“I go first.”

As I got up from my seat and spoke, the eyes of the children nearby turned to me.

“uh? Why all of a sudden? After a while, I’ll go for the second one. Yunhwan, are you busy?”

“Yeah, let’s play some more. It’s no fun if you miss it.”

“right. It doesn’t make sense that you’re missing someone else.”

Because of that atmosphere, I gently raised my hand and made an apologetic expression.

“I have important guests coming to my house today, because my kondae ordered it. So sorry.”

He nodded his head to see if his classmates agreed to that.

“Well, if it’s your father’s order, it makes sense.”

“right. He’s not joking about his father, it’s scary.”

“Wow, you really are. How do you live and breathe under such a father?”

Most of the guys here know my dad well, so it was a natural reaction.

“I’m sorry. Let’s meet again soon. got it?”

“Yeah, class reunions are fun only with you. Isn’t it?”

The girls also responded that it was a pity that I went.

“Sorry, the next time we meet, I will completely empty the time.”

“okay. It doesn’t go far.”

“uh. okay.”

Saying that, he got up from his seat and walked towards the entrance of the store.

But it was then.

“Hwan-ah Yoon, wait a minute.”

Saying that, there was a girl who got up from her seat and quickly approached me.

What was your name?

Is it Kim…?

I didn’t even recognize him at first because of his completely different appearance from high school. Still, I was one of the kids who followed me diligently.

As soon as I leave the seats, the kids are so busy laughing and chatting with each other as if they don’t care.

I had no choice but to stop because of Kim Ji-soo, who rushed to the door.

“······Why?”

“Hey, can I call you tomorrow?”

“Huh? Communication? Why?”

She bites her lip slightly to see if my words hurt her self-esteem. But she didn’t want to do that, so she looked carefully at me and opened her mouth.



“Well, it’s just that I haven’t seen you in a long time… I wondered what it would be like to stay in touch again.”

However, it has improved a lot from the past.

At that time, I couldn’t even come close.

Anyway, I don’t think so.

I patted Kim Ji-soo on the shoulder and smiled.

“Sorry, I’m a little busy.”

“I do not care.”

“No, I care.”

“·················ogue.”

Having said that, he turned around and walked towards the door.

And he said, pushing the silver metal doorknob and swiping it with his other hand.

“See you at the next class reunion.”

“·················ogue.”

Just before the door closed, she gave a sneak peek at her brow furrowed, but she turned around without any regrets. Then she slowly descended the stairs and exited the Hope House.

As soon as I step outside, the smile disappears from my face.

And her head turned cold like the cold night air.


I glance up at the hop house on the second floor of the building.

She didn’t have much to say to the guys with whom she usually doesn’t communicate, and she didn’t want to get along very well.

To be honest, she wouldn’t have come to such a gathering if her mother had not asked her to hang out with people often.

Of course, I am well aware that they are still very fond of me.

But it’s not because I’m very good, or because I’m socially good.

It’s just because our house was once so good that it was called a local landlord.

What we need to point out precisely here is that it was ‘once’ and ‘it went well’.

So, not now.

After I enlisted in the military, problems with my father’s business arose, and eventually he lost all of his fortune in Holadang, and in the end, he even committed suicide irresponsibly.

Ah, Mr.

I get annoyed when I think of my father again.

The reason I hate my father isn’t because I lost all my fortune.

It’s because of the fact that he died irresponsibly, leaving Mom and me alone.

Of course, it may be said that it was to avoid owing us a debt.

But there were other ways to just run away or get a disguised divorce, so why would there be a reason to risk your life? Because of that shock, her mother had been living in her closet for over two years.

Her mother only looked at her father and lived her life. So, she passed away irresponsibly, so the shock must have been staggering.

When I think of her mother at that time, I still get annoyed at her father.

Anyway, it happened after I moved home after graduating from high school, so no one at the class reunion knew about it. And he seemed to think that I was still living a good life with a little bit somewhere.

When you come to the meeting, look at the cheers and reactions you see in between.

Kim Jisoo, who followed me, probably did the same.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Whoa.”

The night air rushes into your mouth all at once.

The cold air makes me feel a little bit drunk.

Then the phone in my pocket vibrated.

Guess who it is

it’s still mom

– Son, let’s play slowly and have fun today. Mom sleeps first.

You used to work in a restaurant and you just came in.

Even though he works for 12 hours a day, he is not as fragile as he used to be. rather persevering.

– Huh. Sleep first. ‘Cause I’m going to play slowly

– Okay. love. son.

– Oh, it’s strange.

– Well, how are you? I’m a mother.

– Okay, okay.

– Don’t be too late.

– uh.

It’s nice to see her mother looking tired just by texting.

She used to be a childlike mother who didn’t really know anything about the world, but after her father passed away, she changed a lot.

When her father died, she stayed still in the room and cried for a long time, and then one day she suddenly said to me that her tears must have dried up.

“Yoonhwan, at least one of you can feed me no matter what I do. So, did you get it right?”

There was a strong will that he had never seen before in his bulging eyes.

Her mother, who was small and dwarfed, somehow looked taller than she was back then.

Her mother had changed so much, so I had to change too.

