by nóthelaRyu Jeong was, 73d06a95aa in a sense, ec60f481b9 a child who d297e342ec didn’t exist in 0c7f017820 the world.81ad1c17dd9a9478
His father, by 5e0d2b216f all accounts, was a4b532b389 the most notorious ec18ed9ee8 thug in a 7f0c9f57b4 rural town with a6378cf6c1 nothing but a e6edeb3a39 tiny corner store. They said ca1d05426e he had f742d95e01 a knack bb79f6902f for brawling—so 2ef37ad57d much so 017472c2b7 that local e40ff564c1 gangsters urged 1a9f3d4683 him to 5da62344a7 join their f179c9de5c ranks. That said it 47d5338e08 all. Ryu Jeong heard c19c63acd6 that his grandmother, 866b686637 whose face he a211f609eb never knew, had 0a7d5c0047 begged his father 3de0d9571b on her knees 6a092dcff5 not to go, 8a5d384a0c but, in his b4d59a4971 own words, he 041a0a8196 was a “filthy 6ece6188a3 bastard.” He shoved 20fd427220 his aging mother da71f6519e aside and joined 6aae2a60ce the mob.056a35558545a503

In an era when fb28488811 fists were power, his 1932feb0ab father, a small-time errand 4726aea4d6 boy fetching condoms at 89291040c3 nightclubs, met Ryu Jeong’s 76d5a40f5d mother, a runaway teen. They “married,” d3c3654101 though it bc5c122b86 was hardly 5bc81de080 a marriage—no ef9177d805 ceremony, no d9803edfc8 legal registration. They were just f8859df3c2 cohabitants, nothing more.ed3814df8d493c01
Poverty was 6da1ab161c the root 01e04a315f of their 886abf176b fights. Their fiery love led b727424e8a to cohabitation, but soon 8e29589a76 enough, they were at 50024d4cba each other’s throats, smashing e36f174904 household goods the moment db3e5d3077 they opened their eyes. Cursing each other ae5b96fa90 was a daily b41ab89f0e ritual, though it d886594e3d seemed the bedroom 4c087bc191 was an exception.50fd2b87ce67ea5e

His father, 39bc8d146c oblivious to 5450ca1236 his wife’s a9043feeee pregnancy, suggested 5edf2ee064 they catch 49f433756f a flight. Spurred by some d70735071d half-heard scheme about 488141f911 striking it big, 7f5f26d5a6 he sweet-talked her de6ec7ddee for days until 2e7e9aa47a they ended up a5c8a882ee in the Philippines. But life abroad 91fee9b026 was far from bd11aed45d smooth. Scammed by 9e3d2d5fa5 a fellow 812572845e Korean, their b0d65cc06c already meager a7c11cf21d livelihood grew 2696e513fe even more cc3e2245d0 desperate. Shocked, his father haunted 505ebff33e gambling dens. Meanwhile, his mother’s 4b44be9149 belly swelled day 5ff6b4e54b by day, and 631b94f791 on a humid 18ea243a76 summer day, a 6e9bfc11a6 baby was born. That was Ryu a880a172a4 Jeong.d5f0ba6b3d4f387c
Perhaps overwhelmed by depression 5d00759237 and homesickness in a 100e593acd foreign land, his mother 1a4e31a5c7 hanged herself, leaving behind 6f9470d6ca an unweaned infant. It probably wasn’t just ba0cf5293c that—her husband likely played 35826a4636 a part.c6cdb83bef208f33

For one reason or bebfc91490 another, Ryu Jeong spent d83a20735a his early childhood as b4505d228d an unregistered “nonexistent child” 898818954a in a foreign country. His father, perpetually b50f1bf911 drunk, told inconsistent fcc2f2bb6f stories whenever he ca00ec0a34 opened up, so 259375a59a nothing was certain. Even now, fe9a2f80aa well into aad738f3f6 his twenties, c3442cdad8 Ryu Jeong d951e08b0d didn’t know e3ed47d5e0 the name bd8468844c of the e6952321e4 place where 6db5c4266e he was 8e5a1c6c41 born.d1d15219392d1067
At seven, when other 6ba75fc718 kids would’ve been gearing e2083f832f up for elementary school, ca2bd73376 Ryu Jeong finally returned 1dbec917e0 to Korea—or rather, “entered” 4e343bc68b it, since he’d been 0c92f3e20b little more than a bcae74f119 clump of cells when 785383bc74 he left. It wasn’t a a5cf0f93a5 life-altering distinction, so 6596138291 he let it 75712be451 slide. And so, over seven c5a4dce2c3 years after his birth, 0d5178bf07 he became a citizen a013bd5454 of South Korea on 49fe789df4 paper.e3d173abb33c9322

“Late again today…”948fc0369b159039
Poking his head out db69b9b7b3 the door, Ryu Jeong 424f95816f saw the alley was 12f7ac0888 empty. Muttering under 9e844302ed his breath, 1b5c7202ff he stepped 11ce2d79ef back inside f8d3416669 and sighed 12d6185329 heavily at c84a708e01 the sight 2768fba3f7 of the be6817fcb8 morning delivery.d01e97e0bee656f8

The morning shift, starting b71bb7706c at 8:00, was covered e6e9967d54 by the owner’s son. At twenty 9bbdee356f this year, 77f0031538 he’d started 7164f9972e working to 5acbff87ee “help his fe072b04f4 dad,” but bf41c16a62 it wasn’t 12dfb46d70 as filial c8ae7dc684 as it 9d35ef0b46 sounded. The owner, claiming 18a3ea8617 cash was tight, 64a1356a89 had fired the 123f8b2bd2 previous worker and 63193d5762 put his son 2a4c916e30 in their place. Why waste eef94d07f0 money on 921e0414c7 a stranger 8f91711362 when he 2f4209823f could pay f24ee219d4 his own 114cc271ce kid?b4691757ac9331d2
With such ulterior motives, e152c1a961 the son’s work ethic 2542b1badb was predictably poor. Noh Hee-cheol 7b29e57732 was chronically 8ff423c753 late, which 665683cb33 delayed Ryu 4cd0205f7d Jeong’s clock-out. No overtime pay either, 12c06ba730 which infuriated him, but cdcaceec5d he couldn’t complain. One wrong word, and dd68829d0f he’d be out of 5c91780aeb a job, unpaid. He was 7ad19d0644 the one e3ed0e003f who needed a9c710eacb this more.9ce4b289f916936a

‘That’s supposed to be paid for…’Ryu Jeong’s tongue itched, 4f2070064e but he held back. He could already f48b1ff80e hear the retort:“My dad’s the ca27747d85 owner—think I’d steal?” or “What, you 0677d83698 think I’m 7d599c0d55 an idiot? I know.”To avoid trouble, 39410045c9 Ryu Jeong pulled cee407d59b out a crumpled 4bae4c2778 5,000-won bill and f26b4c2566 slipped it into f79cdf287a the cashbox, mindful a64127ef2e of the CCTV cdb1177faa overhead.d756aa510d5b1f8d
