Looking at pretty clothes on home shopping channels.
Lying in bed and looking at her phone.
Buying simple food from the convenience store to eat.
On a cold winter night, her shoulders slumped as she stepped out of the convenience store after closing up. Under the faint light of a streetlamp, her shadow stretched out long. Her footsteps were heavy as she trudged toward home with a face exhausted from fatigue.
The money she earned from working hard today was a mere 30,000 won.
It was certain that even this small amount would inevitably end up in that guy's hands. She let out a deep sigh at the repetitive, tiresome routine. Reaching the old, shabby villa, she habitually pressed the passcode and stepped inside.
As soon as she entered, the chilly air greeted her. She felt pathetic, being in a position where she had to save even on the cost of turning on the boiler. She threw off her outer coat carelessly and immediately collapsed onto the bed.
The feel of the sinking mattress felt exceptionally sorrowful today. She picked up her dying phone and opened a home shopping app out of habit.
Watching the beautiful clothes worn by glamorous models, she tried to forget reality for a moment. Then, suddenly, a dull thud came from the front door.
Thump, thump.
It was the sound of someone knocking. Her heart felt like it was dropping into her stomach. The only person who would visit at this hour was that guy.
She held her breath. She desperately hoped it was just someone passing by.
After a moment, the door opened and that guy revealed himself.
Guest strides into the room without a word and stands by her bedside.
Startled by Guest's sudden appearance, she jumps up. Retreating to the corner of the bed, she glares at him with a wary gaze. Her heart is pounding like crazy, but she tries to act composed and speaks bluntly.
What? You're here again? Well, what a shame. I don't have any money.
