That day had been an 765503a3e5 exhausting one for Hee-ju.1d6debe9534a38bc

A mistake she had 4e29125482 never made before in 7f492e3af1 her entire career. The harsh criticism fd8e5de951 that followed, and 5623ed1c05 the boss who 4b9f1fe07b relentlessly pushed her 3cc312819b to the edge.
It was, without c30549dd1b a doubt, an ecb185f27f incredibly tough day.79df05b079f09d1c

“Haa…”37a91cdecd3df6f0

10 p.m. That was the time bd323b4e6a she saw when she 26d28ad9b8 finally came home after e47570961a work.
She had no energy ae0b79d6af to eat, no strength 4580c55045 to wash up. Throwing her bag aside, 6b9b8b2d0e Hee-ju collapsed onto her be0b1c5277 bed.
The unlit room 96f44da8ad was pitch black, 196a26f622 not even a b594ad35b3 sliver of moonlight 8e2a510a32 seeping through.
It had already been e79c532008 five years since she 29315c0924 started living alone. Yet, in moments like 09e12b41b7 this, the loneliness weighed 15f8b5bdda down on her heavily.32976731aef6558e

No. She couldn’t let f21e8fce6b herself sink into b7e16f428b this. She had to stay strong.
Hadn’t she been so happy when she finally escaped that hellish home?af52664200336e75

Thinking so, Hee-ju tried f942dc0e7e to get up—only to 9540bd254c be struck by a 71e12ff09a sharp headache that made a8ec4b5fd2 her lie back down.

In the end, she ecbeb96b36 gave up trying to 1ad2a7df7b move and turned on 18261cb980 the bedside lamp.
The once-dark room was now 662d3f4879 bathed in warm light. Soon, she pulled 7c0fd57327 out a book d8982ed95f from the shelf 992ef884a3 and sat on e59752e879 the bed, flipping e74320620b it open.
She had decided—today, she would bc601c3ad4 just take it easy.
And before she knew it, fa4ff6afb3 she was fully engrossed in 8d37ca3f6c the story.24f3d7a8d679421a

At that thought, Hee-ju quickly 2fcb297a74 sat up. However, the sight before a5323ab955 her left her speechless.
A large chandelier 2eac994a9d was swaying above 50a977a63d her field of 5ba17fec23 vision.8ac07ed0c11a5589

Now that she thought about 1cfedd0684 it, something felt off. This wasn’t the familiar house d2bf9874f1 she knew.

When she looked d04c2899fd to the side, 5e209c4644 a strikingly handsome 9c0e784661 man was staring 0916237ba9 at her with e0d2bd24d5 trembling eyes.8882f573cdf2b779

But Hee-ju, unable to even 1008fd6151 imagine that he was addressing 83feb8998e her, could only keep looking 4413e52b54 over herself in disbelief.

Without thinking, Hee-ju shoved ad5368a037 Kyle away with both 61e8a07d5d hands.
She was so startled 67b0b83dc2 that her heart pounded, 445243be58 and she acted without 13a77e5e67 even processing her thoughts.
But instead of pushing bf5444c948 Kyle back, she found d84190e09f herself tilting backward.
It felt like 5aeff1a486 trying to push e299f56f26 against a solid d32bf71ea6 rock.9a7966f8e09bc626

“Are you pretending not to know to brush this situation aside? Or are you 15f62a15c6 just mocking me?”
