Yumi stretched her arms as soon as the teacher left. She took a deep breath as she picks up her pen from her desk.
'Tsss... What's all for this study?'
'My parents are already rich, I can still get a job even if I don't graduate!' She mumbled inside.
"Hey Yumi, are you coming for tonight's party?" One of her friends Adelin Kreimer asked. She's one of her close friends.
Yumi took a deep breath, "I want to, but..." Yumi's eyes fell to the two men in black outside the classroom.
Adelin's gaze followed Yumi's gaze.
"Oh!" She blurted out.
"So, you are grounded?" She asked.
"Sad to say, Yes," Yumi replied.
"But we can help you escape," Adelin said with a naughty smile on her face.
"Really?!" Yumi's eyes lit up!
"Just leave it to me!" Adeline replied.
---------
In the afternoon, Yumi went home with hope. She got grounded for causing trouble the last time she went out with her friends. They got into a fight with other girls in a bar. Of course! They have their way to enter in a bar even though they were underage!
'They think, they can imprison me, they were wrong! I have my way to escape and my friends were there to help me!'
'What's the use of staying at home, without them!'
'They were too busy with their business, and they already forget me! Luckily, I have friends who make me happy!'
The car stopped in front of the high gate.
Yumi looked outside the window, 'Here she is again, in this big house, which seems like a prison to her!'
Yumi's brows knitted when she saw a boy standing beside the car while holding a bike. He seems like he is waiting for the gate to open.
The boy looks like in the same age as her, he is tall and his skin is tan, indicating that he is exposed to the sun. But his color doesn't affect his physical appearance, it even made him looked more manly.
"Hey, bodyguard, who is that boy?" Yumi asked the bodyguard without looking at him.
The bodyguards followed Yumi's gaze, "Ah, He is the son of Adelfa," he replied.
Yumi knitted her brows" Adelfa?" She repeated, "Who is Adelfa?" She asked.
The bodyguard looked at Yumi, "Adelfa is the servant who is in-charged of doing the laundries." He replied.
"Oh, whoever!" Yumi said as she pulls back her gaze.
Just then the gate opened and the car drives to the inside.
-------
Jin waited for the gate to open. He has been living in the Alcantara residence for a month now. Fortunately, her mother's employers were good people, well, except for their spoiled brat daughter. They allow him to live in the mansion so that their expenses will get lesser.
He is a senior high student and currently studying in a public school because his mother couldn't afford to pay for private schools.
Jin did not complain, he understands that they have to prioritize their needs. Studying in a public school isn't bad though, he still learns a lot.
Jin noticed the car stopped beside him, but he did not spare a glance at it. He just continues to wait for the gate to open.
After a while, the gate opened.
Jin lets the car to enter first before he followed and headed to the maid's quarter to change his clothes. He still needs to work even though the Alcantaras did not oblige him to do work, he still does some of the works as a payment for their good deeds like taking him and his mother into their home.
"Mom," Jin called the woman in her forties, who is busy folding the clothes.
Adelfa lifted her gaze when she heard her son's voice and she couldn't hide her smile when she saw him. "Son!" She blurted out.
Jin walks closer to his mother, he took her wrinkled hand and kissed it, " Your back must be aching, why won't you let me finish it?" He said.
Adelfa smiled again, "I'm alright, I'm almost done anyway," She replied.
"Why won't you just study your lessons," She suggested.
"Ah, maybe later, I will just water the flowers in the garden, " Jin replied.
"Alright then," Adelfa did not object. She is so blessed to have a considerate son like Jin, she never regretted to have him in her life.
Jin entered his room and changed his clothes before he went to the garden to water the plants.
She has to water it two times a day to make sure that the soil won't turn dry.
----------
Yumi lazily slumped her body in her bed. "They were not home again," She mumbled.
She felt disappointed she couldn't see her mother and father everyday. They were still sleeping when she left for school and they were not home whenever she comes home.
Yes, they gave everything she wants, but not their attention.
Some girls envied her life, but for her, there's nothing to be envied for.
Because her life is lonely without her parent's presence!
At night, Jin opened his room's window to let the cold night breeze in. He took his favorite book before he sat on the chair in front of the window. It just feels so good whenever the cold breeze blow into his face while he is reading his favorite book.
Just as soon as he started reading, he suddenly froze when he notices a girl running to the garden. His room is located near the garden, so, he can clearly see the girl.
Jin knitted his brows when the girl stopped in front of him.
The girl is wearing thick makeup and red lipstick which made her looked mature than her real age. Not just that!
She is also wearing a spaghetti-strapped crop top which revealed her belly and a miniskirt paired with high heeled ankle boots.
'Isn't this the Young Miss?' Jin asked himself.
The Young Miss might have noticed him because she suddenly turns her head to him.
Jin pretended not to see anything. He just looked down on the book in his hand and continued to read.
Yumi just ignored the servant's son. The most important to her is to find a place to hide from her bodyguards who were chasing her.
Yumi looked around, she then runs to the bushes not far from her, and hide behind it. The place is a bit dark, she is certain that her bodyguards can't find her!
Jin lifted his gaze again, he saw Yumi runs towards the bushes in the garden.
Just then the panting bodyguards arrived. They stopped and looked around, but they see nothing!
"Ah, where is she?" The bodyguards asked each other.
Jin just continued to read the book, but one of the bodyguards approached him and to ask.
"Jin, have you seen the Young Miss here?" The bodyguard named Japhet asked.
Jin looked at the bodyguard before he shifted his gaze into the bush where the Young Miss is hiding.
Yumi peeked out, and she gestured the servant's son to keep quiet.
