On September 1, a post titled "It was an Irritating Night" was uploaded on the social networking service Thread.

On that day, the delivery driver, referred to as Mr. A, had his motorcycle slip in the rain, resulting in about one-third of the food being damaged. Despite his disappointment, he personally apologized to the customer and decided to compensate for the meal.

He explained, "Despite my irritation, I visited the customer to offer compensation and apologized sincerely, asking for their account number."

However, the woman who received the food responded in an unexpected manner. She said, "It's okay, I'll just eat it," refusing any reimbursement.

Instead, showing her concern for Mr. A who was working on a rainy day, she handed him some pocket money and said, "It must be tough out in the rain. You are like a son to me."

In the photos shared by Mr. A, the delivery motorcycle keys and a 10,000 won bill can be seen.

Mr. A recounted, "Although I refused many times, the woman continued to press that warm kindness into my hand," and added, "I put unforgettable gratitude in my pocket and rode away, not knowing whether the drops on my face were rain or tears." He then expressed his emotions at the time, saying, "It was such an irritating night, and I missed my mom terribly."

One internet user who saw the story commented, "You must have been frustrated and embarrassed after slipping on the rainy road, but you still went to apologize and offer compensation, which is heartwarming in itself. And the woman who reassured and cared for you by saying 'You are like a son' made it all the more touching. That phrase must have resonated even more today. I hope you keep that warmth in your heart and get some good rest."

Other netizens also responded, "Reading this makes my heart ache," "I hope you weren't hurt," and "If this happened to me, I hope I would ask about the driver's well-being before worrying about the food."
