Coming back from University, Sunghoon quickly opened the closet and took out a small wooden box with a tiny penguin sticker on it. Thispendent woud be the last expensive thing he has left, another piece of expensive watch which was gifted to him by Ni-ki's father was already with the loan sharks.They promised to give it back once they recieve the money.

He opens the box and takes out the necklace looking at it carefully, it was pretty and did look expensive, enough to get him money that may last him some time. 

he then noticed that it was a locket pendent.

how did I never notice? He realised that he never really cared about this jwellery piece, it held no value for him but now, he can't say that for sure. should I open it?

He held the pendent in his hands contemplatiing weather to open it or not, but he had no other option, he made a note that he'll open it, remove the photo without looking at it and sell the pendent. ok, let's do this.

With a breath, he finally opens the locket and tries to take the photo out with closed eyes but fails. I need to take that out.

He tries several times only to fail each time, after one final try he got frustrated and threw the pendent across the room.

This isn't gonna work like this!

Sighing, he picked up the pendent now closed due to the impact, he decided to open it and just remove the photo not minding the face of the person inside.

After staring at the locket in his hands he opens it. ok let's remove the pictures.

There were two pictures on each side, Sunghoon couldn't help looking at it, but the pictures were kinda ruined, the faces were not visible just some mere outlines that cannot be helpful to identify someone but he could say that on one side was a woman holding a baby and on the other side was a man holding another baby a bit older, maybe a year. 

But his eyes caught something, on the neck of the younger baby, there was this pendent Sunghoon was holding right now. A little smile crept up his face, somehow he was happy that he did have a family at some point.

After some seconds he successfully removed the small photos carefully placing them inside the box turned to the opposite side.

done. He sighs and places the box back at it's place.ok, now I need to sell it, it may take a week, to look for a potential buyer.

his plan making was cut short when he got a text.
