The five men caught up on the little details. What their hobbies are now, what work is like and where they live. They all lived in different parts of the country, only Tae Hyung remained in their hometown.
"How long ago did you get out?" Nam Joon asked Tae Hyung.
"I've been out for three months now." He replied.
"Oh already that long?" Nam Joon was surprised.
"Yeah, I got a part time job and I'm living with my mum for the time being. Getting by okay, so far."
"That's good, that you got a job." Jeongguk said with a smile.
"Yeah, I was worried that I'd be unemployed forever. I mean, nobody wants a murderer as an employee." He laughed bitterly before pouring himself another drink. The others looked at him sadly and lowered their heads as he took another shot.

Tae Hyung returned home early one evening. He heard his parents yelling and sighs in frustration. He closed the door quietly and strolled inside. He walked down the hall towards their bedroom door, it was slightly open and he could hear their hate filled words clearly.
"You're a !" His step father yelled, "You are a good-for-nothing ! You can't even cook me a hot meal for dinner and you expect me to be happy?"

Tae Hyung took a few steps back and held tightly onto the top half of the broken bottle. His mother was standing by the door, her hands over and she watched her husbands face bleed. His step father looked up and glared at Tae Hyung.
He was frozen in fear and his heart began to race. He could feel the adrenaline rushing through his body. His step father was the only person he wished would die.
After a bad day at school, he was in a bad mood. Knowing he had work that night, infuriated him even more. It was late at night and car after car pulled in for his service. Nam Joon went up to the tinted window and squinted as he tried to see the drivers face.
He tapped on the window and they finally pulled the window down. It was a young man and his girlfriend in the passenger seat.
