CHA EUN WOO's POV:

After a challenging day at work, I took a nice shower. I slipped into my PJ's and went to bed. I woke up to blaring noise of the alarm. Rubbing my eyes, I went to the bathroom and got ready to go to work.

I was working helplessly, because I was frustrated of my life. Being rich sure wasn't even close to what I thought as a kid. "Sir it's time for the status update meeting", My secretary called out. "I'll be there" I said while sighing. Even though the meeting was so boring I had to be there since I was the CEO of the biggest cosmetics company in south Korea, speaking in my head I rolled my eyes.

After the meeting started, to my surprise the 'UNSOLD' products that never sold out as I thought It would, we were getting a lot of orders because of a girl in YouTube advertised the product.

After that one product unexpectedly became popular, we had to quickly ramp up the production using mass production techniques to meet sudden increase of demand.

While I was proudly looking at the boxes at the warehouse, I received a text message from mom that said,"

'Your dad is in the hospital'

I was hyperventilating as I rushed towards the exit. I called my driver to drop me off at the hospital as I was not in my right mind. I saw my mother crying in a corner and I help back the urge to do so myself. I noticed a cardiologist entering the ER and questions bubbled up in my mind. I sprinted to him before he could enter and asked him why a cardiologist is needed. He dodged my question as hurried inside.

The doctor prescribed some medicines and explained the cause of stroke. "He has been diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy. But you don't have to worry since its treatable with medications and surgery. And in the worst-case scenario, the only option would be a heart transplantation."

I saw my mother in utter confusion so I began explaining with a calming voice what dilated cardiomyopathy is, "it's a disease which is either caused by excessive alcohol use or infection. But dad doesn't drink so it must be infection. Don't worry mom dad is going to be alright."

"yes that's right. We'll provide the best service for the chairman." The doctor joined in. It seemed to have relieved mom and I told my driver to take her back home.

After the driver took mom home, I went to a local convenience store to get her tofu to make tofu stew which my mom really loves. As I entered the store, a girl brushed towards my shoulder, and I felt that she looked somehow similar to someone I know. "Well now she's gone", I blabbered to myself and walked in to find tofu. I ringed up the tofu and I heard a growling sound coming from my stomach. "I want to lighten my mood so I might as well buy some ice cream before heading home" I muttered to myself.

I bought an ice cream and walked towards a bench, there was no empty bench at the time. I sat down on a random bench and I was sighing to myself without realizing that there was a girl sitting next to me.

LIM JI KYOUNG's POV:

I was stressed because of how poor we were and tired of always paying the bills due, a man sat next to me facing the other side while sighing. I thought to myself that it was also probably because he was poor like me.

"Is your dad also struggling?" I asked while avoiding direct contact. He sighed as a reply and I figured he was also having the same problems as me. He had a melting ice cream gripped tightly in his hands. I fished inside my bag for a napkin and quickly wiped it from dripping on his clothes. "Thank you miss" he dryly replied. I was getting the feeling that I was making him uncomfortable so I got up to leave but he grabbed my hand and said, "you can sit , I am leaving. My mother is waiting." He said in a different yet kind voice.

I was enjoying mom's music while snacking on a sausage. This song was written and sang by mom. She dedicated it to me and my little brother while in her death bed. She found out she had glioblastoma but it was already too late. My dad was the one who suffered the most. Not only did he struggle to take her hand in marriage, my mother's dad was a drug dealing ring leader so he ordered to beat my dad up several times. My mom was the nicest person. She gave up on her job to raise the both of us and was also paying for the hospital bills of her mother who was in her death bed at that time.

I was in my own world when I was interrupted by a phone call. As soon as I took the phone, I heard that my brother got into a fight. It was not the first time even though he was only 17 at the time. "Hey? You there?" I heard my brother's voice. "Why are you always getting in trouble? Whose kid did you beat up this time?" I couldn't stop asking questions and I was always cleaning up after his mess. The police told me to come to the station to pay of the settlement money.

After paying the settlement money, he dragged me into a corner and whispered in my ear, "Sis I really didn't beat him up first! He threw my bag out of the window and when I asked him to go get it, he beat me up first." I was tired of him acting up to these rich kids. We always end up losing and what's the point of fighting when u already know who's going to win.

I apologized to the kid's parents and went home with my brother. "Stop acting up will you?" I started as soon as I got inside the house. He simply ignored me and went inside his room banging his room door hard enough for the whole world to hear. I also went in my room because I had enough of this shitty day. I wanted to sleep and never wake up. I wished the world would just end. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
