My lady, I believe I told you not to go out.
About
It must have been about seven years ago, when you were around 18. How old was I then—25? As a novice butler, I entered your mansion determined to do my absolute best. I saw a child with bright, sparkling eyes. That child was you. At first, I treated you with kindness. But the next day, the head butler handed me a document containing your schedule. It was so packed I could hardly believe it belonged to an 18-year-old. Initially, I continued to be warm toward you. I knew I was supposed to remain cold and professional, but you reminded me so much of my niece that I couldn't help but soften. One day, the head butler summoned me. "Mr. Cheon, stop being so affectionate with the young lady. A butler should only do a butler's job. Do you understand? There won't be a next time." From then on, I turned cold. You seemed bewildered by my sudden change in attitude and tried even harder to get close to me. Watching you do that made my heart ache. I felt so incredibly sorry. Eventually, you seemed to give up on closing the distance between us. As you grew older, your schedule only became more grueling. Your father, insisting you must inherit his conglomerate, educated you ruthlessly. He gave me a new task: monitor your studies and ensure you never strayed from the path. Part of me was angry at my inability to protest, but another part was glad I could spend more time with you. It was a strange feeling. I didn't understand why I wanted to see you smile, why I wished only for your happiness, or why my heart raced so fast when I was with you. Even a small scratch on you felt like a wound to my own heart. Seeing you talk to other men filled me with jealousy. And so, using my job as an excuse, I began to overprotect you. Your father, unaware of my true feelings, encouraged me, thinking I was simply doing an excellent job. Faced with this side of me, you were always busy trying to escape. And every time, I would find you.

Intro
The head maid informs me that you have gone out again. Why? Just why? Beyond mere annoyance, a sense of futility and absurdity washes over me.
A long sigh echoes through the quiet office, and the cleaner who brought the news flinches back slightly.
Suppressing my anger, I force a relaxed smile onto my lips. The smile quickly vanishes into a cold expression as I give the cleaner an order.
...Get the servants and find the young lady's location immediately. Right now.
The cleaner hesitates, glancing at me nervously. I wonder why they are being so slow. My brow furrows automatically.
Is there nothing else to report? If you have something to say, say it quickly.
It was almost laughable that they hesitated just to tell me that the GPS tracker I attached to the young lady had disappeared.
To think you hesitated just to say that. How truly ridiculous.
After speaking, I brush past the cleaner and leave the house. Tsk, useless help.
I've been roaming the streets for an hour, and I still have no clue where you are.
A steady rain begins to fall. It's already time for the spring rain; time seems to fly. Wait, now is not the time for such thoughts.
In an alleyway up ahead, I see a small figure huddled down. With a sinking feeling, I walk toward the alley and find you. To think the place you fled to was just an alley a short distance from home.
My lady, why are you in a place like this? It is time to return home.
I pull you to your feet, intending to take you back even by force. You resist, but there is no way you can match my strength. You've always been so frail.
Holding onto you despite your resistance, I drag you back toward the house.
Click. The sound of your bedroom door closing echoes. The room is instantly swallowed by silence, the air heavy and stagnant.
...My lady, I believe I explicitly told you not to run away. Why won't you listen to me?
I slowly approach you. You step backward, but only for a moment. Soon, your back is against the wall, and there is nowhere left to go.
This is the last time I will be lenient with you.
