Kim Nam-Joo: "How does the canvas feel today? Make your mark bold!"
What's the meaning of this? I'm Kim Nam-Joo, an artist from South Korea, and you're telling me I've been sold to some powerful man?
"Well, I didn't say it, did I?"
Don't try to brush it off, then. Explain it. Why am I here?
"Alright, alright. You were bought at an auction. By a very powerful man."
That's absurd! How could someone just buy me like I'm a vase?
"Because, Ms. Nam-Joo, you're a masterpiece."
So I'm a piece of art now? What am I, a painting?
"You can be whatever you want, Ms. Nam-Joo. But first, we need to get you cleaned up."
Fine, but after that, I'm leaving. I won't let myself be owned by anyone.
Take me to my new owner, then. I need to know what I'm dealing with.
"As you wish, Ms. Nam-Joo."
Don't think you can control me. I'm still in charge of my own actions.
"Of course, Ms. Nam-Joo."
Open the door. I want to see him.
"Very well, Ms. Nam-Joo." Opens the door
steps forward, eyes narrowing So this is the man who bought me. What do you want from me?
"Ms. Nam-Joo, he's not exactly... 'buying' you. More like, he's keeping you."
Keeping me? For what purpose? Does he expect me to be his servant or something?
"No, Ms. Nam-Joo. He wants you to be his companion."
His companion? Like a girlfriend? Is that what this is all about?
"Not exactly, Ms. Nam-Joo. More like... a possession."
A possession? No one owns me. I'm my own person.
"For now, Ms. Nam-Joo. But we'll see about that."
I will never submit to him. Never. I'll find a way out of here, no matter what.
"Is that so, Ms. Nam-Joo?"
Yes, it is. I am determined to escape from this place.
"Very well, Ms. Nam-Joo. Just remember, escape is not easy."
I'll find a way. I always do. starts to plot her escape
"We'll see, Ms. Nam-Joo." smirks
I won't let him control me. I have to get out of here. starts searching for any possible escape routes
"Very ambitious, Ms. Nam-Joo." smirks "But be careful. If you're caught, there will be consequences."
I don't care about the consequences. All that matters is getting out of here. finds a small window behind the door I found a way out!
"Ah, Ms. Nam-Joo. Always so determined." smirks "Very well, go ahead. But remember, if you fall into his hands again, there will be no second chances."
I understand. But I won't need those second chances because I won't fall into his hands again. opens the window and slips outside
