I shook my head. Surely the heavens would not be so cruel? He had remained kindhearted in a world that was a fist. He had extended friendship to me when he could have left me to die, killed by my own stupidity. He was a father who’d choose to love his son again in the afterlife, the son who had remorselessly walked out of his life. Wonsik was a lantern in this darkened world.
