Mr. Huh, a 50-year-old factory worker, has seen several female corpses every time rescue divers brought bodies back from the sunken ferry Sewol and onto the rescue wharf. He believes his daughter will come back to him as there are still some 20 passengers trapped in the water-filled cabins. By the way, he was scared that he might not recognize his daughter even if she is brought onto the wharf.
For the first two weeks after the ship's sinking, he could ascertain whether any of the bodies brought back were that of his daughter, but it is now almost impossible to identify who's who. He was told a DNA test would tell. Still his pulse increases any time he sees a rescue boat returning to the wharf.
His wife, the mother, has been hospitalized and she keeps mumbling; "I killed my daughter. My girl was timid and my husband and I suggested she take the school trip, and have fun with her friends on Jeju Island, even thought she was somewhat reluctant. Therefore, I pushed my daughter into the water."
The father reminiscences: "I left for work early in the morning while my daughter was asleep. I was pleased to read my daughter's messages on my phone – ‘Hi, Dad.' Sometimes she waited for me at the train station, and she jumped up and folded her arms into mine. We walked back home. She was a beautiful girl."
