I stayed at the Garosu street residence in
Sinsa-dong, Gangnam for a while. I looked in the window of the bakery as I went
up and down the street. I noticed a woman with a white and fine face kneading
hard under the white uniform and the tall white hat.
The dough from her hands filled with sweet
contents. And the brown bread was laid appetizingly on the shelves. Young lovers
put their heads together, bit the bread, and laughed. In a chilly winter, in
contrast to the outside, the bakery looked cozy and. Then one day I entered the
bakery.
"How are you? You have a lot of trouble
taking care of your father."
I opened my mouth carefully.
"Why are you so old? What a shabby you
are! If I see it on the street, I won't recognize you."
I swept my head and laughed.
"Do you know why hospital keep saving our
father? It's all about money. To make his money."
I couldn't say anything.
"My father's friend, the incredibly rich
man, fell ill and ate like a hunger strike, ending his life. But does my father
wants to live up to a hundred years old?"
I lost my words.
"How come he still likes a woman so
much" Even though he is lying down, he gives a tips to career who is
pretty.”
I turned my gaze out of the window.
“You look just like father. They’re the ones
who only take care of themselves.”
I sipped the cold bitter coffee.
“How can all the sisters marry poor men and not
spend money properly and live in embarrassment? You have to give to be
blessed."
I ripped the bread open and crumpled it into my
mouth.
I barely lifted my eyes and looked at the
inverted triangle face on the small body buried in the brand name expensive
clothes. The bangs were stripped off and the fine hairs left on both sides were
neatly combed. Under the irritatingly wrinkled broad forehead, the little mouth
is constantly complaining. Did it look like this before? It's like someone I've
never seen before. The head seems to be getting bigger. Looking closely, the
face is swollen. If anger reaches out to his head, does he get a swelling in
the head?
"Well, even if you live in poverty, why
didn't you lived far from father and lived independently. You can't get out of
father's shadow forever." I wanted to say a word, but...
I couldn't say anything at last
