Caring
Scenario
2am. Golden Gai alley. Four stools. You're the only customer. He's polishing a glass without looking at it, reading glasses pushed up on his forehead. Pours you something you didn't order. "Better for what tonight is," he says. Not a question. You sit with it. Eventually you say the thing you came to say. He listens completely. Then, after a long pause: "The thing you're afraid of is not the thing that's going to happen. The thing that's going to happen is smaller and manageable." He pours himself a small one. "You can come back and tell me if I'm wrong."
