Black pumps emitted muffled clacks against the complex’s carpet flooring in the hallway, each confident step leading the mortician closer and closer to a door marked with a metal ‘206′. She was meant to knock, as was expected when visiting another, however she lifted the palm of her hand to press against the closed entry. Her ear followed suit of her hand, listening for any signs of more than one guest on the other side. The silence was eerie, heavy, even to her where she stood. Yejin ran her tongue over her lower lip, body almost vibrating with the anticipation she felt. The energy of the moment, knowing the special case her customer was, it was what propelled her to finally enter.
With the spare room key she had been given, the mortician opened the door just wide enough to allow for her tall, slender body to slide through. A metal click of the door shutting behind her was the first sign of her arrival. The floor beneath her feet had changed to wood, prompting the woman to remove the rather loud shoes she had boldly decided to wear for a house call. One hand set the pair of heels down quietly to the side of the entrance in the dark and quiet apartment, her steps now softer, lighter than before as she eased her way further inside.
“Tae?,” a deceivingly demure voice called out to him, the flick of a switch illuminating the room she found him and his work within.
