It was a normal day for the Kwons. They went on with their lives like they used to without knowing the impending doom they will soon face.

"Mithra, gummy did not report for work?" Mithra fidgeted on his spot, wanting to cover for the single mother.

"She called in sir, her daughter's sick." Mithra hesitantly says
