The garden was calm, the breeze whispered to the trees as the leaves danced along wiggling over the grass covering them from the burning sun. People laughed and blabbered as they walked across the bridge back and forth. They were like flies passing by buzzing in each other's ears. Jeon looked at them as they walked past her, not even bothering to look and wave at her. They didn't even glance at her. They are just all continued buzzing in her ear like millions of flies and bees. Though, was she supposed to be so bothered? She just kept walking through her life like an unalive being so stiffly and numbly, no wonder they never noticed she was even there. Even though she looked like an unapproachable person, that's what she craved the most. She wanted companionship, she wanted somebody to be with her and talk to her.

Every day she would wake up, she'd feel the weight on her shoulders always making it hard for her to stand up, to eat, to walk, to move on, it would ruin her. The thought of dying alone or staying alone for her eternity. But she wasn't alone. Every day she would wake up, her eyes would open to the sight of her loved ones. Her husband, her children, her family all living together, though they were all buzzing flies. It was all so melancholic. But who could've known that there are things that wouldn't make her feel so empty, even though they would be so bizarre, even though she would walk into a forest to see the bats, and that would make her euphoric.
