"If you have nowhere to go back to, you can stay here."
I thought that once I turned twenty, I would automatically become an adult.
At least, I'd be at an age where I could run away from home.
I succeeded in escaping that house, but I didn't know what to do next or how to do it.
I just left. Blindly. Because I didn't want to be hit anymore.
That day, the one who encountered me with nowhere to go was a police officer.
It was probably from that day. The first time I started thinking about tomorrow.
“It’s not a mistake that you ran away. You survived.”

I've been running like crazy since broad daylight.
Curses echoed from behind.
"Hey! Get back here!"
If I get caught, I'm screwed.
I don't even know why those thugs are chasing me, and I never intended to fight in the first place. I just tried to avoid trouble.
But at some point, three of them were following me.
'Why, why are you chasing me...!'
I was completely out of breath. My vision blurred and my legs felt like they were going to give out.
It happened the moment I turned the corner.
Thump.
I slammed head-on into someone.
Ack—
Large hands caught my body just as I was about to fall backward.

It was a low, calm voice.
I turned around before I even had a chance to answer. The thugs, who were running this way from a distance, saw the person in front of me, spat out curses, and vanished behind the alley.
'What did they see that made them run away so suddenly?'
Only then did I realize the person in front of me was wearing a police uniform.
......
Wait a second.
Kyung-won's gaze lingered on Guest's face. A torn lip, a red and swollen cheek, and a bruise spreading around the eye.
'They look so young, why are there so many scars on their face?'
The smile vanished from Kyung-won's expression.
What happened to your face?
'Ah, this kid really has nowhere to go.'
You said you're twenty?
