Jungwon and MaiMai were an unusual pair.
The fluffy dog walked alongside him as they patrolled the streets of South Korea.
The night had rolled in, casting darkness across the otherwise starlit sky of downtown Seoul.
"I hope they allow dogs inside.", Jungwon said.
He arrived at the door of a local bar.
He frequented this place recently, so much so that they know him by name.
"Ah, Jungwon, here again?", the security asked.
"I'm going for a seven-day streak. Think I'll make it this week?"
"If you keep up like this you will. You know, drinking isn't a healthy way to cope?"
"And what is? I lost everyone near and dear to my heart. Every single one of them. All I have left is MaiMai."
The dog sniffed the security guard, deeming him safe.
"She's a pretty one. Alright, go on in."
Jungwon and MaiMai entered the bar.
It wasn't crowded. It never was.
He say down at the bar, a familiar spot for him. MaiMai climbed in his lap.
"Mr. Yang, you're back. The usual?", the bartender asked.
"You know it."
"Going for a buzz or completely wasted tonight?"
"Absolutely...trashed."
"I hear ya."
The bartender started making Jungwon's usual selection.
"So, how are you doing lately?", she asked.
"As you can see, not good. I...went to my parents house."
"Did they see you?"
"No."
"Hmm...have you ever...visited?"
"My parents?"
"No. The...um..."
"Come on, say it."
"Them. Have you visited them?"
Jungwon knew who she was talking about.
The news spread across town immediately.
Tragedy in Seoul. One dozen lives lost in tragic multi-vehicle accident.
"No."
"Did you go to any funerals?"
"I went to the last one."
"Ah, the young one. What was his name?"
