I played innocent. But I started to wonder if I’d been found out.  It wouldn't have been the first time. Um-ma had many eyes in Bupyeong. A few weeks ago she found out that I stole a bicycle outside of town to joyride with the T-Shirt Alley boys. The Drunk, Stinky and Kim Soo were homeless and had nobody to answer to. But I got the end of the broom for that one. Last night I was careful. I was a true slickyboy, lifting a mug of Makali rice wine from an Ajjoshi at the local Korean bar. Running all the way to the bridge without being seen by any of Um-ma's spies, and without spilling a single drop.
