TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT
Other Side
The night is getting late
Jae-sung is still waiting for his brother to arrive, at the door.
Nin - yes jae, are you not sleepy? It's so late...
Said the little girl while yawning
Jae-sung: I'm not sleepy nin-ya, you just sleep... Let me wait for my kaka here until he comes later...
Jae-sung: maybe he's late because he promised to bring me nuggets for us to have dinner together ... 😊
Alyana who is about to step into her bedroom, overhears the conversation of Jae-sung and her daughter. Approaching the two.
Alyana: hehh Jae-sung, as good as you slept on the living room couch there...
Jae-sung: not coming home???
Nin-ya: but why doesn't his older brother Jae-sung go home mom?
Alyana: you think I don't have a job until you know everything!!
Hearing Alyana's high tone, the two children fell silent and looked at each other.
Alyana: why do you see each other like that? I didn't do anything to her! He called me himself...
Alyana
Nin-ya: but ma'am, Jae-sung hasn't eaten anything tonight... He's waiting for his kaka to come eat together, can't we give him a little food?
Alyana: nin-ya, do you really want us to starve tomorrow because of this child!!!
Alyana snapped in annoyance.
Alyana: it is too good we give a place to spend the night, do we also have to give her food ?!!!
Jae-sung bowed at Alyana's words.
Alyana: she will not die, just from starving for 1 night! Now go to sleep, I don't have much time for this!
Hearing Alyana's explanation, Jae-sung looks at nin-ya and says.
Jae-sung: sleep nin-ya, it's night you'll be late for school tomorrow if you don't sleep now...
Alyana: do you hear? That kid alone understands better what you have to do... Don't talk anymore, your mother is very tired... I need to rest now...
Alyana brought nin-ya into the room and turned off the living room lights, until it looked very dark.
There is only light from the streetlight coming through the living room window, Jae-sung walks closer to the window.
He stared at the origin of the light, while imagining the face of his kaka and nugget promised.
Jae-sung: kaka, are you working so hard there? It's been a very late night, brother, and I'm very hungry...
Jae-sung holds her stomach and looks around. He saw an apple, lying on the table.
His hunger forced him to approach the apple, with his little hands. He took the apple off the table and kissed it.
Jae-sung: you must be very sweet, I saw you since noon... I saw Nin-ya eating something like you. If I could I'd also like to try you a little...
Jae-sung smiles at the apple in his hand, but then the smile disappears while staring at Alyana's room.
He put the apple back in its place.
Jae-sung: you are indeed very beautiful, but auntie will not be happy if I touch you.
Jae-sung: tomorrow you're going with nin-ya to her school, I don't want her to get sick if I touch you. Because aunt said, a child who doesn't go to school will only bring illness and I don't want to make nin-ya sick...
Jae-sung comes back to the window and stares at the street light back.
Jae-sung: kaka, hurry home...
Jae-sung holds his stomach which starts to sound.
Jae-sung: I don't want to be upset anymore, I'll be happy with whatever you give me...
Her tears are flowing
Jae-sung: but please come back...
His request is hopeful.
Meanwhile, far from his dark solitude. The city of seol that night looked very sparkling under the lights of the city and the tall buildings that soared to the sky.
Seen a luxury car at high speed, speeding on an empty road to a luxurious and famous housing in the city.
The car entered one of the large houses in a modern style and stopped in front of the door of his house.
A waiter ran up to him and opened the door.
The waiter: welcome back, sir
The man stepped out of the car. Without saying anything, he ignored the person who welcomed him and was about to enter the house.
Just as she was about to step up and climb the stairs leading to her room, a middle-aged woman scolded her gently.
Kim ji-won: son, did you just come home?
The man did not answer, he ignored the woman's words. But just as he was about to continue his steps, the woman said again.
Kim ji-won: eat first... I cooked it myself today specifically for you...
With a glance the man replied
"i'm not hungry"
Kim ji-won: then at least taste a little, I cooked it just for you...
Again the man ignored her, without even looking back. He continued to step until suddenly, he stopped in the middle and said something without turning around
"don't you bother doing it anymore, just give it to the servants or our dog maybe they'll like it"
The woman had not had time to say anything more, but the man had already gone upstairs and entered her room.
There was clearly a look of sadness and disappointment on the woman's face. In his long breath he stared at the dining table full of beautiful dinner plates and various kinds of dishes above him.
Maid: ma'am, what are we gonna do about it?
Kim ji-won: just throw it all away
Waiter: but mistress, this much? You cooked all of her since morning and were full of love then now?
Kim ji-won: everything is no longer useful now, let alone tasting it. My son didn't even turn his back to look at his mother's face...
The servant felt sorry to hear the words of his master.
Kim ji-won: now it's up to you, you can take it if you want. I want to rest first
Maid: well, ma'am
