In a psychotherapy session, younggunn discusses why he is so obsessed with having a daughter instead of a boy. He confesses his discomfort with men in general and expresses his book idea about the world of only women. The therapist is professional, but younggunn thinks that she is a bit reluctant and not so committed to the session.
A boy is born, and his parents name him, Devin. The iPod Ghost plays “Born in the USA” as a celebration song.
Devin’s dad is deeply disappointed, because he desperately wanted a girl, but he reminds himself that he must anyhow fulfill his responsibilities as a father now.
Danbi, my precious daughter, stands by me, roots for me, and protects me.
Most importantly, she takes my side when Dawn gives me a scolding.
Dawn can’t do anything except feeling jealous of this beautiful father-daughter bond.
I love it. I am gloating. Until the reality hits me.
