In the haze of my grogginess, my awareness gradually returned. I tried to open my eyes, only to find that something like a white veil was covering them.
At that moment, my hands and feet were bound to a soft bed.
A bad feeling surged within me.
I had been kidnapped.
Realizing this, I snapped into full consciousness, though my head still felt heavy.
Damn, I must have gotten drunk and blacked out.
I struggled to free myself from the ropes binding me, but the rope felt like cotton—not too rough, but not short either.
The other end of the rope was fastened to the edge of the bed, just enough for me to move in a small range, but not enough to remove the white veil over my eyes.
So, perhaps the person who bound me didn't intend to harm me, only to trap me here.
With that thought, I let out a relieved breath, but still couldn't let my guard down.
No matter his purpose, I had to get out of here.
Through the veil, I noticed that the surroundings were almost eerily dark.
I couldn't tell the time or know when he'd be back.
Or maybe he's right outside the door.
I didn't dare make a sound, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't escape the ropes.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps reached my ears, accompanied by the crunch of dry twigs, getting closer and closer. The yard outside was filled with branches.
This might be somewhere remote, on a mountain or out in the wilderness. I could almost hear my own heartbeat. The silence was suffocating.
