[Sleep Audio] A Tale of Broken Youth & Growing Pains | "The Rooster" by Lee Hyo-seok | Classic Literature Reading

from Slow Night Ancient Tales · host Kyle Kichul Yun

Eul-son, a young agriculture student, faces an indefinite suspension after yielding to the temptation of stealing a single apple from the school's orchard.Stripped of his pride and future prospects, he is utterly crushed when the mother of his beloved, Bok-nyeo, abruptly breaks off their promised engagement.In his yard wanders a crippled, weak rooster that constantly loses fights to the neighbor's birds, returning home battered, bleeding, and half-blind.Seeing his own pathetic, defeated reflection in the mangled creature, Eul-son's unbearable frustration and profound self-loathing boil over into a tragic, violent outburst against the helpless bird.태그: Lee Hyo-seok, The Rooster, Korean classic literature, sleep story, bedtime audio, melancholic fiction, ASMR reading, ancient tales, sleep aid, slow storytelling
