C7 Hana’s POV 7

Darkness is beginning to settle in the sky already. I can see the beauty of the sky through the transparent balcony glass of the guest room. I hope I'm done with my work for the day and I'll be allowed to take a rest. I've earlier finished mopping the whole lobby leading to Master Jin's apartment, but the evil man gave me more work to do. I don't have a phone, and there's no wall clock in this room, but I'm sure it's almost bedtime. If he doesn't allow to me to sleep properly, I'm not sure I'll be able to function tomorrow.

I pick my cleaning tools from the floor, and walk out of the room, feeling a temptation to look into the other rooms in the corridor. But I am scared that Master Jin will catch me and punish me for snooping into his privacy.

I stop in front of a mirror on the wall of the corridor, the reflection of my face looking so bad. My under eye circles have darkened and there's this tiny little grazes like whip lines on my cheeks. I must've gotten them in the process of being transported after Min had sold me out. That scumbag! I wish he gets hit by a car and turn to a cripple! I wish he never get to have a peaceful sleep forever.

I want to push the frustrating thoughts to the back of my mind and just focus on surviving, but this feeling is so overwhelming. I don't realize I'm crouching down on the floor and holding myself together until I feel the cold beneath me. My body trembles and the tears I've been struggling to hold suddenly begin to stream down from my eyes uncontrollably.

I thought I promised myself not to cry, but I feel so flustered. I can't believe what I'm going through at the moment. How did I end up becoming a servant to some Mafia organization? This shouldn't be happening to me.

I've had enough trouble growing up without knowing my parents. I didn't get to enjoy any comforts of life. Kai took me in from an orphanage when I was a child. Even though we're not blood related, he's done his best for me, but life has never been easy for the both of us. Running multiple part time jobs since when I was in high school has thought me so many lessons in life. I don't have the energy to compete or be jealous of anyone, I just want to be happy, free and safe from toxic people.

Where did everything go wrong?

I heard sounds of a rapid movement approaching the corridor, making me to quickly wipe away my tears. By the time Master Jin's frame emerges from the door entrance, I'm back on my feet, pretending to be packing my hair into a bun.

"Are you crying?" Master Jin asks. His voice has a hint of suspicion, but I know better than to raise my face and look him. He'll definitely see my tears.

"No Sir." I reply, nodding my head.

Without a word, Master Jin disappears from where he was standing. I drop my legs into a squat, placing my face in my palms as I silently continue to sob. I feel so helpless, I don't know how to help Kai when I'm so useless. When I have no power or anyone on my side. I feel the presence of someone squatting down next to me, his hand touching my hair.

"Ya, dumpling, raise your head." Master Jin's voice suddenly falls into my ears. "You know you are being a nuisance to me. Why are you crying? Are you sick? Or are you just craving to return to the slums?" He asks, chuckling.

Why did he even come back if he is going to end up calling me a dumpling? The frustration swells even more inside me, making my sob louder. I ignore him and continue to cry harder. He and his stupid men are the people responsible for my situation, how shameless of him to pretend like he cares, asking whether I'm sick.

"I learned that you do not have a parent." He keeps rambling in my ears. "And with your older brother gone, you won't be able to make ends meet, pay your house rents and live a comfortable life by working such lowly part time jobs. This place is better for you, you work and you can get paid double salary if you. . ." His voice trails as he push my hair back and begin to pat my head like a pet. "Surrender yourself to me." I hear his annoying chuckles again, which instantly sends a signal to my brain. I thought he doesn't laugh? And why is he suddenly talking about surrendering myself to him?

My eyes shoot wide open as I look up for the first time to observe his face closely. He's smirking and staring at me like a dirty pervert. I perceive the smell and flinch the moment he brings his face close to me pouting like he's going to peck me. He reeks of alcohol, and I'm sure he has no idea what he's currently doing. Am sure he'll be so embarrassed once he gets sober and remember.

I use my index finger to push his forehead away from me. "Excuse me, you're drunk Sir. Please return to your room."

"Return to my room?" He blurts out the words laughing. A snort escapes out of him as he points to my face, his face turning rigid within a matter of seconds. "Ya. You little wench, you think you can order me around when I'm your Master? Come here!" He throws his large arm in the air in an attempt to catch me, but I dodge his hands and scramble to my feet in a rush of panic. "Ya! Come here!" I hear him yelling behind me while I take to my feet, looking for an escape.

I push the first door I see, but it turns out to be locked! I try to make out which among the rooms is the guest bedroom I've finished cleaning just a while back. There are about a total of eight black doors in the corridor, and I can't seem to remember which door is which.

I turn around and see Master Jin's hands about to grab me again, but before he does, I ball my fist tightly and send a straight punch on the tip of his nose. I regret it immediately I see him staggering back before he looses his balance. He fall onto the floor and starts wailing and holding his nose.

"What have you done?"

I flinch in horror and freeze in my spot, my eyes glued on a beautiful woman in a red dress who has just spoken. What is she doing in here? Is she his mistress?
