Chapter 02

At 10:20 p.m., Cha Eunwoo opened the front door softly. The room was quiet, and his mother had long fallen asleep. He closed the door but didn't turn on the light, only locking the door and fastening the chain Cha ShuLi had removed before she went to bed.

There were several dishes on the square table in the living room. Cha Eunwoo stacked them together and brought it to the kitchen to wash. After cleaning up, he took a new plastic bag to replace the bag in the trash can, to be thrown away tomorrow morning.

But as he bent down to change the plastic, Cha Eunwoo hesitated. There was a letter in the can, torn in half. He was familiar with the color and style of the envelope.

His mouth pursed as he took the envelope out.

And sure enough, it was an envelope from the Aircraft Institute.

The mailing address was uniformly printed, with the words 'Cha Eunwoo' stark at bright.

His lips thinned even more. After standing still for a long while, he switched off the kitchen light and brought the letter pieces back to his room.

Turning a small bedside lamp on, he brought the two pieces of ripped paper back together.

"Eunwoo,

The enrollment for graduate students in the Aircraft Institute is starting soon. There are two places for the flight design major. I don't know if you know any of this, so I printed the enrollment brochure and mailed it to you. I know your difficulties and understand your position, but you're still so young, and you have great talent and enthusiasm that is no less than your father's. I've always believed that you shouldn't have to give up like this.

 I attached a letter of recommendation, and hope to see you in the First Aircraft Research Institute next year.

Uncle Top."

Uncle Top's letter was quite short, but Cha Eunwoo read it over and over again. He found the enrollment brochure and looked at the registration period.

October 21 to October 31.

In this silent night, a tiny sparkle lit up Cha Eunwoo's eyes, flickering to life, before quietly, quietly, disappearing in the dark.

He folded the letter closed, opened the drawer, and placed it deep to the bottom.

The next day, Cha Eunwoo woke up early. He had a day shift today, and orders didn't start until 10:00 a.m., so he leisurely prepared breakfast at 8:30 a.m. then knocked on Cha ShuLi's door "Mom, get up and eat."

Cha ShuLi didn't answer, but after a while, the door opened. She went to the bathroom to wash up, then sat across from Cha Eunwoo at the table. On it was a plate of freshly fried steamed bread, and a bowl of porridge. Cha Eunwoo didn't forget to remind her to be careful about scalding herself.

Cha ShuLi didn't use a spoon and took the bowl to take small sips. Her eyes drifted to the trash can near the table. Yesterday's garbage had already been cleared up by Eunwoo, and the trash can was now empty. Retracting her gaze. She put down her bowl and picked up her chopsticks to take a piece of fragrant bread.

The table was silent, neither of them speaking, with the only sounds coming from the utensils and their chewing. After the meal, Cha Eunwoo handed Cha ShuLi's medicine, took the dirty dishes to the kitchen to wash, and then left to go to work.

When he arrived at work, Cha Eunwoo punched his card, then went into the locker room to change clothes.

When he entered, he saw two of his colleagues sitting together, chatting. As he walked past, Cha Eunwoo greeted them "Hello elder brother Don, elder brother Defconn ."
