Ro Yu Jin

“The son of god Gula has returned.”
I was lost in the world of gambling.
I turned my back on my family and even betrayed my lover.
I wasted every day of my life.
It was the life of trash.
The reality told me thus - that I would amount to nothing no matter what I did.
In order to change my pathetic life, I chose fantasy, instead.
Even then, it was the same story.
I wondered if salvation would come at the end of the long road.
But, I was forced to kneel down in defeat in front of a powerful entity.
The tower I built up with my own hands crumbled into nothingness.
Just for once, I dearly wished to know the truth about myself.
– Come closer, my child…
I will not hold back this time.

It'd be a lie if he wasn't just a tiny little bit expectant. However, the gap between reality and his imaginations proved to be too wide for him to bridge. The reality was cold and harsh as if it occupied the opposite end of the scale from his imagination.


His old habit reared its head; he pulled out a cigarette and began puffing out blue smoke.


His throat felt scratchy. His eyes stung. Maybe because of that, the tears he'd been holding back began streaming down.
