Grandma cried whenever she thought about Dad, and Mom was not getting any better, so I stayed home to help. White Ji-yong and Ji-yun were in school during the day, I shopped and sewed and worried. It was hard for me to keep my mind ow Dad and the scene-shop foreman's threats.
The German clock struck four times. I was ,nishing the last sleeve of a jacket for Ji-yun before starting to make dinner when I heard a soft voice calling me from the alley. Who could it be? An Yi always came directly upstairs, and none of my junior high school friends knew where I lived. I put down the sleeve and went to the French window.
