Whenever I was out of luck finding a place to sleep, I snuck into Chima's room. Chima let me stay the night without taking off my pants. Once I suggested I pay for the room by taking off my pants. But he said if I really wanted to take them off, he wouldn't mind, but not in return for the room. I started to unzip my pants, saying that there was no difference between the two. But he hurriedly zipped them up himself and said the difference was so great that he couldn't possibly explain it in words. As for me, I was willing to take off my pants to pay for the room, but I couldn't do it otherwise. Detecting a stir in his eyes, I felt as if I was doing it in front of my dad. I had often found an inexplicable stir in Dad's eyes. He said it was because he was anxious. Because he was alive, he felt uneasy about making a living. Dad might be feeling better now in that he had stopped living.

His father's replies were the same as usual: "No problem. What on earth could have happened? I'm in good health. Everyone else is doing well too, so there's nothing to worry about." Then his father began to inquire after his family. "What about your family? Are the kids doing okay at school? And you? Are you still traveling back and forth? Must be hard on you. Is your wife in good health, too?" And then, it was his turn to go through the familiar series of replies: His family was all well. Kids were happy at school. He still continued the long-distance commuting. Nothing was wrong with his wife's health. In a way, it always made him gasp for breath. After the exchange of ceremonial words, rushed as if they were chasing after them, they quickly ran out of subjects to talk about

Part of the story Kong says if he had known about all of this ahead of time, he would have given up on things like preparing for employment earlier on, and traveled a lot and had slept with women to his heart's content. Then all of a sudden he blurts out: "Do you know who's the bitterest person in the world at this moment?" "Well... rich people?" "The person whose last orthodontics appointment is tomorrow." I laugh loudly. He continues: the man getting discharged from the army service tomorrow; the college prep student receiving his admission letter tomorrow; the head of a family who's finally able to own a house for the first time tomorrow; the woman giving birth tomorrow; the baby born tomorrow... The people who feel bitter the most aren't those who already have a lot, but those who have a future to await. "You know, Halley's Comet." "Yeah, what about it?"Kong gazes up at the distant sky. "Will it still come here even after the earth's disappeared?"

Part of the story The problem is that people can't tell fiction from reality. How can a writer write only about the things she's experienced firsthand? Don't you agree? There's always those who ask: "Is this your personal experience? How do you describe it so vividly?" So foolish! You must have gotten so many silly questions like that. Don't even bother to respond to that kind of questions. It'll only make you feel bad. I also lashed out at my husband that day. His background is in engineering, so he knows virtually nothing outside the field. That's why he says things like that. I apologize on his behalf.

Part of the story Her eyes drew to the dark gray jacket hung on the wall. The draped jacket made her imagine that only the old man's exterior self had been left there, decent-enough on the surface, yet deprived of its soul. The effect seemed to be doubled by the black trousers hanging from under the jacket, as if the old man had put them together as a coordinate. He had even casually placed a beret over the collar of the jacket. She felt that if she lifted the beret, the old man's face would pop out_the face that looked like a crumbling bar of washing soap. Resisting the temptation to lift the beret, she moved on toward the desk.On the table was a copy of the Bible that the old man was transcribing and an open, widely ruled notebook one would expect to see grade schoolers using. Had he finished copying all of the biographies, all of the twenty-odd volumes? Probably, he was not transcribing the Bible out of any sort of religious faith. He was not Christian, nor did he have any other religion. She found it rather ridiculous and useless for a non-Christian to transcribe the Bible. Especially for a person with a hand that trembled terribly, a hand he couldn't even use to spoon his duck-bone broth properly.
