"Y/n."

You woke up hearing a familiar voice.

"Mhm.."

You opened your eyes and discovered that you were in a different place.

"Y/n, are you alright?" Edmond asked.

"Where am I?" You said with an amount of fear in your eyes.

"Calm down, you're in my house. The guy who strangled you got taken care of. So don't worry, he won't have the chance to do that again." He said in a cold, gloomy voice.

You felt that your neck was bandaged neatly. You touched it and looked at him. It was probably him who did this.

"What time is it?" You asked.

"It's already 8 pm. I think it's better for you to stay the night here. Going out alone at night is dangerous." He said calmly.

Hearing this made you nervous. You suddenly remembered your aunt's words and became paranoid.

"If ever you come home late again, I'll bring out my whip."

"8 pm? No no no, please take me home! Please... heuk." You suddenly started crying.

Your action made Edmond surprised.

He wondered why you suddenly acted like this.

"What are you so afraid of?" He asked directly.

You swallowed your cry and remembered few scenarios of your aunt in the past.

"Remember Y/n, once I know that you go off telling someone that we abused you, I'll make sure you'll never see the light again."

"No- nothing." Your voice shook.

It's been quite a while since you were beaten heavily. Since you don't want to be hurt again, you just hid your deepest secret.

"So you won't tell me?" He held your wrist and looked straight in your eyes.

"...." You avoided his eyes.

"Fine. You can just stay here until tomorrow. It's safer here."

"I heard that your aunt and uncle are your only relatives. I'll contact them and tell them that you're here for the meantime." He added.

"No!"

"???" Edmond was surprised.

"Don't contact them. Please. I'll take care of this myself." You forced a smile.

You gave up about thinking of going home.

You wondered why he was considerate of you. Why he's helping a total stranger.

You didn't understand him.

"....Alright. Let's have dinner first then." He offered.

"Sorry for disturbing you like this." You totally gave in.

The two of you ate together and silence was always present.

You looked around your surrounding. The place was big and luxurious.

You figured that he was a rich person.

"The room you stayed in was a guest room." He broke off the silence.

"..I see."

Once the two of you finished eating, he walked you back to your room.

"Don't worry about your clothes. We have a lot of spare clothes from my sister. She was your size so you can wear them." He said with a reassuring smile.

"Can I use the shower?" You asked

He was a bit surprised when you asked this.

"I'm sorry."

"No, you can do whatever you want. Please feel like home." He said.

"..Alright. Goodnight then."

"Goodnight Y/n."

You closed the door and went to shower.

After showering, you rummaged the closet for a moment and saw many clothes that was just about your size.

You wore one of them it fitted you perfectly.

You jumped into the bed and for the first time ever, you felt comfortable to sleep.

-Edmond Hamilton POV-

Earlier.....

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" He felt his blood boil when he saw your situation.

The man who strangled you threw you off the ground unconscious.

"What's your problem kid?" The man walked towards Edmond and was about to punch him.

Edmond dodged the man's punch and took out a knife from his bag.

He stabbed the man in his abdomen and fresh blood immediately came out from the wound.

"Ahck! What the fu-"

Before the man could continue what he's about to say, he fell unconscious.

Edmond then walked towards you and carried you to his car.

"Young master." His driver spoke.

"Take care of this." Edmond ordered.

"Yes, young master." His driver already knows his job.

The driver took the man's body and put it in the trunk.

He drove until they arrived at Edmond's house.

"Dispose it properly."

"Yes, young master."

Edmond carried you in the guest room and saw your neck swollen from earlier's event.

He bandaged it neatly and let you continue to rest.

Your sleeping image was wonderful to Edmond's eyes.

He thought that you looked beautiful and it made his heartbeat fast.

From this, he confirmed that he took a liking to you.

Even from the first glance, his attention totally shifted to you. Ever since that one time event, he always thought about you.

When you woke up, he felt happy.

But when you acted scared later on, he wanted to comfort you.

When he said that he had a sister, it was a lie.

Edmond Hamilton was an only child of a rich businessman without a mother.

Those clothes was meant to be worn by you after all.

Maybe he thought of a possiblity that you'll stay in his house in the future.

That's probably the reason of those clothes.

After he confirmed that you've already slept, he went to his room.

Inside his room, you can see a big portrait that had an image of a girl.

The sky was dark and it was still dawn.

The girl was sitting in a park bench while sleeping.

That girl was you.
