With the skills learned from the government program, I work for an architectural firm making a structure sketch. I do not stand out anywhere, and I am not welcomed much. However, I happen to live with two abandoned cats, Joe, who runs a small bar, and even the ghost appeared from the wall in my underground house. I am a 24-year-old man, whose mother left home and his father killed himself, with a broken heart. However, one day these innocent characters came to me and I ended up living full of courage after filling the emptiness inside myself by spending time, having a relationship with them, and saying goodbye to them.
