유치원 가족의 날, 남편 송지헌은 회사에 일이 있다는 핑계로 나랑 딸한테도 참석하지 말라고 했다. 실망이 가득한 딸아이의 얼굴을 보자 가슴 아픈 나머지 혼자서라도 데리고 가기로 마음먹었다. 그러나 유치원에 들어서는 순간 남자아이를 안고 소꿉친구 안소정과 손을 잡고 걸어가는 남편을 목격하게 될 줄은 몰랐다. 웃음꽃을 피우며 화기애애한 모습은 마치 진정한 가족 같았다. 곧이어 나랑 딸을 발견하자 송지헌은 눈살을 살짝 찌푸리더니 안소정의 손을 놓아주었다. “유미야, 오해하지 마. 소정은 싱글맘으로 독박 육아가 결코 쉽지 않거든. 오늘 아들의 5번째 생일인데 아빠랑 놀러 가는 게 소원이래.” 나는 의미심장하게 그를 바라보고 허리를 숙여 딸아이의 작은 손을 붙잡았다. “아리야, 아저씨한테 인사해.”

After the school cafeteria for elementary school kids shut down, I decided to offer meals for all the kids in our building at my home. At the end of the month, when it came time to settle the bill, one of the neighbors wasn’t happy. “The new caterer downstairs only charges $2.50 per meal, but you’re charging us $5! That’s an extra $75 per kid per month. Do you have no shame?” she accused me. I calmly explained that I only used free-range meat and organic vegetables in my meals. But no matter how patiently I tried to reason with them, the parents insisted I refund the difference and demanded I charge no more than $2.50 per meal moving forward. When I lowered my costs to meet their demands, they started accusing me of mistreating their children. They went online to expose me and even reported me to the authorities. The online attacks were relentless. I was fined, and my husband lost his job because of the controversy surrounding me. The stress pushed me into depression, and in the end, I jumped off a building to end it all. When I opened my eyes again, I saw those same parents being swayed by others in the neighborhood to send their kids to the new daycare service that only charged $2.50 a day. What they didn’t know was that the lunch caterer next door did serve meat every day—but it was frozen, diseased pork that had been sitting in storage for two years.

죽은 지 5년째 되던 해, 엄마는 경찰로부터 전화 한 통을 받았다. “따님의 소식이 들려왔습니다.” 엄마는 동생을 데리고 곧바로 고향으로 달려가 외할머니댁 문을 거칠게 열어젖혔다. “석경이는 어딨어요? 그 못된 계집애, 참 잘도 숨었네. 얼른 각막이나 빼서 동생한테 이식해야 해요!” 외할머니는 울음을 삼키며 말했다. “석경이는 이미 죽었단다.” 그러나 어머니는 비웃으며 소리쳤다. “헛소리하지 마요! 경찰이 분명히 소식이 있다고 전화했다고요.” “지금 당장 석경이 안 데려오면, 엄마도 당장 집에서 쫓겨날 줄 알아요!” 외할머니는 그런 엄마를 보며 눈물을 머금었다. 그리고 떨리는 손으로 내 사진을 꺼내 보이며 말했다. “석경아, 너는 네 동생을 구한 걸 후회하니?”

“I want you back, Laura.” He muttered, and I looked at him like he had just said the biggest joke in history. He wants me to foolishly accept him with open arms after everything he did to me? He must be dreaming. “It's too late. I do not want you anymore.” I replied and turned to leave, but he blocked my path. “I know I hurt you, but if you'd just give me another chance, I promise not to hurt you again. I love you.” “Keep your feelings to yourself, Antonio. I'm engaged. My wedding is in a month. You're invited!” I threw the invitation at him and walked away. ***** Laura is shocked when her husband, Antonio, returns from work one day and throws a divorce paper in her face. He already signed it and asked her to sign her part. She had given up everything to be with him, and even though he treated her like trash, she still loved him and was ready to bear the pains that came with the marriage just to be with him, but a divorce paper? Nah, that was just too much. When she refuses to sign, Antonio brings another woman into the house, and instantly Laura knows she is no longer needed. Not being able to bear the ache of seeing them together, she leaves but unknown to her, she was pregnant. 5 years later, she was back with an adorable baby boy, but she is no longer the Laura everyone knew. Her ex-husband wants her back, but it's already too late. She was remarrying.
