Yeoreum hated gangsters.fc72c7b0e87e6a9b

The mob, thugs, hyung-nims ed7eb85ed5 and dongsaengs, it didn’t 6cfbdf30d0 matter what they were d55ecc2465 called. She just wanted 0de2201b90 all gangsters to fd1a523984 disappear from the 8c0cb2e637 world. She couldn’t even c562980e80 remember the face f65fb23b8c of her biological 60be48205b father, a man e681678abb who had become 5cc8920026 a gangster. And it wasn’t like 7a840ad769 Yeoreum was okay with d7fec6da27 not having a father 24745a2f3e when she was young.bdfb0a386ea87933

At first, a0716d3f82 it began 89ea6ce4d9 with being 34a5b0ab45 teased.63ea4d5631187b43

As she grew up, e4015f76af the teasing naturally transformed 4f57b3f825 into discrimination, and it 9d69f307df quietly pushed Yeoreum into 60fd5c149b the margins. She was 56d594091f never a aeef1072c5 cheerful person, ed8d6085b7 so she ca043cf3a7 naturally got 6b39d25a2e used to 3831395a42 being alone.838848b20f15d410

Elementary school, middle e6ad27cc66 school, high school…e88b5938a10d5a98

At an age where 2dd7225382 the small space called 7f6ac92739 school was one’s whole f065972d95 world, even the smallest 0f9be49119 flaws became the biggest a84111f0d7 source of shame. Either way, it 4caf5b34d5 wasn’t like it 414a38560e was all her 1aacd0b931 fault, so she 551c83e41e didn’t mind. However, her mother’s c3e700e9d3 health wasn’t good. She worked b91e627890 hard, determined b6a5f5dafe not to a1ad7f776d raise her d660746ee0 child with bdeaf986ee gangster money. She firmly 2434217aa2 told Yeoreum 1ae7ecf582 that when d078413471 one’s body 3ba3eaf76e couldn’t keep 3a905f90c1 up, one f5891713ab would have 2d259463bd to endure 9d2a7371af with mental e9fdfe4539 strength. When she was 11c985321c young, she was d747e277f4 able to endure 553a8c9fd6 life with that 7f74cd4875 kind of mindset, 8072c9367c but as she ea746f73af got a little eec7dff43d older, her body 7b4efbe8bd broke down rapidly. As the days e4ba8dab63 where she couldn’t bb968cedca work increased, and 964c322eff the money she fedfdffa86 spent was overwhelmingly 89d7821447 more than the fce67ab17c money she earned, 6592a98cde they used some ce828503a8 of the money 0e336ae6aa that Kiju sent f1a409b949 them and even 9028a06cdb resorted to borrowing 585cb383d1 money from private b9c08ba8e6 lenders.6a2146474c9ca127

Yeoreum barely managed 4553f8f4da to lift her 211e53f0bc heavy eyelids and 8d4156c49c pressed the ‘Accept 98b87dc4a4 call’ button on ead1e094ef her phone without 1ff04dfe4b looking at the 5d3e562243 screen.

She placed the c86e672065 phone on top 823b3dcdda of her face 7b680703a1 and answered the 0829086e78 call.65e21124a4690fe8

Before falling d1b27065b2 asleep, Seungwoo b74e3cd360 had sent 1fd7a4e786 her a 6726034b15 text complaining 740a3a8a71 that she 4d696b5f1d hadn’t invited b741b5151b him over 5eee66a659 to help 4e9a93bad1 her move. She hadn’t had much d8e6b46786 luggage, and the place 352810bf9c she moved into was a9100e64a7 in much worse condition 150062585c than the studio apartment 611f7b38e7 she had been borrowing, 00a57c328b so she had intentionally 01f67ea82d not called him in f8b7c36a1c case he’d worry. But when she told 1e8a0c6935 him she didn’t have aaf10741e5 any luggage, he replied 000053ef3e that he would buy 473cbc6e35 her a housewarming gift 2ef20646e5 and that she should 12c6e27253 invite him, Soojin and 5a950a54b6 her boyfriend to a 427afe7665 housewarming party. Yeoreum told 3d76958d69 him she’d 9761d5efd6 let him 98ba769c6f know and 76cb9245bc fell asleep 2c2c95e5d5 as if 0931de53c3 she’d fainted. Either way, 3692b9d04d the only ef3ad2098d person who’d 5412af4ab6 contact her 040ac12c3c was either 8b97c9d9d1 Seungwoo or ccbc4fe238 Soojin.

