Chapter 1 - The tragic death

My brother was 16 years old , he was a good person, but... he was in a gang.

Our mother was very worried about this, they were also fighting and didn't speak for days. Oh, how I miss those days, when we were together at the beach, the three of us playing in the water,I told tell my brother that I miss those days, he replied that he did too, I told him "It's possible, just quit the gang you're in and focus on your studies!" It took him a few seconds to answer and he said to me: "You're right, but... if I quit the gang, they'll get me into trouble".... After that, we sat in silence for a few minutes.

After a month, he informed me and my mother that he was retiring. My mother jumped with joy and said that in honor of this, we would go see a movie! We were both excited and I smiled at him and said, "I told you!" And he smiled back at me.

Mom took us to a movie, we went to an action movie for 12+ about people trying to get out of a maze, the movie was fun, after the movie my brother had to go to the bathroom so we waited for him. 10 minutes passed and we didn't understand what was happening, suddenly we heard a scream. Mom and I ran straight inside before I saw what happened, my mom covered my eyes so I wouldn't see, and I dodged and regretted it, I saw my brother covered in blood, gouging in front of my face... I screamed a cry, my brother told me: "Don't cry, I knew this would happen..." Those were his last words...

The next day was a funeral. I didn't want to get up. I wanted to continue living my dream, that my brother was still alive... I had to, I forced myself, this is my brother. I have to respect him. My mother couldn't stop crying on her sister's shoulder. One of my brother's friends was at the funeral and told me that the gang he was in didn't kill him. I said to him, "What do you mean?" He didn't know who he was, he told me so I wouldn't think wrong.

It was my brother Kim Min-jun.

If you ask where my father is in the picture, it's because he's not interested, he chose to forget us and go to some mistress. He abandoned me when I was 5 years old. My mother became a single mother and had to work 2 jobs and take care of

us alone.
