She rose from the bed, placing her feet onto the hard, concrete floor. Her eyes scanned her surroundings and a sigh escaped her mouth. Another day, another opportunity had slipped from her grasp. Four years, it's been four years, she reminded herself. She was nineteen now.
"jisoo you're up! " chan-ri smiled warmly at her roomate. She's been with jisoo since day one. When they were first brought into these camps both of them had attempted suicide within the first ten days but they had failed. Since then both of them decided to fight, to never give up. But for how long could they keep this spirit up? With the loss of almost everything in their lives, they didn't even have the right to guard their own dignity as well.
Jisoo noded her head slightly. "see what I brought for you." chan-ri's eyes shone with excitement.
"what? " asked jisoo. A little curious.
"a fresh piece of bread! Man was it hard to save one! You know how rare it is to get one here." she took a pause before she carefully placed that half bread piece in jisoo's lap as if it was the most precious thing in the world. "now eat it before they come. I've to go. " she patted her shoulder gently and left.
She took a small bite of her bread and while chewing on it she walked towards the small broken window and peeked outside to the world. Meanwhile praying for better days. "they're here. " were the words that escaped her mouth like a stunned whisper and dazed she rushed towards her bed without even bothering to add a bit of a touch up. Yes! as strange as it sounded. Looking "pleasent" for these monsters was one of the several orders that these women had to follow.
She laid down and forced her eyes shut. The lines formed at the corner of her eyes were easily visible due to the amount of pressure she used to close them. Both her hands gripped the stained bed sheet tightly in each. Not after too long, the door flung open. Despite it, Jisoo's eyes remaind shut as she laid there lifeless to be done with it.
It had been like this since the past four years. Every morning from 8 am till 6 pm she had to have sex with these soilders like every other comfort Woman in this camp and on Sunday's like today it's from 8 am till 5 pm. Hungry men lined outside, one after the other. Impatiently waiting for their turns to satisfy their sexual appetites. It was almost hard to recall the count by the end of the day.
Why is there silence? The door did open then why is it that nobody hovered over her body yet? It was unlikely..
Suspicious of the strange silence her eye lids relaxed a bit as she slowly opened her eyes to eagrly scan her surroundings. Her eyes laid on a young, tall manly figure in a white uniform, standing besides the door. One look just one look at her and he reached for the door and exit.
Leaving her in.. Shock.
The look in his eyes made her body tremble. For the first time in all these years had someone left without strangling her body, without fulfilling that hunger in their eyes. It was for the first time. And as mush as she hated the thought she still couldn't help it.
Was it because she didn't wear any make up today? Does she look this horrible without it?
She quickly justified her thoughts.
If wearing no makeup could keep these men away from her then she swore to never wear even a bit of it again.
"I want to do it like major Kim! " a heavy voice brought jisoo out of her little trance and she immediately closed her eyes shut again. He jumped on the bed, impatiently. Hungry.
"did he touch you like that? "
"did he pull your frock like that? "
"did he knead your breasts? "
Did he this.. Did he that? .. Jisoo remained quiet through it all. It was the first one this morning and her body already ached. But nothing compared to how it is by the end of the day when paramedics would come and treat the effected parts. When she wouldn't even be able to walk.
The man moaned while zipping his pants. "till next time. " he laughed shamelessly. And the other one immideatly came in.
That's when she realised,
It wasn't the makeup..
