Kim Dokja stumbled out the door in all his bruised and beat up glory. Immediately, he turned around to get back into his home, but the door was already locked. He knew that his mother had kicked him out to protect him, but he really had nowhere else to go today: the library closed on Wednesdays.

Sighing in defeat, Kim Dokja decided that he would just go to the playground. Perhaps his friends would be there.

As expected, when he arrived, Kim Dokja saw Han Sooyoung and Yoo Joonghyuk, his two best friends, squabbling over who would get to go on the swing first.

"Han Sooyoung! Yoo Joonghyuk!" Kim Dokja called cheerily as he ran forward. Perhaps he had run too fast, because he tripped on a beam of the swings and face planted right into the wood chips of the playground floor.
