I had to return the phone. There were kids in our class who didn’t have cell phones either. In Chowa-ri, every house has a landline; people whose radius of activity was so obvious didn’t carry around expensive cell phones. Therefore, if I, a student, had a cell phone, people would definitely find it strange. I couldn’t carry the phone around meticulously like a spy in a movie. Let’s return it.3cfee278a526a236

By the way, why hadn’t he contacted me, even though he gave me the phone? To return the favor of the broken bike with a cell phone. What was this…? Someone who said they don’t go to the hospital because they don’t have money had a cell phone?f5e4a6fceb1ce303

I thought I’d get it wrong, but I got it right. My mind was almost completely stolen by the cell phone, so I charged the battery, turned it off, and then, on a whim, turned it on again and put it in the drawer. I couldn’t concentrate because I was worried he might call.fe5d4232ffab1b01

Math Problem 7c338abfa9 19, Incorrect.037b9402a69d7aba
The pen, thrown in a moment of emotion, rolled across the test paper. I clutched my head and collapsed onto the desk. I’d gotten a problem wrong of a type I’d never missed before. Annoyance surged, and I opened the desk drawer. I picked up the cell phone lying there.c773d2932b829fdc

When I went into 449dc3c76a the contact list, there 3cbf245607 was only one name 0dc27dd9a4 saved.71660c642ffdb44b
[Kang Jang-mi]
“Kang Jang-mi?”934d933ee64412a3
Curiosity was piqued by the ridiculous name. It succeeded in drawing my gaze, which was sulking over getting Math Problem 19 wrong. As if by accident, I moved my thumb and called the man’s number.5fe8233396a3221a

Rrr, rrr, the ringing tone continued, and then, at some point, the world went silent. I carefully spoke to the world’s first rose (Jang-mi) with a mouth.efeaac158676038a

It’s a corny name, but it’s not an impossible name to have. Then, laughter came over from the other side. It was a voice too thick and low to be given the name Jang-mi (rose).9100c2b565529b75

The word came out slowly, as if he didn’t want to answer. The rose with a mouth even drinks now. A sigh escaped, but the man was about to hang up. He showed signs of disappearing into the gap where the words had stopped.edfea3c8bbf0cfd8

It wasn’t wisdom for life. I wished I had taught the man a wise lesson for life instead. I taught the man prejudice, social skills, and how to live shrewdly. As a result, the man’s life changed again. That meant I’ve grown bigger inside him. The man, completely drunk, made a sound as if he were collapsing. After that, there was a crash, the sound of glass breaking.1adcc95e245681c3

The man asked in a sleepy voice, a dying voice. I didn’t even have the strength to bite my lower lip. It wasn’t a matter of liking or disliking that the man was making me uneasy. The man had been abnormal from the first meeting. And I didn’t have the capacity to handle such a man. 3e159f83d857d335
No matter how composed I pretended to be. I was worried that someday I wouldn’t be able to cut him off. That I would get deeply involved with the man and not be able to get out at all. That the man would cross the line that had been drawn. In short, I was worried that the man and I would ruin my aunt and mother’s Garden of Eden.0ba236243a253c27

And the man sat down with a thud in front of the drawn line and looked up at me with innocent eyes. He had laid the foundation for the GED, and we had made rapid progress. The price for saving me from the tutor’s molestation had already been paid. He would probably do well on his own after that. He was someone with a decent desire to study.c39772bcefdb0c0d

The word “responsibility” struck me more than the word “like.” That’s right. I’m a nineteen-year-old fledgling who wants to give sympathy and kindness but is burdened by responsibility. The people who helped me, the people I admired, were adults who knew how to keep an appropriate distance. But I don’t know that line. Even so, I was uncomfortable with him crossing the line. The fact that I learned from the man turned into a shock, and as my hands trembled, the phone hung up.07a1e9dfb2e0bd79

When I came out of the room, my mom was there, changed into pink pajamas. My mom’s eyes, looking at me in the living room vanity mirror, were fighting sleep. The dark shadows around my mom’s eyes seemed to be reproaching me. I stood there blankly, holding onto the doorknob.bfac1c3be738f2e2

The line that the man must not cross was my mom and aunt. The mission of not ruining their expectations was hanging around my neck. We couldn’t be openly friendly for life. I went where my heart led me, and when I happened to look back, there were my mom and aunt’s faces crying.2553a13b5fb1c014

Ji-hye, who was in a different class and only greeted me occasionally, came to mind naturally. If she’s good at studying in class and has a decent family, my mom didn’t say much.3d0140ca291e6a23
She opened the door to the bedroom and went in with tired, drooping steps. It probably helped that my mom’s judgment was blurred by sleepiness. I carefully went outside so as not to be suspected and put on my shoes.bde825244ae0e764
