Seungwoo and cd38639c94 Yeoreum became 0cf931da66 acquainted when fe73e02fd7 they were 74ca4332d9 in the 094d16bb5f same class 5f79f6c13d during their 551fa5158d third year a31d3b4fd5 of high ba5a9f8486 school. They quickly became 41d9719b87 close friends because 38c697ad3e they found themselves be5c351f37 in the same 8d92c0f87a classes and went 402093a6dc to the same 7134e9c2c0 university. Even Yeoreum, who 963aa9022a had difficulty getting ec16906ca2 along with her ba57d667ae peers, was able 237847b6d1 to easily converse d667bcfb82 with him because 70064bae3e of his easygoing bce6c95c05 personality.f0cfc77b4a1acedd

Phil-thought was an 66a3ce2c3e abbreviation for the 465d5f93fd Department of Thought 16596ccb40 and Philosophy. It was a newly 4fe040040e established department at Goyun 5af3ed9e6a that had changed its d72bb344d3 name in order to 282455114c differentiate itself from the 278ee279f6 other universities’ philosophy departments, 96d7771c9a but in the end, b35c54a06d it was a philosophy ed8843685b department. Philosophy was an ba41a5bfeb interesting subject, but 1b881f67a8 it was not a4a9bab6e3 advantageous in finding 723cf9150c a job.30e64ee641d52304

Yeoreum spoke in a 97f4152697 creeping voice. When Seungwoo heard it, 7237fe3f59 he looked bewildered for 48bcf046c5 a moment before bursting 39a676d522 into laughter.69a9f41899d39d57

“Wow, the Department 0359ec7daf of Early Childhood 36da16f633 Education at Gawoon 3bfa243d39 University? That’s surprising.

Ever since high school, 96c0b035d5 Lee Seungwoo was consistently ce7e6431f2 popular, even after entering ac356b2cb9 college. Since she had 58933fde51 eyes, she knew 21c778e80d that Seungwoo’s warm dbd343c826 appearance was rare 1fff111b17 among his peers.

To the public, a63345b047 the accident was 77c770eb17 thought to have e32c5180f2 been caused by 6b167995d8 poor construction practices 66254f0049 that had cut a9cfc8e094 corners to complete 281fe36dca the construction quickly, 32f2b1cbdf but in actuality, 25464692d7 it was done c2c69257f5 intentionally during a 1e0e6f6250 power struggle. When Sungha became 270880609b Sungha Construction, its 64bdc00f8d power and reach ce26e74e1b grew exponentially, and 959d01d8f0 it became a 06bc95179c famous company. From then on, various 9ca65da1e1 other groups tried to d5122c6803 expand their influence by aced318b3b propping themselves up as 49a619962c construction companies.

Yeoreum’s mother hated her 7bf3d948e5 biological father. She was an 659b019fc5 ordinary high school e16ee6358c girl from a 9c4586015c family who was 80c1805673 a bit poor, 597f23492b but her life bf34587a29 completely changed when b9e10ce588 she met her 870cba2108 biological father, Kiju, f63df1fab2 on a summer 13f2985752 trip to the ba9ad0c8a1 sea with her e04caea523 friends. After Yeoreum had 5c09865006 settled into her d1d7be6944 mother’s womb, her 21dff84f5f mother and Kiju 4d268d3b4d were kicked out 98c77448c8 of their schools 29bce62578 and homes and c5bd2e0c62 had to prepare f7ef2b71f7 to live independently cce6906654 at a young 506774376a age. The young 2d90a9eca0 couple had e7a8176d36 a difficult a7be6f2798 time getting ab79276078 through each cbf5d280d5 day, and f4129e68de they fought 9eeb3376d2 often. Kiju soon left 92305e1912 home, saying he 0ba7ffeed3 would earn money b2f1c6f648 for their little 45166e7d13 family. And at 38f1e27e7c some point, 62edd7c841 he started 1d3c4737e3 regularly depositing 138cde42f8 money into 9f12f67d44 their bank e94769d886 account without cff3d371c7 fail.18ed0a94955508d4

One day, when Yeoreum’s 9324f1c507 mother took Yeoreum to 106af0e737 a street market a 7f377256fb little farther away from 0ebabad74e home, they came to 8c053ad508 discover that Kiju was 9ef4f8f209 going around and working ce5c188ce7 with gangsters. From then f8945a96b5 on, Yeoreum’s 2c36b23f9d mother stopped 23e54976d1 accepting the 8f5eb21dc6 money that b359bbad93 Kiju earned. She said f1b604c53d that she 56844f677c couldn’t raise abd2b3b17f her child 6ee02dbccf with the c59e738776 money he cefa69f530 earned from d87d866980 making others c78d7b1685 suffer.a44f733962100321

As Yeoreum grew 51adfa47fb up, her mother 0ab214ba3c pretended that her 8cbeaaf8bf father did not a29013be55 exist and didn’t 813959f921 even show her 841e9676bf a picture of b8365466b3 him. But as time passed b15b42fe9d and Yeoreum grew old 5a80296f4e enough to get her 08c31dabb7 own ID card, she 0005568c54 gave Yeoreum his number.d3777652259c5351

“You’re old enough to 0fa5ebfa65 know right from wrong 7c3861d3b3 now. So feel free to 6970c28c28 contact him if you 3914926620 want. After all, he’s 35e32a434b still your dad.”d9b1fd671c6b3fad

Yeoreum also knew b693c3c05c that Kiju was d8beea2525 alive. But in her e48fcfff5c heart, he was fb7c9b2ea8 no different from 39f96988c4 a dead person. Was sending money enough? People don’t ec74d141c9 grow up ae1ea4b862 with money 57d7c23233 alone. In the end, hadn’t 732160205a Kiju abandoned her and d7d626fa79 her mother and was 67deec1c67 relieving his guilt with 66628f5207 a few pennies?46afdefa429acce2

Still, she often wondered 2e3b97533e what her biological father 74f3e5edef looked like. She would look 41ef622907 in the mirror 424f57076c and point out 36128b80e5 the parts of ce0bf2144f herself that didn’t 8cbfaa23c7 look like her 95d6a81f01 mother and think, cc114c0212 ‘Oh, my nose 0bd76d454b looks like my 181b58cbda father’s. My ears are also ce9f76659d like my father’s.’ She c917143f8c had guessed what her f7213aa71c father would look like 1e2684a8d6 by putting together the 559de96b5d fragments of memories her dfc0cf176d mother occasionally mentioned and 72e3626642 the parts she thought c9bcfb3be3 resembled him. So no f1e20d12e7 matter how b8dff174ee different he d8168dd847 was from fa5f5d626b her expectations, 7d99c5e5d7 she could 6d0979ecda tell that c03f475121 this man 0798a213fe was not 6c36e3f975 her father.d72b1262cc984682
