Turns out Jongho and I were the same age and he had indeed thought I was way younger than him.

But that doesnt stop him from treating me like a baby, yes, literally a baby.

I was moved out from the rest of the girls and was given a separate room. Jongho would wake me up, feed me, bring me to bath and even carry me around the places.

But also he is very scary when the girls didnt obey him or do something wrong.

One time, one of the girls was spilling water on the flour and I didnt see it so I slipped and Jongho ran over at my voice. The girl was punished in their torture chamber from what I heard and I have never felt so apologic in my entire life.

I tried to find the girl the next day but she wasnt there and when I sneak into Mary's work, she told me that the girl was sent home.

I wanted to believe her but my gut says it was not true and that they are lying.

And yeah, because I slipped that day was the reason Jongho carried me everywhere I want to go because I couldnt walk for a week. But I didnt blame anybody for that. I knew it was my fault that I slipped and it was not fair for the girl to be punished because of my clumsiness.

As I was in my deep thought, Jongho enter showing me a gummy smile and I force a smile a little back at him.

"Would you like to bake with me?", he ask ever so sweetly.

"Sure"

He smile widely and came running before picking me up as if I'm as light as a feather. I hug his neck afraid that he would drop me but by now, my sneakiness already found out that Jongho was the youngest of them yet the strongest.

And disobeying him would be my worst nightmare.

He sat me down on the kitchen counter and collect everything necessary for baking the cookies.

"Jongho, can I get down from the counter and help you?", I tilted my head and he kept quiet for a while before coming closer and hugging me.

"Only if you promise to not hurt yourself", he push the strand of my hair in my ears and lean closer.

"Okay, I promise"

He smile and kiss my cheeks before allowing me to move freely in the kitchen.

I sigh in relieve and happy at the same time to have the freedom that I yearn eversince I was kidnapped here. Eventhough this freedom is small and nothing, I was more than grateful.

we mix the flour, the butter, the egg, the sugar and everything else needed until we put it in the oven.

"Now lets clean ourselves baby"

Jongho came closer and I step back.

"Ummm...what do you mean?", I ask in a shaky voice. He stop as well before smirking full face and come more closer.

"What were you thinking huh?"

I realize that he was teasing me and I push him back before running away to the batroom without bringing anything in.

I slap my forehead at my dumbness and stare myself at the mirror on the bathroom.

'What am I doing here?'

I heard a knock on the door a few seconds later followed by Jongho's voice echoing in my ears.

"I put your spare clothes for you to change. Take a quick bath and come out before the others are back"

I hum for him to hear and took the spare clothes after he left and realize how much he slowly gained his trust on me.

And that was the plan if I want to escape from this place.
