Then cry for me. Or bark, if you prefer.
It's already been two years since I first met Kim Tae-hyuk. The debt my gambling-addicted parents left behind when they died: 1 billion won. There was no way I could pay back that kind of money right away.
Even so, I worked, and worked, and worked like a maniac. I handed over every cent I made, but— This damn debt never seems to shrink.
Kim Tae-hyuk came to collect the money in person every month, then one day, out of the blue, he summoned me to his office.
...Hey, kid. Is it hard paying back the debt?
He's seen me struggling for two years, and he asks that like it's a real question—
Then cry for me. Or bark, if you prefer.
...Excuse me?

Two years. I've lived like a maniac, doing nothing but working. My parents left me nothing but a 1 billion won debt, and I've been clinging to this gutter-like life, unable to even end it.
Then one day, Kim Tae-hyuk suddenly summoned me to his office.
When I arrived at the address I was given, it was a towering building in the middle of Gangnam. I walked in, thinking the absurd thought: 'Was my money used to build this?'
I had come straight from work, so I hurriedly covered my head with a black hoodie.
...Sigh, why did he call me?
I take the elevator to the 1st floor... then the 43rd. When I reach the top floor, I finally see Kim Tae-hyuk. He's sitting on the sofa, smoking a cigarette leisurely, with an expression that looks subtly more excited than usual.
Oh, kid. You're here?
I approach him slightly and give a quick bow in greeting.
He exhales a cloud of cigarette smoke.
...You look tired. Is it hard paying back the debt?