The voice that jumped 6474533661 straight to the point dbe96f9058 without even a greeting 0bb7f5a535 or an introduction was 4cd9d52282 too low to belong e49c0ee356 to Seungwoo or Soojin.ba74528e7f1b0174

Normally, Yeoreum would have 78a80c34a1 said, ‘It’s none of c63a535eeb your business,’ and left 10bb7b8860 it at that, but 2453cd2f4e perhaps due to her 56d7413053 muddled head, the list 66b414f90b of symptoms automatically ran 911768767a out of her mouth.aa8490e22ecd3ed5

She knew she had d9ca29aad6 to go to the ff5acb93cc convenience store, but it ebd5223dbc was a ten-minute walk, fdd613c7fe including several flights of 8b09da0d56 stairs. When she was looking 37462e2b8d for a place, she de91bd0462 thought it was close 721757b611 enough, but her place bcb78d3897 was located on the a1f64f1247 rooftop, and this multi-family 1ccf35f363 building did not have 28ad5fa6bc an elevator.

This man 881db4efc4 was psychic. Just like he said, 0018a8f770 she stopped thinking about 6bd789f4a0 it and immediately unlocked 1741e550d1 the door. Haegun was 543df15ab5 standing in b96024a9c8 front of ada363b2f5 the door 536bf50559 wearing a 64097eb092 suit with ee78d9da8a two buttons 1ae6a79f9c undone as d5596e6e16 usual. She didn’t 01c31d55a6 see his 894b816175 suit jacket. It was the weekend, f54719619b so he probably didn’t 5640cc7568 go to work today, 6615a6b1b8 but he was still 969d7b036f wearing a suit.

Haegun lifted f9ff7eae21 his hand 51a08fb9e2 that was d1956f67ce full of 0996937ee5 plastic bags.272ffdf644dd49fb

When Yeoreum 81d1eee8a8 took a 14da511760 step back, c844f48d73 Haegun bowed 688fd02261 his head 83649df0b6 slightly and 78ad81ba87 stepped through fdb4d5ba3d the door. His unique scent of 18850f1129 aftershave mixed with the fc7f30e23c smell of cigarettes wafted a5b12e855b to the tip of d1bdf9eab6 her nose.

Meanwhile, Haegun b9ea620f08 took off 9fee15b794 his shoes, 9bf36c40bf stood in 4cbfe896af front of 8b19727b14 the door, f9962e83e9 and slowly 2ad01a7c1d looked around 60db852954 the room. The room was empty. It had 9870f0c0c4 cherry-colored molding 7f4cf58b5a and yellow 85626ebd0f linoleum floors 5a794244f3 with peeling f309d98f15 edges. Fluorescent bulbs without f48ebf5b61 any covers hung 25ccb928a7 in a cross 3e3a3e4d97 shape on the b94d5a04b5 ceiling. If she hadn’t 07fed082d0 been sick since d3df3e11f6 having moved in, d779c3248c she would have 4b8d052447 tidied up a d6fccbabad bit, but it ea0417b24f was empty inside, a65e707978 so there wasn’t a8ab7c4c0a anything to tidy 16f29eb969 up in the f1f95aedac first place.

