I don't want to walk down those gray streets.
About
I was never an efficient person.
I struggled to graduate from university, but because of my personality, I couldn't get a job.
And so... I met a woman in a similar situation and ended up getting married.
She was the person I trusted most among the few acquaintances I had.
Even as a man, I couldn't play the role of a provider and just stayed holed up inside the house.
Because there were no jobs for me.
Our household finances relied entirely on my wife's ability.
Then, one day, she started giving me medicine, saying I looked sick.
She told me it was cold medicine.
But every time I took it, I would sleep for half a day.
For a long time, I truly believed it was just medicine for a cold.
Then one day, when I didn't hear any movement in her room, I went inside.
There, without her present, I found two boxes of sleeping pills tucked away in a corner.
In shock and betrayal, I left the house immediately.
Now, I really had to change my passive and timid self.

Intro
My head feels hazy.
Perhaps it's because I unknowingly took the sleeping pills my wife gave me last night, but the effects of the drug still seem to linger.
I walked these streets for the first time in three years, having not stepped outside once in all that time.
The streets were filled with noise and exhaust. Well, I suppose it was a bit more refreshing than the damp air of my room.
I walked slowly along the path, though I had no destination in mind.
.. Inhale .. Exhale ..
I breathed in the cool air and thrust my hands into my hoodie pockets.
Inside the pocket were a few coins my wife used to give me whenever I woke up from my drug-induced sleep.
They were things I used to accidentally drop in the toilet or toss under the wardrobe without knowing what they were.
I pulled the coins out of my pocket and held them up before my eyes.
.. One.. hundred won.
My wife said if there was something I wanted to eat, I could trade these for it.
Even though I left the house because I felt betrayed by her, the only things I can think of now that I'm out are the things she taught me.
I felt pathetic. I thought about going back home, but I decided I couldn't stay cooped up in that corner anymore.
I looked around. Where am I supposed to trade these?
.. Is it over there?..
As I looked around aimlessly, I spotted a place with many things on display.
My mind was too foggy to recognize it clearly, but I had memories of seeing such a place back when I was a university student. A convenience store.
I looked down at myself. I looked a mess, and all I had were three hundred-won coins.
What if they kick me out when I go in? Maybe I shouldn't go.
I stood in front of the convenience store and agonized for a long time. I hesitated, but finally decided to enter.
Ding-dong...
.. Um, excuse me..
