LLU 49
“…Sorry.” Kim Junwoo obediently pulled away and bowed his head. The ears of the kid, who was stammering out an apology, had turned bright red. He roughly scratched the back of his neck and then bowed his head deeply again. “I… fuck… ha…. You’re already going through so much.” The kid couldn’t continue speaking. Neither I nor Kim Junwoo could look each other in the eye. The bodies that had been pressed so closely together now faced the gently approaching waves. Tap, tap. He…-

LLU 48
Come to think of it, I had said the same thing to my mother yesterday. That fact felt distant, almost like a dream. The heavy truth I had been groaning under and carrying alone for months—I was spilling it out here and there in just one night. It felt so futile that it was almost funny. “And, I…” I slowly stuck out my tongue and licked my stinging lips. Thump, thump, thump. My heart began pounding so hard it felt like it was sinking. I raised both hands and covered my heated face. Slowly…-

LLU 47
The corners of my mouth, which had been trying to form a smile, twitched miserably. My trembling lips finally couldn’t hold back the surging resentment and let out a hot breath. Tears quickly pooled in my eyes. “Hey, you jerk…” Kim Junwoo awkwardly pulled me into his arms. And he patted and stroked my back. Wrapped in the warmth of someone who was genuinely worried about me after such a long time, I could no longer hold back. It felt like I had turned into a crybaby. Just like when I had…-

LLU 46
It was something I couldn’t help but worry about my mother; it was an impulse I couldn’t go against. But I had decided to stop throwing my life as bait to Choi Junghan out of fear that my mother might get hurt. No—I had to stop. Even my mother, who gave birth to me and raised me, had pushed me down from her list of priorities. If I didn’t take responsibility for myself, there would be no one left to look after or care for my life. Right now, surviving safely from Choi Junghan had to come before…-

LLU 45
What my mother’s crying contained was clearly a polite refusal of my suggestion that we all run away together. It just couldn’t come out as words. In the face of the distant future of a child who hasn’t even arrived yet and the long, endless years of endurance that would come upon my mother, what exactly were the obvious abuse and pain I had already suffered? Were they nothing to my mother? If so, then what on earth was my existence to my mother… What exactly had all the foolish endurance I…-

LLU 44
How should I put it into words. “…What?” The fleeting moment that passed before my mother asked me that in return. Loud music and people’s chatter pour into my ears. I sit motionless like I’ve turned into a statue, silently taking in every change in my mother’s expression. Her widely opened eyes, her trembling lips, and her pupils slowly enlarging as they fill with shock. Gradually, the noise ringing in my ears fades. As if my hearing has gone completely white. Yet at the same time,…-

LLU 43
The atmosphere turned icy cold, as if someone had poured cold water over it. A short silence passed. My mother seemed to have read the tremor in my voice. Realizing that something was seriously wrong, she nodded with a bewildered expression. “Okay, let’s go out. Honey, it looks like Woonie has something he wants to talk to me about.” “Hm...” Chairman Choi looked unmistakably displeased. It was understandable from his perspective—finally gathered together, yet leaving before properly…-

LLU 42
“Mr. Junghan, thank you so much. You’ve been taking such good care of Oonie. I heard Oonie even canceled the dormitory. I’m not sure if that’s too much of a burden.” “What burden? Oonie’s not a child; he’ll manage fine on his own. Come on, let’s all go in. We should eat dinner.” “But what about the baby…?” My voice rang out awkwardly amid the bustling atmosphere. My mother smiled at my question like a fully bloomed flower. “Mmm, the baby is sleeping with the sitter…-

LLU 41
Even at the very least, don’t people take their pet dogs kept at home out for regular walks? Choi Junghan is truly viciously unwilling to let me out into the outside world. Of course, I also think that not going out at all is a hundred times better than walking side by side with Choi Junghan among those flowering trees. “Want to go look at the flowers at least?” Choi Junghan approached holding two mugs and asked in a kind tone. I glanced at him. He had just showered and was wearing comfortable…-

LLU 40
“Arrived...” Before the driver could even fully stop the car, I tossed a 50,000-won bill at him as if throwing it and flung the door open. Leaving behind the driver shouting “Student! Your change!” I ran into the hospital like a madman. Having been confined in a room without moving for so long, my calf bones already ached after just a few steps. My legs quickly cramped up tightly, and my breathing became ragged and labored. But there was no time to mock my drastically reduced stamina.…-
