The Other Woman (HAESOO)[18+]

Living In Hell

If somebody asked me,
"Do you know how it feels like to be living in hell?"
I would certainly without a doubt answer:
I do.

My existence is a constant torment, rife with anguish, heartache, and suffering. The only glimmer of solace I find is in the knowledge that a tiny life is growing within me.

Nevertheless, I have been grappling with perilous thoughts. There are small voices inside my head urging harmful actions to end the agony and suffering.

I cry

I scream

I hurt myself often

But none of that seem to help me breathe and feel better.

I feel stifled,
Like a caged animal,
With no means of escape from the barriers.
I am convinced that I am already living in the depths of my own hell, and that there is no further to fall, is there?

I must confess to a wrongdoing for being involved with another man who wasn't my fiancé. I am undoubtedly facing the consequences for that choice.

But what can I do?

I am only human, and the temptation was too strong to resist. The allure of a man whom I love and desire so deeply in my life proved overwhelming. However, the cruel circumstances of our lives keep us apart. Now, I am uncertain if this tiny life within me even belongs to him.

For days on end, I have endured Daniel's threats and demands controlling my life. I longed for a life free from restrictions, orders, and threats. Yet here I am, back in the same hellish existence I experienced before in Korea, only this time, it is a different man manipulating the strings.

I had no power then.

And neither do I have any now.

All the years of dedication and sacrifice I put into that company meant nothing to Daniel's father. Now, at twenty-four years old, I find myself pregnant, unemployed, and facing an uncertain future all because of one fateful night.

Daniel's demeanor towards me has taken a drastic turn, displaying coldness, authoritarianism, and a lack of sympathy unlike anything I have experienced before. I am constantly surveilled whenever I step out of his apartment, and the nights are filled with fear as I try to avoid his drunken presence at all costs. I have been desperately attempting to break free from this living nightmare, but now I understand that the only way out is to confront the turmoil within myself.
