Waking up to the soft sun rays found scattering across my room. They always try to enter my room, piercing through the curtains. I finally take off my the creamy soft sheets off my body. I slowly rise, my eyes still fluttering and trying to wake up. My fingers reach for the hem of the curtains, lightly tugging them open. I finally grant permission for the sun to enter. The sun seemed warm but gentle. It feels happy. As my eyes adjust to the sharp light to my eyes, i take in a deep breath and breathe it all out feeling refreshed and ready for a new day.

Hey! My name is Y/n S/n. I am a psychologist. I work in Seoul and i live in Sillim-Dong, Gwanak-gu. Life has been really busy and a bit tough. But i still manage it and bear with it. I study in Seoul National University as a psychology student but sometimes I work in an Asylum. I have always found them interesting and I loved seeing and learning about the people there. I am including everyone including the patients. Some really scare me, others teach me new things. I normally have college from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm and go for training from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm at the Asylum. I am extremely excited for my day at work.

I am doing a bit of training in the hospital and go to the Asylum for more exposure.

While I was stuck in thought while gazing at a distance, i hear my phone ring, interrupting my train of thoughts. "Hey this is Y/n! I am probably somewhere else please leave a message after the beep.",says my voice mail.

"Hey Y/n!"

I had immediately recognized that voice. I let out a loud groan.

"I wanted to meet you today about the..ya know. Please let me know when you are free! Call me asap. Bye honey bunny."

I cringe and get goosebumps when I hear his ending words.

"Honey Bunny? ew", My thoughts say.

I ignore his voice and get along with my day. That is Brian, my..fiance. He is a business man and is always traveling. Our wedding is in a month. His parents and my parents are work buddies and felt the both of us "destined" to be together. I just wanted to remain single but you have to do what you have to do.

I groom my self and I start picking out my outfit for the day. As my eyes scroll through the shelves and stands, my attention gets distracted my ring .

"It's probably Amanda."

Amanda is my maid. She comes and cleans every morning by 7.15 am. She is around 4"11, has short jet black hair and a mole near her right eye. She is plump like a pumpkin and has a uni-brow. She is Latin American. She is a bit feisty but super sweet.

"Aye!", she yells from outside the door.

"Si Abuela!"

I run to open the door.

"It took you long enough.." She says and she lets herself in my house going straight to the kitchen.

Oh yeah and she is 42 years of age. That is why I call her grandmother.

"Sorry I was searching for what I should wear. I want to wear something nice and comfy. I am going to be out all day and I also will be seeing a lot of people."

She just looks and at me and nods

"Do you want me to make pancakes?"

"yes please."

She in an immigrant from the United States. She came here three years back. The only languages she knew were Latin Spanish and a bit of English. She was so happy when she found out I knew English and a bit of Spanish.

I went to my closet and found a knee length ed black skirt with a small slit on my right thigh tucked in with a swan printed button full sleeved shirt. Under my skirt I wore black stockings. I was going to wear a blazer but i have to wear my coat anyways.

It was 8:15 am. I come to the dinning room and placed on the table was a fresh stack of pancakes. Beside it was maple syrup and some berries. I see a tall jug of freshly squeezed orange juice and a fruit salad.

"What did I do to deserve such a sweet maid?"

I eat up everything and we both exit the house. I always pack my things and supplies the previous night.

I walk to my hospital. It is in my neighborhood so It is a walk-able distance for me.

"Senorita..", my maid whispers to me as we slowly start enter the elevator.

"Yes Abuela."

"What time does your last shift end?"

"Today? Umm.. Around 9? Yep 9"

"Be careful. I have heard a rumor going on about some bad men taking nice pretty girls like you in the night."

I look at her in shock and first and then my eyes start to soften.

"Abuela.. Don't believe in these fake politics.", I scoff

"I know..I know.. It is just you are very beautiful senorita. I would hate for anything to happen to you.."

I just nodded.

"don't worry I am safe."

As we wave our goodbye's and split our ways, going in opposite directions, I get a call.

"Ugh..."

Brian was calling.

"Yes Brian?"

"Heyy Honey Bunny. Where are you?

I pull myself to respond in a nice way.

"On my way to College."

"Oh that's great when will you be free today?"

I really didn't want to see him.

"I can't. Um I'm busy.. will come late..", I say in broken words hoping he will understand.

"Oh! Alright. Please be careful. There has been a kidnapping going around. It is only happening to woman above the ages of 18 and below 30. Specifically beautiful woman like you."

At that I just roll my eyes but i was also surprised this is actually true.

"It has definitely not reached gwanak gu.. Relax.."

"Baby the last kidnapping was in Doksan-dang and these happened anytime in the day.."

This is just a couple of miles away from where I stayed.

I will be okay... I hope .....
