Happily Ever After

  If you had the chance, what would you like to escape from? This may sound like an ordinary question but in fact, the question itself is wrong. You don't need a 'chance' to escape.

A North Korean soldier plans to defect to the South in order to live a life of freedom. However, if he is caught, he will be killed instantly.    I honestly thought that there was nothing left to surprise me anymore.

These traits arouse uncomfortable distress, which isn...
