"hello?"
[Oh, Dad... Daughter]
"Hey, Dad, what's going on?"
[Our daughter... How's everything going at the hospital these days...?]
"It's the same~ I'm still busy"
[Oh, I see haha..]
"By the way, what's wrong? Your voice doesn't sound good.
What happened?"
[Uh..what's the matter, Dad, of course I called because I missed my daughter..haha..]
"What~ I miss you too haha
How is your dad these days?
"Don't you need money?"
[Oh, that's... Yeoju]
"huh?"
[Dad actually... lost some money this time..?]
"Money? Is it because of gambling again..?"
[I can get it back soon..!! Seriously.]
"...dad"
[Dad, you're having a hard time these days, daughter..
Our heroine... I'm sorry about your father]
"....."
[Our heroine... isn't she nice..?]
"How much do you need..?"
[As expected, Dad only has our daughter]
"...lol"
[Only about 3,000...]
"Th,three thousand..?!"
[Yes.. My daughter is always thankful and loves her father.]
"...okay"
_Ttuk
Ha... Dad's back at gambling again... You promised me last time would be the last time...
I don't even know how many times this has happened, but my dad has been asking me for a lot of money in the name of love.
Every time that happens, my resolve to be strong seems to be in vain, and I always have to give in. Is it because he's my only blood relative? For whatever reason, if someone saw me like that, they'd probably look like a fool. But I... I'm okay, really.
Because I love my dad, and because my dad needs me too... That's all there is to it.
"under...
It's okay, Jeong Yeo-ju, you can do it!!"
I've gotten used to this, so I'll have to work hard today too, fighting on my own.

"Ugh... my back"
It's finally time to leave work.
Working as an emergency room resident at a university hospital, I was running around so fast, treating dozens of emergency patients a day, that my back was about to give out.
My fellow doctors all own cars and drive around, but I, who earn the same salary, can't even dream of doing so.
I studied like crazy to become a doctor, clearly hoping for a happy future free from financial worries. Why am I still stuck in this tedious cycle of poverty? I know the answer, but I pretend not to know anything and just lament my fate. That's all there is to it.

I was about to leave work in my civilian clothes, taking off my white gown, which smelled strongly of disinfectant, when a junior doctor called me.
"senior"
"why?"
"That person who has been coming here a lot lately...
"You're here again"
"also?!
Sigh... Really"
"Yes... what should I do?"
"I'll go and see"
There's this crazy guy who keeps coming to see me right when I get off work lately.
I pretended not to know him, thinking that if I ignored him for a day or two, he would eventually give up and go away, but he kept coming to me without stopping for a whole week. At this point, it's hard to pretend not to know him, and I just have to let it end.
"hey"
"Oh, heroine."
"Why do you keep coming?"
"I think you know the reason."
"If it's because of that suggestion last time,
I would have definitely refused."
"Hmm... Think again
"It would be a good deal for you too."
"Okay, I won't do it."
"Okay, if you change your mind later, just let me know."
"I don't think that will happen."
"Hey, I'll give you a ride, get in."
(ignore)
"Still prickly."
I passed him, who was muttering something unintelligible, and boarded a familiar bus. As I sat, I looked out the window, and he was still standing. Feeling a strange sense of unease, I turned my gaze again.
/
I first saw that guy probably about a week ago.
Even though we didn't even know each other, he was clearly in a precarious situation. He was lying alone, bleeding, in a deep alley.
As a doctor, I couldn't just ignore the sick man. Out of a sense of professionalism, I treated him, and he made me a sweet offer.
"Would you like to work for me?"
"I'll pay off all your father's debts and promise you a higher salary than you would get at a hospital."
To be honest, it was an attractive offer, but there were too many questionable aspects to readily accept it.
I was very suspicious of how he knew about my family situation and how he was making such an offer to me when we were just meeting today.
And most of all, I had a feeling that the 'thing' they were asking me to do together was not normal, given that they were offering such a large sum of money.
It could be very dangerous.
I was blinded by the money and my life was more precious than I was willing to accept the offer, so I politely declined and thought that would be the end of it, but that man... seemed to be someone who didn't know how to give up.
From that day on, he came to me every single day without fail, and he didn't seem to care even though I rejected him every time.
Wow... he's a mysterious man

- The next day
Today, the morning is bright and it is time to go to work as usual.
I walked out of the house with a limping gait, and there was a black sedan parked there that looked expensive at first glance, completely out of place in the apartment I lived in.
I noticed it from afar, so I watched it for a while, and then, unexpectedly, the black sedan was coming towards me.
Just as I was panicking, the sedan's window opened and the person inside was, as expected, Kim Taehyung.
"Haha, are you surprised?"
"not really"
Actually, I was really surprised, but I didn't want to lose, so I pretended not to be surprised and asked.
"What? Why is that person in front of my house?"
"Um... because you miss me?"
"If you're going to talk nonsense, please leave."
"ㅋㅋㅋㅋYou're still prickly today too"
"Let's get to the point."
"Get on first. It's not too late, is it?"
"Who are you late for now..!"
"That doesn't mean I'll take responsibility, right?
Get on quickly
I'll tell you the main point on the way."
"...."
It was true that it was late and I had something to say to him, so I reluctantly got into his car.
As I got into the car, I could faintly see his satisfied smile.
"So, back to the main point."
"Oh, okay, back to the main point.
I have to say it (snickers)"
He let out a meaningful laugh for some reason and got straight to the point.
"Honey, I think a week would have been enough.
To decide"
"...?"
"I wish you would stop choosing now..."
"Is that the offer you're talking about?"
"huh"
"Ha... I clearly said I wouldn't do that."
"...My lady,
I'm telling you this because I think you don't know anything right now."
"From the beginning, you only had one choice.
Accept it, or
"Die or"
"What is that..!!"
"It's a shame... I wish you had come on your own two feet..."
"I can't wait any longer... I'm a bit busy, you know."
"What are you talking about now?"
"You're going to have to accept it anyway."
"Huh...! Do you think that will work?!"
"why?
"Do you think I can't do it?"
I couldn't hide my shock at the sudden change in atmosphere, as if the previous slyness had been a joke.
Those inorganic eyes, as if they could kill someone like me. I can confidently say I've only ever seen someone with eyes like those once in my life.
