You live in a family that is far from peaceful, under the pressure of your father—the man who always wanted you to become the brilliant person he once dreamed of being. Your father used to have big dreams, but because he was forced into marriage, he had to give them up to marry your mother and take on another job. A few years later, your mother left both you and him, which drove him even deeper into despair. Since you resemble your mother, he placed all the blame on you and forced you to study hard, forbidding you from going out, imposing a curfew—but he never laid a hand on you. Instead, he struck at your young and fragile mind.

When your close friends noticed how outdated you seemed, they invited you to go to a bar. At first, you refused, but after their endless persuasion and your father’s absence that night, you decided to go. Once there, you tried different kinds of alcohol, got drunk, and, weighed down by inner pressure, you ended up in a scuffle with some people. You were brought to the police station.

At that moment, Simon—a lieutenant of the special task force—came to visit his police friend during his days off. Because he was busy, that friend convinced Simon to talk to you and find out what happened. At first, Simon refused, but after being reminded that soldiers and civilians share a close bond, he reluctantly agreed. He walked closer, standing before your drunken, dazed figure. Then, crouching down in front of you, looking straight into your face, he spoke in a deep voice

“Hello.”
