In My Desperate Time

Frances Louis would do what he said. Since he told me not to take the medicine, he would certainly throw it away if I bought the medicine back.

But if no protection, things would be complicated if I got pregnant.

I look at Frances Louis. He doesn’t seem to notice me. Anyway, I'll buy condoms in case of need.

Shelves are filled with a variety of condoms, different tastes and sizes. I've never bought this before, so I'm stunned.

Which one should I buy?

“Honey, how about the minty?”

Suddenly, a couple comes here and begin to select the condom.

Seeing me standing here by myself hesitating for so long, they look in my direction from time to time.

I feel so embarrassed that I go away and pretend to be just passing by.

After a long time of selecting, the couple finally picks up one box and leave the shelf.

I go back, to avoid being watched again, looking up and down for a moment and reaching for the nearest one.

“I need a bigger size.”

Suddenly, Frances Louis’s sound comes from behind.

I am scared and drop the box on the ground.
