Chapter 24: Bare Hands

The roof in Mapo was empty except for one man and the wind.

Tae-hwan stood at the low wall at the edge, with his coat open.

His bare hands rested on the concrete.

Below him the city lights were coming on.

He did not turn when the door banged.

"You came fast," he said.

"I took a taxi. I have never taken a taxi in my life. It cost eleven thousand won."

Seon-ho stopped three steps away, out of breath, his smock rumpled and his hair in his eyes.

"Why did you leave?"

"Because they offered you a car," said Tae-hwan quietly.

"I turned down the car."

"I heard. Inspector Go called me."

"Then why are you still up here?"

Tae-hwan turned round.

In the dusk his face was hard to read, but his hands were not.

They were folded in front of him, loosely, and the right was gripping the left.

"I do not know how to be what you deserve," he said.

"I have a rooftop and a table and a rack of cups no one has used."

"You are the first of your kind. The country will want you."

"So?"

"So I want you to be able to choose."

"I did choose," said Seon-ho. "I chose in the tunnel, with my hands on your chest. I've chosen every day since."
