As I sit in my small room in the countryside of South Korea, I can't help but feel a sense of despair wash over me. I had high hopes for my future when I accepted the job offer from the startup company in the publication industry. But now, three years later, the company has shut down and I find myself unemployed.
I had always been a hard worker, determined to make a name for myself in the business world. I had dreams of climbing the corporate ladder and achieving great success. But now, all those dreams seem to be slipping away from me.
My family has been supportive, but I can see the worry in their eyes. They had high hopes for me too, especially after I completed my MBA from Seoul University. They had expected me to bring honor and success to our family name. But now, I feel like I have let them down.
I spend my days sending out job applications, hoping for a new opportunity to come my way. But as the rejections pile up, I can't help but feel like I am stuck in a never-ending cycle of disappointment.
As if my unemployment wasn't enough, I have also been plagued by misfortunes in my love life. It seems like a curse has followed me since birth, causing heartbreak after heartbreak.
I had always been a romantic at heart, believing in true love and soulmates. But my experiences with love have been anything but romantic. Both of my engagements ended in betrayal and heartache, leaving me feeling broken and lost.
My first ex-fiancée cheated on me with my best friend, shattering my trust in both of them. And my second ex-fiancé turned out to be a manipulative and abusive person, using me for his own gain.
I had hoped that my true love was out there, waiting for me to find them. But now, I can't help but wonder if I am destined to be alone forever. The pain of betrayal and heartbreak weighs heavy on my heart, making it hard to believe in love anymore.
As I sit in the darkness of my room, I am han-jua and can't help but feel lost and hopeless. The jinx that seems to have been inflicted upon my life has left me feeling like there is no light at the end of the tunnel.
I don't know where my life is going, or if I will ever find happiness again. The road ahead seems dark and uncertain, filled with obstacles and challenges that I am not sure I can overcome.
