Thank you all for your hard work this past year.

Good job (short story)

I chose Suho as the main character of this article, but I think you can think of your favorite people as well. (That's why I didn't include a picture.) I hope this article will provide some comfort to those of you who are tired of society.

상담사

"Welcome, I am counselor Kim Won-nyeong from Counselor ○○. What are your concerns?"

A woman named Wonnyeong greeted the man with a warmer smile than anyone else, making him feel comfortable.

"I'm... a high school senior now. But my parents put so much pressure on me, it's hard. I'm not smart, and I always fall behind in my studies. So I have no choice but to work harder."

상담사

"Ah... Are you anxious because you think you might fall behind?"

"That's right. If you fall behind in your studies, it will affect your progress."

상담사

"Student, if you fall behind, you have to try harder. It's only natural. But, please stop thinking that you're behind others."

상담사

"Just because you're slow or delayed doesn't mean you're lacking, and just because you're ahead doesn't mean you're accurate. There's no perfect law. That's why students don't need to be impatient. Always keep that in mind. Got it?"

"thank you"

The man left the counselor's office with tears in his eyes, but with a more relieved expression than anyone else, saying thank you.

상담사

"The students must be having a hard time too... I wonder what kind of guests will come next."

상담사

"Welcome, I am counselor Kim Won-nyeong from ○○ Counselor. What is your concern?"

This time, Won-nyeong used formal language, but her expression was warm and made the guest feel at ease.

"Is relationship counseling available here?"

상담사

"sure"

"I broke up with my first love a week ago. But I love that person so much that I can't forget him. What should I do?"

When the man started crying, Won-nyeong naturally pulled out a tissue for him.

상담사

"You must have loved me so much. To the point where my heartache is felt like this."

"Yes, I really, really loved you more than anyone else."

상담사

"I see... Mr. ○○, I can't fully understand all of your sorrow and pain. So, it's up to you to take away that sorrow and pain. What I can do is help you ease that sorrow and pain. Do you understand?"

"yes.."

상담사

"Mr. ○○, do you feel guilty about the breakup?"

"I guess so. If I had done better, she wouldn't have said anything about breaking up."

상담사

"No, Mr. ○○, don't feel guilty. You did your best for that person. You did nothing wrong, and the woman you're talking about didn't do anything wrong either. It's just that your hearts couldn't stay together."

상담사

"Even if you're on the same bus as that person, the stop is different, you know? Someone new will show up."

"Yes, thank you."

상담사

"you're welcome"

I hope that at least it will relieve the man of some of his sadness and pain.

I, Won-nyeong, will speak on behalf of the author. This time, I'm the main character, a counselor. When offering comfort, please don't offer clumsy solutions or suggestions. You don't know if they're right or not. So, please just say a few words, not too many.

Like this. Are you okay? Everything will be okay. I'm doing well.

Even a simple word like this can be a great strength to someone.

But this time, don't comfort anyone else, comfort yourself.

You've worked really hard this year, and I'm grateful for all the hard work you've done so far. I'm telling you that you'll continue to shine in the future.

Thank you for your hard work throughout 2017!

This is my first time writing a message of comfort, and I sincerely hope it offers some comfort to my readers. I'm grateful to everyone who reads my posts, and please leave lots of comments.

I'm curious to hear your opinions!
