But, as time went on, he grew to love him more and more, and so he removed the latch on the back of the house so that he wouldn't have to worry about Yujin's dad coming back. He says that, as soon as he opened up to his father, he knew that raising a child was a burden he couldn't afford, but that he would be different now that he had a father. He adds that he heard a lot of rumors about him, and that's because his father was just keeping the house empty. He's not sure how to repay the principal on the loan, so he decides to start a new life with his father.
