Relife Player 125
[Chapter 050]
[Night of Flowers Blooming (4)]
A foreign car speeding along the highway.
The foreground was pushed back and a new foreground appeared.
He too was pushed back.
The foreign car, which was running on an empty highway, slowed down at the entrance to Chuncheon City.
At the place where the foreign car arrived on the winding asphalt road, there was a symbol in the shape of a morning glory.
It was the symbol of Dawn Group.
Aren’t you tired from coming here from dawn?
You are. Sorry to call you to such a remote place. sorry what After all, my job is to manage a hotel.
Lee Jung-in was waiting in front of the front door to greet Lee Byung-in from the foreign car.
Lee Jung-in held out his hand, and Lee Byung-in held it with a smile on his lips.
It was from now on.
The reversal that will overturn this whole situation begins.
Originally, life is more like a novel than a novel, so you don’t know unless you read it to the end.
That’s why you’re so affectionate and kind like a fool.
it’s tough. Shall we talk in the morning?
that’s good
─I wonder what choice you will make then.
☆
The second day of the retreat.
After dinner, the children enjoyed a campfire in the playground behind the hotel.
A hotel surrounded by greenery.
At night, in a situation where we had to rely on the hotel’s lights and starlight, the bonfire built high was burning vigorously.
The children enjoyed the game according to the progress of the retreat instructors and burst into tears at the end.
This is because the instructors at the retreat told me to express my gratitude to my parents who will be in Seoul.
Of course, there were also children who did not cry.
Eunha and Seona quietly watched the crying children.
We will start the test of courage from now on.
Unlike Seoul, it is very dark here. The road at night is dark and you may get hurt, so please follow the instructor’s instructions.
The instructor of the retreat explained the courage test to the children who were enjoying the campfire.
The test of courage was to bring a bell prepared by the instructor from the road that leads to an unknown temple that is now collapsing.
The courage test was conducted in 1 group of 2 males and 2 females.
The children pulled out a piece of paper with a number written on it from the box Lim Do-hun brought.
…four times.
Minji looked around at the paper she took out of the box.
The girls were talking about how many times they picked each other.
Among them was Shin Min-young.
The children who had volunteered to cooperate with her in advance sneaked closer to Eunha who took out a piece of paper from the box.
Eunha What number are you? …No. 11.
Anyway, Eunha Noh is like that.
Minji nodded her head saying that she knew that when she saw Eunha, who had a clear expression of annoyance.
Girls do not know what kind of child Eunha is.
You will feel the gap and be hurt when you find out the truth if you simply packaged him as chic, who does not show interest in others.
So, I felt sorry for Shin Min-young, who tried to switch numbers with the child who picked number 11.
I’m a little jealous though
Confessing your feelings to someone you like is a very courageous act.
It is never an action to be condemned.
Confession is the most beautiful act in the world.
Me too… What are you thinking?
I fell too deep.
Minji shook her head and decided to find a partner.
uh? Are you number 4 too?
I know. you were my mate
Minji secretly sighed when she saw a boy with the same attendance number as hers.
He was one of the children who were stained by Noh Eun-ha.
The child was copying the tone and behavior like a galaxy.
I didn’t even reach my toes.
Even in the 12th grade, the galaxy was a subject of fear for children.
The incident in which he broke Jinsena’s spirits in first grade is still often talked about.
However, things have changed a little since I was in 3rd grade.
It was partly because the rumors about him faded due to the power of Min-ji and other children, but it was also because there were children who recognized Eun-ha’s ability.
Eun-ha grumbled that everything was troublesome, but did well as the teacher told her to do.
While showing adult-like behavior, he sometimes led the children and joked around.
Even without paying attention to their surroundings, they noticed things that others did not see or cared for people in trouble.
As the children, who were only very young, grew older, they saw things they hadn’t seen in him.
And his popularity overheated from the fourth grade.
I couldn’t count on my fingers the number of times I received suggestions from girls to tell me about Eunha or to play with her.
the road is dark I know. whatever it will be It’s boring, so let’s finish it roughly and go back.
