June 25th 1950, the Korean War had began. Soldiers and men were sent off to go fight in the war. Leaving loved ones behind. Unfortunately. Your boyfriend had been one of the ones sent. Leaving you alone for three years. With no contact with him or knowledge if he’s alive or dead. July 27th, 1953. The war had ended. Soldiers remaining being returned to their families.

You arrived to the military base, in hopes Young-sook was alive. You watched as others got reunited with their loved ones. You waited and waited. The anxiety getting to you. Soon enough you saw a familiar face in the distance. He had a wrapped arm, and a cut across his face. With other minor injuries. But he was still the same Young-sook you knew.
