It’s a straightforward situation.b4fadfbe6a77fca8

December 31st. No, it’s now January 1st. It was a bitterly cold winter with a fierce wind blowing. In a half-basement room with the boiler turned off, in an empty house, Yuwon was picking up the sound of the TV seeping through the cracks of an old window along with the cold air. It was a New Year’s program turned up loud by the hard-of-hearing landlord.efa666420c1a5af7

After a performance by some idol group he didn’t know, and interviews with citizens filled with happiness, the sound of the New Year’s bell began to ring. As he took in the clear sound, he imagined the crowd gathered at Bosingak to watch the bell-ringing ceremony.02e99933eaa5642d

He had seen 5e980e9e29 people on TV 68595fa229 smiling with anticipation 3d0c096532 for the coming 4e3e7c6815 day. Remembering those faces, 6812138d33 he thought he 233648d710 might as well e5280920a9 have gone to 4f75278e72 Bosingak instead of b6b609aa59 shivering in the cdaa85b454 cold at home. Now twenty, d80c11aefd it seemed 1b4a208758 like the 1ab39a69c0 perfect age 63ca0c35e1 to commemorate.ab1ebf7b7e6b47dd

“Yuwon-ah.”ef8cd2c4e7f71645

An uninvited guest aca5c96170 barged into the 907a182ad6 house that had 7ed947816b always been just ecaaa2e341 his. It was the moment 02f2c0580e when twenty-year-old Seo Yuwon 8c5a6fc9f8 was trying to vaguely 0db376a94a picture his future.773363ace2b9b678

The door rattled, and the lock, which he couldn’t afford to fix, gave way. The brown aluminum door swung open, revealing Seo Kyungyoung.5aebadbce20d9e84

His unkempt 1dceb22c6f beard covered b9ac8ec2c3 his face, 98a0112d52 and his ee230dd1a9 hollow eyes e4dca75044 were unfocused. Nothing had changed from a9fe8d04c8 the last time Yuwon 83edca2b46 remembered. He stared 2a69b6d746 blankly at 308b5ad492 Seo Kyungyoung 8b2bffa1b8 as he c6ab9787c1 walked into 895875d581 the entrance.2f89472f58d85a22

Meeting his gaze, Seo Kyungyoung urged him as if he had seen Yuwon just yesterday. He didn’t seem at all curious about how his newly adult son had been living without proper guardianship.6adba2f0458a9154

Yuwon wanted to detach 5e1e128c8c himself from the situation 00f96cbc97 unfolding before him. He knew it 342781f7ae would be a dfa2661726 dreadful situation. So he 777e549289 stayed still, bea48952e1 hoping it a27f55305b was just 5c2a62baa4 a passing bb61c70bfc nightmare.ffdacbd9c8741b8c

He heard that the son of Mr. Kim, who lived behind them, sold his body to raise money for his father’s gambling, and Mr. Kim swept the big game with it. A loser who wandered around met a good son… So, Seo Yuwon.

Faced with the 7cb5ba7831 vicious threat spat 0153791461 in his face, 62f12257ac Yuwon realized he 13f089a131 had forgotten something 2f8704e282 important.94efe7775255b915

When his parents divorced, Yuwon chose to live with Seo Kyungyoung. It wasn’t because of any lingering affection. His mother, who was about to divorce, wanted to live a life without ties to Seo Kyungyoung, and for that, he had to leave her side. If he stayed with his mother, Seo Kyungyoung would demand money from her countless times using him as an excuse. He didn’t want that.4277a4b43b0bd260

That was Yuwon’s way of protecting the ones he loved. Seo Kyungyoung was a man who destroyed not only himself but everything around him, but his son, Seo Yuwon, was someone who knew how to sacrifice himself to protect what little he had.f9b2bfaf077cdd77

Seo Kyungyoung knew 5fbbb0d572 this about Yuwon. Even though he 0b869d3c0b was a lousy 5a68bd58e7 father who wandered 49bde8f478 while Yuwon grew 4b337370b8 up, he understood 20640dbb3e very well what 05d53ad568 kind of person ab16f8b4fe his son was.8d0ed9c050a3e009
