Chapter One: Perfect Life

Every morning, Sun follows her routine, wearing jeans, a white shirt, and white shoes. She puts on makeup, ties her hair into a ponytail, and wears red lipstick. In the kitchen:

Sun: Good morning, Mom. (kisses her mother)

Jane: Good morning, darling. (preparing food)

Sun: Sorry, Mom, I can't eat; I'm running late.

Jane: But you need to. (looking concerned)

Sun: Sorry, Mom. (runs off)

Jane: (laughs at her daughter)

Fred, Sun's brother, enters:

Fred: Good morning, Mom. (rubbing his eyes)

Jane: Good morning! You haven't been to work in a week!

Fred: I can't, Mom. The job is exhausting.

Jane: You need to work!

Fred eats without responding.

Sun bumps into someone on her way to class:

Sun: Omg, are you blind?

Sun: Sir, sir...? (no response)

The guy walks away, leaving Sun confused.

Sun's best friend, Ash, arrives:

Ash: Hey, my sunshine!

Sun: Hey.

Ash: How are you?

Sun: Weird guy.

Ash: What?

Sun: Nothing. Let's go in. (smiles)

After a long day at university, Sun returns home. In her room, she listens to music,

Sun's room, typically a haven of comfort, felt different that evening. The familiar tunes of her favorite music played softly, but an inexplicable sensation gripped her. As she reclined on her bed, the rhythmic beats failed to drown out the peculiar pull at her feet

suddenly she felt something strange pulling her feet.

Sun wakes up blindfolded in an unfamiliar place with random guys around. The room is creepy with writings on the walls and blood. Her blindfold is removed, revealing a guy with a deep voice.

The room, with its blood-stained walls and ominous whispers, became a haunting canvas for a nightmare from which there seemed to be no escape

Sun: Where am I? Who are you?

Guy: Stop playing around. Give us the password now!

Sun: I don't know what you're talking about. Is this a prank?

The guy slaps her, causing bleeding. Others point guns at her.

Sun: It's a nightmare. Wake up, Sun! (closing her eyes)

The room seemed to close in further as Sun confronted a chilling reality — a race against time to save her family, entangled in a web of secrets and danger.

Everyone was laughing at her situation

Guy: We're waiting for you. If you don't talk, your family will be gone in 48 hours.

Sun: I swear I don't know anything. What about Fred?

Guy: Ask your dear brother.

Sun's heart pounded in her chest. The gravity of the threat struck her like a physical blow. The well-being of her family now hinged on information she didn't possess. Fear and helplessness washed over her, intertwining with the desperate need to protect those she held dear.

her chest tightened with a mix of fear and confusion, her mind racing to comprehend the dire situation. The weight of responsibility pressed down on her as she grappled with the unsettling ultimatum, her thoughts consumed by the safety of her family and the mysterious involvement of her brother, Fred
