A Warm Winter's Night

 

After losing his job, Jaeho’s body and mind were falling apart. 

 

Above all, he was desperate to find money for baby formula for his daughter, who was barely one year old. 

 

He could not ask his relatives and friends for any more help since he had already received money from them several times.

 

 

 

Today, again, he left home in the hope of getting a job. He walked through the frozen streets and past gray piles of ashes. 

 

As he walked, the winter sunshine fell like ice on an old wall covered with children’s graffiti.

 

As the sun fell, Jaeho turned to go home. A whole day’s useless effort was weighing him down. 

 

Then Seonghun, his friend from high school, came to mind. Seonghun would surely not turn him away, but it was hard to turn his steps in his friend’s direction. 

 

Seonghun, a painter, had long lived in poverty himself. Still, Jaeho missed his friend very much today.

 

The steep wooden stairs sounded lonely as Jaeho climbed up and turned toward Seonghun’s studio. 

 

In the corridor, he ran across a middle-aged man who had just come out of the studio with a painting wrapped in white paper.

 

Jaeho opened the studio door and stepped in. 

 

When Seonghun realized it was Jaeho, he beamed with a welcoming smile and showed him in. 

 

 

The stove was turned off though it was midwinter. Seonghun, who was wearing thick clothes, looked tired.

 

“Sorry, it’s cold in here.”

“You know, I’m not a guest. Anyway, it’s not cold.”

 

Jaeho took off his coat to make his point and hung it near the door.

 

“You haven’t had dinner, have you?” asked Seonghun. 

 

“I’ll run down and get some ramyeon. Wait just a second.”

 

While Seonghun was away, Jaeho looked around the studio. 

 

On the wall he saw a painting of a poor urban man dragging his weary body home in the dark after the day’s work. 

 

He gazed at the man for a long time, thinking of himself. 

 

Even that would be better than having no job at all.

 

While eating the ramyeon, Jaeho tried to find the words to explain why he had come but could not open his mouth to ask for help. 

 

 

At long last, the friendly conversation ended. 

 

Jaeho went back to the door and took his coat off the hanger. 

 

It was as heavy as his heart.

 

“Well, I’ve got to go, Seonghun. Thank you for the ramyeon.”

 

“I’m sorry for only giving you ramyeon. I should have treated you better.”

 

“Don’t say that. I enjoyed it.”

 

Jaeho paced around the bus stop, which was covered in darkness. 

 

He thought of his wife and his little daughter as a cold wind whipped his face. 

 

As he shoved his hands into his pockets to warm them, he suddenly noticed an envelope. 

 

 

He took it out, opened it, and found five 10,000 won bills and several smaller ones. 

 

He could not allow Seonghun to do this when he could not even heat his own studio! 

 

Jaeho rushed back and climbed the steep steps. 

 

When he passed through the dark corridor and was about to open the door to the studio, he heard Seonghun’s voice from inside.

 

“Darling, I’m sorry. The man who was supposed to visit the studio today to buy a painting didn’t show up. 

 

I know I promised to buy Sumin a doll and crayons for her birthday, but all I have is bus fare home.”

 

Jaeho stood completely still, then silently turned, and went back down the stairs.

 

Blowing on his frozen hands, Seonghun made a painting in the cold studio. 

 

Instead of a doll and crayons, he would bring a little bear laughing and sticking out his pink tongue. 

 

Thinking of how he would try to turn his daughter’s disappointment into smiles, Seonghun stepped out of the studio with the still wet picture in his hand. 

 

His other hand fell on a plastic bag hanging on the doorknob. 

 

Inside the bag was a cute doll sitting on a box of crayons.

There was no note in the bag. However, Seonghun knew.

 

Snow started falling from the dark sky as if it were a blessing from above. 

 

Like the silent snowflakes, friendship lit up the cold, dark city streets. 

 

Snowflakes sparkled in the light of a street lamp as Jaeho stepped onto the bus to go home.

 

Love is most beautiful when it approaches quietly.
