Shin Family [2]

Although there were barely any ingredients in the kitchen which Jiwoo preferred, she finally managed to cook up something for her.

Although it wasn't the best type of food she ate, due to the hunger, she could bear through the food.

After eating the food, Jiwoo was resolute to go out and find a job for she did not want to taste the same type of food again. The instant noodles she ate few times was better than this.

Nevertheless, as Jiwoo ate the food, she was glad that those Daerin's family members were not present. If they annoyed her, then she surely couldn't have held in her temper.

Carrying a small backpack on her shoulders, Jiwoo stepped out of the apartment after unlocking the door with the keys she found hanging on the wall.

Everything about this life of her frustrated her. The shoes were uncomfortable to the touch, and they even had scratches on them. 

Her clothing and accessories were not even from counterfeit brands, and they all seemed to be picked up from a trash can in Jiwoo's opinion. 

Her backpack was torn at various parts, which seemed to be sewed poorly, and going out like this, Jiwoo felt merely embarrassed. 

Even after washing her hair for a while, she was unable to get rid of the smell from it, and nothing she tried in the morning could moisten her dry hair even slightly. 

The face appeared to belong to some thirteen year old and held certain amount of innocence to it. Jiwoo did not like how cute she appeared even if she attempted to put on a nonchalant expression.

With that face, who would even think of her as a twenty year old?

Even after pouring out her anger towards Minnie— which Minnie remained silent about— Jiwoo felt equally agitated as she did when she woke up. If not that, then she felt more angered.

Realizing that there was no key inside her bag, Jiwoo decided to take the key along with her. Judging by how those people were, she doubted that those people will be opening doors for her.

Closing the door behind her, Jiwoo locked it before heading down the stairs. Seeing how thin and steep the stairs were, her eyes widened. How was she supposed to walk on them without slipping?

Judging by how dirty the railings appeared, Jiwoo immediately moved her eyes away from them, and taking in a deep breath, she slowly got down the stairs whilst trying her best to keep balance.

She most definitely did not want to stain her dress more than it already was. After she had gotten down the last step, Jiwoo found herself being relieved. 

Fortunately enough, she did not trip down those series of stairs.

"If I had forgotten to mention it yesterday, here it is now; Your stability is better than ordinary people."

"Aish! You should have told me about it earlier. Then, I would not have to be this scared," Jiwoo mumbled, "You in my head, you're really useless!"

Walking over to the gate, Jiwoo extended her hand towards it, and realizing how it had stains over it, she drew her hand back. She did not have the courage to touch that.

'Yah! Weird creature in my head, open the door somehow! You can not expect me to touch that!'

"Sorry, Jiwoo, but I can not do anything about it. You either open it or wait for someone to appear, who would be willing to open the door," Minnie vocalised.

'What do you mean you can't help, Weird creature in my head!? You're the one who brought me here, so you should know a way out of this!'

At that moment, Jiwoo heard footsteps from the other side of the gate, and raising her head, she looked towards the direction of the gate.
