√ Children who grew up eating their grandmother’s love
The mother gave birth to the brothers, but left home when Jinwoo and Jeongwoo were young. The person who raised the brothers with love from a young age in place of the couple who later divorced was grandmother Suja (74). Three years ago, when the father met a new mother and started a new family, the children left their grandmother and such terrible things happened to them. Two days before Christmas Eve, the grandmother fell on her way to work and hurt her back. After that, the grandmother quit her job and took care of the children. It was not easy for the grandmother to take care of the children with her sore back when she was already poor. The grandmother even started a side job that she could do at home to make ends meet. However, the income was not much, so she barely made ends meet with child abuse support money and basic living expenses. Due to these difficult economic circumstances, the eldest Jinwoo, who matured quickly, started working part-time as soon as he entered high school and only thought about helping out at home. The children say that they are grateful for the grandmother’s presence, even though she feels sorry for not being able to do anything for her grandchildren. Looking at her grandchildren who have grown up so wonderfully, the grandmother feels both grateful and sorry.

√ Children who wish for ordinary days
Currently, his father and stepmother are incarcerated in a detention center after receiving a prison sentence for child abuse. Jinwoo often visits his father with his grandmother, but his fingers still feel heavy when he writes letters to his father. Unlike his older brother Jinwoo, who has become strong enough to read letters from his father calmly, the second son Jeongwoo is so wounded that he has difficulty even reading his father’s letters. Jeongwoo still has nightmares frequently and sleeps with his grandmother. He says that when he sleeps with his grandmother, he has fewer nightmares and feels stable and at peace. The children say that they would not have been able to smile happily if their grandmother had not been there. The children who want to live smiling with their grandmother in a safe world are still trying to overcome their wounds today.
