That night in Yangpyeong

Added on November 6, 2025 by Jaime Permuth.

I wish I had a photograph of that night in Yangpyeong when I was hurtling through the darkness and the beam of my handlebar light picked out the frozen stare of a large deer, standing in the middle of the road, just a few meters ahead.

The encounter was sudden, urgent and fraught with the danger of collision.

It was also utterly and completely different from what the reality of my life in Manhattan ever was.

You can pack a suitcase and go.

But what will life be like on the other side of that leaving?

양평에서의 그날 밤 사진이 있었으면 좋겠어요.

어둠을 가르며 달리던 중, 내 자전거 핸들바 불빛이 도로 한가운데 서 있던 커다란 사슴의 얼어붙은 시선을 비춰냈던 그 순간의 사진을요.

그 만남은 갑작스럽고, 긴박하며, 충돌의 위험으로 가득 차 있었어요.

맨해튼에서의 내 삶의 현실과는 완전히, 철저히 다른 경험이었죠.

당신은 가방을 싸서 떠날 수는 있어요.

하지만 그 떠남 저편에서의 삶은 과연 어떤 모습일까요?
