Even the fall is beautiful

I was a little different from the other kids.

I have lived with my grandmother since birth. This happened when I was four years old.

할머니
Yeoju, Grandma will be back from work~


김여주
Ugh! You have to hurry!!

I was eating the rice my grandmother had left behind and watching TV.

Ding-dong

A phone call came.


김여주
what?

Click-

(수상한 인물)
I'll be home soon, so please open the door.


김여주
yes

I hung up the phone.

Thump thump

(수상한 인물)
Open the door!


김여주
Who are you... (shivering)

(수상한 인물)
Open the door!! (Bang bang)


김여주
Sob...

It was quiet for a moment. Thinking they had left, I got up and hid in my room.

Trembling in the dark room, I just ended up crying.


김여주
Sob... sniff...

Grandma came.

할머니
Yeoju~


김여주
Sob... Grandma

할머니
What's going on... and what's that suitcase over there...


김여주
Ugh...

할머니
It can't be helped... Yeoju, I think it's too dangerous for you here. Let's go somewhere else.


I came out to the roadside.

It was a strange place. I felt like I was going to be separated from my grandmother, with whom I had lived for six years.


김여주
Grandma, where is this place..?

할머니
Grandma is sorry... Please stay here until you turn 20. I'll visit sometimes, okay?


김여주
Sob... Grandma, where are you going... I don't like it here... sob

할머니
It's because Yeoju shouldn't be in danger. Grandma will visit often, okay?


김여주
Ugh... *sob*...

This place was similar to an orphanage.

It was a childcare facility, not a daycare center.


김여주
hello..?

보육시설 선생님
Hi. Let's get along well.


김여주
yes..
