The room was dark, silent but for the faint hum of an old fluorescent bulb. Its light wavered on and off, casting jittery shadows across stacks of papers and forgotten boxes. Each flicker felt like a cruel tease in the suffocating darkness.
Han Jae Mi stood there, arms folded, her eyes narrowed at the bulb as it buzzed uncertainly. Her head throbbed with exhaustion and frustration. She had already had a long day; the last thing she needed was this stupid light playing tricks on her.
She let out a shaky sigh, trying to calm herself, but the bulb sputtered again—once, twice, like it was mocking her. Something inside her snapped.
"You bastard!" she shouted into the empty room, her voice sharp and hoarse. "Fluctuate again and I will shoot you with my gun!" Her words echoed off the walls, mixing with the hum of electricity.
She reached for the holster at her hip, fingers brushing cold metal, eyes locked on the ceiling like a gunslinger facing down an enemy. The bulb steadied for a heartbeat, the room frozen in a tense stand-off between a furious woman and a trembling light.
Han Jae Mi's glare softened only slightly. Her heart still pounded, anger simmering just beneath the surface. She took a slow, deep breath, willing herself to focus—there was work to be done, and she wouldn't let a pathetic lightbulb break her.
The room was dark except for a flickering fluorescent bulb that cast shaky shadows across the walls. Each stutter of light grated on Han Jae Mi's nerves, already frayed from a long day.
She glared up at the bulb, jaw clenched. The light flickered again, almost mockingly.
"You bastard!" she snapped, her voice sharp in the silence. "Fluctuate one more time, and I'll shoot you with my gun!"
Her hand hovered near her holstered weapon as the room fell into tense stillness. The bulb steadied, as if cowed by her threat, and Han Jae Mi exhaled slowly, forcing herself to focus on the task ahead.
Han Jae Mi, 27 years old and standing at 5'3", was a Senior Inspector in the South Korean police force. Tonight, she found herself staring up in disbelief at the flickering lights of yet another run-down station.
"Why do these police stations always have the most pathetic light systems?" she muttered, her voice sharp with frustration as the bulb overhead blinked erratically.
She paced the room, her annoyance bubbling over. How are we supposed to remember the faces of the bastards we lock up with lighting like this? she thought bitterly. The shadows made everyone look the same, blurring features she needed to memorize.
She stopped and looked up again, a sarcastic smile tugging at her lips. "This is the 4K quality I deserve," she said to herself, voice dripping with irony. She shook her head, exasperated, as the light continued its mocking dance above her
The room was cloaked in darkness, broken only by the flickering light of a tired fluorescent bulb that buzzed with every irregular pulse. Shadows danced erratically across the walls, as though the darkness itself was alive and restless.
Han Jae Mi stood in the middle of the room, eyes fixed on the unsteady bulb overhead. The relentless fluctuation grated on her already frayed nerves. She clenched her jaw, her patience wearing thin with each maddening flicker.
A final, sharp stutter of the light sent her over the edge.
"You bastard!" she screamed into the empty room, her voice ricocheting off the cold walls. "Fluctuate again, and I swear I'll shoot you with my gun!" Her hand hovered near her side, where her weapon rested, ready to make good on her threat.
The bulb, as if it understood the danger, steadied for a moment. The room fell into an uneasy stillness. Han Jae Mi's eyes, fierce and determined, shone under the pale glow, a silent warning to the wavering light above.

Here's your second chatstory converted into a concise novel-style passage with a human, narrative touch:
Chapter 1 (continued)
Han Jae Mi, 27 years old and standing at 5'3", was a Senior Inspector in the South Korean police force. Tonight, she found herself staring up in disbelief at the flickering lights of yet another run-down station.
"Why do these police stations always have the most pathetic light systems?" she muttered, her voice sharp with frustration as the bulb overhead blinked erratically.
She paced the room, her annoyance bubbling over. How are we supposed to remember the faces of the bastards we lock up with lighting like this? she thought bitterly. The shadows made everyone look the same, blurring features she needed to memorize.
She stopped and looked up again, a sarcastic smile tugging at her lips. "This is the 4K quality I deserve," she said to herself, voice dripping with irony. She shook her head, exasperated, as the light continued its mocking dance above her.
"Please… at least let me finish the novel," Han Jae Mi whispered, her voice trembling with desperation. She clutched the worn book to her chest as if it were her last lifeline. "I want to read the ending," she added softly, eyes fluttering closed.
Memories flooded her mind as she stood still, remembering every word, every twist of the story she'd left unfinished.
Meanwhile, far away, Vera Morozova stood with a gun clenched tightly in her hands, her knuckles white. Her eyes were wide with fear but burned with determination. She shouted into the freezing night air, breath clouding in the cold, "Don't come here, Ivan!" Her voice cracked as snowflakes drifted around her like silent witnesses to the standoff.
The air in the dimly lit room was thick with tension, a suffocating silence hanging between them. Vera Morozova, a woman of twenty-three, stood perfectly still, her hand steady on the cold steel pressed against his temple. Her profile, framed by dark, cascading hair, was a study in cold determination.
Ivan Dimitri, the man before her, met her gaze with an unnerving calm. A faint smile played on his lips, a stark contrast to the dark crimson staining his white collar—a memory of some earlier, forgotten conflict. "So now you're holding a gun against me," he said, his voice a soft, velvet hum that did nothing to soften the edge of the moment. "Weren't we getting married tomorrow?"
His question hung in the air, a ghost of a future that had now been violently snuffed out. The irony was a bitter taste in his mouth. He had known her as Vera Morozova, a woman who had completed her studies, a woman he had come to love. He had known her as the daughter of a powerful mafia boss, a fact he'd accepted, even embraced. But he hadn't known this Vera, the one with a gun in her hand and a hatred for his world burning in her eyes. Her nationality was Russian, a detail that now felt like a cruel joke, a shared heritage that was meant to bind them, not tear them apart. He waited, his breath held, for her to make her choice. The world, for them, had shrunk to this single, terrible moment, balanced on the precipice of a trigger's pull.
A chilling silence fell between them. Vera stared at Ivan, the gun still pointed at him. Ivan Dimitri, at thirty years old, stood six feet tall, a mafia man through and through, with a gold jacket slung over his shoulders. His Russian heritage was a part of him, as was his love for Vera. But now, that love seemed to mean nothing.
"Married?" Vera's voice was a low whisper, filled with disgust. "To a man with the blood of hundreds of innocent people on his hands?"
