I wake up to the sound of shoutings.
The door is still locked. I can't go outside.
I press my ear on the door and try to listen. I can't tell who is there with my mother, but my stepfather is trying to calm her down.
"Please, be reasonable, Ms Solomon!"
That's Baek Joon Woo's voice. Is he really here? I find my phone and check the time. It's already eleven in the morning. It seems that he called me before coming here.
"Get out of my house!" My mother roars. "Nell won't return to that school!"
Why is she treating him like this? He has done nothing wrong. I slam my hands on the door. "Dad, please let me out!"
My yells don't affect them. Suddenly, there's only silence. I guess Baek Joon Woo has left. I run to my window and look down. When I don't see the gate, I realise that my window gives me a view of the backyard.
"Why I am an idiot?" I mumble while I call Baek Joon Woo on the phone. It rings twice before he picks up.
