Eun Ah sat stiffly on the couch, her gaze lost on the clock hanging on the wall.

45 minutes to go.

The room smelled like stale potpourri and air freshener. It made her sick. Every breath was a struggle and just made her lungs feel heavy.

But then again, she was used to that feeling by now.

The room itself looked like it was decorated to distract from its real purpose.

The real reason why anyone would be there.

Her eyes stayed locked on the clock and it felt like ever second it ticked, it mocked her. Like it was reminding her that time only moved forward.

She had a clipboard balancing on her crossed knee and a pen in between her fingers. Eun Ah could see the woman's foundation caked between the folds in her skin and the lipstick that was perfectly applied.
