【5/7】

Chaewon, in a beautiful gray dress representing her country and her mind, was sitting at her dinner table. Her mother hadn't said a word yet, but she had passed a very important test on poisoning. She had spent months preparing and being able to figure out if a substance was poisoned or not.

Her mother just sat there, along with her fathers empty seat.

Sometimes she had to just accept that her mother didn't care. It was a hard thing to think, but it was the pure truth in the form of a taste on her tongue. 

Being that, she excused herself from her mothers pity table.

She went to rest in her chambers, only to see that a bird had somehow got in her room. 

*

Chaewon collapsed on her bed, exhaust heavy in her body. The maids and chased the bird out of her room, and then had to clean up the feathers that had fallen off of its body. 

Boring days.

She missed having someone to talk to, or yell. 

She regretted being so mean to her personal maid. 

She didn't know why she chose to be so hurtful and find joy in screaming and bossing her around. Making her cry made her feel even worse.
