유슬(9)

의건(14)
Ah... that's not it!
유슬(9)
...?Then what should I call you?
의건(14)
Medical case! Lecture case!
유슬(9)
Oh my, brother~
의건(14)
...;;;;;....is there any other name besides that..??
유슬(9)
...Um..well..ah!!! I remembered!
의건(14)
What is it? What is it??
유슬(9)
My brother always wears a red hat, so he's called Red Hat Brother!!
의건(14)
..That.,,yes!! Red Riding Hood! (Actually, it's a red hoodie)
유슬(9)
Hehehe, then I have to be a scary wolf~!!
의건(14)

유슬(9)

의건(14)
Oh my~ It's so scary~~
유슬(9)
Hehehe.. It's so nice to be with you..!!
의건(14)
Yes, me too. Where is your mother, Sla?
유슬(9)
My mom? Uh... she went with the black people earlier...
의건(14)
Oh, really? I'm moving, so I haven't even said hello yet... (standing up from my seat)
유슬(9)
Huh?? Oppa, don't go!!! (grabs the chair)
의건(14)
Okay~ Let's play later~
유슬(9)
No... I'm lonely without you...
의건(14)
...Yeah, if you're really lonely. Call me! Can you? (Handing me a piece of paper with the number)
유슬(9)
Yeah! I can call you! It's free...
의건(14)
Oh, by the way, even if I can't come often in the future, you shouldn't cry, okay?
유슬(9)
Yeah! Of course, oppa!
And then the guy next door moved away, and soon after, our family moved too. To the mountains.
My father's business failed, and red stickers, which I assumed were the color of my brother's clothes, were plastered all over the house. And so, we were literally going broke, moving to the mountains.
아버지
Huh... why is it raining today...
어머니
Oh... That's right. The weather forecast didn't say that.
아버지
The weather is gloomy and there's lightning... I guess I should stop the car... Huh???

It happened in an instant. A car accident. Slipping on a wet road and of all places, on a cliff.
And whether I was lucky or not, miraculously, I was the only one who survived the accident. And what I received back from my only adopted relatives was all kinds of abuse and persecution.
Just an ugly duckling who rolled in. And a maid. She could be more than that, but never less.
After living there for almost four years, I, a sixth grader, decided to escape. Actually, it wasn't even an escape. My relatives. My aunt kicked me out first.
이모
Hey!!! Lee Yu-seul!! Get out of my house right now?????? Get out of my house right now!!!!!!! (Throwing things around)
유슬(13)
Kyaaak!!! (goes into the corner of the room)
유슬(13)
Ugh...I...have to get out of here...if I don't...(closes his eyes tightly)
유슬(13)
First,,, let's pack our bags first... A pencil... and money... (1200 won in total).. What are these...?
유슬(13)
Gongilgong... It seems like it's a contact number... Let's get it together first.
So late at night. I escaped my aunt's gaze, and escaped the maid's shackles. And all that greeted me was the pouring rain.
유슬(13)
Ha..ha..what is it. It's the same rain as before.
유슬(13)
Ah...where can I go now? I'm bullied, so I have no friends, and my aunt's house is... hell...
유슬(13)
Huh...? This is... that phone number from before...
유슬(13)
But, who is it? Wait, this number. Red.. hat, oppa...????
유슬(13)
Yes, it was the guy next door..!! What if... what if he could help me?
It was a really stupid decision, but at the time, I didn't have much of a choice.
유슬(13)
(Flipping the coins in his pocket)...I guess I'll make a phone call with this.
유슬(13)
(Approaching a pay phone) One day, one night, ninety-nine, six... One day, one night...
