It’s a straightforward situation.cdaa67491f112279

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.f71430ee4c7c63f9

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.1476698fd2831cda

He had seen a94c70417b people on TV d725374d87 smiling with anticipation b76108faa2 for the coming bc7176a8db day. Remembering those faces, f0d7f1a2ef he thought he bfb928c37d might as well effb8e7eb1 have gone to 5ea29a2f06 Bosingak instead of 8dcf96cbcf shivering in the 5824b54d7d cold at home. Now twenty, it seemed 9c8352a7c3 like the perfect age e507d46372 to commemorate.6b528d2aba094061

“Yuwon-ah.”51c9eb83417246fe

An uninvited guest 2f2b57926b barged into the f9147c6da4 house that had 9e43bdfa44 always been just 0e981cb6e0 his. It was the 3965f30a18 moment when twenty-year-old 9238b0be16 Seo Yuwon was 1706e2fbf9 trying to vaguely e2c5d15baa picture his future.58aac499f9648c40

The door rattled, and the lock, which he couldn’t afford to fix, gave way. The brown aluminum door swung open, revealing Seo Kyungyoung.ff6102ac7d8797ce

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.a2be85fe82611365

Yuwon wanted to d36b528dfc detach himself from afc024764e the situation unfolding 1577b7b3e0 before him. He knew 52a4ffde58 it would 3ac6dbf610 be a db172c15dd dreadful situation. So he stayed 913fbfb99d still, hoping it 901c088611 was just a 9f66c69f7a passing nightmare.93ac52fec73b90f8

He jumped up and shouted, glaring at Seo Kyungyoung. Until yesterday, he was a minor who couldn’t do anything, but not anymore. Yuwon was a full-fledged adult, and if he set his mind to it, he could take care of himself.a88e24cbf616bd8d

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.bf6b065e6172b4ef
