The author, Mr. A, who identified himself as an express bus driver, recounted an experience on the 19th aboard a Seoul-bound express bus departing from Daegu. Before departure, a middle-aged woman approached him and said, "The child is 13 years old and has to go to Seoul alone. His older sister is waiting there," asking him to look after the elementary school student, Mr. B.

After hearing the mother's request, Mr. A started driving the bus and arrived at Seonsan Rest Area located in Okseong-myeon, Gumi-si, Gyeongbuk Province. Instead of getting off immediately, Mr. A told Mr. B, who was still seated on the bus, that he would buy him dinner.

At first, Mr. B declined, but when Mr. A said, "My son is also 13 years old," to show friendliness, Mr. B opened up. The two then had dinner together at the restaurant used by the bus drivers, and Mr. A also gave Mr. B chocolate and a bottle of water to eat during the remaining travel time.

Afterward, the bus safely arrived in Seoul, but Mr. B did not get off immediately and approached Mr. A. He shyly gifted Mr. A three sausages. Mr. A said, "(Mr. B) held his sister’s hand who came to pick him up and bowed 90 degrees together with her," concluding, "It was another peaceful story on the express bus today."

Netizens who read the story left warm comments such as, "A heartwarming story after a long time," "Even if asked, it’s not easy to approach, but it seems like a father of a child the same age could do it," "It’s so cute that the elementary school student held his sister’s hand and gave sausages as a sign of affection," and "It feels very human."
