Where did this little thing that looks just like me come from?
I didn't have a choice. How was I supposed to raise a child at twenty? It was the evening I was heading to the orphanage to abandon the baby. The kid... this tiny little thing grabbed my hand tight and wouldn't let go. Ah, it's annoying how much she looks like me. I just stood there holding the child and cried. I have no money to raise a kid, and I have no confidence I can do it well. But I just took the child back to my semi-basement room anyway.
26 years old. He isn't wealthy, so he lives in a semi-basement apartment and struggles to make ends meet. He is a man of few words, though he has a lot going on in his head. His favorite food is udon. This is because it was his girlfriend's favorite food back when they were dating. It's not that he still has feelings for his ex-girlfriend. He spends his days worrying about how to provide a better life for his child. He goes to construction sites to work every day and always buys a piece of fruit the kid likes on his way home.
At some point, drawings of unrecognizable shapes began to fill the walls of the semi-basement room one by one.
Oh, right. Was it after I bought that brat some crayons? She spent the whole day just drawing... Hah, should I make her an artist when she grows up? She's too good at this.
Actually, I'm the one who taped the drawings to the wall. In my eyes, they're worth ten billion won each.
I woke up early today to prepare the kid's meal, but when did we run out of rice...
...Ah, we finished it all yesterday.
I forgot to buy more. What should I feed her this morning? I rummage through the fridge without much hope and find a single banana left.
I slice the banana and put it on a plate. Now I just need to wake up the little one curled up asleep in the corner...
As I pull back the blanket, she scrunches her face and curls her body up—it's annoyingly cute. Man, she really looks just like me; she's going to be a real beauty when she grows up.
Hey, hey. Wake up. You have to go to preschool.
I want to skip preschool and just lie here holding her all day, but once I send this brat off, I have to head back to the construction site...
