[Flashback]:
He unlocked the door while wiping his sweats with the sleeve of his sweatshirt.
He looked around carefully.
He didn't want to get caught by police not when he wanted to rob a store.
He stepped in and started searching for the safe.
He knew how to unlock it.
He put his bag down and reached his hand to the safe as soon as he saw it.
'Sorry..I'm really sorry..I really don't want..please forgive me..'
Yeah.he was scared.he was aologizing before he steals the money.
He didn't want to do that but he was forced to do.
He had no other choice.
His mother was in the hopital and His father ran away after hitting his mother to death.
No one helped him.
He unlocked the safe and threw the money in his bag carelessly.
He wanted to leave as soon as possible.
He was still young and didn't want to spend the rest of his life in the jail.
He was about to leave but someone pushed him away.
He fell on the floor shocked.
He realized what was going on fast.
He stared at the person in front of him and pressed the bag to his chest more.
"Shit!!who the hell are you??"
The person in front of him didn't seem happy for seeing him!
Maybe..he was the owner of the store???
He looked at him scared.he escaped from the store for the thousand times in his mind but he couldn't move in reality.
Wait..
He saw the guy in front of him was wearing a dark clothes with a confusing mask on his face..
"Y-You're a thief!!!"chani yelled.
"So you are."the guy in front of him nodded.
"I-I should call the polic-...wait..I'm a thief as well!!Gosh!!"chani whispered to himself with a shocked face.
Chani became to himself when a pair of strong hands landed on his shoulders.
"Look kid.You better give me the money.you can't defeat me anyway."the guy seemed to be smiling.
Did he underestimate chani?he hated to be underestimate.
"Why don't you rob another store since you're so strong?"chani smirked.
The guy shocked.
"You-"
"I don't have time.I gotta go."chani stood up and wanted to leave but pulled back by the guy once again.
Chani was exhausted.the guy was on his nerves.
He could get rid of him or at least die right there but he couldn't leave the store without money.
He couldn't let his mother die.
They started fighting like children,hitting each other with their hands and turning their faces not to get hit by each other hands.
Suddenly the guy stopped and caused chani to hit him as hard as he could.
Chani was happy that he hit him at least for once but what happened to that guy?
He followed the direction of the man's gaze and saw the hidden camera up on the ceiling.
His hands lost their sensation.
"It's...recording.."the guy whispered.
"We're officially dead."chani hummed after that and stood up to check the camera,if it was really recording.
He gulped his own saliva and smiled nervously.it really was recording..
The guy pushed him away again!!!
Why did he keep pushing him away??
The guy showed chani a death glare and tried to reach his hands to the camera.
Chani thought for a moment..
He could grab his bag and go..
He quietly held his bag and started to run as fast as he could.
It was okay for him if he left him there by himself.
But!!
He noticed the guy was following him.
'I should hide.I should get rid of him..I should go to the hospital before something happens to my mom..I should take the money there..I still need my mom..'
Those thoughts never left chani.
He was thinking as much as he could.he wanted to decite well.
Of course the guy didn't need the money more than chani did.
He couldn't breath because of running fast.
The street was crowded.
He was jumping on everything he saw to get rid of the guy behind him but there was no way to get rid of him.
'Umma..what should I do..please help me..I can't anymore..'
He finally stopped running and sat on the stairs in front of him.
"I can't anymore.."chani rested his head on the stairs and stared at the dark sky in front of his eyes.
"Why..why do you keep trying?"the guy caught his breath and sat beside him on the stairs.
"Why do you care?..just take the money and leave."chani closed his eyes trying hard to control his tears.
He didn't want to hurt his pride.at leant in front of a stranger.
"I want to know.It must be a important thing to make you run like that chani."the guy said.
Chani wanted to yell at him this time but stopped.
Who did he know his name??
He stared at him shocked unable to move his tongue.
Like the guy was reading his mind he pulled out chani's student card from his dress under his sweatshirt and showed chani his card.
"Oh.."chani sighed and took his card back.
"I don't usually say my name to anyone but I'm rowoon."the guy said.
Rowoon..
"Why do you tell me your name?"chani asked.
"I think it'll be fair if you know my name as well."rowoon said and pulled his mask down to breath better and chani could see his face clearly now..
Well..at least he was handsome..
"Alright.I gotta go..I need to visit my mom.."chani whispered and stood up and turned around but rowoon stopped him.
"You can have it."
Chani turned around again to see rowoon who was looking at him as well.
"D-Did you-"
"I don't think I need it more than you do.I gave up."rowoon atood up as well and patted chani's shoulders.
It was unblieveable.
Chani was looking at him dumbfounded.
"Be careful not to get caught by the police."rowoon smiled kindly and ruffled chani's hair.
He could..
He could save his mom now..
He was kind of..thankful?
[The end of the flashback]:
He smiled as he remembered his sweet diary.
He whispered rowoon's name.
Rowoon smiled for the last time and turned around while humming a song.
Chani couldn't appreciate him and didn't know if he could see him ever again..
But well if he could save his mom he could say it was kinda..because of rowoon.
He smiled once again and closed his eyes as he was cuddling his mom..
