Summary
Taking off the boxing gloves, facing destiny
The struggle of a girl in despair
The protagonist of the novel, Wang Xia, has been called “King Arthur” since she was in school. It was in elementary school when she introduced herself in English and said, “My name is King Arthur.” He started boxing in his second year of middle school, at the suggestion of his friend Ae-sul, an idol trainee. Under the grueling training of Jang Myung-pal, Wang Seo-ah became the Korean champion in the amateur boxing flyweight division. She continued to train with dreams of becoming a world champion. To do so, she would wake up at 5 a.m. to do road work and strength training, and after school, she would hit punching bags and spar in the gym.
She and her mother lived in a sandwich panel house built on a greenhouse. Seo had been unhealthy since she was a child and boxing helped her regain her health, but her mother became increasingly ill and was eventually hospitalized.
One weekend, on her way home from meeting her friend Ae-sul, Seo-ah is approached by a strange man in a suit who offers her 50 million won to make a secret deal. The offer is for Seo-ah to turn herself in for a violent crime committed by a girl named Somi, who is similar in body type and face to Seo-ah. In exchange, Somi's father promises to help Seo-ah's mother get a heart transplant, and all of her debts will be settled.
Seo-A eventually accepted the offer, went to the police station, and turned herself in. Somi's father provided her with a lawyer, and Seo-ah saw the video of the victim, Se-hee, being beaten by Somi on the CCTV in the investigation room. But things took an unexpected turn. When Se-hee died in the hospital, the charge changed from simple assault to assault and battery. Against the expectations of the police and her lawyer, the prosecutor handed Seo-ah over to the criminal court, and she ended up in a four-person cell in a six-person detention center.
