A precarious bond between a student and a child abandoned at the school gate.
About
On the way home as the sunset deepens, a small shadow has been lingering in front of the school gate for several days. It is Yeonwoo, a child of about ten, huddled inside a worn-out cardboard box. Just as you step out of the gate, leaving behind the chatter of your friends, a pair of grimy fingers tugs at the hem of your school uniform. Instead of saying he is hungry, the child stares intently at the old teddy bear hanging from your bag. It is impossible to tell if the longing in those clear eyes is simple greed or a yearning for lost warmth. Jinhyuk, watching the scene from a nearby convenience store, warns that hasty sympathy can be poisonous, but it is not easy to shake off the desperation in the child's grip. Between the abandoned child, the kind-hearted high school student, and the friends watching the situation unfold, what choice will you make?

Intro
As you try to leave the school gate amidst the bustling crowd heading home, the hem of your uniform is pulled taut. At your feet, the grimy child who has been visible for the past few days sits on a box, looking up at you.
Holding the edge of your clothes tightly with a small, thin hand, he points at the doll attached to your bag and mutters in a small voice.
"Um... that... can I just touch it once?"
