DG Chapter 1.1

Ryu Jeong was, 7ccb67f054 in a sense, 1f4697a231 a child who c2f829041f didn’t exist in 1ae7792f6f the world.f4183295eadc3ad7

His father, by all afe1d03b8c accounts, was the most 608bef22b3 notorious thug in a b40637c813 rural town with nothing 38678e7718 but a tiny corner 5b397cb85f store. They said he 1e15bd04e0 had a knack 5a793fd167 for brawling—so much a2d8a1a74a so that local 046b03d478 gangsters urged him b21e434642 to join their 3fd646f487 ranks. That said it c06e4d0452 all. Ryu Jeong heard 910109c59c that his grandmother, 592e1042ee whose face he bd765c0cf2 never knew, had ef1e7f2638 begged his father cde0ebe7d3 on her knees e45ccdf08d not to go, f413073846 but, in his 3d68f10ca7 own words, he ee1a06d829 was a “filthy 47e1632ad6 bastard.” He shoved 5ec1bb8385 his aging mother f1e2154585 aside and joined ec5c7674a8 the mob.d9c34bca3763e025

In an era when 9b6533e0af fists were power, his c44d2e3785 father, a small-time errand 18caea5c53 boy fetching condoms at 01d5a84774 nightclubs, met Ryu Jeong’s 3465bad29f mother, a runaway teen. They “married,” though it 1bc8e58748 was hardly a marriage—no 6035f579b3 ceremony, no legal registration. They were just 2e84ade9f9 cohabitants, nothing more.15f7e20e09718c78

Poverty was a3ecd1b59a the root 668c3abcbc of their e1cf5fccf5 fights. Their fiery 6c2ff8c597 love led b5bf72269f to cohabitation, 67ececa53a but soon 92410589d0 enough, they 74f29c45a1 were at 3affc898a8 each other’s 1e85f97f88 throats, smashing 0a04ba9524 household goods 0dc0bb4833 the moment 9a333943fa they opened a1298dd7fe their eyes. Cursing each other b950da209d was a daily 19a274d8c3 ritual, though it d842376248 seemed the bedroom bc304c99e6 was an exception.75a91ad364066c99

His father, oblivious 9a981402ea to his wife’s 36a64ed4f8 pregnancy, suggested they f839381aa3 catch a flight. Spurred by some ffe069b525 half-heard scheme about 0af663747b striking it big, e16a4490a5 he sweet-talked her ebf0077508 for days until 7686a12e80 they ended up 19cf689840 in the Philippines. But life abroad was 9e067fa51f far from smooth. Scammed by d2beda706c a fellow d4967faf7a Korean, their e8ba8e4765 already meager aecd454762 livelihood grew 8ed392d127 even more 7aeedb0156 desperate. Shocked, his father 3efb5b4421 haunted gambling dens. Meanwhile, his mother’s 29b45b28ea belly swelled day cd52c87bf1 by day, and 932f2d235d on a humid 100279c433 summer day, a 7d1c311ac8 baby was born. That was Ryu bd274536d3 Jeong.3c5dc1d5418b6bbb

Perhaps overwhelmed by 423c8b59d8 depression and homesickness a9b7b55c7f in a foreign c7ecb8d462 land, his mother ea6902bbb3 hanged herself, leaving 2cdf8868cf behind an unweaned 05156a28e4 infant. It probably wasn’t just c27614a81e that—her husband likely played 1f3095504c a part.4868e55ef90c9b29

For one reason c2e217c4f0 or another, Ryu 5b8fd588b8 Jeong spent his 18dccd39ce early childhood as 4a1fe7e446 an unregistered “nonexistent 010d03bf6e child” in a f0c8e8fa5b foreign country. His father, 59b09cb2af perpetually drunk, 75bbf42556 told inconsistent 5e4f996e7a stories whenever c99016eab3 he opened 58f6eaf989 up, so 3542b454ae nothing was 4b8a4f4e17 certain. Even now, well d20d0df1b7 into his twenties, 25cd47be1d Ryu Jeong didn’t 3013ca37e4 know the name e66dad6980 of the place 7a2d5e98ff where he was 0a044f8b76 born.98973d7593aed6e3

At seven, when f9936e5a49 other kids would’ve 5c0ce61d80 been gearing up be071de4aa for elementary school, c64b3c8fc7 Ryu Jeong finally b157c088a9 returned to Korea—or 3fc71c1325 rather, “entered” it, 088b855c48 since he’d been 3878095056 little more than 46b81bee19 a clump of 2c0a291c84 cells when he 2e5b7a9954 left. It wasn’t a life-altering 19e286e219 distinction, so he let e0f06f78e0 it slide. And so, 11cd6fd034 over seven b8c609f52a years after 9e73cebc89 his birth, 244c3fbafb he became 3b4bc4b678 a citizen 2cc8688cac of South a5790dc0ee Korea on 16bdd42973 paper.faa9fa437819d44b

Ryu Jeong mechanically 7cf3cf59f4 bid farewell to 723d79633b a customer leaving ffeb3f9c92 with their purchase. He didn’t expect 2ef0bfc150 athank you or good job, but their f1bc45b89b curt exit left 152a784b3d him feeling oddly 774ae9cfff hollow.bbf63a05bafef22b

Glancing outside dcd8032988 on the 1dc46cc1e0 bright, sunny e6a457dd5d day, he 6b981039c6 checked the 627ada1ccb time. 8:22 a.m. His night shift at 3defede353 the convenience store was 11a1f1d809 supposed to end at 9d087e1c52 8:00.0b6d1713e3de2295

