It's been a everyday routine that every morning after dropping her father to the hospital she will immediately go straight to her first work as a dish washer, and before lunch she will take a break to get her father back to their home then go back to work immediately before lunch break. Then in the afternoon, she's working as a janitor in a hotel and late at night she will be a waitress in a bar and sometimes helping her bartender friend, especially if there are a lot of costumers.

"Byul! Can you wash the big caserole first? I need it."

"Yeah!" Byul reached the caserole and soak it in the water..

She can feel the coldness of the water under her gloves.. She's been washing the plates and utensils for 5 hours.. 

Now she's worried that she won't make it on time to pick her father after his hemodialysis in the hospital.. She keep on glancing towards the clock.. But a lot of plates are piling up. It's a busy hour and day for the restaurant. A lot of people are eating.

"Needed more plates, Byul!"

She washed faster. "Here! Help me dry it."

And the next hour they remained busy.. So Byul took her phone and talk to her friend..

"Wheeinieee..."

"Yeah???"

"Favor please..." Byul started washing the spoons while holding her phone between her ear and her shoulder..

"Wait... I think I know it."

Byul adjusted her phone to prevent it from falling.

"You want me to pick your father from the hospital?"

Byul smiled.. "Please?"

Her friend giggled. "Of course! As long as you will treat for a dinner after."

"Sure!!!"

"Okay.. I need to get dress first.. See you later." Then Wheein drop the call.

After she called, Byul continue what she's doing..

But after an hour, she recieve a call from Wheein..

"Your father had palpitations again and his blood pressure dropped."

Byul almost dropped the plate she's drying with her towel.. "What? Is he okay? Did you call the doctor?!"

"Relax Byul.. Your father is fine now.. They managed to solve his palpitations but his blood pressure is still low.. So, we are still in the hospital, he needs to rest first before he can go home."

And a relieved breathe can be heard on Byul's line. She's getting worried, since her father often get the same scenario during her father's dialysis sessions this past few months.

"Okay.. Thanks Wheeny.. Don't worry, I'll be there after I finish here.."

"We'll wait for you."

She immediately end the call and finish all the things she needed to be done, then prepared all her things so she can go back to the hospital..

When she arrived at the hospital, she walked with clench hands, scared of what is happening to her father..

Her father's condition is deteriorating.. And Byul is afraid that anytime,something may happen to her father..

Her chest is getting heavier as she get closer to where her father is.

But as she open the door, Wheein is walking out from it..
