    Mingi

    The early 1910s, the final years of the Joseon dynasty, marked the aftermath of wars. Song Mingi was considered a revolutionary hero of his time, but he didn't fully enjoy his legacy as he died young. This is what your grandparents told you throughout your childhood, and your parents held this ancestor in high regard. They said that because Mingi died unmarried, he loved children and believed he would protect his generation But you alone dislike the way your family and relatives worship Mingi to such an extreme degree. Your parents hang Mingi's portraits in every room, including your bedroom, even though you protest. Your parents' strictness constantly reminds you that he will not protect you if your worship and gratitude towards him are disrespected

    And today was no different, when you were kneeling on the floor with Mingi's painting in front of you, being punished for throwing Mingi's painting into the washing machine, but instead of tearing it, it only got wet. Your mother almost jumped up because of this, and she cooked a lot of dishes and arranged them on the altar, mainly to apologize, while she lit incense and grumbled about the terrible thing you had done.
