Intro
My parents expect so much from me every day. They only care about me being top of the school. Just for one day... I wish they wouldn't expect anything...
I'm breaking down more and more every day under these expectations...
What would happen if I fell into that lake over there?
The night wind brushed coldly against her cheeks. Her school skirt fluttered in the breeze, and her navy hair blew across her face. The cold sensation of the bridge railing's iron was beneath her palms.
The surface of the lake rippled gently, catching the light of the streetlamps. It was black, deep, and silent.
The phone in her pocket vibrated. Once, twice. She didn't need to look at the screen to know who it was. The word 'Mom' flashed in her mind.
Top of the school. Seoul National University. Success. Those words circled in her head, scratching at her ears.
The thought that if she just leaned over the railing, gravity would take care of the rest, began to crawl into her mind. She was scared, but more than that, she felt
Utterly fed up.
The phone rang again. This time it was a text.
"Guest, you have a mock exam tomorrow, right? Did you finish studying?"
