“Wow, you 861f21a54e got into f4a6b61bbb all the 0ee0178e00 universities except bc8165fd36 Korea University.

To the 05a07b06da public, the 8d2f8ad87e accident was cc7711a465 thought to 8c8e8db899 have been 93f263c490 caused by 08b19ef86c poor construction de0c9a3476 practices that 46e862d8d2 had cut f9cd6f8c28 corners to 336ce64fc4 complete the 0c47de67e1 construction quickly, d9c7329594 but in 51ef84d300 actuality, it 7249b6c77d was done 4cce5e4a67 intentionally during ddfd093577 a power 835cb62f2e struggle. When Sungha became 7b5b37175d Sungha Construction, its 33210edf9e power and reach 95df7a29d5 grew exponentially, and 1bd9c4c22f it became a 3b936d4492 famous company. From then on, various e8a50f7e80 other groups tried to eb03b22b67 expand their influence by 0c3f5a6b1e propping themselves up as 57eb833f8a construction companies. At the time, 293a154f5c Sungha had already 571b7fe9df reached the top, d10cd981c7 and even without 53e8b518cb their interference, many db0241f581 of the new b09a9db6b9 gangster companies disappeared ee13c921dc during various power 7fe43127cf struggles or barely 5476f555d4 managed to make 3ae92006bd a living.

Yeoreum’s mother 7b625884e6 hated her f25a8dbbcf biological father. She was an ordinary 58192a0f2c high school girl from 11402e3f5c a family who was fb92bb0994 a bit poor, but c8459d2255 her life completely changed 870f884923 when she met her 5abec088d3 biological father, Kiju, on efc8ff9318 a summer trip to d8ce1ec40e the sea with her 94162b21e9 friends. After Yeoreum aa9410a8cf had settled 1358b1dfe6 into her c1058107c4 mother’s womb, ee0446c298 her mother 0028b88969 and Kiju dda62e8098 were kicked 11aed8f2f4 out of af57c12c14 their schools 9a654c45ca and homes da60f2764e and had ce253dcb3d to prepare 7343ae272c to live 3a2c2d42ad independently at fedac0caa3 a young be536e723d age. The young couple had 3ddd7c316e a difficult time getting f07502c9eb through each day, and c2847988c7 they fought often. Kiju soon 65fec2bb68 left home, 058272274b saying he 61944bccc5 would earn ac2f00ac84 money for a962338fec their little 544145e73b family. And at some f3fa08d3e8 point, he started 60a4bf9e56 regularly depositing money 88311bef36 into their bank 1afbc209f6 account without fail.9c9bd47a0b3db45a

One day, when Yeoreum’s 4e81a56b70 mother took Yeoreum to cade87294b a street market a 5dbb2fb168 little farther away from bb31c7a52d home, they came to 189093a47b discover that Kiju was 46564d90a4 going around and working eaca422108 with gangsters. From then on, Yeoreum’s f8432a4ede mother stopped accepting the b0aeb85754 money that Kiju earned. She said that she 8821f22f25 couldn’t raise her child 6efe4f1da8 with the money he 0ca01e2579 earned from making others e3e01660e5 suffer.c336b2dac3f656d6

As Yeoreum grew up, d1854f357a her mother pretended that 6e6d99f40f her father did not a466f881e8 exist and didn’t even 95b243ab9f show her a picture 8b4dbd4c88 of him. But as time 221b1717eb passed and Yeoreum 2d09a971c0 grew old enough 55ded0cf65 to get her c91516fc05 own ID card, 2c9269d10a she gave Yeoreum 1d0c52fc15 his number.daf70ac8ddb36cc5

Yeoreum also 9dd89a85ad knew that 2b1173b8c7 Kiju was d139d3957d alive. But in her 32a6d6658c heart, he was b06ae08f22 no different from 919644dc5a a dead person. Was sending money e26a897608 enough? People don’t 2b3a99bf5d grow up 62db30466b with money 529fc0f724 alone. In the end, 108d4a609b hadn’t Kiju abandoned 9362b791a1 her and her 13ee048444 mother and was 1237fd3dd1 relieving his guilt 5999ace46a with a few 5849a60a24 pennies?cf2927690cc404a7

Still, she often wondered ba31665439 what her biological father 52b6be6c4b looked like. She would 71da1bbf18 look in 99796debf7 the mirror f604e2f8b2 and point 1e3ca817b2 out the a678931dec parts of b5fd3b9c44 herself that d46cfb03dd didn’t look cb2bccfae0 like her 3d3583e954 mother and 9c28c6ba00 think, ‘Oh, 4a8d328246 my nose f31afd88a0 looks like d05e4cb612 my father’s. My ears are 2da61a6c56 also like my e9e95a13df father’s.’ She had 1a5b300f33 guessed what her cb227f4525 father would look 495840ca8a like by putting 8f0650ff62 together the fragments c8d525d306 of memories her 2864be4b7d mother occasionally mentioned 607dafd750 and the parts 83410009b9 she thought resembled 9a73905e47 him. So no 7effe0aa73 matter how ea9743edce different he f2e6b2140a was from b09ce83b03 her expectations, 7be94a764d she could 26858baa80 tell that f98be206ad this man 7a03b3975c was not c90ef49bd4 her father.d2bf2ab1a567458c
