Four days 2b7cf754d7 had passed 4825c8a034 since EunSeo 1c6e2adf24 had begun d8544cedf8 to practice 3cf17cedc3 walking.6e8793a6e5885fa7
At first, she had to rely mostly on MuGyeom’s strength as she moved her hands along the poles. However, today, she managed to support herself on the poles on her own.ba0f4f134ed9293f

EunSeo’s daily schedule started when MuGyeom would carry her on his back for their morning walk. After they ate lunch, EunSeo would practice walking until the sun began to set. MuGyeom would then douse a cotton cloth in warm water and apply it to her feet and calves.dd5af9ce51a2d683
MuGyeom told her that because she was beginning to use muscles that hadn’t been used in a while, they would have to do this in order to keep them from being overworked. Therefore, he never missed a day and diligently remembered to apply the warm cotton to her calves and feet.1b08cff47f779054
