| That day was just a clear day. Nothing special about it. I was heading to work just like any other day. My workplace was a bit far from home, so I had to move quickly. But then, a variable appeared. Looking back, I don't know why I was so meddlesome... . . . . | The whole story started at a four-way intersection crosswalk. Drained from fatigue, I was standing at the crosswalk with an iced americano, waiting for the light to change. Then, I saw a child wandering around dangerously by himself. He looked to be only about 4 or 5 years old, and being alone made him look vulnerable. I looked around for a moment to see where his parents were, when suddenly... the kid stepped into the crosswalk...;;;; Okay, fine, even if a child enters a crosswalk, you can just bring them back. But the problem was that a truck was coming from over there..!!!! If I jumped in now, I could save the child, but I couldn't guarantee my own life. Ha, I don't know where that courage came from. Regardless of the truck coming, I threw aside my americano and everything I was holding and started running...??..? I haven't run this fast in my life since elementary school... I ran and snatched the child up, hugging him and rolling onto the ground. Honk—!! The truck came to a sudden stop with a massive horn sound, and the child was safe. The problem was me. As I fell, my clothes were scraped against the asphalt, and my knees and arms were bleeding.. Still, I was so relieved it ended without a major accident. Well.. but what could I do even after experiencing something like this? I'm a K-worker after all... I sent the child to the police station, wrote down a few personal details, and went to work just like that. No accident occurred, and above all, there was an important project... This wasn't even enough to count as a reason for absence, so I ended up going to work. . . . . | I arrived at work in a mess, having only received basic first aid at the police station. I was working for a while when things got noisy, so I asked the colleague next to me what was going on. I was wondering if the company's stock price went up or something... The CEO came to our department personally...? And he even pointed me out 'specifically'....... I didn't know at this point... that the CEO was that child's older brother... and that he would become so obsessed with me...
