Diary Entry ( The ending where Tae-yul returned to his family)

15^th June 1945

Dear Diary,

The world war has finally come to an end! Now that it is over, Korea is free again. The Koreans no longer need to follow the commands of the Japanese or learn the Japanese Language. The best thing is that we can all change back to our Korean names! Abuji, Omoni and Sun-hee were all rejoicing when I stepped into the house hours ago. The feeling of happiness and the bonds between our family has been gone for quite a while. Now it is back and it is stronger than ever before. The sensation that is in me that wants to lurch out cannot be expressed in words. The only word that comes to my mind is home. It is the one and only place where you can feel safe and happy.

Tae-yul
