EP 2 – Other

My family is poor.

So everyone has to make money.

But my family can’t find a decent job. When I asked my mom, sisters, and brothers, they said it was because I was too young.

So my mother said that she had no choice but to sell what everyone has and the most pure and precious thing, ‘love’. Another thing to say is sex.

However, other runaway families make money by lying. Selling fake love. It is said that they bring in adults who offer to have sex in exchange for money, and then steal the money by keeping it secret that they wanted to have sex with young children.

My family doesn’t do such mean things.

I really sell love.

But people in the world think it is a worse thing. So the rest of the world is stupid, but my family is smart.

My mom, the smartest person in my family, taught me a lot. That when you go to orphanage, a mean uncle takes your love away from you, that when you go to school, mean kids beat you up, that your maternal grandmother and grandfather were really mean people, that you have to choose your real family, not heaven, to create it yourself. These are all lessons my mom taught me.

Of course I didn’t understand.

Maybe it’s because my mom’s language was so difficult, but she always did things I couldn’t understand.

Selling love isn’t wrong, it’s honorable, but the people in the world who don’t know that say it’s stupid, and they always hug me at night and cry because they don’t know when it started being so wrong.

Even though they say that daycare and school are really bad places, every time I tell Pamjang, the leader of our family, that I want to send me to daycare and school, I get scolded.

But the most incomprehensible behavior was this.

One day, Pamjang said that there was someone who wanted to buy my love. He said that if I sell my love, I can make a lot of money.

I said yes. It was nice to be able to help her mother, because according to her mother’s teachings, selling her love was an honorable thing to do.

But wouldn’t Mom’s face turn white? Mom hurled all sorts of curses at Pam that I had never heard before.

But after Pamjang hit me a few times, my mom decided to sell my love.

And that night, my mom called the police.

The scary police came into our family home. They hit, broke and grabbed everything.

Even though I was crying and telling them not to do that, the police officers wearing scary hats frowned even more and started hitting, twisting, crushing, and crushing my family against the wall so that we couldn’t move.

Meanwhile, I saw Pam Chang swinging a knife.

He stabbed my mom.

betrayer!

Mom looked at me and said.

Run away.

I followed my mother’s last teachings and ran.

I bit and clawed away the hands of the police officers who were arresting me, then came out of the house and ran straight ahead.

The sky was dark. The city shone. And the back alley was dark. It looked gray with white and black mixed together.

I ran through the gray city.

Into the darkness of the alley.
