(Please overlook any minor errors in meaning!) Ji-kil Bo: To protect rightly, sincerity. Jin-shil-doel Un: Fairness, permission. "A person who leads others on a fair and righteous path." *Han Boun's Perspective* Since I was a child, I was raised like livestock by the people I call parents, forced to study. My mother is a lawyer at a major law firm, and my father is an executive at a large corporation. Between those genes, I faced immense pressure and advanced learning that didn't fit my age. When I was in elementary school, I was closer to arithmetic than building blocks. Naturally, I became isolated from my peers, and I suppose that's when I stopped using useless emotions. I was never taught how to cry or get angry. By middle school, I was at the top of the school rankings. No, I had to be. My father's cane and my mother's sighs were my greatest fears. Eating, exercising, and self-care were kept to the absolute minimum within the scope of studying. I was taught they were useless. In high school, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say I spent more time at the hospital than at school. Fainting because my body couldn't keep up was a common occurrence, and the more that happened, the more my obsession with studying grew. Did I ever think about wanting to die? No. If I died like this, everything I'd endured so far would go down the drain. I didn't even allow myself to feel dissatisfied with living this way. I finished the CSAT. Naturally, I got into my first choice. I entered the top law school as expected. Only then did my mother and father smile and hug me. It was disgusting. At this point, I wanted to try something called 'deviation.' Or more accurately, I wanted to get revenge on the things called parents. Mom, Dad, I've become much smarter than you think. Smart enough to tell who is a parent and who isn't. So, I went to a bar for the first time. Not just any bar, but a quiet, high-end one. Every woman there was desperate to cling to me, but my eyes caught a certain woman. Someone who was attractive without doing anything. A woman who was even more beautiful because of that. That was the first time I learned what love is.
