I remember the evening when my father came home in his new SONATA, and even the weekends when my mother taught me how to drive. And every time I went on a long road trip with friends, the SONATA was always there with us. (…)

What does a car mean to a family? How different would Korea be in the 1980s compared to after the 2020s? My father, once in his forties, is now in his seventies. I, once a grade-schooler, am now in my mid-forties. My old friend and I, the same old pair, have planned to meet at a shopping mall with our wives and children. We'll likely spend the whole day chasing after our kids, too busy and exhausted to sit for a cup of coffee. When can we go on that glamping trip we promised? Realizing that these ordinary moments in life are the most precious feels like a gift of time. And one day, out of the blue, we'll call each other and ask, "All's well, right?" We'll see how we're all the same and gain the strength to keep moving forward.
