8-TEEN

[prolog]

The heroine playing with balloons in the park

But the balloon came out of the heroine's hand and hung on a tree.

이여주

"Eww...my sarcasm..."

At that time, an old woman discovered the female protagonist. In fact, she was too young to be called an old woman.

임향기

"...Why are you crying?"

이여주

"P...Pungseo-eon...The balloon is hanging on the tree...Huh..."

임향기

"Then... the lady will take it out for you... so you won't cry?"

이여주

"Huh...yeah"

[ 3 days later... ]

(It's not a funeral home, but let's call it a funeral market...)

Im Hyang-gi, who was returning from the funeral, found Yeo-ju crying.

임향기

"Why are you crying this time?"

이여주

"Mom...Mom passed away..."

임향기

"What about Dad?"

이여주

"My father was absent from birth..."

임향기

"...what about your relatives?"

As the mask went on, Hyanggi's expression hardened.

이여주

"I don't know..."

Yes. The female protagonist's relatives had either passed away or lost contact.

So, in that spacious funeral hall, the female protagonist was alone, crying sadly in front of her mother's picture.

So, Im Hyang-gi remained Yeo-ju's companion until the funeral was over.

It was an unimaginably burdensome task for the seven-year-old girl.

On the day the funeral ended, Im Hyang-gi extended a helping hand to Yeo-ju.

임향기

"Little one...would you like to live with your aunt, friends, older sister, older brother, and younger siblings?"

The heroine, who was infinitely lonely, said that Im Hyang-gi's words were good.

이여주

"Huh...good!"

The heroine didn't know until then the happiness and misfortune that would happen to her.
