The Binding Angel || Tzukook

The woman stood up with her 4.7 cm black heels, black women's work suit, and straight hair, and tried to shake her leg reducing tiredness in front of the mirror in the restroom.

The nametag which was tagged on her upper right suit, was written with Chou Tzuyu. She tidied up her makeup a bit before leaving the toilet.

Her phone in her left hand suddenly rang and she picked it up in an instant.

"Hello," she answered the call.

"Tzuyu-ssi, can you go to the hospital right now?" the woman's voice on the other phone asked her in a calm voice.

"Yes? I am sorry.., but I can be there 4 hours from now. Is it fine?" She bit her lips with nervousness. Tzuyu had given so much trouble for her friend who stand beside her, because of her absents from taking care of her mother in the hospital.

"Okay Ms. Chou Tzuyu, I am sorry for disturbing you. But make sure you will come here as soon as possible Ms. Tzuyu " The woman answered casually without further explanation.

"No, I am the one who should say sorry, I will be there in 4 hours. Thank you Miss Kang for your concern, Thank you." Tzuyu slightly bowed her back in respect to the nurse who was always beside her mother when she was away. The nurse ended the call and she left the restroom to the receptionist's desk.

"Yah...Tzuyu-ah." Lee Hyo, a middle-aged man, who was her manager called her after seeing her coming out of the restroom.

"Yes.. manager-nim.." she approached him and gave him a slight bow. She smiled sheepishly knowing that he would scold her about her absents. Her ears naturally deafened after doing a lot of trials.

"How many times should I say, If you won't do the work just write a resignation letter? Didn't I?" he sarcastically said the words to her with his widened eyes and his shaken head.

She couldn't just agree with his words or disagree with his words either. She often put on an absents and rescheduled her shift with her friend, Dahyun because of her mother's condition. The fact that she was the only family her mother's had, forced her to do that at once.

" I am sorry..." She pouted her lips a bit and bowed once again.

"Every day, just sorry.." he mumbled in his so-called English, then left her alone. She exhaled her breath after he left. She was ready to give him a punch behind his back when he turned his back away. Her manager's attitude often acted like a stepmother, definitely rising her blood pressure.

Tzuyu took a seat beside her friend Kim Dahyun, who was still doing her work on the computer. She pushed a cup of warm coffee to her desk, Dahyun who was looking to monitor, peek at her motion and smiled earnestly. Tzuyu mouthed 'thank you' to Dahyun and back on to her work again.

Dahyun hid the coffee behind her monitor after she took a sip and back to her work again.

Chou Tzuyu worked at JK Enterprise for 3 years. She used to get awards as the best employer for 5 months in a row.

Unfortunately, her performance was falling since her mother was hospitalized, because of a cancer that was diagnosed a year ago.

The condition of her mother was at its worst when she first got hospitalized a year ago.

Tzuyu's mother should take chemotherapy and radiotherapy together after knowing it was in a terminal state. She should be hospitalized to get a plenary treatment and waited for enough money to get the surgery done. Even though the age of her mother matters so much, Tzuyu should try it for her mother in any case.
