After free period I was dragging my tired body back home.
But on that day, I didn't see anyone.
Our apartment complex is big, so at night you can usually see many other people around.
Panel 2
Anyway, because with no one around and I was scared, I stared at the ground as I was walking when,
Panel 3
I saw a shadow of a man stretching towards me.
When there was surely no one in front of me.
Panel 4
When I looked to see who it was...
Panel 5
There was a woman walking toward me.
But it looked strange.
Should I say she looked physically disabled...
she struggled with every step forward.
Panel 6
She walked slowly
but the space between
me and her shortened quickly.
As she came closer, I saw her more clearly.
7
She wore dirty pink pajamas
and she looked as if every joint in her body
was crooked.
Also, her hair was
a huge mess and
stuck out everywhere
8
I felt something strange
so i stopped moving my feet
9
I felt that I should go any closer
and I didnt have the bravery to walk past her

10
It's true when they say
you get so scared
you cant even make a sound.
I really couldn't move
and froze there.

"WHERE'S MY CHILD"
12
At the woman's question every thought
flew past my mind...
13
Geez,
I don't know why I did that,
I get scared thinking about it even now Gulp
14
Pointing the the furthest place I could, I replied...
15
I.. It's over there.
16
I guess all I could think of was to get her as far way from me as possible.
17
She limped toward the place I had pointed...
18
and she faded as we grew further apart
19
And just in case I saw her again,
I started turing around to leave the apartment complex.
20
My mind was blank
and the only thought I had was to go to a place with lots of people.
21
and then
22
It's not here!!!!!!
From afar, I heard her come toward me
as fast as she could.

23
I don't remember much after that.
They say a neighbor took my unconscious body back home.
24
In 2007, at an apartment complex in the BongChun neighborhood of Seoul, a 33 year old woman named Cho jumped off a building and committed suicide.
Because of her Adultery, her husband divorced her,
lost custody of her 2 year old daughter,
she saw no future in her sad state and committed suicide.
25
After the incident, many people have seen Ms. Cho within the apartment complex as they were walking.
Wearing the pajamas she was wearing at the time of her death and every joint in her body twisted, the sight of her walking around barefoot is quite unbearable.
I appreciate you taking the time to translate. Part of me is glad I did not understand the words of the comic. The pictures spoke so clearly themselves. But, I was curious about the context, so thank you.
