Prologue
read with caution!
I gripped the rope on my hand as I look above the ceiling. A dangling chandelier is hanging above me and for once I hated how it looked, no matter how beautiful and elegant it is. I just hated looking at beautiful things. It just makes me hesitate more. A chair below it is where I will stand, maybe not anymore after I hang myself in the chandelier.
A small laugh escaped my hoarse throat just by thinking about it. My lips are so dry I could taste blood when I try to bite it. I didn’t eat for several days, I just can’t. I tried to starve myself but I can’t seem to die that way, I could only hear growls inside my stomach, and that’s it. I tried drowning myself on a bathtub but I remembered a have a big lungs, I don’t want to die with just water. I want something cooler than that, maybe hanging myself will do. So here I am. I know I deserve all of these and no one can stop me from committing such sin.
As I was about to step up on the chair and ready to tie the rope around my neck, a knock made me stop from what I am doing. My heart beats faster I thought it was already over for me. I heard the knock again, and for the third time I slowly went to the door to open it.
A woman showed up, more like an employee in the hotel. I gripped tighter at the knob, and was about to close the door when she said those words that made me weak in my knees. “Good morning, sir! My name is Song Mirae and I just wanted to tell you that you should take care of yourself. I hope that you stay healthy and be happy for the rest of your life. That’s all, goodbye!” She bowed aggressively and ran away as if she was in a hurry.
I stared at the food that was in front of me. It was well prepared for me? All the dishes I like we’re placed in front of me, as I hear my starving stomach growl in hunger. My eyes watered and I don’t know how to react. I wandered my eyes when I saw a rectangular thing I assume is a nametag beside the tray. I took it as I read what it says.
“Song Mirae?”
