"Jimin, I'm out."

박지민

Welcome back, sir.

박지민

"What happened to Jihuil...?"

최우현

"It's unfortunate, but... I hear that traces haven't been easily detected for the past three years. It's the same for your mother."

박지민

"O...ah..."

최우현

"I'm sorry. I really wanted to find your family... but I can't."

박지민

"(Smiling faintly) It's okay... I didn't really expect to find it anyway... haha."

박지민

Thank you for recognizing me, Uncle Woohyun.

"Well then, I'm tired... so I'll head inside first. Please rest, sir."

최우현

"Alright. Rest well."

Although he didn't see it directly, Woohyun clearly heard it that day.

The faint crying sound of a boy left all alone.

이수현

"....."

최우현

"...How have you been, Father?"

이수현

As for me... well, you probably already know without me having to say it, but I am still living happily with Woohyun.

이수현

"I know it must be infuriating and infuriating to hear the words of the man who killed your father every year... but still, I am your son."

이수현

"I hate my father so much, and I loathe him so much that I don't even want to speak of him as a human being. Of course... I'm sure he feels the same way. Who would have known that he would be killed by the son he raised with such care?"

이수현

"......"

이수현

"You might be unlucky, but I absolutely do not regret it. Because it was the right path. That said... the work I am doing now isn't exactly a pleasant one, either. After all, I chose the same path as my father."

이수현

"And... not long ago... I heard Woohyun adopted a son. That guy is really stubborn. He's 40 and still not married, just like that..."

이수현

"...."

이수현

"....I have nothing more to say. I will visit you again next year. In the meantime... please rest well, Father."

이수현

"....."

I am truly... sorry, my readers. Please punish me, a writer who said I would return around April 12th but returned on May 13th.

Yes... anyway, now that my school life has stabilized a lot and I have plenty of free time, I have come here to pull myself together and write.
