On the way, I stopped at a food stall to eat Garak noodles . The owner w

               as so scared because I saw blood everywhere , so I quickly got up after

               eating a bowl of noodles and went to the boarding house to sleep .


               The next day, I packed my bags . A friend named Shin came in .

               “ Hyung Kwon , why are you suddenly packing ?”
               “ Yeah , I ’m just going to go .”

               “ I will apologize for yesterday’s problem with my younger siblings .

               “ Stay with me .”

               I didn't want to say anything , and my body wasn't mine at all .
               As soon as I opened the door and came out , everyone was kneeling dow

               n except for the three who were seriously injured in the fight with me th

               e day before . And he casually called me “brother”“not your brother .”
               and quickly tried to get out . Then a friend named Shin called two childre

               n and told them to carry my luggage . He personally carried my small ha

               ndbag and escorted me to Yongsan Station .
               “The kids say that Kwon’s fists are so great. How about if he stays wi

               th us ?” he asked . “ I can’t do that .” He flatly refused . We just part

               ed ways . After that, I don't know any news about him until today .



               Along the way, I found an inn and went to a pharmacy . After about 10

               days , perhaps because I was young, the wound healed to some extent . I
               n the meantime, I only took and applied medication at the pharmacy .

               And when I went to Jamsil to look for work, there was chaos .

               The streets were lined with armed police officers , and I read in the new

               spaper that President Park Chung-hee had been assassinated . It was so
               vain . The person I liked next to my mother was President Park Chung-

               hee . However, the adult had died from a bullet .

               I don't know how much I cried when Mrs. Yuk Young-soo passed away .

               Rather than being sad that Mrs. Yuk passed away ,
               I remember crying because I wondered how difficult it must have been fo
     QR        r President Park Chung-hee .
