너 때문에 [Because of You]

Prologue

"Hey Gwangrok. You're certainly capable of making life difficult. Dying such a messy death, like couldn't you just have died in some woman's bed? Now I have to go hunt down those who killed you. 'Have a family. Have a dog, two cats, three fishes.' Seriously, a bloody will? You left a bloody will in full colour video like Changwook and Hyejin were your children or something and telling them to quit and make a family? Wow, I never knew you had such crazy dreams other than you know, leaving your two pupils for an island to watch women all day.

And are you kidding? Family? Children? As if a child would solve all problems. They create *more* problems, as a person with experience, do you know how much it costs to raise *a* child? 180 million won per year, and you're asking them to both have a family? Well I mean, both of them have the cash at least, judging by their accounts they have money, for, I'd say, two kids. Each. Listen here, you porn-loving soul: if both of them take your advice, it'll be the end of this wonderful industry. Not to mention they need to look for proper jobs as well, hm now let's see how they're both going to have a family without this kind of money coming in... unless Hyejin marries some rich chaebol, which of course would be absolutely wonderful because I am lacking in some kimbap at the moment... Both of their resumes will include: 'thieving', 'safe opening', 'climbing the side of a building', and 'beating people to pulp'. Ah I know what job they should apply for: breaking the law! The pay is similar to ours right now, but just a tiny bit lower, I think the money will be sufficient to cover three kids plus their insurance and my hospital bills. You know what, maybe I should blow my money on an island just like you did since I have no idea why I made all this money in the first place."

Mikyung sighed as she looked at the photo of the mischievious face of her once partner in crime next to his urn. How in the world did she end up working with an ex-convict of all people?

"By the way, you know how you asked me what I think you're great at? I have my answer- leaving people behind, that's what you're great at. Surprise surprise. Those kids glued themselves onto a criminal. One's twenty-one and another's eighteen, probably the best burgulars the world has ever seen yet cried like babies when you left for that island. And now look at what we have, you've done it again. You're actually not coming back this time..."
