Go to Seoul



               When I moved to Seoul, I coached at the tennis court during the day and
               studied at night .

               I studied for free in exchange for taking care of security and cleaning .

               Meanwhile, among the friends who worked as security guards and cleane
               rs like me , I became close friends with a friend whose last name was Shi

               n Ga , and naturally, we got along informally as if we were old friends .



               I found out that this friend was the ‘king’ of his age group .
               I thought the kids who cleaned and did security work were all my friends

               who wanted to study like me ... As it turns out, that wasn't the case .

               , I ended up living with those kids to save on boarding expenses ...
               The children bent their waists 90 degrees to their friend, God , and said,

               ‘Brother , brother . ’ Well , since we are friends, we called him ‘Shin

               hyung’ and ‘Kwon hyung’ . Perhaps because it looked bad in the eyes
               of those friends and offended them , their attitude towards me was not v

               ery good . But since I didn't have to worry about things like that , I didn't

               worry too much .


               Then one day , my resident registration card fell on the floor and it seem

               ed like someone had seen it . My resident registration card showed that I

               was born in 1959 , which was 2 years younger than my actual age .

               Shin's friend's subordinates, who misunderstood this , looked at him in a
               very arrogant manner and misunderstood that he was trying to rival their

               king by lying about his age .


               Finally, one day, after the academy classes were over, I was cleaning up

               my desk and erasing the blackboard with an eraser, around 11 o'clock at

               night ... With the sound of the door locking and ‘ clunking’ ….

               of 4 to 5 people of the same age came in, each holding a piece of wood in
               their hand . And then, without a word, they struck down the wooden bloc

     QR        k mercilessly . In a split second, I was hit in the back , and the situation s

               uddenly took a turn for the worse . I fought with all my might .
