The Yangshan Welfare Institute, located in a somewhat remote area of Busan, is nestled next to a secluded bay. It primarily cares for disabled homeless individuals who are often neglected by society; many have lost their ability to work and some are unable to care for themselves. While most people choose to support children and the elderly, this group represents a vulnerable population that has been overlooked.
Seeing such a scene for the first time left Anna and Kwang-soo somewhat shocked.
Yoo Jae-suk and Miao PD had visited several times before, so they patted Kwang-soo on the shoulder, signaling him to try not to show too much surprise, as it could cause significant emotional distress to those individuals.
"Mr. Yoo Jae-suk," the director and others came out to greet them, tightly grasping Yoo Jae-suk's hands.
"Director, we brought some items today. Although it's not much, we hope it can help a little," Yoo Jae-suk said.
"Thank you, thank you," the director replied gratefully.
"Mr. Miao Hyung-tae, you've met before, and this is Miss Anna Zheng and Mr. Lee Kwang-soo," Yoo Jae-suk introduced.
The director came over to shake hands with each of them, expressing his gratitude by saying, "Thank you all, thank you."
"Director, the food and clothing are still in the car; could you please find someone to help bring them inside?" Yoo Jae-suk asked.
"Of course," the director replied, then instructed several caregivers to assist in bringing the items from the car into the building.
"And also, Director," Anna said as she took out a check given by Andy and handed it to the director with both hands. "This is a donation from my brother; I hope it can be used for something beneficial."
The director took the box with both hands, his aged and weary face showing signs of redness around the eyes, and said, "Thank you so much."
"Director, is there anything else we can help you with?" Yoo Jae-suk asked.
The director sighed and said, "These individuals, their physical disabilities are one thing, but the psychological trauma is even more severe. We had volunteers who were psychologists come to provide counseling before, but they gave up and stopped coming after a short while. Hiring a psychologist is too costly for us to bear."
"Are they depressed because of their disabilities?" Kwang-soo asked.
The director nodded, his brow furrowing even tighter. "Living without any hope, there are quite a few who have tried to commit suicide."
"But we don't understand this aspect," Yoo Jae-suk said.
The director replied, "I know that, but I hope you can deliver the apples prepared for Christmas to them. Knowing they haven't been abandoned and seeing stars like you should bring them some joy, especially Mr. Jae-seok; everyone really likes you and hopes to see you."
"I see," Yoo Jae-suk thought for a moment. Seeing that the other three had no objections, he said, "Where are the apples? We'll distribute them to everyone."
"Really?" The director smiled happily and said, "That's wonderful, thank you. By the way, I'll have the caregivers wait at the door; if there's anything you can't handle, they'll be there to help."
"Okay." The four of them agreed.
Pushing a cart filled with apples, they formed pairs: Yoo Jae-suk and Miao PD went to Building A, while Anna and Kwang-soo went to Building B to start their work.
The atmosphere inside the building was unusually oppressive, combined with the dimness of winter, sending chills down one's spine.
