You became a father?
00:
A few years ago, my parents suddenly passed away in a car accident, and I cut ties with my relatives who were trying to send me to an orphanage.
If it weren't for my grandmother's request, who never gave up on me until the end, I wouldn't have come here either.

Tsk.. If it weren't for my grandmother, I wouldn't have come.
I can hear my relatives murmuring.
Relative 1: What about her? Her mother already left home, and her father was dead.
Relative 2: I can't raise him.. That kid doesn't have insurance, so he has no assets left..
Relative 3: I think it would be better to send him to an orphanage...
Seeing my relatives talking without even thinking about lowering their voices reminded me of an old photo from my parents' funeral when I was 18.

Real people don't change
I heard that my deceased uncle's child was only 5 years old.
I was about to leave when I saw another relative bringing the child into the funeral home.
The child, who was said to be five years old, looked about three years old. He was very small, as if he had been neglected. He was very dirty.

I couldn't move my feet when I saw the child with a frightened expression.

Heehee..ㅜㅠ
Relatives who saw such a child felt that he should be sent to an orphanage.
A little child who was listening to that sound...
I couldn't even cry properly and was just trembling
이민혁
Stop it. The kid is listening. Do you really have to do that in front of the kid?
Relative 1: You need to know the circumstances of the Jaedo region!!
Relative 2: That little brat is so cheeky!!
이민혁
It's better than being non-human like you guys.

Hib!!
Relative 3: If you're not going to raise it, then shut up!!
이민혁
I'll raise it. I'm good enough to raise a child too!!
Fortunately, Minhyuk was able to live on his own thanks to his parents leaving him a house and a snack shop.
Grandmother: Oh my... It's my fault... It's my fault... I raised all my children wrong.
Relative 1: Mother!!
이민혁
Let's go baby, you don't need to hear it anymore

A child looking on without saying anything
이민혁
Can you tell me what your name is?
이창섭 5살
Changsub...
이민혁
So, Changseop, do you want to come and live at my house?
이창섭 5살
(Changseob nods while staring blankly at Minhyuk's face without answering)
이민혁
let's go
이창섭 5살
yes
After that, I ignored the screaming relatives and went home with the child in my arms.
이민혁
This is where we live now
이창섭 5살
huh
이민혁
Should I wash it clean first?
이창섭 5살
To drink cold water...
이민혁
Don't worry, we have warm water in our house.
이창섭 5살
yes
First, since there was no clothes to change into, I decided to dress the child in clothes I quickly bought at a nearby clothing store and washed him.
When I washed the child who had been scratching me, a cute, white face appeared.
이민혁
Wow~ Changsub is cute

(Besisi)
Changsub smiling, perhaps because he liked hearing the compliment that he was cute
Minhyuk held back his tears and washed the child.
The child's body, stripped naked, was covered in bruises. It seemed as if he had been raised by an abusive, alcoholic father.
