DB Vol 8 Part 1

If someone were to ask what life is, Won-woo had only one answer. To him, life was a 'debt.' Everything he had now was thanks to the luck of the past.

He lived because someone had reached out a hand; he survived because someone had pushed him forward; he remained alive because someone had made room for him.

It was the same during the war. There were times he lived because the person next to him died by a hair's breadth, and times when the place he had stayed exploded just a few dozen minutes later, killing everyone who had been there. These were moments that could only be described as luck.