Whew.
The boy trudged along.
It was visible in Minji’s eyes.
That the boy was too conscious of trying to act like everything bothered him and was preoccupied with trying to finish the test of courage.
It was clumsy and contrived.
No Eunha is a hundred times better.
Minji looked up at the night sky.
The night sky looking up from outside the metropolitan area was infinitely clear.
The moon lit up the darkness and the stars were twinkling.
What do I think of Noh Eun-ha?
I don’t know.
No answer came.
Although he would deny it, the Milky Way was the moon that lit up the night sky.
Oddly enough, I couldn’t take my eyes off him.
Just like looking up at the night sky while walking vaguely on the street.
She was always looking for the galaxy.
So will your friends.
Children gathered around him, like stars gathering on the moon that lights up the night.
Minji was like that too.
Like the stars wrapped in the soft moonlight, she also wanted to become a star.
☆
The prince is the one who wakes up Snow White who fell asleep after eating the poison apple.
Even people who reach out to Cinderella in the glass slipper.
Even the one who rescues Rapunzel from being trapped in a high tower.
A person who saves a princess who fell into an eternal sleep after being pricked by a spinning wheel.
all all.
The one who saves the princess in danger has always been the prince.
what are you doing there
…sorry! I am coming!
Hayang, who had been standing awkwardly holding a flashlight, raised his head at the sound of Eunhyuk calling.
Eunha did the same.
I still remember.
The way Eunha swung her sword against the goblin to save herself.
At that time, Eunha was a prince.
And falling in love with the prince was a natural consequence.
‘─Look at me straight.’
Eunha said so last night.
Hayang understood the meaning of what he said, but did not fully understand.
Even after that incident, Eunha always showed up and saved me whenever I was in danger.
Eunha was not a prince, but he was a prince.
‘There’s no such thing as a prince in this world.’
A prince is someone who brings happiness.
A being who leads any story to end with ‘and they lived happily ever after’.
That’s why I didn’t like The Little Mermaid.
Because the mermaid princess disappears as a bubble without ever getting the prince’s love.
‘I’m not like a prince.’
The galaxy is not like a prince.
Having spent years with him, Hayang knew what kind of person he was.
Eun-ha was sometimes kind and sometimes heartless.
However, it did not change that he was a person who brought happiness.
So I——
Jeong Ha-yang. If you don’t come, leave it?
Oh sorry!
Hayang suddenly came to his senses when he heard Eunhyuk calling.
Eunhyuk had already climbed the stone steps.
She waved her hand holding the flashlight eagerly as she climbed the low steps.
What are you thinking about from now on?
Eunhyuk asked with a curt face.
Out of breath from climbing the stairs, she looked up at Eunhyuk.
What does Eunhyuk think of Eunha?
I suddenly became curious.
Eunhyuk, do you still see Eunha as a warrior?
What are you talking about?
Eunhyuk put on a puzzled expression.
He took out the bell from the designated place and answered her question.
We are no longer children… The captain is the captain, not the warrior. That’s right… I see…
I thought Eunhyuk was thinking the same thing.
Hayang became discouraged.
I don’t know what you’re thinking
He waved a bell in front of her as he bowed his head.
The voice of my daughter rang.
The captain is a person like us. I laugh when happy things happen, feel sad when sad things happen, and get hurt by monsters…
Yeah.
He is neither a hero who defeats evil nor a hero who sacrifices himself to save others.
The captain… Yes, yes. I’m just a hard-working person. Who lives hard? uh. Isn’t that so much nicer?
You’re not a hero or a hero, but in the end you save someone.
Eunhyuk smiled brightly.
Hayang nodded softly.
Maybe that’s right.
☆
The night road was bright. Genetically altered eyes could see through darkness.
She had a flashlight, but it was a mana item.
If I wanted to, I could have run to the temple, which is not far away.
It’s not long. i know too!
The boy following behind answered loudly. And I was startled.
He was surprised by the sound he had made.
