Answer 1

In the story "Cranes" by Hwang Sunwon, Tok-chae does not leave his home with his childhood friend Tok-chin's father to avoid betraying their friendship. He wishes to remain loyal to their bond despite the political differences that have arisen due to the Korean War, as Tok-chin has already been conscripted into the army. These conflicting loyalties create a moral dilemma for Tok-chae, compelling him to make a difficult decision.
