“What happened to the holes?’
‘The holes?’
‘Yeah. You said you made the buttons but were stuck because there were no holes. How is it now?’
Minjun shook his head, trying to chase away the sleepiness. He stared up at his friend, a thoughtful look on his face.
‘Easy. I changed my shirt. This time I cut the holes first before I make the buttons that fit. Now, the shirt is buttoned up nicely.”

“Even if I’m angry, I think I won’t feel as miserable. I can always knit or meditate. It’ll still be tough but I’m sure I can get over it. There’s bound to be shitty people in the workplace. I’ll be a contract worker again and there’ll still be people who belittle me at work. But those people are not important to me at all. Inner peace. I’ll find my own peace. I’ll keep the hobbies I enjoy, and I’ll continue to meet good people like you two. I’ll try to fight and win against this harsh world.”
