domestic violence

Ep.4

Doa sits quietly on the rooftop, dazed.
Then it rains

- ... Mom, it seems like it's been a while since I've seen you..ㅎ Mom, why did you leave me behind back then...? Why did you save me back then..? You should have lived well with Dad somehow...! Why did you save me.. Why!! ... Mom, should I follow you...? I'm only in 3rd year of middle school. I'm still at an age where I should be taking a step closer to achieving my dreams.. Why do I already have such thoughts... Mom. I miss you.

Doa just cries there, looking at the sky.

- ...Mom, I'll just follow you.

Doa was sitting on the railing.

- 'Ha... Won-do, this is enough for me to live like this.'

Doa is trying to have sex.

Just then, someone opened the rooftop door and shouted.

"Hey Wondo!!!"

- ...Lee Sang-hyeok?

"Hey... what are you doing there? Come down quickly."

Sanghyuk's hands are shaking.

- ...no

"Ha.. Hey, come down quickly!!"

- I don't want to!! You... You don't know how hard it is for me!!!

"I know. I know how hard it is, so... please come down, Doah..."

- ... Will anything change if I go down?

"Oh, something's changed... So please come down... I beg you..."

- under...

Doa looks back and forth between Sanghyuk and the sky, then climbs down from the railing.

"...Do-ah!!"

Sanghyuk runs to Doah and hugs her.

- Ugh...ugh... Lee Sang-hyuk... I'm so tired... I want to play normally with my kids and live while being loved by my parents... But... why can't I do that..? What did I do!! What the heck!! What did I...what did I...do wrong...

Doa cries so hard she almost collapses.

"Hey... Wondo, calm down."

As Doa cries more, the rain falls harder and faster. And then, about 40 minutes later.

- ....

"Have you calmed down a bit...?"

- ...Yeah, sorry.. Your clothes got wet because of me. I'll wash them for you.

"No, it's okay."
"..."

"Do-ah. What kind of pain did you experience before to make you do this...?"

- ...

"Sorry, you don't have to answer."

- ...I was subjected to domestic violence.

"...what?"

Sanghyuk's heart sinks.

"...it must have been very difficult."

- Huh?... Are you listening to me...?

"Of course"

"I don't think you're the kind of person who would lie."

- Lee Sang-hyeok.

"... huh?"

- Thank you always for helping me.

"What the heck"

- ...

"It must have been hard, right? It's okay to be hard."

- I want to do that too... but I don't want to be ignored for being depressed again.

"It's just me now... It's okay."

Doa vents her anger again.
Doa becomes calm and speaks to Sanghyuk.

- Hey, Lee Sang-hyeok.

"huh?"

-...Shall I show you my face?

"Huh? Really?"

- Yeah.. haha ​​I think you can show me

Doa slowly takes off her hat.

"...!"

(I used a photo of Karina from Aespa!)

- Is it very strange?

"Wow... No?"

- Then is it okay...?

"Yeah. It's pretty."
