Three people live in Doosan Apartment in Guro-dong. Me, mom, and my grandfather. Even though it has been 12 years since dad died, we are still living under the same roof. I thought it was because of the financial situation that we could not move out of grandfather’s house. But when I found out that mom already had enough money to get a house, I became confused. Why didn’t mom move out from the “x-world” when she could? From a marriage that didn’t work out well, to a father-in-law with a temper. Why has she been enduring it, unchanging, for all the time I had witnessed her life to become a woman against marriage? One day when my anxiousness was at its peak, grandfather suggested that we live separately. Mom, reluctant to leave Guro-dong that she’d been living in for 20 years and her marriage life, will she be able to find herself and move out well?

구로동 두산아파트에는 나, 엄마 그리고 친할아버지가 산다. 12년 전 아빠가 돌아가신 후에도 엄마는 시아버지를 모시고 산다. 희생하는 엄마를 보고 자란 나는 결혼이 싫다. 그러던 중 친할아버지는 갑자기 따로 살자고 하지만, 엄마는 독립할 마음이 없어 보인다.
