ABSTRACT

Eulhwa had given birth to Yongsul when she was no more than a fifteen year old girl. That is, she was not married and the father of the child was none other than the young man with the scruffy hair who lived next door. But this is not to say they were lovers or in any amorous relationship. All that lay separating the two houses was a solitary fence and as a result, the two households came to know each other as well as they knew themselves. However, it did not look as if the bundle of unkempt hair particularly fancied her nor of course did he get up to any tricks.
