entertain me

a.

my mom, brother, and i watched in horror as our father got executed, falsely accused. i was furious, there wasn't any proof that my father committed treason. just because the government official approved of his execution, he was killed.

my mom screamed and cried, the citizens of the village gasped in shock and horror as they watched. my father was one of the top councilmen who always helped those in need and was always kind, he was acknowledged by the town and by the king.

heck he was literally best friends with the king, and the king knew everyone of us personally.

"dad!" my brother and i both yelled going towards our now weak dad. the guards prevented us from even reaching him, but we pushed and pushed until all our strength was no more use. i held tight onto my father's hand, afraid anyone was going to separate us. my tears were falling all over and i couldn't control them at all. 

"dad , please don't die!" i begged furiously, i knew that wasn't going to happen though. "live to love your life, my precious daughter. take good care of you mother and brother while i'm gone." he managed to say, gripping onto my hand even tighter. 

suddenly his chest slowly stoped rising, and my surrounding got quite and my vision got blurry. i tried to focus, but it was difficult to do so. blackness slowly fills in my vision and i fell to the ground.

before completely fainting, the last thing i heard was " mom, look at eun min!"

as i slowly opened my eyelids and got used to the surroundings, i see that i was being carried in a cart cage made from straw and wood. my hands were wrapped by rope and it started to sore my wrists. i look around for my mother and brother, taehyung, but they were no where to be found. coming to a rough stop, i fall to my side, losing balance. i managed to get up with tied hands and even though it was night, i read the white writing "pleased house" on the building.

my eyes widened from shock. " why am i at the pleaser house?"

"miss, blame your father. you're now from the lower class and since you are, you're getting sent to the house."

"where's my mother and brother?" i demanded for answers.

"i do not know, the ladies serving you in the house will tell you that."

as he said that, the doors to the building opened and revealed women dressed as pleasers, and i'm assuming the lead lady was the one in the center. "you're dismissed." the one in the center said to the man, he dragged me out of the cart before leaving.

he left me on the ground and i heard the clatter of horse hooves trailing off. two women approached me and got by my sides dragging me to the lead lady.

"kim eun min, i'm the lead lady of this house. and once you step into this house, you're a pleaser." the older women said grinning.

"i don't want to. a pleaser gets no respect and is considered of lower class. i don't want to be touched by filthy hands, and for my honor to get dragged down." i spit, not daring to step a foot into the building. i had pride and being a pleaser would make it all disappear, pleasers were just a use of entertainment and for their bodies.

"there's no use to fight against it, you rude girl. your honor is already gone. that's why you came here, because you don't have any left. now drag her in." she said sternly looking me in the eye.

the two women beside me try pushing me into the house court, but i wasn't going to lose this battle. so, i fought back and tried losing their grip. "she's being too difficult to bring in," one of the women complained.

the lead lady turned around and took a good slap across my face, i stop fidgeting out of their grip as they let me go. i held my cheek, it was stinging. i glared at the lady, "stop giving me a dirty look like you have a higher class than me. you're just as low as me, so stop acting like you're still in the higher class." she scolded me. instead of the women, men took my arms and dragged me with no effort into the house trailing behind the pleasers.

as much as i fought and resisted, there was no use. i was brought into an empty room and left alone after. "stay here, while we prepare for you."

after they left and closed the doors, i scurried to the door. them being dumb, the door was left unlocked and opened and i checked to see no one in the hallway.

i ran, i don't know where to, but out of this filthy place. as i passed through rooms, i heard giasengs laughing along with the men, it gave me chills and made me pick up my speed. before i could even turn the corner, someone was running from that way and i almost ran into him. he saw me and pulled me into the closest room with him and covered my mouth with his hand. as we waited there quietly, yells from outside were heard, "where is he?"

"if we don't find him, we're dead."

"hurry up, we don't have enough time."

the yelling faded and he still had his hand on my mouth. i licked it and he immediately reacted, "what was that for!" he whisper shouted. "you had your hand on me!" i replied back also in the same tone and volume. "because i was afraid, you were going to talk." he sayid while wiping the spit off on his shirt.

"why are men chasing you, are you a culprit?!" i asked backing away from him. he laughed, "mmm..no, i'm far away from that." he said while running his hand through his hair.

he had a tall, lean, fit figure. i probably looked like a potato next to him, even though we were different genders. i was to his eyes and boy, was he definitely beautiful, i've never see anyone so attractive within my 19 years.

the hanbok he wore was the kind where only royals wore. was he from the royal family? i didn't question it, as i felt him staring at me, afraid what was going to happen after. was he some type of pervert? "w-what are you doing?" i asked nervously, palms sweating and heart beating quickly.

"staring at you, duh, what else? why, are you uncomfortable?" he asked, smirking. i swear, i was going to melt, right here, right now. "n-no."

"you're too pretty to be a gisaeng, why are you here?" he asked approaching me, on the other side of the room.

i hesitated to answer and before i could answer, we both hear "search all the rooms and search the ground for the missing new gisaeng, kim eun min. if we don't find her, then the government official will not let us live!"
