Mangsik Past (2) T/W

Mangsik saw his dead father, his mother had not even taken him down yet and he could tell that it just happened. He did not know how to react, doubting his eyes as he called.

"C'mon dad! That is not funny..." His weakened voice whimpered, there was no way the man that was full of life just decided to leave without any hint but he saw a side note on the table.

It was wet from his mother's tears and he slowly read the contents of the letter.

He squeezed the paper in anger after reading it, the man he looked up to that had preached to him on how the strong was meant to protect the weak was, in fact, weak himself.

Mr. Bak had been involved with loan sharks and the repayment prospects looked impossible, he had all but signed his life away and could not do it anymore nor could he talk to anyone about it.

He carried it all alone, waiting for the strong to save him but that savior never came.
