15 Collection Bonus: A Sweet Momen (1/2)

*This was during the time when Suyin was captured by Wansun studying about medicine. During this event, Areum was seeking for a job to provide for the both of them*

”I'm looking for a job to do. Do you guys, by chance, have someone who needs work?” Areum asked the owner of the inn. He crossed his arms, shaking his head.

”Ah, I'm sorry but... we have enough workers here already.”

”Please. I'm in need of income! I'm willing to wash dishes even for little pay!” Areum urged the owner of the shop. Everywhere she went, it appeared that they weren't hiring any workers, so it made Areum desperate to find something to do to help Suyin. She wanted to be at least useful to her.

”I'm sorry, Miss. You will have to find somewhere else that is accepting workers at the moment.” The shop-keeper excused himself and then went back to do take care of his customer's needs.

”I-hic-got a job-hic-for you.” A drunk man stood up, staggering towards Areum as he slammed the jar of wine to the front counter. The shop keeper didn't care since the man had money. As long as he doesn't mess up the place, it wasn't a big deal to the owner.

”Mind your own business!” Areum hissed at the man, sickened by the stench of alcohol in his breath and body. The man scowled at Areum, barely able to point the jar of wine to her.

”You think that you're some kind of woman who even has a reputation?! Just come be my concubine and you will live forever in pleasure.” He insulted, laughing like a madman.

Areum grew impatient with the man. What would Suyin do in situations like this? She wasn't as bold as Suyin but held a strong passion for her freedom just like her. She seized the jar of wine and kept it over the top of her head, holding it with both of her hands. She wanted to launch it at him and when she did, she failed and missed her shot, miserably.

The man was now furious but couldn't keep his sense of balance. ”You--You try to go at me, you damn nobody!”

*WHACK!*
