Prologue
[Translation By Divinity]
[On the 20th, around 9 PM, Mr. Kim from Nokrim-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, committed suicide by hanging himself with an electric wire after repeatedly failing the bar exam.
The police are……]
“Huh, really. Why die? You have so much life left.”
“Stop talking like an old man.”
Kang Hyun scratched his head while watching the news that popped up while browsing YouTube. For a second-year high school student in Korea, who used textbooks as pillows and reference books as blankets, the idea of dying because of failing an exam didn’t resonate at all.
“See you tomorrow.”
“Kang Hyun, why aren’t you going that way?”
“I’m taking a shortcut.”
“Okay, see you tomorrow.”
Kang Hyun parted ways with his friend and entered a narrow alley, humming a tune, trying to get home a little faster. Passing through the old alley where the goshiwon village was located, he remembered the news from earlier.
‘It’s a tough world.’
Even at eighteen, he had his worries. He wanted to live happily, eating delicious food in a nice house, without worrying about the college entrance exam or anything else, but reality was different.
“Mom looks tired too.”
He thought of his mother, who periodically had men in suits visiting their home, and how she would hide and cry every time.
‘It’s so damn frustrating.’
Kang Hyun sighed deeply and looked up at the shabby, cramped, tall buildings of the goshiwon village.
“…?”
As if mirroring his feelings, a man was sitting on the railing at the top of the building above Kang Hyun’s head, smoking a cigarette. But something was strange.
“What… the?”
‘Isn’t it a bit dangerous to be sitting on the edge of the railing like that?’
Uh, uh, uh?
“Uh!”
The man flew into the air. The man’s head, floating as if walking on air, overlapped with the small moon in the sky.
“Ah! Sh…!”
Then, his body twisted with lightning speed and began to descend towards Kang Hyun, accurately like a rocket or a missile. It was a fleeting moment, with no time to even think of dodging.
“Watch out…!”
Bang! Crash!
On an ordinary day, the frontal lobes of a man presumed to be a perennial bar exam taker and Kang Hyun’s frontal lobe collided violently.
