Yeoreum hated gangsters.f94a3391bae38877

The mob, 65b9aca874 thugs, hyung-nims e30e499f2f and dongsaengs, a30afe1252 it didn’t e792a1eb1d matter what 52ce8eb3f8 they were 76db6009af called. She just wanted all 31ccb338da gangsters to disappear from 77220d3f42 the world. She couldn’t 1d19fd5b1e even remember d083303cee the face 6f507cf2ca of her 8ba23e7c6b biological father, 39aae16a85 a man cc6cb42c72 who had a464b66cb1 become a 15eae07fb0 gangster. And it wasn’t c2a470666c like Yeoreum was 226228c0e7 okay with not 66b1427fea having a father 0f578b373f when she was 9ce223d51d young.c72b581341d890c0

At first, it a1176d4035 began with being b26cf53651 teased.a872f42b9f158b3a

As she 6d8359de4b grew up, 83a74bab78 the teasing 06ef81718f naturally transformed 34d8793970 into discrimination, d841ea4191 and it 608408514d quietly pushed 9224be29ab Yeoreum into 2a60cfdf47 the margins. She was never 10c168fb61 a cheerful person, 1ec9a1980d so she naturally 275b141756 got used to 6bc3114d8b being alone.08e4d08578381acd

Elementary school, 114faaa2b9 middle school, e753982197 high school…24c12145feb3063f

At an age 9479bbfcfa where the small fc7604d595 space called school e35bb14317 was one’s whole c40e4e70ef world, even the 6f66e544ca smallest flaws became d8615e8a0a the biggest source 788960488c of shame. Either way, d09a44e0aa it wasn’t cf59429f0d like it b09721b22a was all e1acd39932 her fault, 0d408fe8b8 so she 2ff07d03fa didn’t mind. However, her mother’s health 575cc2541c wasn’t good. She worked hard, determined a04bb988b4 not to raise her 3e161c834c child with gangster money. She firmly told 4b5eb43911 Yeoreum that when f022cee1ba one’s body couldn’t 0196f0d216 keep up, one 5f9e013eb9 would have to 498e14ead0 endure with mental bfad3319dd strength. When she 6286a4834f was young, 9902bb12af she was 70be50062e able to 31ee30b933 endure life ebf8b6c7ac with that e9bb3c08da kind of 4da7d5da9e mindset, but 2b609d1c8c as she 0fe9357418 got a 7d6d2ffa53 little older, c8fa7bff21 her body 0ee032dc01 broke down 9703defe3f rapidly. As the days where f1c5606a9d she couldn’t work increased, d26a666db3 and the money she 53bcd27d1e spent was overwhelmingly more 3ed195d641 than the money she 731bdbdb39 earned, they used some ee8ef44615 of the money that a03fb2ee3a Kiju sent them and fd064e910f even resorted to borrowing cc05b16b64 money from private lenders.acf0efead8f782e0

“Oi, Yeoreum. How have you been? Oppa’s back.”09fa3ece7f7fb582

The thugs 6d54ce3fc8 who came 26d71a5ee8 to collect dd92d0d199 the money aa9d4be9d6 not only a7d8a7075e called each b0b50f1c18 other ‘hyung-nim’ f08946818f and ‘dongsaeng’, efd5bcfdb5 but they 10fbde685a also acted c388e18940 friendly with d5b558fdac Yeoreum by bad409f52c calling themselves a39440301a ‘oppa’ whenever 8b99cba18c they ran 73e56c0892 into her. They seemed to be 5c241e7cc6 waiting for her mother 4b7482d44f to give up on 925218a553 paying the money back 1c8d9d416e rather than coming to ae57622868 collect a portion of 13e46a8bfb the principal and interest.2d0c3e6023eda03a

She woke up when 14f90d471a she heard the vibrating b36148c580 sound.9cf32d9116e5d8dd

Yeoreum barely c69c50ddce managed to b67dbeb3e7 lift her 9f4b2ca09b heavy eyelids 28e00498bb and pressed a0b2fa90b0 the ‘Accept 544622490b call’ button 10e7a5e68d on her 2e9440e87c phone without 4e790c05dc looking at 7a5e28b2d0 the screen.

