After dreaming about getting money, an office worker receives money from her younger brother on payday and finds herself caught between happiness and guilt.
On payday morning, Jiyeon receives money from her younger brother. When she tells him she dreamed about getting money the night before, he laughs and says he wanted to chip in this time. Jiyeon says thank you, then adds that she feels bad. In the counseling room, she and Golden Child revisit the dream. The money her brother gave her is still there, and Jiyeon still hasn’t decided what to say next.
When receiving help leaves you feeling guilty
When someone helps you, you can feel grateful and burdened at the same time.
When did someone help you recently?
The moment when it’s hard to simply say thank you after seeing the money her brother sent stays with me. I think alongside the joy of receiving it, Jiyeon may also have wondered whether she was putting another burden on her brother. If you’ve ever struggled to find words after someone gave you something, you’re welcome to share that moment too.
