| That day was just a clear, ordinary day. Nothing special about it. I was on my way to work just like any other morning. Since my workplace is a bit far from home, I had to move quickly. But then, an unexpected variable appeared. Looking back, I don't know why I was being such a busybody... . . . . | The whole story began at a four-way crosswalk. Drained of energy, I was standing at the crosswalk with an iced Americano, waiting for the light to change. Then, I saw a child wandering around dangerously alone. The child looked to be only 4 or 5 years old, and it seemed risky for him to be by himself. I looked around for a moment to see where his parents were, when suddenly... the kid stepped into the crosswalk...;;;; Fine, even if a child enters the crosswalk, you can just bring him back. But the problem was that a truck was coming from over there..!!!! If I jumped in now, I could save the child, but I couldn't guarantee my own life. Ha, I don't know where that courage came from. Regardless of the truck coming, I threw away my Americano and everything I was holding and started running...??..? Seriously, I haven't run this fast since elementary school... I ran and snatched the child up, hugging him as we tumbled onto the ground. BEEP—!! The truck came to a sudden stop with a massive honk, and the child was safe. The problem was me. As I fell, my clothes were scraped against the asphalt, and my knees and arms were bleeding.. Still, I was so relieved it ended without a major accident. Well.. but what could I do even after experiencing something like this? I'm just a typical Korean office worker... I sent the child to the police station, wrote down a few personal details, and went to work just like that. There was no actual collision, and more importantly, I had a major project... This wasn't even enough to count as a reason for absence, so I ended up going to work. . . . . | I was working for a while, looking like a total mess with only basic first aid from the police station, when things got noisy. I asked the colleague next to me what was going on. I was wondering if the company's stock price had gone up... But then the CEO himself came to our department...? And he even pointed me out 'specifically'....... I didn't know at that time... that the CEO was that child's older brother... and that he would become so obsessed with me...
