Once Upon A Time in Seoul

One morning, Mayu woke up to the noise coming from Hwan's house. She prepared herself while hearing the arguments get louder. She went out of her room and went to the dining area, where her parents were having breakfast. She looked at her parents, who were casually continuing with their breakfast. 


"Eomma, I think we should stop them," Mayu said to her mom, who was eating at the dining table across from her dad, who was reading the newspaper. 


"Mayu, we should not get involved with their family; it's their problem," Mayu's mom said. 


Mayu sat beside her mother to eat her breakfast. 


Mayu's heart raced as she listened to the sound of Hwan's parents fighting in the next house. The heated argument had been going on for some time, with raised voices and angry words filling the air. But suddenly, everything fell silent.