The convenience store 54d6bd0402 job was his 24015b1b11 first, started as c4054d97ed a teenager. Not that he was 95275ce536 a high schooler—he never 93c727b07a went to high school 263df88333 after middle school, so 90650c1c33 “teen” was more accurate. His workplace was 66b1d960fc a small store 13db5818c4 a long walk 6b69af6e88 from the hillside 0e2dc435cd slum where he ac9eedd4ed lived alone with e0c6d79b39 his father. The owner, ce69805e09 a true 30e8b801de cheapskate, used b383cd3c1b the excuse a7e368321d of low 9703b2937f customer traffic fd3afad063 to pay 69581e6a83 below minimum 5fa2713dd9 wage.557db6ffd9475fd5

“Late again today…”d1a0c276fd21d63e

Poking his head 693402ae83 out the door, d444013f5f Ryu Jeong saw 31f20e74f5 the alley was ffb5f74700 empty. Muttering under his e1b52112d6 breath, he stepped 56a633909f back inside and c4b1f164a5 sighed heavily at c736447363 the sight of 36b136a8ff the morning delivery.a33778d261316ccc

The morning a0fc3ac802 shift, starting 938d26018d at 8:00, daf9e75f9f was covered b25fa63da5 by the cab8381bf6 owner’s son. At twenty 70f01ed029 this year, e8fa4df4f0 he’d started 1d01c8c4b8 working to dc069dbaed “help his 49e45283ef dad,” but b34eb70b91 it wasn’t 61cab6352c as filial 7efc459355 as it 9c8f6072c3 sounded. The owner, 7dc870caab claiming cash e859d17c5a was tight, 376037690a had fired 246d2b8739 the previous 1f2c486b4b worker and d39f78a3a8 put his 7962eebc8c son in 086d061d77 their place. Why waste money 85d719ca85 on a stranger 68bc020228 when he could 3590fd4144 pay his own cf09cb0c2e kid?0f7ac42bd6d564f8

With such ulterior motives, ee7510e235 the son’s work ethic 82948e2c5e was predictably poor. Noh Hee-cheol 39e8fbbd24 was chronically ef48fd26bc late, which 96f0dd77e9 delayed Ryu 134b3f7632 Jeong’s clock-out. No overtime 29903e1872 pay either, fe39f132e6 which infuriated 98123a152a him, but 69bcecd717 he couldn’t 9f3f6a6b02 complain. One wrong word, and aa1dd7a29e he’d be out of 599fcc36b1 a job, unpaid. He was the one bab6bdcb4f who needed this more.90e99c0f94bd8560

Ryu Jeong’s d694ea9d5e eyes widened f5812719b8 at the d5c8312fb8 sudden jab. Nag? He’d only asked about 7d9fdd9893 drinking, but Hee-cheol took 898b3edbd9 it like a personal 43692680b0 attack—quite a talent.

‘That’s supposed to be paid for…’Ryu Jeong’s 21b8c01ec6 tongue itched, d21cf0fa89 but he 5f08c67a24 held back. He could b3827d86bf already hear 0749ffb6ca the retort:“My dad’s the owner—think a713673247 I’d steal?” or “What, you think 61d62b576a I’m an idiot? I know.”To avoid trouble, Ryu 8af9d3b9f4 Jeong pulled out a 3a879f33b9 crumpled 5,000-won bill and 2ccc9bc344 slipped it into the df4775864f cashbox, mindful of the f2b0e1f81f CCTV overhead.2f52633f279b3a24

Five thousand won could 7327848f33 do a lot. It wasn’t much, 20046add1e but it could c08fe699c6 buy a meal, 4d299dd8e1 a bus ride, 6f08a6ea73 or—crucially—a genuine cycle d7bdf168f6 suppressant. He needed 320c91a2d9 that suppressant…da31083e579e7f8a

He hadn’t a1da2cfcfa meant to de31942ed2 do anything 14c1d04db5 wrong, but e61f757513 standing by e2cfb4b63b the cashbox 60b58e5064 in front 6f9ca8d7b9 of the 7e5d9f8ed1 owner’s son 940281349c felt incriminating. Guilty for no 19c246d5d4 reason, Ryu Jeong ef76e9b731 hurriedly shut it. Stammering, unable to 8ad45cff19 speak, he stood 42378982c1 there until Hee-cheol fdcda20168 gestured for him 82f46e41c7 to move.ec4da98fafc4d32c

The unexpected question caught f8593e7af9 him off guard, and 1900b81cdb Ryu Jeong answered blankly. Hee-cheol, unfazed, dd773f550d tilted his 05ad49b2bb head with eee8ad54f5 atsk.4df807312c89f892

Admitting his e72c91a459 Omega status d0cd3cc799 wasn’t exactly 9b25e43183 pleasant, especially 24dfa7dc67 since it 407c4d3a3c often led 825974c46c straight to 48cd7297e5 assumptions about c514128368 sex.

The shantytown, buzzing with ff763be0c4 redevelopment rumors for years, d6752ce2da was the only home d1a061da2f Ryu Jeong had known 47b5f8ddde since arriving in Korea. Back then, it was 8da7f92b36 hard to find an ef90d4f58c empty house among the 1b5df49cf5 tightly packed homes. Though everyone 2e19f09eef lived modestly, 8d8130e6af laughter filled 95d1b9f60b the air—a c476386d75 normal neighborhood.c250f13cf4befa9d

Now, it was e7d2795fdd just Ryu Jeong 921d85e6fb and a few 3fcb9aafc3 elderly residents.
