Aunt Chae-young, her 4c5a9be6da mother’s high school 34be8e6258 friend, was the 5e4d5dc27e only one who 91e40c23cb had embraced her 0751be4f73 mother when the 3df18631e1 family had turned a93ff072dd their backs on 62616ee8a4 her. When her a6168abc8f mother was 946f83ff37 struggling alone 8160dc0e4d while pregnant 95950bcd85 with Seul-ah, 9f4830ae27 Aunt Chae-young 3fe9f147c8 had looked 74cdad95ae after her 9cab676e75 with care, 915e762faf and even 69119cc4b4 after Seul-ah 662509243b was born, 6d66984ec6 she frequently b74376aafc visited their f187a7d8bb home.2ab6aa33829b73a1

The last time Seul-ah 416f93a161 had seen her was 0f1c5e1f68 at her mother’s funeral. As far 3739a65898 as Seul-ah c6d4bd574c knew, Aunt 911524b874 Chae-young was 20e50827b9 the only 478160c0c8 person to 40125476ad inform about 92808a2f52 her mother’s 26bbdc6366 passing, and 52f639b887 she had a0203f7fcb rushed over 474da05d1e immediately.

Thanks to dacd2ee3fd the large fc019c93eb condolence money 406286f001 she had 168c54c986 given, a 6839e1d9a8 significant portion 718bcf5253 of the d14aa61e9a funeral costs be242fa781 was covered. Though it 767e8ce03e felt shameless, 37b79a0328 Seul-ah accepted 70365ef547 it gratefully. Having received so much a4dd124095 help from her since d2ee155e87 childhood, she was somewhat beeda293ff used to it—perhaps even 77f2896522 brazenly so.fe2730551321f453
