I heard police siren came closer, it’s weird. Why they had to come here? There’s nothing wrong. I was really curious and got out. Polices were standing in front of my neighbor’s house. What happened? Then I saw Mir, the little boy who’s living in that house. He was held by the polices, he’s screaming. I went to him and asked about what was happened. “This kid murdered his own father” the police said. “WHAT? IT ISN’T TRUE! HOW COULD A LITTLE KID LIKE HIM…” I grabbed the police’s collar. “Hey young man, kids nowadays are weird. That’s the negative influence from watching TV. It might be happened. All evidences showed that this kid murdered his father” he said. “YA! DO YOU HAVE BRAIN? HE’S FREAKING SEVEN YEARS OLD! THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE!” I grabbed his collar tighter. I let my hands off and grabbed Mir to my side. “Do you want to put him in jail like the other murderers? ARE YOU CRAZY?” I held Mir’s hand tightly, his hands were trembling. “You’re a noisy neighbor, man” he said. “And you’re such a ing crazy policeman” I said to him. “WHAT? Just shut up and we’ll take that kid to the police station” he said. “YA! You can’t take this innocent little kid. He’s only seven years old and his father died, he’s now alone…” I yelled. “That’s himself who killed his father” he said. “I SAID THAT HE DIDN’T DO IT!” I yelled louder.

“You can’t punish him, I’ll take care of him and make sure that he won’t do anything bad” I said. “But he’s….” he tried to deny. “That’s final, you can’t punish him. I’ll take care of him” I said. The police finally let him off. “Lee Joon, you’ll take the responsibility of him fully. You know that we still don’t believe at that brat” he said. “Now go, I believe he didn’t do that… and don’t try to mess his life with this ‘fake story’. He’s still young and this can destroy his mental state” I said to the police. “Okay, agree… We’ll leave” the police and the ambulance left the house. I still held Mir’s hand. I looked down at him smiling “Mir, do you know who I am?” I asked. “Lee Joon? The police said so” he said innocently. “I’m Lee Joon, your neighbor. You didn’t go out often, it’s okay if you don’t know me” I smiled. “Can I call you hyung?” he asked. “Of course, you will live in my house from now on” I said. “Huh? With you?” he asked. “Yes, you can’t live alone in that house. It’s dangerous” I said. “Will it be okay?” he hesitated. “It will be always okay! Call me hyung comfortably” I said. “Yes, Joonie-hyung” he replied sweetly. I knew he’s not a murderer, that eyes… are innocent. I knew it.

“Joonie-hyung…” he softly called me. “What?” I asked. “I didn’t kill appa, I don’t remember anything. But appa had died and I held a knife on my hand. I don’t know why I held a knife…” he said. “Mir… I knew you didn’t do it” I said. “Why? Even polices don’t believe. Police is a great man” he said. “Even if they’re great, they don’t know the truth” I said. “Truth? How can you know I’m honest?” he asked. “Mir, the one who knows the truth is god and yourself…” I said. “Then why did you…” he didn’t understand. “I don’t even 1% think you’re a murderer, you’re pure… and I trust you. I don’t care about the others” I said.

“Thanks, Joonie-hyung… for believing me. No one has believed me… I promise that I’ll be the one who trust you when the others don’t believe in you… Thanks”
