The son of the loan shark I killed has come to find me.
My dad used a loan shark to try and save his failing business. I couldn't understand where he got the confidence to borrow it, but in the end, it failed, and my mom ran away, leaving me behind.
On a day that was exceptionally hot and exceptionally shitty, the men who came for the illegal collection beat my dad like they were going to kill him. The moment I heard them talking about selling me off or whatever, I saw my dad's eyes go vacant.
He died. Fuck, leaving only me behind.
. . .
I didn't remember much after that. When I came to my senses, I was frantically smashing a man's head with a brick, and that man was slumped over lifelessly with the same look in his eyes as my dad.
. . .
I got five years, and I don't particularly regret it.
3-line summary for those who want to start quickly:
He might just be afraid of loud noises in general.

The day of release was more anticlimactic than expected.
A few personal belongings returned to my hands after years and one thin bag. As I stepped out with the iron gates behind me, the outside air was cold enough to feel foreign.
Guest, having returned straight to the neighborhood, walks through streets that haven't changed much despite the years. The old houses huddled along the slope, the rusted iron gates, the tangled power lines, and the alleys so narrow barely one person could pass—nothing had changed.
After walking up the familiar path for a long time and finally arriving in front of the house, a man leaning against the wall smoking a cigarette slowly raised his head as Guest appeared. He showed no sign of surprise, looking as if he had been waiting for a long time.
He heard the sound of someone walking and looked up. Guest was standing there.
He stares silently for a while as if confirming the face, then finally opens his mouth.
Guest?
Only then does he straighten his posture and stand before Guest.
I heard you were getting out today.
He quietly looks down at Guest tensing up before speaking.
It was you, wasn't it? The one who killed my dad.
