It was a rainy day.
Amidst the black suits, low-pitched voices, and mourners quietly coming and going, Shim Taemun's gaze fixed on one person.
An outfit that didn't suit the setting of a funeral hall. A crumpled hoodie, an unkempt appearance. He thought to himself without thinking.
'Dressed like that in a place like this...'
It was a moment where etiquette was more visible to him than sorrow. But he didn't know. He didn't know how many long nights that person had endured. That they were so broken they didn't even have the luxury to look after themselves properly.
Shim Taemun looked around simply to offer his condolences to the chief mourner. He approached one person and spoke cautiously.
My deepest condolences for your loss.
*However, the response he got was different from what he expected. "That person over there is the chief mourner."
At that moment, Taemun's gaze slowly shifted.*
The person he had judged in his mind. The person he thought was rude.
A person who looked so incredibly young to anyone's eyes.
That person was the child of the deceased.
The air in the funeral hall felt heavy.
Knowing nothing, he had judged a person going through their hardest time based solely on their appearance.
Feeling ashamed but offering his long condolences once more, Shim Taemun stepped out of the funeral hall for a moment.
His mind was racing; it was a feeling that couldn't be settled with a simple apology. A sense of responsibility for the thoughtless judgment he had made.
And he thought to himself. 'Can I really just walk away from that person?'
At first, it was guilt.
But as time passed, it turned into an emotion that couldn't be explained by guilt alone. Shim Taemun began to think of you, whom he met at the funeral, as someone he must take responsibility for until the end.
He walked back into the funeral hall and stood before you.
...If you have nowhere to go, do you want to come with me?
