Lone Star
In the corners of the small neighborhood, where the hustle of life mixes with the spirit of excitement and despair, lives our protagonist, "Kim Jong Hoon," a young man from Korea aged 27. It was just like any other day for him, the clock struck twelve noon, and he sat behind his desk in a small trading company, staring at the computer screen with tired and despair-filled eyes. He didn't realize that this day would be pivotal in his life.
Suddenly, his manager walked in with a stern look and said, "Sorry, Jong Hoon, but we have to let you go. The company is going through tough financial times, and we need to cut expenses." His eyes froze in shock; he didn't expect this decision, he thought his job was secure.
He left the company carrying his personal boxes, a feeling of despair creeping into his heart and soul, as if accompanying him with every step he took. The sun was setting, leaving the sky shrouded in darkness, just like his dark and heavy feelings. He continued walking on the empty sidewalks, thinking about what he would do now, how would he face this tough situation?
He reached his small modest apartment, entered, and threw his boxes on the floor beside the door. He looked around; the apartment was empty and dark, just like his life in that moment. He sat on the floor, trying to ignore the pain filling his chest, but the sadness wouldn't leave him.
"How did I end up here?" he whispered, his words fading into the silence-filled air. The answer didn't come, the circumstances were harsh, life seemed complicated and unfair, without hope and without end.
And so began Kim Jong Hoon's journey into the world of darkness and poverty, where he searches for a light to illuminate his path, and for a new opportunity to restore hope for a better tomorrow.