There is nothing around. don’t worry too much … how do you know
‘Cause I see it all
yes everything looks
Seo-na climbed the stairs and looked down at the boy.
The dark wasn’t the only thing the boy was afraid of.
The boy was afraid of himself.
Ain himself.
this would be normal
All the kids in her class this year were nice to her.
That was it.
Seo-na knew that some children were reluctant to her, but were inevitably friendly.
Still, the kids were grateful.
At least I’m not blatantly ignoring it.
Know.
That he, who was abandoned by his parents as soon as he was born, would never be sincerely accepted by anyone.
Friends are special.
So you can spend each day happily.
How long will this happiness last?
I didn’t want to think about it now.
Tingling the bell, she looked back at the boy who came up late.
If I’m scared, should I go first? Or will you go first?
The boy, gasping for breath, climbed the stairs and blushed.
He strode over and took out a bell from the box.
You’re my mate when a boy pushes a bell in a triumphant manner !
But where is that! I’m not scared at all, so just follow me!
A child who is afraid of himself but refuses to throw him away.
Serena smiled softly.
Only good kids gathered in the class this year.
Serena looked up at the night sky.
I wondered if my friends had passed the courage test safely.
☆
Kyaaak-!!
don’t keep screaming annoying i’m sorry Stop sticking around.
this is not this
Shin Min-yeong was taken aback when she saw Eun-ha stride ahead.
This was not the plan she had in mind.
Everything went according to plan until he took the test of courage with Eunha.
All that was left was to create a look he wanted to protect while the two of them were left alone in the dark, and secretly cling to him.
But it didn’t work as intended.
As Min-yeong walked down the road leading to an unknown temple, she screamed, fell, or even nearly shed tears.
It wasn’t smoke.
She was terrified of the darkness where she could not see properly, and she screamed spontaneously just from getting caught in the trap set by the instructors.
So I tried to rely on Eunha.
I tried to rely on it, but the galaxy didn’t give me a chance.
For instance, if she says she’s scared and tries to hold her hand,
don’t be mad and pick up the fallen flashlight.
It was tongue-in-cheek.
Also, if I try to cling to him because I am so surprised,
I want to end it quickly. I wasn’t even taking care of a child…
and I was moving forward alone.
As time passed, Min-young became more and more anxious.
I felt like I was left alone in the dark even though we were walking down the street together.
Uh Eunha I’m scared… Can we go a little slower?
It was really scary.
Min-young called to Eun-ha, who was climbing the stairs shaking her body.
He turns his head
.
He sighed with an annoyed face.
She flinched just from his sighing.
now i knew
A sigh mixed with annoyance.
ok i’ll go slow Let’s finish quickly and go back.
Yes.
I’m glad though
for listening to me
Min-young, who was heartbroken,
climbed the stairs.
At the end of the stairs there was a ruined temple, and in front of the main shrine there was a box containing bells.
finished. Can I go back with this now? uh.
It’s half over now.
Minyoung smiled at the joy of getting the bell.
Either way, the galaxy was already trying to go down the other way.
I wish I could take a break for a while.
Min-young hurriedly followed him.
Ugh Eunha!
why?
Before going down the stairs, Minyoung called Eunha.
He descended the stairs first and was in a position to look up at her.
There I am…
Minyoung put her hands on her chest.
It was now.
It was a golden opportunity to convey one’s heart.
She intended to confess to him here. I
was thinking, but
I…
But you know. huh?
Eunha suddenly called.
It was the first time he spoke first.
Min-young looked at him with a surprised but happy heart.
what was your name
…Uh…?
what did you say now?
Shin Min-young chewed over Eun-ha’s words over and over again.
…Ah…
After thinking about it several times, what came out was a small sigh.
You’re not even interested in me.
A gaze that makes oneself infinitely shabby and pathetic.
Minyoung didn’t say anything.
I felt like I was about to burst into tears.
It was too much. Even if I did, it was too much.
Min-young just stayed in place and followed Eun-ha with her eyes as she started to go down the stairs again.
