나의 루마니아어 수업

Autumn, the narrator says, is when everyone turns lonely or pretends to. Studying Romanian at university, the narrator befriended solitary Eun-gyeong, translating all night the novels of Cebotaru, an unknown Romanian author, for her to read aloud. Then it ended without warning. Behind the memory lies a love of literature later given up for practical reasons. Years on, the narrator asks after her and hears shocking news.
