Her sneakers have been neatly positioned on the facet of the doorway.

The day she advised Woo-hyun at his home that they need to now cease, he stood taking a look at her for a very long time after which, with none additional stubbornness, silently introduced her coat and sneakers out of his room. Regardless of making an attempt to dissuade her, he put the coat on her himself, and even sat in entrance of the door and put her footwear on her.

When she had placed on each her proper and left sneaker, he slowly tied the shoelaces once more.

Within the butterfly form she preferred.

After ending tying her shoelaces, he stood nonetheless for a very long time, overlaying the knot along with his palms. As if he wasn’t assured to take his palms off it. Then, his palms trembled, and tears poured down on them.

Yoo-hwa checked out him for a very long time, who was coping with their parting like that. On high of that look, her personal look when she checked out Woo-hyun’s sneakers overlapped.

The identical look, at a special time.

Hers and Woo-hyun’s.

If they’d met on the similar time in the identical method, would they appear totally different from now?

Irrespective of how a lot she tried to think about it, it didn’t come to her thoughts. As if it was one thing that couldn’t be there.

Yoo-hwa’s gaze slowly moved to the sink, as if she had by no means been misplaced in thought.

As if she didn’t see the footwear on the doorstep. As if nothing had occurred.

She actually wanted to work now.

She opened a checking account after a couple of days and had that thought.

The faint satisfaction of getting a comfortable house, the tranquility of having the ability to reside a wealthy life with out fascinated by something, just like the mud floating round the home for days, was damaged by the bare steadiness of her account. After spending all the cash she had on meals, solely the residing bills that will permit her to reside for barely one month remained.

It was the results of residing a messy life for some time, consuming if she needed to eat, sleeping if she needed to sleep. Getting up, Yoo-hwa placed on her coat and went straight out of the home.

The entire world was transferring quietly to welcome the brand new season. Yoo-hwa checked out that surroundings for a very long time, along with her eyes extensive open.

She slowly raised her hand and unfold her fingers. The wind, which had stopped for a second, instantly blew the second she unfold her fingers, as if it had been ready for an opportunity. A nice, light spring breeze handed between the tender pores and skin of her fingers. The wind that grazed her hair, the sunshine that touched her cheeks, and the timber tinged with inexperienced within the distance have been excellent to make her excited.

It was superb… however it was unusual.

Discovering a job was simpler than anticipated. It was a coincidence. She thought she ought to go to an space the place there was a excessive focus of retailers as a result of there have been no correct jobs within the residential space she lived in, so she took a bus and acquired off in the midst of a busy avenue. Her thoughts turned foggy whereas she suffocated in entrance of a crowd so massive that it made her surprise if all of the individuals residing close by got here out directly.

Nonetheless, contradictorily, when her thoughts turned foggy, she felt like she was going to reside with out fascinated by something.

What in the event that they level their finger at her and name her the daughter of a assassin?

She couldn’t consider something associated to Woo-hyun when going through such tense vigilance.

Yoo-hwa, who was trying on the individuals passing by giving her bizarre seems and the individuals within the distance who didn’t even care about her, casually turned her head and noticed a paper saying ‘In search of a part-timer’ caught in entrance of a grilled fish retailer. With out considering, she walked in and advised the proprietor that she had come to work part-time, and the proprietor, who seemed up and down at her, reached out his hand. Questioning what he was asking for, she gave him her resident card, and the proprietor laughed as if he was stunned.

Solely then did she understand that she didn’t even have the fundamentals. She thought she ought to cease by a PC room to print out her resume if she noticed a correct part-time job, however fully forgot about it as quickly as she noticed the speeding crowd.

“You’re a wierd younger woman.”

The proprietor alternated between the photograph on her resident card and her face, after which requested her bluntly.

“Can you’re employed for a very long time?”

“Sure.”

“This job is tough.”

“It’s alright. I can do a great job even when it’s onerous.”

She was even glad to listen to that it was onerous. She needed to exhaust her remaining power from head to toe, in order that not a single speck was left.

In order that she may overlook who she was, who she cherished, who she needed to be cherished by, and who she was deserted by.

“The place do you reside?”

“Close by.”

“The working hours are as indicated in entrance of you, so examine that. I don’t like lateness, so come early. And once more, this job is tough, so don’t come right here with out some first rate willpower. It seems such as you’re tenacious, although.”

“Sure. Understood.”