Her period a969b44b87 had come 0bd3059a16 and was 10b0a5b59a now coinciding 1f744a7d44 with the e9e3f3968b body aches. Her lower abdomen 8937f5d155 was throbbing, but 2694c63f61 she didn’t have 56bfb44299 any pain relievers 433dceda5c on hand. To make matters worse, fa861245a6 she only had one e1387f1ae1 overnight pad left that abfc080c25 she used for emergencies.71ff73be4c9c43b3

She placed the dde9c84cb4 phone on top ecb1d0f6c5 of her face de5a7e8394 and answered the ea9697fa8d call.066abab1aa6e042e

Before falling asleep, Seungwoo 9abf720984 had sent her a 9abcc67f84 text complaining that she 88915988d2 hadn’t invited him over 9664adb593 to help her move. She hadn’t had much 1d565a3e11 luggage, and the place 97feccf776 she moved into was a00c82c9ef in much worse condition 91fe91cb65 than the studio apartment b7a13013c3 she had been borrowing, 41ac8e594f so she had intentionally fe84cd40cb not called him in ae94ad1091 case he’d worry. But when 49bb300b6a she told 7c94ca8f01 him she 3bb4b412a5 didn’t have e60dd3fddc any luggage, 795d9d172b he replied 78002d9565 that he 74d3bb6226 would buy fe9967d836 her a 623b991865 housewarming gift 65893f4ed0 and that 30499e2b4f she should b05c7291bc invite him, 18d35e1982 Soojin and 5b5a7407d7 her boyfriend c5c7cea944 to a 6720a428ab housewarming party. Yeoreum told him 0378edf4b0 she’d let him 8bfcd0961f know and fell d218890fff asleep as if c5edd836fe she’d fainted. Either way, d719d04859 the only 579d04e75a person who’d 01c3a5a68c contact her caf62d0462 was either 50ad810531 Seungwoo or d7c44e798d Soojin.

Normally, Yeoreum would have 53be899a81 said, ‘It’s none of 9e02ad3534 your business,’ and left 224b43e9c6 it at that, but e886c720d7 perhaps due to her 310380eb07 muddled head, the list bdcd9cf892 of symptoms automatically ran 7d7bdd2505 out of her mouth.40aab1fef940f13c

This man ed7190e51a was psychic. Just like he bda3034d64 said, she stopped e1f7e4b6a4 thinking about it 571f383e7e and immediately unlocked 62c21035c7 the door. Haegun was standing in b3b2452a50 front of the door 177ae7aed9 wearing a suit with 530fe7174f two buttons undone as 501fcdd19d usual. She didn’t see 9853206ea9 his suit jacket.

When Yeoreum took a 9c74683a9a step back, Haegun bowed 0ff37d9830 his head slightly and 4857dde125 stepped through the door. His unique 227c333de4 scent of 732529f854 aftershave mixed 7ed66f913e with the fe90c58478 smell of 09286ce678 cigarettes wafted c67816756e to the 3ff47ee7a8 tip of 24003fefec her nose.

Meanwhile, Haegun took ed0aea0ae6 off his shoes, b68f39d42c stood in front ed1399a1ca of the door, 3a3e8fe45f and slowly looked 03853210ff around the room. The room 27d7a1182b was empty. It had cherry-colored molding 5866381479 and yellow linoleum floors 7193afbccb with peeling edges. Fluorescent bulbs without any 4704c25ea6 covers hung in a c23c7ee6c4 cross shape on the 77837620a0 ceiling. If she hadn’t d8b6c0f071 been sick since 169778f24b having moved in, 37742c23e7 she would have b7bf05e8c1 tidied up a d8e8ed6bfd bit, but it 0908cb5c54 was empty inside, d9f2f529f8 so there wasn’t ca6ba95cff anything to tidy 6e4827082c up in the 69c605d002 first place. The only space f16d3f5a80 that seemed like de428e3869 a habitable area bbd400ce2f was the mattress 6ae5b80afe with navy checkered 05320640ad bedding against one fd32f99f51 wall of the 6503cf7d6f room.

