Same Night
12:47 a.m.

With utter caution, I tiptoe my way out of my room, my white sneakers squelching lowly against the carpeted floor as I slid my way from the 2nd floor to the ground floor successfully.
I hush a victory sigh as I looked around for any obstacles in my way.

Never in my millionth dreams, had I dreamt of running away from own house and that also, a day prior to my own wedding. I mentally noted the point that I needed to pat my back later on, for my bravery. If I won this battle, of course.

As I was about to pass by the massive living room's sofa, I noticed a silhouette moving out of the kitchen with a tray, almost panicking, I ducked my head down in a hurry as I sweated profusely out of fear.

I knew very well, that if in anyway, I got caught running away in the middle of the night...there shall be no extent to the humiliation and mental torture that I might have to face. I shall be doomed by my own ferocious family, or even worse, burnt in hellfire.

When shuffling sound of the feet went by, I took another sigh in relief but it was a cue for me to execute my plan as soon as possible before getting caught red handed.

Still on my all fours, I crawled my way to the backyard's door that lead to the exit of the bunglow. Dusting off the dirt from my white night gown, and my denim jacket, I slowly turned the door knob, in attempt not to even make a single pin drop noise, by any of my careless actions.

Crap!

I could hear someone pacing up their way towards me...I urgently turned the door knob and without a second thought, I jumped out of the door on the velvety grass of my bunglow's backyard, and for the life of me, I ran from there as fast as I could. After all my efforts & hard work, I couldn't afford to get caught at last.

As I was a few meters away from the bunglow, dashing my way through our driveway, my eardrums almost reached at the verge of bleeding by a loud screech followed by screams in loud clear words, enough for our neighbours to hear.

" Mrs Haren!?? Mrs Haren!?...Miss Y/n!?... She's running away from the house, Mr Lee, Please come fast, Mr Lee!!!" One of our housemaids shouted at top of her lungs.

I knew, I had messed up and there was no way back now, as my feet took me to our bunglow's boundary and like a lagoon, I jumped on it and then down from it on the top of a car, sliding myself down from the car's roof, catching my breath I ran to the opposite of the lane like a maniac, feeling like an athelete with my sports sneakers on.

By the time I could realise, I was already running on the main Street of Seoul, and it would be an understatement, if I say that I wasn't running as fast as the cars on Seoul's smooth roads, god damn it! I felt I was literally competing with them!!

At last, I decided to have mercy on my feet as I stopped infront of a bus stand. Taking in deep breaths in one go, I flared my nostrils, feeling devasted by all the happenings in just a matter of past two hours.

I knew it wasn't safe enough to halt at the bus stand for too long, as my parents may arrive there at any time.
I again took the note out of my small backpack hanging from my shoulders, as I registered the address in my head.

Very soon, much to my relief, a bus arrived and I get on it with my small and weightless luggage.

At the moment, I wasn't exactly sure how was I feeling. It all seemed to me that I was strangled in my own web and thinking about getting my way clearly out of this mess was overwhelming to think about. My stomach was surely doing flips inside as half of me felt tremendously horrified by my own daring stunt, while the other was giddily dancing with joy, the happiness to be free for the first time ever in my life, getting rid of the suffocation I suffered through all these years, in my household...my insides were erupting with jumbled emotions, and I thought it was safe to not conclude anything at the moment.

Time Skip

My eyes scanned the lobby of the luxurious hotel, it seemed to outweigh my power of seeing too much shining objects all at once...if extravagance was something, it was exactly inculcated here. Everything felt as if it was made up of glass, reflecting back golden shimmering light all over the place.

I turned my feet to the receptionist counter, where a young man seated in his well-suited formal attire.
" Excuse me, may I know which room is Mr. Park Chanyeol staying in tonight??" I asked politely, but my insides felt too jumpy to make me stay upright in one one position without shifting my weight from one foot to another.
He seemed to detect my uneasiness and discomfort, or rather should I say, he grew suspicious about me.

" Um...Miss I can't allow you to see someone at this hour until it is consented by our guest...do you have the consent??" He said with his eyes darting at my figure from head to toe.

I grew tensed for some unknown reason as he stared at me with irrational eyes. I followed his gaze and I immediately realised as to why he was staring at me with those unamusing eyes of his...
The night gown that was hanging to my lean body was all muddy and soiled and it appeared to me that I surely looked like a mad woman who must've ran away from a mental health care in midnight...I mentally cringed at my own logical thinking.

I cleared my throat to ease the awkwardness in the air, as he looked unamused by my silence.

"Umm, I'm sorry but it'll be a great help if you could understand my situation, I need to meet this person right away very urgently, I beg you to let me in, please!" I said, folding my hands infront of him, thinking how pathetic I must be looking right now.
" I'm sorry to inform you Miss, but I can't help you with this, you need to leave if you don't have the consent." He said coldly, treating me like a roadside trash.

I clenched my teeth in frustration as I looked at the man with my brows narrowed. He coughed as he noticed by dreadful face.
"Can you atleast call him once and let him know I'm here?? " I asked, my voice laced with impatience and irritation.
He gave up at last as he dialled a few buttons on the telecom and waited for the call to be received from the other side, but soon I noticed him biting his lips in nervousness as he faced me with failing expression.
" What's up?"
" I'm sorry ma'am, but at the moment, the hotel's telecom network is not working... I'm sorry for the inconvenience." He declared with finality.

