bump unto the pole hissing out in pain, not wanting to stumble any further I gather myself as I try to make a run for it again but failed when a hand grabbed my arms.

" Are you okay? Why are you running from me?"

Fuck

Slowly I looked up at the person that owes the voice as my heart dropped to my stomach.

" Are you okay?" the person asked again

" yes I'm good, what do you want?" I replied not wanting to be there anymore

"You know you can't continue this way, you're going to end up hurting yourself and the people around you. Just come back Y/N" he said.

Hitting his hand away I tried to ignore him and keep walking but he held my arms again this time tightening his grip on me.

"Y/N stop this please" He tried to plead.

" I can't Hansol, I can't, please just let me go" I pleaded, trying to hold back the tears that has started to build up in my eyes, I just want to leave this place as soon as possible I want to be free and be able to breathe properly, I don't want to be some Disney Princess that has to be locked up and wait for her fate. I want to change my fate and I know staying there more won't give me the will to do it, so I decided to live by the fate I'm going to create for myself. Looking at Hansol I feel some kind of pity creeping into my heart because I know he must have had sleepless nights trying to find me and then it hit me

" How did you find me? Please don't tell me the others are with you.... Hansol please I don't want to go back there just let me go...?" I cried

I'm screwed now

" you're right I'm not alone.... The others are here... And your father too" I see the sadness in his eyes.

As if I'm being struck by a bolt of angry lightning trying to digest what I just heard I stumbled back as my legs failed my body..

No no no he can't find me, I don't want to go back there... He's going to kill me now.

" let me go Hansol... Father can't find me this way please, help me.."

" I'm sorry Y/N but we must follow orders.. You know too well that none of us can risk disobeying your father" He said.

Becoming fully aware of the situation and the consequences lurking around I responded to my instincts, quickly and smartly taking the hairpin holding my hair, I stabbed Hansol in his right arm, taking the opportunity again I kicked him on his leg disabling his stance entirely, knowing it's only going to work for a few seconds until he comes at me, I ran farther down the street cutting to my left I continued running down not even knowing if there's an exit.... I felt my stamina failing me but I can't give up now, I stubbornly dragged my body to steady myself from falling but immediately I raised my eyes to continue my escape I felt my spirit completely leave my soul, my whole life flashing before me when I lay eyes on the man standing before me in all his glory, I let out a strangled gasp as I fall on my knees all my confidence and plans vanishing with each breath I take.... I've been running for days, hiding and using fake IDs to avoid being caught but here I am standing before no other than my father, Mr. Choi Kang-Dae the most dreaded and feared man in the whole country.. The only reason I'm probably standing alive right now is one valid reason and that is because I'm his little stubborn princess but seeing the fire and anger in his eyes maybe I'm not that princess anymore. Kneeling there dreading every second that passes I see my father coming nearer to me and I know more than to stay quiet.

Save me, dear lord

" look who we got here... Choi Y/N I know quite well I didn't raise you to rebel against me," Father said signaling one of the men to pick me up. Knowing it's now over as I meet my father's glare I swallow a hard lump down my throat so scared to look him in the eyes.

" No father you didn't raise me that way but all I need right now is freedom, I want to be free from all of this I don't belong to this world"

I said trying to look tough but all the toughness went down the drain immediately my face was met with my father's hot slap causing me to fall straight to the ground, I could swear I saw stars right in front of me.... I could certainly taste my blood from the cut it left inside my mouth, not that I was not expecting something like this but I was taken unaware because father has never raised his hand on me ever.

I was so scared I could no longer hold back the tears that are fighting so hard to escape from my eyes...

Father hit me?..

" That is not what I was expecting to hear from you Miss Choi Y/N, maybe you know better than to talk back at me. You don't know the gravity of what you did and I don't see any remorse in you!!...." He barked at me. I was beginning to feel dizzy as those words dawned on me.....

I'm never going to escape from this, this is my reality.

" I'm sorry father please forgive me, I have done something bad that attracts a punishment," I said..

" Oh princess this is certainly not just a punishment, we have to make it sound more plural so it can only be fair, right?" He asserted

" Take her to the car let's go home" he ordered the men and I was led to the car where we all drove down to my dreaded fate..
