BGM suggestion: BTS - 'Make It Wrong (Make It Right Melancholy Ver.)' piano cover by Smyang

 

I'm sitting at the table of my apartment, working on assignments, when the ting of my phone breaks the silence. I tap on the screen of the device to display the message. It comes from my boss. “The renovation work is done and the store reopens next Monday,” it reads. The pen slides from my fingers and falls on the papers with a small sound. I stare at my phone absentmindedly for some time. It feels like a cold shower. I put my elbow on the table and drop my head in my hands, a heavy sigh escaping my lips. I knew it would happen sooner or later but it just felt too early, even if I had a whole month to prepare myself. Now it’s two days away and I feel anxiety creep up in my guts. Ji Min and the Magic Shop appear behind my closed eyelids. I pray to the stars outside my window that the doctors will come next week.

Chapter 22: The parents are to harsh on her... though I can relate a bit, but it wasn't this strict.
I wonder who the person is at the end with Seomin.
Thanks for the update as usual :)

Chapter 20: Hello, and I'm back lol. Just finished reading your two updates!
Good thing that Seomin quit the job at the store and for standing up for herself at last. I know Jimin will take really good care of her. It was also nice to know that her doctors were once patients themselves, ah I'm curious about their story as well. As always, I like the flow of your story, so don't feel rushed. Take your time because you're doing great!