Her mother started doing what she could, and in order not to lose to such a mother, she got a job in a suitable factory and was working hard.

University, which took a leave of absence due to her family circumstances, promised that her mother would surely send her back, but it won’t be easy for her. And I also don’t think I have to go back to college.

The bus stop we arrived at was empty.

She said that she would go in while playing, but she unpacks her backpack and rummages while thinking about what to do with her early entry. And he pulled out a book.

This book is about the history of Korean comics.

I borrowed it three times from the local library and have already read it ten more times.

Of course, this isn’t the only thing I’ve read more than ten times.

I think I’ve read all the books about manga in the library.

In particular, I especially like the comics stories about Korea and Japan, so I go to bookstores to read things that are not in the library.

As you might have noticed at this point, I have a very high interest in manga.

It is also a hobby for me that is old enough that there is a testimony from her mother that she liked comic books more than her toys since she was a little girl, even before she knew Hangeul.

There was a time when I dreamed of becoming a cartoonist, and thanks to that, I became interested in not only comic books but anything about comics.

Of course, he gave up halfway due to the fact that he was not talented in drawing, but his hobby has not changed since then. As a result, even when reading books, searching for information on the Internet was focused solely on manga.

I was immersed in this field to the extent that even the trivial stories about cartoonists were a subject of interest to me.

Maybe that’s why, most of the people who knew me called me otakuni or geekhuni.

At least in high school, her mother felt sorry for me, so she often called her friends home to treat her, and even gave her close friends gifts and pocket money.

Thanks to this, I was able to avoid the bullying life because I had a lot of strong friends during my school days, and there are still many children who remember me.

In any case, it was more enjoyable for me to read a book than to play with my friends.

It is dark in the evening, but thanks to the billboard at the bus stop, the text is clearly visible.

I think it’s okay to read a little here and then go slowly.

It must have been some time since I sat on the bench at the bus stop and read a book.

I checked the time and it was almost an hour.

In the meantime, a few buses may have just passed by.

tt

Without realizing it, I clicked my tongue and put the book back into my backpack.

If you keep reading books like this, losing your mind, you might really spend the night here.

But then I hear people screaming.

And soon there’ll be a popping sound.

“···········?”

He looked towards the direction the horn sounded.

A rear car is standing on one side of the road, and a stylish coupe with a shiny blue surface is standing behind it as if it had just been washed.

Bread.

“Oh really! What are you doing on the road! Without cleaning it up quickly!”

A young man shouted from the driver’s seat of the car.

What’s going on?

He gets up from his seat, pulls his hair out, and examines the situation.

You can see cardboard boxes piled up on the road. It was probably spilled from the rear car carrying the box.

The old man in a hat, who seems to be the owner of the rear car, was hurriedly stacking boxes, but it seems difficult to build due to the height.

“Oh, fuck it. pissed off! I’m going to die because I don’t have time, but I’m such a beggar…”

“Oh, why are you like that?”

The passenger’s window is open, and the woman seen there is also annoyed.

But the woman’s face is familiar.

uh? Jisoo Kim?

It was Kim Ji-soo, whom I met at the alumni meeting earlier. But she was sitting in the passenger seat of the car.

But then, Jisoo Kim grumbled and looked away with her arms crossed. And at that moment, our eyes met.

“···································································!

In an instant, her eyes widened and her expression hardened.

Then, as soon as he sees that I am standing at the bus stop, his expression turns cold.

“Oppa, it’s okay, let’s just avoid it.”

“Miss, you’re annoying.”

I heard a rattling sound from inside the car, and then slowly entered the first lane with long vehicles. In addition, vehicles coming from behind slowly enter the first lane and avoid the rear car.

I glanced at the car moving away and smiled.

Looking at me, it seems that Nami Jung has fallen.

Well, I was right.

But it doesn’t really matter. Because I wasn’t interested in the first place.

Even after the noisy car disappears, the surroundings are noisy.

“Wow, it’s really not cheap. what? those people? Isn’t that a bummer?”

“Yeah. Aren’t you pitiful?”

“Oh, Grandpa is a problem. It’s dangerous there.”

“Yeah, I don’t want to be that old no matter how old I am. If that’s the case, you’d better just kill yourself.”

He frowned at the word suicide.

People are gathering and talking about what has just happened.

Then, a car entering the second lane again bangs and sounds its horn.

The old man is still quietly picking up boxes and stacking them on the rear car. There is no one around to help the elderly.

His mouth is pitiful, and there is no one to help, except for talking about trouble.

I want to pretend I don’t know, but I’m still concerned.

“Ttt.”

Thinking he couldn’t do it, he clicked his tongue and walked over to the old man’s place.

As a car approached from behind, he raised my hand to sign me to avoid. Then, he quickly pulled the truck pulled by the old man to the side of the road, and hurriedly picked up the boxes and helped stack them on the truck.

“thank you.”

The old man greeted me, but I just piled up quickly without answering.

It wasn’t because I was particularly kind.

It was just embarrassing to see that something really bad could happen if you stood still, and a terrible thing that could happen in front of your eyes was a car accident.

Immediately, I moved all the boxes and tied them roughly with a thick rubber rope attached to the rear car to prevent them from falling off.
