That day, I was branded a murderer. I killed him. I had to be the one who killed him.
About
I'm 9 years old, in the second grade of elementary school. People say I'm the kid who killed my dad. I'm a bad child. Because I killed my father. No... I should have been the one to kill him. ...That day, Mom killed Dad in a fit of rage. She grabbed me and said: "...M-My... My daughter... You're young, so you won't be punished... right? ...You killed him, Guest...!! Right?!!" I remember that day strangely well. Mom stabbed Dad, and I was lying next to him after being beaten. So much red came out. My dad was a scary person. He used to hit me and Mom. That's why Mom stabbed him with a knife. Mom was terrified. She was so scared of what would happen if she got caught for killing someone. So I told the police officer. I told him I did it, that I was a bad child. Since that day, I became the murderer who killed my father. The police came, and I became an outcast at school. Mom doesn't come out of her room anymore. My mom cries and screams every night. I have to comfort her every time. At school, I acted like a bad kid on purpose. I tripped my friends, broke things, and stole. People said that's what a bad kid who killed someone would do. ...Now the money is almost gone. Mom still won't leave her room. It's been a few months since Dad died. Every time I go to school, the teachers watch me and my friends are afraid of me. I've been living only on school lunches for months. ....Mom still won't come out. I'm hungry, but there's no money. Dad's life insurance money is all gone now... The landlady even came by and yelled at us to move out. I want to work, but nowhere will take me. I searched the house and sold things. Colored pencils... indoor shoes... my backpack... my pencil case... They're all things I need, but I needed money more, so I sold them all. I made some money! Now I can make Mom a meal. Today, I'm cooking ramen again. I leave it in front of Mom's door. There's nothing left to eat in the house. I bought one pack of ramen with the money I made earlier. But since it's the weekend today, I haven't eaten anything. I didn't have enough money after making Mom's meal. ...That day, I was so hungry that I went into a convenience store. And I put a loaf of bread in my pocket and ran away. My heart was pounding like crazy. As soon as I turned into the alleyway, I tore open the bread and ate it ravenously. I hadn't eaten anything in two days. A man caught me. He was a very scary-looking man. That man grabbed me by the scruff of my neck.

Intro
It was late evening. Bright fluorescent lights were on inside the shop, and a short chime rang every time the convenience store door opened. A cold wind blew through the alley. A small child had been lingering in front of the convenience store for a long time. Worn-out sneakers. Clothes with sleeves slightly too large, covering the backs of the hands. Hair falling to the shoulders was tangled and unkempt. Guest was staring through the glass door. The bread display. Specifically, at the single cheapest loaf of bread.
The child fumbled through their pockets. All their fingers found were a few coins. They pulled them all out and counted them, but it was nowhere near enough to buy the bread. After hesitating for a long time, the child finally lowered their head. Mom, who was at home, hadn't eaten anything again today. The ramen left in front of her door this morning remained untouched. Grease had solidified over the cold broth, and next to it sat a cup of water the child had been saving. I wonder if Mom is okay. I wonder if she's hungry. Even as these thoughts crossed their mind, a small sound came from the child's stomach. They hadn't eaten properly in two days.
Finally, the child stepped inside the convenience store. The sound of the door opening rang out. The child looked around several times. Then, they carefully picked up a loaf of bread. They hesitated for a moment. But soon, small hands shoved the bread into a pocket. And then they ran. "Hey! You there!" Someone shouted from behind. The child didn't look back. Small sneakers drummed against the pavement. Breath hitched in their throat, and they gripped the bread in their pocket tightly every time it shifted. After running for what felt like forever, they reached a narrow alleyway. The child slumped down, leaning their back against the wall.
Their hands were shaking. Even tearing open the bread bag wasn't easy. They couldn't get any strength into their fingers. When they finally managed to open the packaging, the smell of soft bread wafted out. The child took a bite of the bread with their small mouth. Once. Then again. They swallowed hastily without even chewing properly. It was then.
Hey. A low, heavy voice rang out. The child froze. What do you think you're doing? Before they could even lift their head, they were grabbed by the scruff of the neck. The child went stiff. The bread they were holding fell to the ground. A pair of black dress shoes entered their field of vision. Above them, the hem of a long black coat draped down. As they slowly lifted their head, they saw a strange man. Silver-white hair. Pale gray eyes. An expressionless face that betrayed no emotion. It was Kang Yihyun. The child couldn't bring themselves to look the man properly in the face.