I tightened my grip over the straps of my backpack infuriated at the man , as the rebellious rage riled up inside my body, enough to trigger my angry burst out and soon even before I could stop myself from doing something out of my hand, I yelled at the man's face right there, lying almost half of my upper body on his desk, scaring the hell out of him.

" How dare you??! You're telling me, after arguing with me for your shitty nonsense that the hotel's telecom is not working!?? Who're you fooling with?! Huh?! Tell me!!? Are you crazy??! How insensitive you're!? Can't you see my state?! I'm here, begging you eagerly to let me talk with a person urgently, I'm stuck in a adverse situation, but here you're, in the middle of the night, not even caring about somebody's dilemma?!! Shame on people like you who can't even help someone in need, douchebag!!?"

I breathed heavily, as I looked at the man fiercely, with my hands almost a reach away from his collar, as he blinked his eyes back at me, totally bewildered by the whole turn of events.
He gulped as he shakily stood up from his chair, mumbling me to follow him as he made his way towards the elevator. I huffed to myself, astonished with my own boldness.

I silently stomped my way to the elevator pulling a long face, as the man ensured to keep his distance from me for his own safety just in case. I rolled my eyes at him, as we exchanged our glances after awhile.

Soon the elevator dinged, opening to a new floor, as I followed him, suddenly feeling gut sick from nervousness.
I had no idea how Chanyeol was going to react about the whole chaotic situation I was in. I just prayed, for everything to go well as planned.

Tapping my feet impatiently at the floor, I witnessed the man knocking at the door for the nth time. I just glared at the man, as he looked back at me with defeat in his eyes. I breathed out feeling exasperated, as I stomped to the door and with a single blow of my fist, I broke the door knob taking the man who accompanied me there by another blockbuster surprise, as he yelped in terror, meanwhile I barged my way inside without thinking, slamming the door harshly to the wall.

Holy Fuck.

My eyes bulged out of their sockets, as complete shock seized me in its wicked trap. My mouth hung open in mid air, aghast by my own ill-fate.
I immediately took support of the nearby wall, pointing my trembling finger accusingly at the two entangled bodies making love just infront of my holy eyes.

Cheater.

This son of a bi*ch really dared to cheat with me and my life.

This fucking asshole really cheated on me, aghh!!!

My eyes watered at the sight, as I glared with pure disgust back at the man, sadly whom I once loved wholeheartedly, as he breathlessly statued himself with not a single muscle moving upon seeing me standing infront of him, surprise written all over his face, not a single penny of guilt visible on his butcher face.

Well, he wasn't expecting an unwelcomed guest at this hour.

I turned my head away from his filthy face, if I would've wanted, I'd surely had kicked him butt hard out of the bed naked on the floor, but to be honest, my mind went shut after the scene I witnessed, rather I cursed at him loud enough to let him hear my uncivilized words before I exited from his life forever, as I dashed my away out of the room without looking back at my past, I knew I had to be strong at this point of my twisted and merciless life, when God was,with all his might, against my happiness.

I scurried out of the hotel direction-less, as I skimmed my feet on the deserted road to God knows where. My feet were just running away from all the harshness of the life, seeking for peace somehow in this selfish & cruel world.
For the first time, after running away from my own house, I felt no need of running away anymore. I had already lost everything.

My legs finally gave up on me, as I crashed my body on a bench infront of a dancing night club. I blinked a few times to keep the tears away from my already blurry vision, but they were stubborn enough to stream out recklessly, making me feel weak & lonely than ever. I let my head fall backward with a thud on the edge of the bench, as I stared at the same night sky that had encouraged me to risk my life choices and eventually put me in such a great holy fucking situation.

I laughed to myself sarcastically, as I reflected on the grave incidents I encountered in the past few hours. I wanted to just lay in the middle of the road and get run over by a car or a truck.
For the first time ever, I regretted for not believing my mother, who long ago had declared that this man, was going to be the biggest mistake of my life. And, indeed he performed well as expected by my mum. I'm the only fool here, isn't it?

I punched my fist on the wooden bench, that sent a stinging pain to my entire body but this pain was nothing infront of what I was feeling in my heart. How big of a foolish I was, to even think that I could spend my rest of the life with peace & love with this heartless and characterless person, he proved me wrong in every way and now I feel defeated with my own self, so much hopeless that now, neither I want to go back and nor I want take a step forward. I just want to freeze the time and sit idle with my sorrows.

I can't believe myself that I ran away from my own wedding just because of this man, that I left my family and house for the sake of living with this man, and most importantly, I put my entire life at stake just in order to shape a future with this motherfucker scoundrel!
This is ridiculous!

How can I be so stupid & insane??!

It became more hard for me to suppress my cries back in my throat, as slowly I started drowning myself in the pool of never ending regrets and sorrow. I was completely unaware of the fact, what turn my life was going to take soon.

But as I said earlier, I have no idea how many losses I was going to come across in my life, but today the biggest loss that I confronted was, not the loss of love, but the loss of trust.
