(English) Suspicious Caregiver
Eunsoo is an 18 year old girl. Since she left the Hope Foster Care Center on the day of her turning 18 years old, the tag of a “protection termination child” has been following her. She is still young and in need of adult protection, but society has officially and unilaterally ended protections, giving her the tag.
Society is not an easy place to survive. The sudden reality of turning into an “adult” is a burden too heavy for her to bear. Everyday is a war for Eunsoo; she struggles to pay rent and earn a living.
While Eunsoo is enduring her tough life day by day, a rage begins to well up from deep in her mind. Why should I, only I, live like this? Other kids my age all have nice parents and live worry free lives. As time goes by, Eunsoo’s rage is directed to a person, the old man who made her get off on the wrong foot. She decides to become his resident caregiver. She does so in order to take revenge on him.
Once he had everything–good social status, financial stability, and a beloved family. However, they all began to leave him one by one. He has lost everything including his physical freedom as the last. Suffering from Parkinson’s disease, he cannot even keep his footing by himself. There is nothing left that makes him feel attached to life.
One day, a girl comes to visit the old man who has lost his will to live. She says that she wants to be his caregiver. Barely looking old enough to be of age, the girl seems to have a plot in mind. The old man retraces his memory. The memory of the incident that forced him to remove his judge robe.
