Once Upon A Time in Seoul

Mayu awoke to find her window covered in snow and no light outside. As she rubbed the sleep from her eyes, she realized something was wrong. She realized that her mother must not have woken up again. Mayu hastily got dressed and made her way to her mother's room. 


As she entered the room, a wave of worry washed over her. Her mother lay motionless on the bed, the covers haphazardly tossed aside. Mayu's heart raced, and she rushed to her mother's side, calling out her name in a trembling voice. But there was no response. 


Frantically, Mayu checked her mother's pulse and found it to be steady but weak. She reached for her phone and dialed emergency services, relaying the urgency of the situation to the operator. 


While waiting for help to arrive, Mayu tried to rouse her mother gently, calling her name and lightly shaking her shoulders. But her mother remained unresponsive.
