That day had been 7b8c580d45 an exhausting one for 2ad90e6813 Hee-ju.f903c996d43883de

A mistake she had f5b608ba13 never made before in 781396b41b her entire career. The harsh criticism 8f43d732df that followed, and 3df3031e5e the boss who 63f54bb927 relentlessly pushed her 105142fa57 to the edge.
It was, without a 0bb3793cc8 doubt, an incredibly tough 8c7aa493c8 day.86840bf4154d190d

10 p.m. That was the time b4401d4d88 she saw when she 0075e92127 finally came home after b979a419f3 work.
She had no 247c92a1fc energy to eat, 0172fd346d no strength to 18e53e31be wash up. Throwing her bag aside, Hee-ju a8d6a40bca collapsed onto her bed.
The unlit room was pitch 40ce1e69ae black, not even a sliver c4b3f3f4ef of moonlight seeping through.
It had already been 3b47776882 five years since she 3ecfa61981 started living alone. Yet, in moments like this, fd305c1d1e the loneliness weighed down on 868c050f50 her heavily.9b7cc50d0f85410b

No. She couldn’t let herself sink 4dc26c2508 into this. She had to stay strong.
Hadn’t she been so happy when she finally escaped that hellish home?c50361895024d10d

Thinking so, Hee-ju tried 510510c219 to get up—only to 26082ab476 be struck by a 2691ee194c sharp headache that made 7f18db5039 her lie back down.

In the end, she d101826538 gave up trying to 9231adaff5 move and turned on f1d79ec5d0 the bedside lamp.