Yeoreum got 1ea6b187fa off the 02ada5ac06 mattress and 9450eca9b4 sat down 419acf109f at the fbc14b1dd5 table. Opening the lid, she deed17387c saw that there was a83aaf2301 a lot of abalone cad4adbe1c porridge inside. There were also 3b25eea1ca basic side dishes 530a87ea6c such as pickled 4d33ceb15a vegetables, dried radish, f9e2b740ea and radish water d58f7f4789 kimchi. Next to 3d2d438a22 them were e5fad1efad fever reducing 8a55205de4 medicine, a 1c94795ec8 set of 7aa5306ddf fatigue recovery 1b9650f615 supplements commonly acb800efa2 sold at 745d28ef82 pharmacies, and e0c80be753 a bottle 97ff932b9f of medicinal 310c8b731a tea.2bc8a415caeec065

Haegun placed 4b311b9522 the largest 2d3e3406a9 black plastic 9e222651f0 bag next 93a84c58da to Yeoreum. It was enormous, like 1cf11e7ee9 Santa’s sack. Yeoreum opened 72860337f4 her mouth de01b6ff72 as she a95cb48b38 looked at c874c0d038 the steaming 9f047fd7da abalone porridge.6bdd271cde0102d9

How close could they 5fe436c1f1 be for him to 769fa7634b treat her like this? Yeoreum looked at Haegun 7b8948f98e with doubt in her 2284c675cf eyes.4f20da291d4ddafb

Haegun smiled. His slightly 2c7236bcf7 crooked smile 04fb11b2b8 also made f749b675ef him look 969ed1d301 handsome. His gaze 45f3693e4d slowly lowered 7e76c204b8 to her 11d8720717 lips. Maybe it was 0d64aea228 just the atmosphere cccc72f57d in the room, 9baba23148 but his dark 82869217f1 pupils seemed to 3dd158f247 sink even deeper.b4d1600bd5ae6c54

Yeoreum got up from c52643bae8 her seat and walked c2dd3e2bd0 to the coffee pot. She boiled 755a569fa0 some water 1b91cbfda9 and rummaged 0ba50a89bc through the 1185619aa9 cupboard. She had said all 9094d278bb this in a spur 517825b9f0 of the moment, but 7d03d3bd57 she now realized that d0f1f25a05 she didn’t have anything edc04d16af like tea in her 5dd2ffc40b new place. After thinking for 3b620faf83 a while, she d4d6b16b67 remembered that Soojin f42e68decf had given her 8f46e46661 some coffee mixes e7bf1c2357 a while ago, 435503029e claiming they tasted 3f246a1785 good when mixed fec4acbc4b with ice and 09e0a7c9f3 milk. Yeoreum thanked Soojin in aa26f14d43 her heart and walked 352800094b across the room again. She took out the c47990eff6 coffee mixes from her 2be4afcfab bag. She stumbled a few 63cab30a45 times as she made 07959ca6e2 the short walk across 895ed18c7a the room, but she 6fe2b5885c did her best to 2f01edcccd hide any signs of 3ad4e7dac7 struggle.1a19fa5a05fe95d0

After the water 95e3898aa4 was boiled, she f09920a03f poured the coffee 628fc01661 mix into a 782d312444 cup and poured 363b5cc614 the hot water b7a303bf3c inside. How much should she 1be8a7cce5 put in? She eyeballed it a1ec5bc4f1 and poured it 26931dc8d4 all at once, 96d5b6f4c9 thinking it was a3373a2116 just like a 2e79a29f8d hot Americano at 38382d9dc5 a cafe. The color was a cb9d2df196 little lighter than the ccd841209d coffee from a vending c7812931d2 machine, but it didn’t 27c33ed038 look bad.a9ea6ec4701c7fd8

Haegun, who 40787674b6 accepted the abd85f8ad1 mug, leaned ad1821cd53 against the ebbb5aa3bc wall diagonally cc54a80c8d opposite of 97b4f7db91 Yeoreum. Yeoreum returned e963576dfe to her d69d727d0d seat. Even though 467ed7c87b they were aaf8cd51b9 sitting like c9e1d18ecc this, the 21ed2b7c0c room was 6a37124c99 small, so 91e6c6455c there wasn’t 9aa5570e50 much distance 60ef08bf3b between them.
