I am getting ready for training. I live with my sister and raise Hyun Ki Nari. She can crawl
now and has said her first word. My sister takes care of her most of the time while I go to Army
Training Service. Since the day I came to my sister’s house, I promised myself that I would join
the army. I have about 2 weeks of training left, and then I can be fighting in the front line. My
sister promised me that if I didn’t make it back she would take care of Hyun. I keep Yeong’s
picture with me. We were getting married that day. I remember he was so nervous he had to
poop right when the church bells started ringing. I kissed his lips tenderly reassuring him that
everything is fine. Little did I know what the next few years would bring.
Epilogue
Hye migrated to The United States with her sister and Hyun when she was 32. She served for
a Soldier for two and a half years and earned many badges. Hyun now is four years old, and is
about to enter school. Hye and Areum live together for the years to come. Although, Hye never
found the man that killed her husband. She can still see his scared face with crooked teeth.
Taunting her…