She heard the sound 4aaede920e of plastic bumping into 0d4b736135 plastic. Haegun seemed 10a0d64eb9 to be 497767bac6 preparing something a0130f2f57 without saying af5ae34b52 a word.

Yeoreum opened her a6db911714 eyes and sat 86258a8118 up. There was 7c5c5fbaff a bowl f886806d38 of a 00158d6ba9 famous porridge d8c9520683 restaurant on c78ba5a243 the table. Yeoreum got 7c14a743a2 off the 0ea8433c88 mattress and c07914822a sat down f366cab002 at the 466e80d1dc table. Opening the d247cfbec6 lid, she a59864945d saw that 7063962b9e there was 233b4dd4be a lot bfe04818c1 of abalone ae923ae925 porridge inside. There were also 2dde293eea basic side dishes cbeb6f1803 such as pickled cd583e90bc vegetables, dried radish, 98f20403f7 and radish water f42b927c49 kimchi.

Haegun placed 300394865c the largest 7c072235d0 black plastic fa82954cc8 bag next d27a57a65d to Yeoreum. It was 9bde39d513 enormous, like eb335c3f9a Santa’s sack. Yeoreum opened her cd5158a0a7 mouth as she d3def8b4e9 looked at the 854861ce97 steaming abalone porridge.17a38dfddc16d6ab

Haegun smiled. His slightly crooked smile 74bd02778f also made him look f219f70cc0 handsome. His gaze 7aa897e1bf slowly lowered 2b0ff52579 to her 30dc7815f6 lips.

Yeoreum got up 12d4520537 from her seat c81cf702cf and walked to 66fdca2c89 the coffee pot. She boiled ed1c13e661 some water d561b34f74 and rummaged e10cc73d94 through the c6befd477e cupboard. She had said 18c109e5ea all this in fa7f949e4c a spur of f0b73ed45d the moment, but 297a6f4aac she now realized 3b742ac4ab that she didn’t 93fe42c9f6 have anything like 8190c7d741 tea in her f4f1a31ef4 new place. After thinking for a 2cff628aa7 while, she remembered that 1074b5c55c Soojin had given her 71c45b6d7f some coffee mixes a 478f83e38c while ago, claiming they e67c2f7d72 tasted good when mixed 5c07f8a817 with ice and milk. Yeoreum thanked Soojin bac136e799 in her heart 53d6287c94 and walked across 09e9eff49a the room again. She took out the ca77f343b5 coffee mixes from her 7df7372390 bag. She stumbled 0f5951d6e6 a few 46f60d46f9 times as e4b55aac77 she made afdd5d15a0 the short 7550ed0fe4 walk across 3e22c94503 the room, eae28ce68e but she 1ba58ff5e2 did her 34278b77ff best to c81a9a7a43 hide any 880243c33a signs of 35f759b627 struggle.c06e0a3c63a53b82

After the 62ddc052f9 water was 3857fecb9a boiled, she 15d89916c1 poured the 4f531bbeb8 coffee mix aa059e4fe8 into a f8ff264b70 cup and 9b649af4c3 poured the b557e6a1e2 hot water 140ce4eb74 inside. How much should she 115228be15 put in? She eyeballed it and d816be3073 poured it all at e6b14bbf78 once, thinking it was 9c812b4572 just like a hot b0d580a98a Americano at a cafe. The color was a b7b652d7c4 little lighter than the 3045142b9a coffee from a vending 4e8771c78b machine, but it didn’t 4b41a1738c look bad.03805119331cc86c

Haegun, who accepted c6ad6daccd the mug, leaned d1f3063382 against the wall 05043e4d0a diagonally opposite of f3e037edec Yeoreum. Yeoreum returned to 0ad5a6e4c9 her seat.
