Guardian Mom



               It was in 1990 .

               I think it was around the time I was attending graduate school at Sejong
               University . A person called Suho's mother was paying monthly members

               hip fees and working out at the Gongneung tennis court ....

               People keep telling me that the monthly membership fee is expensive ....
               the lesson fee is expensive .... Anyway, because he's a bit tiring ....

               It was very stressful for me to deal with that person when I went to scho

               ol and came to the tennis court .


               Then one day ,

               my graduate school final exam is tomorrow, I couldn't study because I ha

               d a lot of work to do . That night , I had no choice but to stay up all night
               and cram . So I told the kids’ mother to prepare something to eat ,

               I was just about to study when the phone rang .

               I didn't want to answer the phone because I had to cram, but I did .

               Before you even say ‘ hello ‘… . Suho's mother is talking while crying .
               said he was from Seoul and had no relatives ,,, so he called ....

               My father passed away .... My mother-in-law and I were the only ones i

               n the house ....
               He said he couldn't do anything because it was night and asked for help .



               I hesitated a bit before answering .

               I hesitated for a moment because I get allergic to Suho's mom .
               However, I heard that someone died .... And I asked for the address beca

               use I thought how could I not go when someone I knew asked for help .

               ㅇㅇ-dong ㅇㅇ Apartment behind ㅇㅇ Department Store It was on the ㅇ
               floor . called Mr. Lee and Mr. Lee , who worked at the nuclear power hos

               pital . ( I am still working in the diagnostic radiology department .)

               ' I'm sorry, but please send one ambulance somewhere .' I asked for a fa

               vor. However, hospitals do not take dead people into the morgue unless
     QR
               they die in an accident .
