For every extra 1000 views on the book below on Wattpad (it’s free to read) , I will release one extra chapter of “Miss Kang’s Honey Milk”.

Please spread the word to anyone you think will enjoy the story.

A.M.

The moment Eunseo woke up, she reached for her breast pump as usual. Just moving her arm was enough to cause an ache because her breasts have become much heavier overnight.

She pulled down her bra and placed the funnel on her nipple. When she pushed the button, the machine began working by pumping loudly. At first, only the sounds of air coming out could be heard, but after a few pumps, the white liquid began spewing out.

Eunseo stared at the milk that was being collected with a blank face. People considered breastmilk to be precious, the golden liquid to sustain babies, but to her, it was nothing more than bodily fluid.

She wasn’t a mother, so it was meaningless to have so much of this milky solution.

The bottle was becoming pretty heavy when the door to her room burst open. Eunseo pulled up her shirt to cover herself and yelled sharply, “Can’t you knock?”

Even if it was her family, she didn’t feel comfortable showing them pumping her own breast. She felt embarrassed, and this was especially the case because her “family” wasn’t her real family.

It was her step-sister who walked into her room unannounced.

“Like I care,” Seyeon muttered and walked to Eunseo’s bed. Without permission, she began rummaging through the boxes.

“Didn’t I leave my hair curler here?” Seyeon asked.

“How should I know?”

After taking her time going through the boxes, Seyeon finally found her hair curler. She smiled in satisfaction and announced, “I found it.”

Eunseo’s tiny room was filled with boxes of summer clothes, unused blankets, fans, and everything else that was out of season. Her room was basically being used as storage. All that belonged to her was a single bed and a small closet. She didn’t even have her own vanity, so she had to hold a small mirror whenever she did her makeup.

But Eunseo’s stepmother and stepsister didn’t care about her comfort. They continued to store things they didn’t need in Eunseo’s room.

Eunseo wondered that perhaps she was just like these things. A burden to her “family” and nothing more.

Something they definitely didn’t want.

“Do you have any pretty lipstick? Let me borrow it,” Seyeon demanded. The fact that she was being dolled up so early in the morning had to mean that she got a new boyfriend. Seyeon got a new boyfriend every month, so this wasn’t unusual. But she was making much more effort than she usually did, and Eunseo guessed that her stepsister got a pretty good man this time.

Eunseo replied, “What do you think? Do you really think I have a nice lipstick?”

“Yeah, you’re right. That was stupid of me.” Seyeon smirked. Without even cleaning up after the mass she made, she was about to leave when she began staring at the breast pump.

Seyeon murmured, “Gosh, there is so much of it. It’s not like you have a baby to feed, so I just don’t understand.”

Seyeon sounded disgusted. Eunseo gritted her teeth to control her anger. She ordered, “Please just leave.”

Her breasts got so full by the morning that she always needed to pump for about 30 minutes. But last night, she cried so much that her body must have been dehydrated. It only took her 20 minutes this morning to empty her breasts.

Feeling much lighter, Eunseo quickly washed up. As usual, she didn’t bother with much makeup before leaving for work.

“I’m going to work now,” Eunseo announced. Her stepmother and Seyeon were eating breakfast, and they didn’t even bother looking at her let alone offer her anything. But before Eunseo walked out, her stepmother demanded, “About your next month’s living expense. I need some extra money, so make sure to send it to me a few days earlier.”

This was not a request. It was clearly an order.

Without even looking back, Eunseo replied, “I’ll wire it to you later today.”

The day was getting colder. Her cheap shoes were so hard and uncomfortable that they hurt the edges of her toes whenever she took a step. As she headed toward the bus stop, Eunseo opened the app she checked out every day.

It was her mobile bank app.

The same amount of money she checked yesterday still remained in her account.

$ 4821.30.

Ignoring the $20000.00 loan below it, she mumbled, “I just need to save another 5000 dollars…”
