√ Unexpected gift, late-born Eun-seok
There is a reason why Eun-seok grew up to be such a dignified child. Eun-seok’s parents became married a long time ago through matchmaking. At a time when Eun-seok thought that he could spend the rest of his life farming after giving birth to three siblings and making them independent, Eun-seok, the last child, was born. It was an unexpected gift, but farming and raising children were not easy tasks for an elderly father and a mother with level 3 intellectual disability to handle. Although she has been a farmer all her life, her mother is in poor financial condition, without her own rice fields and machinery. After suffering two traffic accidents a few years ago and having to undergo surgery, her mother continues to suffer from pain to the point where she goes to the hospital almost every day. Eun-seok is worried about his sick parents and goes to farm work himself, saying he will help them. From the age of nine, he started helping his father with rice farming, and before he knew it, he was as good at it as an adult. His parents only feel sorry for putting a burden on their youngest child, who would not be able to grow up receiving only his love. However, Eun-seok says that his hard work is not difficult for his parents.
√ Eunseok’s dangerous nest
The health of his elderly parents is a big worry, but Eun-seok has another worry. It is a house so precarious that you never know when it might collapse. Eun-seok’s family lives in an old house where they have lived since their grandmother’s time. After the roof of the old house collapsed a few years ago, water started leaking here and there. Not only the roof, but even when I turn on the kitchen sink faucet, water leaks onto the floor and causes a flood, so I often end up putting rubber basins here and there. On days when it rains a lot, I often stay up all night worrying that my house might collapse. Every time she sees Eun-seok, who has lived in a house full of mold since he was young and often catches colds, his mother worries. Nevertheless, fearing that her mother might be worried and feel sorry, Eun-seok tells Eun-seok that she likes the house she is staying in now. Her mother’s heart breaks as she sees Eun-seok not knowing how to complain at such a young age. Eun-seok is at an age when it would be nice to play with his friends, but Eun-seok always thinks about his parents and farming first. These days, Eun-seok’s only dream is to live happily with his parents in a home where his body and mind are comfortable.
