---

[Summarize this chapter]

이삭이 죽고 나서 집안 분위기는 아주 침체되었음. 요셉은 말이 없고, 감정이 없는 사람이 되어버림. 그래서 경희는 식당에서 일하는 시간을 좋아함. 오롯이 자기 자신이 되어 즐겁게 일할 수 있었기 때문. 그런데 김창호가 이제 문을 닫을 거라고 함. 왜냐면 일본 정부가 철이란 철은 다 가져가 버렸기 때문임. 그래서 마지막으로 손님을 받기로 하고, 경희랑 김창호는 장을 보러감. 선자에게 유통업체 직원이 온다고 해서 남아 있으라고 하고. 그런데 그 사람은....!!!!!!!!!!바로 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!한수 자식이었음! 알고봤더니..... 김창호 가게도 한수 가게였음. 계속해서 한수는 선자와 그의 아들, 가족들의 삶을 지켜보고 있었던 것......... 무너지는 선자...... 괴로운 선자 ㅠ_ㅠ 

근데 한수는 빨리 오사카를 벗어나라고 함. 이제 미국이 이곳에 폭탄을 터트릴 것이기 때문에, 자기 아들 노아 지키려면 빨리 벗어나라고 함. 

에휴...에휴... 너무 재미지다... ㅠ_ㅠ
