ATTEW – Chapter 7
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth—tears for tears. Hwajin said that since Eunho was small, she had to toughen up so people wouldn’t look down on her, so they wouldn’t treat her carelessly. If there was some uncle who sneered and called her a rat bastard, then refused to pay her for an errand… …It was Hwa-jin who taught her how to fight back. If any auntie or uncle tried to touch Eunho’s body without permission… …It was she who said that, too. Right. So don’t cry.…-

ATTEW – Chapter 6
“Oppa! Oppa!” “What—weren’t your legs shaking? You run pretty well. Chasing me down for another round?” “You shorted me. Give me five thousand more.” “Hwajin, stop being a bitch and go when I’m asking nicely. Huh?” “It’s five thousand short. Here—look. This is exactly the money you left.” “Ha… Who do you think you’re scamming? I paid full twenty thousand for the fuck—what bullshit is this!” “No more talk—just hand over the five thousand. Nothing…-

ATTEW – Chapter 5
Living as a Guhyeongjip kid, Eunho had naturally learned that she herself had been born from acts like that. You couldn’t help but pick it up from the words the adults around her exchanged. Once, on TV, she’d seen people talk about pregnancy and childbirth as something holy and sublime, using big, lofty words. Eunho had snorted at that. If everyone got pregnant and gave birth after doing that, then it was a long way from holy or sublime. The only proper book Eunho owned was a New Millennium…-

ATTEW – Chapter 4
“A mother who looks like that—no wonder you’re a mess too.” “…….” “You little rat bastard. You—don’t ever come to our shop again!” “…….” “Got it?” “…….” “I said, got it?” “…….” “Ah, seriously!” After snapping that, she turned and went back into the shop. A moment later, she came out again and hurled a loaf of bread—about the size of a child’s fist—hard at Eunho’s feet. It was spite, and it was pity. Eunho…-

ATTEW – Chapter 3
The only place Eunho had to go when kicked out of the single room was the shop, so every time, she guarded it alone. She took ten thousand won from the men going in to fuck her mother and sold them two condoms, then slipped the money into the cash tin beneath the counter. That compartment was only for ten-thousand-won bills. Listening to her mother’s nasal, breath-muddled moans, the men’s curses and ragged breathing, Eunho read whatever magazines or newspapers they left behind. When a man finished…-

ATTEW – Chapter 21
At the temporary protection facility he had finally found, Jae-eon saw a woman who made him forget his situation for a moment, drawing his gaze irresistibly. The woman wrapping her arm around Gyueon’s shoulders—clinging in fear to her oppa who was leaving—and speaking to her was… Beautiful. “Hi? I’m Lee Eunho. What’s our friend’s name?” “Hic, I’m… Seo Gyueon…” “Wow, that’s such a pretty name. Your name’s pretty, your face is pretty… Gyueon, you’re pretty…-

ATTEW – Chapter 20
—”Then you can’t. If there’s a legal guardian with the ability to provide support on paper, why are you the head of household? You’re not. It doesn’t qualify for exemption. It doesn’t qualify for deferment either.” “But my father and I are estranged. We left that house right before my sister was born—almost ten years ago. He’s someone who has no intention of supporting my sister or me—” —”Your name was Jae-eon?” “Yes, sunbaenim.” —”I heard you were smart.…-

ATTEW – Chapter 2
“Living as a woman won’t bring you anything good. Even if your face is half-decent, all it does is draw bugs.” “I know.” “What do you know? You’re tiny.” “I’ve heard that enough times to know.” Nine-year-old Eunho looked down with indifferent eyes at the light brown hair falling in clumps around her feet. Her hair had only grown to about the length of a single finger joint. It was the weekend. Hwajin had slept in late and woke up complaining about the cold. Startled by…-

ATTEW – Chapter 19
She said she hadn’t done much for him, yet thanked him for growing up so well. She laughed, saying she couldn’t possibly send off such a fine son to get married all on her own. When he replied that he didn’t even have a girlfriend yet, she grew genuinely upset, asking how someone this accomplished could still be single. So did she want him to get married, or not? When he asked, she smiled and said, of course, he should get married. “Our son deserves to enjoy every bit of happiness there…-

ATTEW – Chapter 18
Monday came at last. The hour before dawn, before any light could seep in, was frighteningly dark. Within that darkness, Jae-eon pushed through the snow that obscured his vision—walking, then running, then walking again. Just when it seemed the snowfall might ease, it came down in heavy sheets once more. His body, which had been shivering in the cold all day, felt like a block of ice. He could no longer feel his legs or his feet, yet there was only one reason he kept moving. “……” He…-
