She stood up, her steps quick and precise. 214. She picked up a broom and dustpan, sweeping the salon. 215. “Clean place… clean mind,” she mumbled to herself in Korean. 216.

Despite efforts, they never found the boy. 244. To her, her old life was an elusive shadow. 245. As time went on, she took a phone call for an appointment. 246. “내일 몇 시에요?” the customer asked. 247. Broken English made it difficult: “Salon open… ten o’clock.” 248. The customer continued, “I need hair cut.” 249. She replied, “Okay… hair cut… ten… appointment.” 250. Shortly, the customer arrived. 251. Contrary to the calm Mrs. Choi, the customer was exceedingly rude. 252.

She remained professional despite the rude remarks. 255. “Please, sit down for hair cut,” she said, trying her best with her broken English. 256.

The cut was precise, despite the customer’s continuous complaints. 265. As the cut finished, Mrs. Choi turned the chair. 266. “All finished,” she said calmly. 267. The customer continued to glower but stood to leave. 268. Despite the rudeness, Mrs. Choi felt a swell of pride in her work. 269. She had handled the situation with grace and skill. 270. The customer paid quickly, leaving the salon in a huff. 271. After the customer left, Mrs. Choi cleaned the station meticulously. 272.
