At approximately 4:30 a.m. this morning, a large sinkhole, two meters wide and two meters deep, appeared on Taeyoung Road. As a result, all vehicle traffic has been halted, and significant delays are expected for the morning commute. Concerned citizens have voiced their anxieties…"

The radio cut off mid-news, replaced by the loud beat of a trot song.
A wrinkled hand reached over to turn up the volume.

A sinkhole, right in the middle of the city?

I closed my tired eyes, replaying the news in my head.
They should’ve done the construction properly.

Half-opening my eyes, I glanced at the passing scenery.

The old taxi was cluttered with tacky decorations.

The moment I stepped inside, I knew I had made a mistake.
