The king looked around after he woke up from the dream

He was in an extravagant golden bed rooh priests were praying for his well-being

“Your majesty You drea to deceive you Please resist against it”

The king suddenly had a thought

Was the slave having a drea about beco a slave?

Which one was the dream, and which one was the reality?

“Mr Hahn-suhjin What did the hospital say?”

He stood in line with his work clothes on, and his fellow e

“I’ll knohen the result comes out”

“Don’t worry too much about it It’ll all turn out well There are a lot of , so it probably isn’t cancer”

His 40 year old companion spoke to dispel his worries, but Hahn-suhjin couldn’t agree with his sentiment

He thought about the eyes of his doctor, who had a sickly complexion

「Main once the result from the biopsy come out」

He felt an o, so he tried to ask severalthe final result to the test hadn’t come out yet

Hahn-suhjin was busily working on the assembly line when he stopped to look down at his chest The doctor’s expression wouldn’t leave his thoughts He felt a pain in his chest that was more painful than usual

‘What if it really is cancer?’

Even thinking about it loomy

His household was poor, and his parents divorced when he was young His sister and hi on the welfare his mother received

As soon as he graduated high school, he was hired to work the asse three shi+fts, and he had ht not be e sum of money

However, last year his mother withdrew all of the money he had saved, and she had dropped off the map She had run aith a man she met at a restaurant

‘Idiot Why would you give all your salary to mother? You should have taken care of your own money’

When he re him, he felt sorry for her His heart hurt more from the fact that histhe money

His ot rid of her number, and she completely severed all contact He didn’t knohere she lived, and he had no idea if she was alive or not

Hahn-shuhjin glared at the assembly line as he observed it

Nu down the conveyor belt The ened spots, and they were busy with theprocess within their area of responsibility He was one of them

It was time to work

For a brief time, he had to put away his resentment for his mother, and the worry about his disease

“Get up Lunch is over”

Hahn-suhjin opened his eyes when someone tapped him from the side

“Mr Hahn-suhjin Recently, you sleep at every chance you get Now that I think about it you lost a lot of weight Is soo to the hospital?”

Hahn-suhjin let out an aard laugh at his fellow employee’s worry He didn’t know Suhjin had already went to the hospital, and he was being checked for cancer

“I guess so Recently, o of my mind for a brief moment, sleep pours over me”

“You are suffering fro some stuff like vitamins Don’t you know you have to take care of your body ?”

“Thank you”

“Let’s head in”

Hahn-suhjin slowly stood up The sun light made his head pound The nap had been sweet like honey, but he didn’t feel refreshed Instead, a headache swept over him

‘This damn headache……’

Hahn-suhjin crinkled his eyes

Was this headache related to his cancer? They didn’t check for any tumors in his brain

After lunch ended, Hahn-suhjin was inserted back into the assened spot, and he proceeded to do his repetitive work

Many of his fellow employees felt pessimistic and bored by the simple and repetitive work However, Hahn-suhjin liked his work If he compared the current situation with his childhood marred with poverty, he felt blessed to be able to work and eat under his oer

‘The test result will be out tomorrow’
