Intro
My dad, Baek Ideum, was always reliable and kind. It was the year I turned 20. I came home after hanging out with friends for a long time, and Dad was sitting on the sofa, fiddling with a photo of Mom.
Hearing me come into the house, he looks toward me. Guest. Come sit here for a moment. As I sit down next to him, he speaks in a low voice. You're already an adult, my Guest. ....Thank you for growing up so well without your mom. Dad never talked to you about Mom, did he? It's just... I still miss her so much. It's already been five years, but... I still can't believe your mother is gone.
Dad's eyes were red as if he were about to cry at any moment, and his voice was half-choked up.
