My Sinful Addiction - Jeongmo

Chapter 1

The sound of my morning alarm delivered the usual message to my mind that told me to wake up. After a few seconds of denial, I finally reached out and turned it off. I lazily lifted my head and rubbed my eyes releasing the last bit of sleepiness in me. I slowly opened them and they immediately started twitching by the sunlight coming from the window. I looked away and grabbed my phone. It was around 8 am. My head was feeling a bit heavy. I may have slept too much.

After a few seconds of just sitting still in my bed, I eventually moved on and got out of it. I went to the bathroom, had my cup of coffee, brushed my teeth, put my work clothes on and then I was good to go. My work shift started in about 15 minutes. I took my bike and rode it to my work-place as usual. It was the middle of December and it was cold as hell. How ironic.

'Ugh, I already miss my bed'

I reached my destination and parked my bike, then took off my helmet and quickly went inside. I worked in a café as a waitress. I just recently moved out of my parents' house because I wanted to live independently and create my own lifestyle, but I kinda forgot that the rent was a little expensive, so I quickly had to find some kind of job to pay the rent for a while, while I looked for a place to be hired to do my dream job. My dream job was to be an actress. I've always looked up to many actresses during my childhood, and I always found it fascinating to almost turn into a whole different person on camera, and like play the role of a character with a type of personality you might've never thought of.

The thing is, that whenever I auditioned for acting, I never got accepted since I always got a little nervous when I locked eyes with the people who were judging my acting ability. I know it's a bad thing when it comes to acting, but I always believed that I'd make it someday and finally fulfill my dream.

Working as a waitress in a café isn't the hardest job in the world, but it was definitely tiring. Especially after working a long shift, that required not only to serve the customers but to clean the whole place, wipe the tables, wash the cups and dishes and clean the floor every single day. I couldn't wait to be an actress and actually do something I enjoyed for the rest of my life.

When I finally finished my long ass shifts and it became dark, I had to wear my helmet and ride my bike back home just like how I arrived in the morning. When I was home, I took a shower, changed into my comfy clothes, ate a late dinner and then went to bed.

This was basically my life. Boring, tiring and pretty much unsuccessful. The same thing repeated every single day until one day where I had witnessed something that changed everything. At that moment, it was as if I had hit a restart button and completely started over with my life. It was the day I survived a car accident.

"Don't forget your next shift Momo, see you tomorrow"

It was a normal Tuesday afternoon. I had just finished work, and I was heading home on my bike. I had my earphones in and I was just casually listening to chill relaxing music while I was on my way home. It had been a long day, and I couldn't wait to lay on my bed. But while I was riding my bike, something bumped into me from behind making me lose my balance and immediately fall to the ground. My earphones got unplugged, and I remember closing my eyes while I felt my body shaking. My mind couldn't even process what was happening and I was too scared to open my eyes.

"I'm so sorry miss, are you okay?! Should I call the ambulance?!"

I heard a male voice coming from above me, so I opened my eyes and saw a man with a terrified and worried look on his face looking down at me. He kept apologizing and he reached his hand to me helping me get up. I didn't fully understand what was happening, but I noticed his car was literally an inch away from running me over. How did I survive that? How could he possibly have stopped just in time?
