"Who the fu-" Iseul shouted, sitting up immediately after.

"Shushhh" putting the bucket of water aside, he covered her mouth with his palm to prevent her from shouting, "it's me" he mumbled.

Iseul was flabbergasted, she didn't realize what was happening around her for good ten seconds. When she finally came back to her senses, she grabbed her glasses from the nightstand putting them on.
She tried saying something but because his palm was covering her mouth, everything came out muffled.

Realizing that she wanted to speak, he immediately snatched his hand away, "how was sleep, Miss Kim?" he asked as if he didn't just pour a whole bucket of water on her.

"Come to the point." Iseul sat up, accepting her fate as if she was used to waking up like that every other day.

"Boys are outside and I'm leaving in like 10 minutes" he declared, casually.

"No, no, noooo!" panicked, iseul couldn't help but ignore her miserable state as she stood up from the bed impulsively.

A shiver ran down her spine as a sudden gust of cold air swept over her, chilling her already soaked body, "not again..."

"I'll be back before anyone gets to know, trust me," he sat down on her bed, picking up an apple from the fruit basket that was lying on the bedside table, "it's just a casual night out, don't worry" bitting into the apple, he muttered.

Iseul was panicking, she didn't care about anything at the moment. The most important thing for her was to stop him from leaving no matter what.

"Look, leeh- I mean Sir... it's.. you can't leave!"

"Oh, and who's going to stop me?... You?" He stood up, taking a step closer to her with one hand casually in his pocket, while the other tightened around the half-bitten apple.

"Mr. Lee won't be pleased if you leave without him knowing," she managed to say, struggling to keep her voice steady as the biting wind lashed at her from every direction.

"Well, You can handle him pretty well and so I'll take my leave now" saying that, he turned around making his way towards the door, "oh and don't forget to close the window and change into something... warm, we can't afford you getting sick, Miss Kim" giving her one last teasing smile, he disappeared.

Iseul stood there dumbfounded, glancing at the clock she realized it just struck 3am.
"Here we go again!" She sighed knowing she can't do anything.

Panicked, iseul hurried downstairs. Her mind racing with thousand thoughts at a time. She took urgent steps towards the exit, tripping several times in the process.
Just when she was about to twist the doorknob of the lavishly designed main gate, a voice made her stop on her tracks.

"Look what we have here," eunji began in a voice that was only audible to iseul, making her take a deep breath before she turned around to face the most annoying being she had ever encountered.

"Morning, Mrs Lee" iseul greeted with a polite bow.

Eunji on the other hand was unbothered, she glanced in the direction of the maid who stood beside her offering her, her morning coffee.
Accepting it from the maid, she dismissed her- now focusing entirely on iseul, "planning to evade?" her voice sounded authoritve.

"I was just-" iseul was cut off.

"I don't have time for all this, iseul. Honestly I don't even care you can leave for all I care just please don't make him lose his mind again." Settling herself on the couch, eunji picked up the flower vase from the nearby table in her hands, nonchalantly smelling the flowers.

Iseul looked down, her gaze unconsciously went to her wrist watch that displayed 6 in the morning, "I- I'm actually in a hurry Mrs Lee....so if you don't mind...can I?" anxious, iseul glanced at the exit pleading eunji with her eyes to let her go.

Eunji shrugged, her focus was still on the flower vase in her hands.

Iseul, grabbing the chance hurriedly turned around but just as she was about to exit the door, that annoying voice of eunji echoed in the hallway once again, "heeseung's supposed to wake up early today, meetings and all you know"

Iseul could feel her smirking even tho she had her back turned to her. Sighing to herself, she left knowing damn well she won't be able to save neither him nor herself today...
