Have you ever felt like your body is just a shell? What you achieve with your blood and soul begins to lose meaning.
Except for my father, who always ignored my existence, my mother was the only person who loved me unconditionally. After she died, I felt as if a large part of my life had vanished in the blink of an eye. My tears and pain were buried deep within me, completely affecting me. Since then, I've focused on establishing a career to alleviate my loneliness and distance myself from my father. But now that I have everything, I'm trapped in isolation.
Knock! Knock!
"Come in," I said, lighting a cigarette and sucking the first drag.
Cigarettes always satisfy me; the way the smoke escapes through my lips, leaving a lingering taste in my mouth before absorbing in the air as if it never existed. I aspire to be like it.
"I knew you'd still be working." Jeongyeon Unnie said while coughing slightly from the smoke.
"What keeps you here? Unnie?"
"Have I mentioned my friend's wedding to you before?" She asked as she sat in front of me, and I nodded. "This month's wedding was unexpectedly planned. So I have to fly to Los Angeles tonight for the destination wedding."
"Tonight? All of a sudden?"
"Yes, they did send me tickets, but don't be concerned. I have completed the majority of the work on Mr. Lee's project and have also arranged for you to have a personal secretary." I choked on my saliva as she spoke.
"Personal assistant? You already know how I feel about it."
"You do, however, require one. And if I take a month off, how will you manage the workload on your own?" I sighed as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"I enjoy my personal space and am able to complete the work. So I don't require one."
"But Chae, try to understand. My cousin is having financial difficulties as a result of her father's unexpected illness. So I'd already told her about the job. Please!!! Please!! Accept it." Unnie said with puppy eyes, and I sighed, throwing my hands in the air.
"Ok! Fine!" I said, and she hugged me across the table.
"Ok! Ok! Now get away from me!! You're breaking my bones!!" I screamed, and she drew back, scratching her chin.
"I'm sorry!"
"Btw, tell her everything advance, and is she experienced or not?"
"OK. Don't worry about it, but she's new in this firm, so please look after her. By the way, she is good in households, so if she stays with you, it will be good for you as well." Jeongyeon Unnie said, and I gave her a bored expression. I don't need her to help me with my housework.
"By the way, I have to leave now. Goodbye, Chae! Also, try not to be so cold with her. She'll be there tomorrow!" She yelled and walked away, leaving me to stand in front of my large glass window.
'Did I make the right decision in hiring a personal secretary?' But I have faith in Jeongyeon Unnie; she may have chosen the best option for me. But I'm going to keep my distance from her. Emotions weaken people.' I thought myself While admiring the view of rushing cars and the city's lighting.
We are so consumed with the race of life that we forget about ourselves. But I want to find myself, and I want someone on whom I can rely, but I'm afraid. What if the person breaks my heart? What if the emotions were buried within me, and I became lost in them?
