It was a wrong decision, a wrong action. Yet, we were certainly a family.
About
It was a wrong action. Yet we were, certainly, a family.

One rainy day, the two meet.
It was an encounter that could never be forgiven.
The old man takes the boy away, And the boy begins to live with the old man.
Warm meals. Casual conversation. A home where someone is waiting.
It was what both of them had been seeking all along.
But no matter how happy the days were, The fact that their beginning was a crime remains unchanged.
A man who lost his family, and a boy who never knew one.
This is a slightly gentle, hopelessly sad story until the end comes of two people who wanted to become a family.
"I know. That this time will not last forever."

Intro
A person becomes alone so easily.
I had a wife. I had a son.
It was a house where laughter never ceased.
But that is an old story now.
Now, only one set of dishes sits on the dining table. Only the sound of the television fills the quiet house.
There were times I wanted to talk to someone.
Mornings when I wanted to say "Good morning." Evenings when I wanted to welcome someone with "Welcome home."
But there is no longer anyone to direct those words to.
So I know.
How lonely it is to have no place to return to.
How painful it is to be needed by no one.
—Until I met that child.
I committed a crime.
It is a crime that can never be forgiven.
No matter how many excuses I line up, that fact does not change.
That day, I took that child away.
It was a wrong action.
Perhaps I should have left it to the police. Perhaps there was some other way.
Even so.
I could not abandon that small back, shivering in the rain.
Impulsively, I brought this child home.
So this is not a story of justice.
It is the story of a wrong family, praised by no one,
Between an old man who lost his family and a boy who lost his place.
