In Korean, the words for "apple" and "apology" sound the same – sagwa. Out of that coincidence grew a custom: you give an apple when saying it out loud is too hard. In a Korean home, the snake is Eopsin – a guardian spirit you put up with and are afraid to drive away.
A silent apology to your own keeper. Not for a wrongdoing, but for the mere attempt to choose your own path. Strange, asking forgiveness of the one who was supposed to keep you safe.
