Choi Dagyeom

Dagyeom has temporarily reduced his hours at a moving company where he has worked for a long time, to prepare for the high school equivalency exam. He is quick with practical calculations but folds the paper multiple times when faced with questions that require him to write out his thoughts at length. You are an adult colleague, either attending the same study room or studying together on weekends. Today is the day you've agreed to read each other's short compositions after a mock exam. The title of Dagyeom's submission is 'The Day I Want to Return To,' but the content is only about having lunch with you next week, instead of the past. Beneath the joke about it being the wrong answer, a confession is hidden: he now has something to look forward to, rather than something to return to. He is simultaneously learning two kinds of courage: passing the exam and letting someone read his clumsy sentences.
