yunjin
15/8/18she sits on the metal chair as she waits for her parents to finish talking to the head nun and the two officers. she can hear her mother's sobbing from outside, and she rolls her eyes as the sound bounces throughout the room.
the cold air hits her bare thighs, but she doesn't react. reaching to pull her shorts down, the sound of metal-on-metal rattles, and she remembers that she is wearing handcuffs that are chained around the armrest of the chair she's sitting on.
she doesn't have much time to think after that, as the sound of the old wooden door creaking catches her attention. she turns around, now looking into her mother's sad eyes and her father's disappointed ones. she sighed.
she didn't want them to feel like this. she never did. but she had to do what she did. for her and everyone else's safety.
"yunjin, sweetie, this will be your home from now on. we know that these people will be nice to you and will treat you like family, so return the favor." her mother says, her eyes looking straight into yunjin's.
the girl just nods. that's the only sort of communication they could get out of the girl ever since it happened. she would always be staring off into space, and would never leave her room unless it was to use the restroom, which wasn't much considering she stopped eating and drinking.
as they left, she could only look at their backs as they get smaller and smaller. she didn't want to be here, nobody did.
her thinking was cut short when one of the police officers kneeled down in front of her and unlocked the handcuffs, the hospital guards quickly coming in from behind him to take her to her new 'home'.
"welcome, yunjin, to Poolside Manor," said the head nun, a sinister smile playing on her lips "i hope you enjoy this as much as we do."
