A group of people, including individuals with disabilities and volunteers, went out for a meal together at a restaurant.
However, an anonymous patron secretly paid for their meal, which came to about 600,000 won, and quietly departed.
On October 15, a group of 27 people, including individuals using a welfare facility in Incheon and their volunteers, visited a barbecue restaurant following an outing.
While they were busy enjoying their meal, a restaurant staff member approached one of the volunteers.
The staff member whispered, "A customer who left just a moment ago paid all of your dining expenses."
Someone had quietly paid a total of 600,000 won, which included 410,000 won for the meals up to that point plus 190,000 won for beef tartare.
It was truly a heartwarming gesture.
The welfare center wanted to express their gratitude, but the patron had already left without even leaving a name.
The volunteer only heard from the restaurant staff that the customer had seen them dining from a welfare facility and wanted to do something meaningful.
"We experienced a warmth that we will never forget for the rest of our lives," the volunteer recounted afterward.
It is news that reminds us the world is still worth living in.
