*Here you go now*!

Kim Taehyung sat in his small, dimly lit apartment, staring blankly at the screen of his phone. The screen glowed with a harsh reminder: Account Balance: $27.39. He sighed, running a hand through his dark hair, the silence of his surroundings weighing heavily on him. Bills were stacked on his rickety coffee table, unopened and demanding his attention, while an eviction notice peeked out from the corner. The refrigerator hummed softly in the background, but Taehyung knew it was nearly empty. There was nothing left—not in his fridge, not in his bank account, and certainly not in his heart.

He leaned back, closing his eyes, trying to block out the hopelessness clawing at him. But images from the past slipped through, unbidden. His parents' faces flashed before him, stern and unforgiving, as he stood his ground and refused the marriage they’d arranged.

Suddenly knock come on the door to see it was a devil, giving her a light smile.

''Have a seat, you are behaving like a guest.'' She sat on the sofa facing me.

''When you are going to pay me?''

''Mrs. Min, you already know about my tight situation. I lost my job, I don't have a penny in my back account, ''I say with a sad on my face. Never in my life, I imagined i would be seeing days like this. I worked as a great cook in a hotel for a very good payment but the asshole who was my manger threatened to fire me for some misunderstandings.

''I already waited for four months, I won't wait for another more months when it comes to money. I don't care if you have a job or not. I will give you only one month time, and the next month -end date is your deadline.

"If you don't pay money. I will be taking your apartment instead of the money you borrowed".

I didn't even care when she left from my apartment, I groaned as i looked at those bills. I need to pay, I don't have any money left to pay all my bills which makes me very frustrated and the only thing which is left is crying all alone. Why didn't i saved money all those months?

Because i were so interested to buy all those fancy clothes and shoes.

My phone started ringing somewhere around, I searched for it before it ends, I picked it up.

"Hello, kim Taehyung speaking."

"Hello Mr.kim, I'm John. The reason i contracted you Mr.kim is because we are having a job which you might be interested."The men on the other side spoke, I pulled the phone away from my ear to see the caller id. But it wasn't a spam call.

"Okay? What job is it? I asked him. I don't remember applying for new job positions.

Mr. kim, if you are free, can we meet face to face in person? I will explain this in detail in person.

"Sure, send me the location. As soon as i ended the call. I soon received a message from that mysterious men."

If i wasn't in a state position. I wouldn't ended the call and never would went there. But I'm in a desperate situation of money.

I washed my face and changed into my white long sleeve shirt and blue jeans. I also brushed my hair to look good.

The place isn't that far from where i live, so i have enough petrol to reached there.

Reaching to the place. I soon messaged the men as i took a seat and gazed around as that's only thing left for me to do. Soon i watched a slender men dressed in classy clothes walking towards where i sat. I'm impressed by the way he dressed, I stood up as he stretched out his hand which I shook.

"John, I'm glad that you came." He spoke glancing over my clothes. He nodded his head in approval I guess.

"You've to come if you are in need of a job". He laughed softly as i said that.

"I know everything about you Mr. Kim Taehyung, the reason why i choose you for this job is because of your previous work records.

"First of all what job is this"?

"Baby caretaker." I looked at him as if he lost his mind or what.

"Sorry to say this I think you've mistaken me for someone else," saying this i stood up and started to leave but he spoke.

"You were a great cook, your manage fired you for misunderstanding, Twenty-three years old, don't have been in a single relationship. Disowned by the family for not getting married by their choice. There are many bills to pay and also have negative bank balance.

"My mouth dropped and anger flared in me, how dare he is to investigate into my personal matters.

"Look mister John, I may not have a job right now and there may be bills to pay. i will soon get the job i need. It is illegal to research about someone's personal, I am not here to do babysitting. " I replied

"One million dollars if you say yes." My mouth again drops down looking at the men.

"What? are you kidding me? One million dollars for just babysitting? Did you lost your mind or you are trying to make me fool? Is this a prank

"I'm perfectly normal Mr. kim, I'm not trying to make you a fool. the babysitting as you said it includes taking care of the baby and few other things."

"Like"?

If you are ready for the job then i will tell you about the other things as well, I thought about it, I never seen a million dollars in my whole life. its really a huge amount.

"Okay, I agreed, he pulled out a file from his bag and placed it in front of me.

"This is the contract, Which includes that you will take care of the baby from tomorrow onwards. you have to be with the baby for 1 year."

you need to move to the place where the baby is. you should cut all the tires and prevail there without knowing where you are. and your phone is not allowed, you will be give a new one.

"But"? can't i stay in my own place? I can drive there daily.

"No, Mr. Kim"

"Okay, where i need to sign. I signed the papers before starting up."

Our driver will be there at your place tomorrow morning, So pack everything you need. I said a goodbye before driving my home as i need to pack my bags.

I don't have any close person with whom i need to cut my ties. but i had few friends at my work place but not anymore. And also i never had any sexual intercourse with anyone. It will fine for me just for 1 year.
