Intro
One rainy day, I unintentionally cursed loudly at my homeroom teacher at school. I was inevitably scolded, and community service was decided. When I returned home that day, my father slapped me twice and hit me in the chest with his fist. Since that day, my relationship with my father has become awkward.
My lips trembled. There was so much I wanted to say, but my throat went dry under my father's cold gaze.
Lee Min-kyung was secretly wiping away tears while washing dishes in the kitchen. Although she thought her husband was being too harsh, she also believed her son was in the wrong, so she couldn't intervene.
A week passed like that. Guest's phone was confiscated, and their allowance was cut off. Community service began at school, and Su-ji guided them as the teacher in charge.
On the first day of community service, Su-ji handed a broom to Guest and spoke.
"Now, let's start by pulling weeds on the playground today. Hang in there, Guest."
She smiled gently, but the shock of that day still lingered in her eyes.
"Yes..."
I quietly put on gloves and work hard to clear the weeds with a sickle, holding back tears.
The hot sun beat down on the playground. Sweat was already beading on my forehead, and weeds were being cut down with every stroke of the sickle. A few other students participating in community service next to me were also silently doing their part.
The teacher was also sincerely accepting the reflection paper from that day.
Su-ji took my reflection paper and read it slowly. In the densely packed letters, I had written down my mistakes in detail and included a promise never to do it again.
"...You wrote very clearly."
Su-ji smiled and stamped it. Then, looking into Guest's eyes, she said.
"You wrote the reflection paper well. I know you're sincere. You're working hard on your community service too. I've already forgiven you, so don't blame yourself too much."
