JINDO, South Korea (AP) — In a dimly lit gym on Jindo island, hundreds of families have received tragic news over the past six months, and a tormented few still wait for it. The last was pulled from the water July 18. [...] divers have found little beyond cellphones and school uniforms — the latter a reminder that the vast majority of victims were high school students on a class trip. Relatives of the 10 passengers still missing remain at the gym, a staging area for the families since the disaster began. [...] the 59-year-old relies on unemployment benefits as he waits for word of his missing brother and nephew, whose portraits he has placed against the bottom of his tent. Jae-keun blows on cup noodles and feeds them to his son, while his wife watches her daughter run around, weaving through a group of schoolgirls. Park spent her last moments with Da-yun scolding the mild-mannered girl, whose dream was to become a kindergarten teacher. Park stays at the gym with her husband, whose employer granted him unpaid leave.
