Chapter 1: B is for Bath, bzzt and baby

"I am home.." I said out loud to myself as I entered my house, and fumbled in the dark to turn on the doorway lights. I don't want to do anything but just lay down, so as per my routine I headed to the bath straight and drew a hot bath. I dropped my special super fuzzy 🌈 bath bomb in then dove right after taking all my clothes off.

"Aah it feels so good and warm" I said out loud to myself in the empty house.

I needed this hot bath today, as always I had overtime but on the bright side atleast it's Friday! Which means I can stay in tub for hours and read my manhwa and webtoons all-night.

hmm~If only this moment of bliss lasted for~ever..

"brrrzz"

"huh what's that noise" I saw sparks in the water forming, the water is getting hotter and foaming up. Did I use a weird bath-bomb? or did I just stay in the bath for too long...

"let's just get out of here, I think I've soaked enough for today" I said while grabbing the phone with one hand and reaching for the bathtub handle with the other.

"oww, ugh " I have a cramp on my leg maybe I'm getting too old for baths, is that a thing? Is 27 even considered too old, all my friends are getting their PhD or getting married while I'm slaving away in my company without any social life.

"stop worrying about this Lee Jisso, let's just live our life as we please, eat some tasty pork belly that I bought today" I appeased myself and as I shook off negative thoughts and stepped out of the bath with my non-crampped leg.

-----brrrtttz~zaap-brrzzzzt-----

"oh my God, what was that!woah aaah" I screamed as the water in the tub shook violently bubbling and gushed over the top and spilled making me miss my footing.

~bam~thud- was the last sound I heard and white ceiling was the last thing I saw before I lost all vision and was engulfed in dark and a slow creeping warmth that wrapped around my body.

I don't want to move or get out of this warmth, it's been awhile since I really felt this relaxed and light.

Is this the end of my life, must be my last final moments before...wait, I hear a buzzing in the distance that going fainter by the second. Perhaps the ambulance is here to save me, I still can't see or feel anything. No that's not possible, I live alone and no one visits me. I got a soundproof flat because I like privacy so, no one could have known my fall.

sigh

It's not so bad going out like this, I won't have to hear my mother nag me about marriage or have my father push me to get promoted. Also my co-workers will finally have to pull their own weight around.

hah, yes that's the best outcome, having them do their part of the work for once. tch- too bad I can't be there to witness it. Maybe I'll turn into a ghost from having unfinished business, and haunt my colleagues muahhaha then I can see their worn-out faces!

"Hey, aww look my baby is smiling like an angel!" I heard a deep voice reverberate over me, as I felt my body being lifted.

Is that God? why would God call me baby? Who else could it be, it's definitely not my father he has never called me with any endearing names as such.
