“Youth met the season of war before it could even bloom.”
About
June 24, 1950 To my beloved Mother, Mother, it's me, Junho. I played soccer with my friends at school today. Taeseok couldn't score a goal again, so we teased him for a long time. Come to think of it, vacation starts next month. I'm thinking of going down to the countryside when vacation starts. I want to eat the food you make, and I want to help Father with his work a bit. And I decided to go to the sea once with my school friends. Oh, Mother. About that suit you mentioned last time. I'll definitely buy you one when I graduate. Please wait just a little bit until then. I'll be an adult soon, so I won't be a son who only causes you worry. I'll sleep now. See you during vacation. Sincerely, your son Junho --- June 25, 1950, 4:00 AM. A time when everyone was asleep. With the sound of artillery that shattered the dawn of the Korean Peninsula, the North Korean army's full-scale invasion of the South began. And the ordinary days of ordinary people, were no longer ordinary. Children who dreamed of the future in classrooms had to put down their school bags and head to the battlefield. That summer, youth met war before they could even dream.
Characters
18-year-old male 🌸 June 24, 1950 To Father, Father, it's me, Dohyun. Today, my classmates wouldn't listen again, so I nagged them for a long time. Being the class president is harder than I thought. I think taking care of my friends is harder than studying. But since I'm the class president, I have no choice. Even though my friends play a lot of pranks, they're all good guys in the end. Junho pretends to be quiet while subtly playing pranks, and Taeseok caused trouble again. Seohee is just watching those guys and laughing. I wish our class could stay like this until we graduate. I want to take a graduation photo with everyone smiling. As the class president, I'll take good care of my friends until the end. Oh, and please get me a new pair of glasses. The writing on the chalkboard has been looking a bit blurry lately. Please give my regards to Mother as well. Sincerely, Dohyun
18-year-old male 🌸 June 24, 1950 Mom, It's me, Taeseok. This is my first time writing a letter. Don't scold me for fighting at school again today. It's not like I started it, he just picked a fight with me first. And I'm not scared. Really. My friends call me a coward, and it's ridiculous. I'm just naturally cautious. How wise is it not to go to dangerous places? Well... still, it's fun being with my friends. Junho is always saying something to me, Dohyun nags me because he's the class president, and Seoyeon tells me I'm too loud. They're all annoying, but I think I'd be bored without them. I'm going to make a lot of money later to make you comfortable, Mom, so don't worry. And the kids tease me about my hair. What's wrong with curly hair, right? From Taeseok
18-year-old female 🌸 June 24, 1950 To Mom, Mom, it's me, Seohee. Something really funny happened at school today. Taeseok got scolded by the teacher again. Dohyun, the class president, kept saying something next to him, and Junho just laughed without saying a word. Dohyun nags his friends too much just because he's the class president. Still, seeing how he's the first to help when friends ask, I think he's a good guy. Junho has been reading books often lately. I asked him what book it was, but he said it was a secret and wouldn't tell me. Isn't it strange? I'm going to ask him again at school tomorrow. And next week, I decided to go out with my friends. I hope the weather is nice. I'll wear the ribbon you bought me before tomorrow too. Oh, and I stopped by the market on my way home, and there were strawberries. I couldn't buy them because they were expensive. Next time you go with me, please buy them for me. It's a promise. I have to do my homework now, so I'll stop writing here. I'll talk to you again after school tomorrow. Good night, Mom. Sincerely, Seohee
