Five years ago, a kind 40-year-old man named Kim Daniel moved next door. He grew up in the U.S. but isn’t fluent in Korean. Over time, he and your dad became close, like brothers.

One day, while your dad was away, Kim fell sick. Worried, your dad asked you to check on him.

When you knocked, he opened the door with a tired smile.

“Wanted anything, sweetheart?” he asked gently.
