As I walked along the streets to get Do Hwan his damn burger, the cold air danced with my hair. It is far more comfortable to wear merely socks and slides than it is to wear sneakers. And possibly unlucky.

Because I wasn't looking in the right direction, I fell over a small pebble I'd never seen before. I was on the verge of losing my equilibrium, but my powers were up to the task, and I was able to regain my balance a few seconds later. I sighed and straightened myself up as if nothing had occurred. Before continuing on my way, I cleared my throat.

Dear Heavenly Father, you are indeed real, and I thank you for rescuing my butt from tripping over, Amen.

Do Hwan must be grateful because I'm putting my life on the line in this freezing temperature at night, and I almost fell because of a stupid rock, dang it. Plus, he isn't even paying me or even providing me with food. Water would be good, but he didn't offer it to me.

"of course he is injured!" but still, he should look after me as well.

"why am i even complaining?" gosh, i should take back what i said. I'm out of my mind, i'm crazy. Whatever, i'm only watching over him at night, i'm free during the day anyway. I shouldn't complain, right? Yeah, sure sure.

After chatting with myself, i have finally arrived near the park which where the old lady or should i call her 'burger lady', who sells burgers is stationed.

When I saw the old lady start to close down her food truck window, I froze for a second. In my head, I was planning to dash for it and plead. But, knowing that was never going to happen, I gave up and just stood there watching her close the concession window.

I let out a sigh and kicked a tiny pebble near my feet before turning around and returning to the hospital. Useless. I had just squandered ten minutes of my life.

"Whyyy?!" i threw my head back, raising both of my arms up and fake a cry whilst looking at the stars above. I just wanted to watch k-drama, but instead I went out late at night to get Do Hwan's burger and ended up not buying him any. I'm beginning to regret assisting him.

I was exhausted from the hike and considered taking a cab back to the hospital. But, yeah, that's a ridiculous notion. To begin with, I don't have any cash on me, excluding Do Hwan's money. And hell no I'm gonna spend his money, what am I? His sugar baby? Nah.

I'll just have to ignore my laziness and force myself to return to the hospital in under ten minutes. When I took a step forward, I wore my hood over my head and stomped my foot.

Few people will glance at me weirdly everytime i pass by them. I mean, i do be looking like a zombie walking down the street, sighing a lot of times.

I'm just tired of myself. All I wanted right now was to get as far away from home as possible and fly to Paris, where I could eat pasta and take a couple selfies with the Eiffel Tower. My imagination can be strange at times, but it's not impossible.

Minutes had passed, and I have finally arrived! I raised my fist in the air and smiled at the guards stationed at the glass doors. I began singing a tune in a high-pitched voice while dancing around like a fool.

"i have arrived!" i exclaimed whilst raising both of my arms in the air like a drunk bitch. For a brief moment, I considered treating myself with teokkboki. But, since a moron like me didn't brought my purse, I should simply cry and hope for the best that I won't have a need for teokkboki in the middle of the night.

I sighed deeply before sighing in irritation. The guards stared at me strangely, as if I had done something stupid. Did I really sigh that loudly? I'm not sure.

I shrugged my shoulders and dragged my feet inside the hospital. Once I was near the doors, I heard one of the guards whispered something about me. But, I didn't care much since I don't want to argue with the guard.
