[Episode 140]
“You are not alone anymore.”
At the young Cha Mi-so’s words, I jumped up from my seat, wiping away my tears with the hem of my sleeve.
“You are not alone either.”
“Yeah, if this works… you and I won’t be alone.”
The little Chamiso laughed.
“Is that man a star?”
“That’s right, I’m still hovering around you. They are looking to retrieve your soul.”
“…huh.”
“The more unhappy and miserable you are, the closer he can come.”
“…I’m trying.”
At my firm words, young Cha Mi-so smiled and nodded.
“I think so. But misfortune doesn’t always come from the places you expect.”
“are you okay.”
“It’ll be fine. Your helper is by your side.”
“aid?”
“Well, the number of people who truly care about you has increased so much.”
My eyes widened at the words of young Cha Mi-so. I couldn’t figure out what you were talking about.
“The one misfortune given to the character Cha Mi-so made a part of the world. You had hundreds of misfortunes, and as many as the number of misfortunes… the pieces of the world were filled.”
The fact that Eirin’s world, Charnett’s world, and Dad’s world were all filled with my unhappiness was something I didn’t want to believe.
“Should I continue to be unhappy?”
“No, you created a world where you, who are unhappy, will be happy. That’s all.”
A world where the unhappy me will become happy.
Hearing that, it seemed like it was a little bit, a little bit worthwhile.
‘If all my misfortune was to meet my dad and Etam’s family…’
Then this isn’t too bad either.
“God… said that if we were happy, the Star Keeper would give up on us.”
Little Cha Mi-so looked at me and said. It was a bittersweet voice unlike the appearance of a young girl.
“But I hate it.”
“…what?”
“With him, even if not us, children like us will live in this bondage for the rest of our lives.”
It was a voice that blew frost.
I frowned after trying to trace the meaning of the words of young Cha Mi-so for a while.
“You don’t mean to save them all, do you?”
“Anyway, it’s not that far.”
Little Cha Mi-so shook her head.
The child who added that he had neither the confidence to do it nor the ability to do so looked at me with a fiercely burning gaze.
The anger coiled inside his pupils was so great that he couldn’t even fathom its size.
I couldn’t get a sense of how much anger that little body had endured until now.
“But… you can kill that starkeeper.”
“…”
“At least I can rescue the children from the clutches of the star keeper.”
said the young Cha Mi-so.
It was definitely not an eye to save someone. It was just a look that would cut someone down.
There, there was a child who wanted revenge as if he wanted the reward of a hellish life.
“Now is the golden opportunity.”
“…why?”
“Byeolkeeper doesn’t originally hang around us. They watch from unknown places and appear when they detect an abnormal signal.”
At the young Cha Mi-so’s words, I let out a short breath.
“But you mean you’re with me now?”
“Yes, no matter who it is, it will definitely appear in front of you. Even for a moment when you are unhappy.”
The young Cha Mi-so said firmly.
I watched the child silently. The meaning of what the child said was clear.
“You mean revenge.”
“that’s right.”
“Let’s kill the star keeper.”
“that’s right.”
The answering voice was firm and there was no hesitation. It was only natural that young Cha Mi-so wanted revenge.
I have no memory of Byeolkeeper, but young Cha Mi-so must have watched all the Byeol-keeper’s actions instead of me.
It’s exactly like I want to get revenge on my grandmother and family.
“…How do you kill the Star Keeper?”
“eye.”
“eye?”
“The Star Keeper’s eyes are so special that he can observe the time of every child in his grasp.”
These are the eyes that see children who have the same dreams as us. The added voice was somehow gloomy.
“Once you lose an eye, you can’t get it back. So, turn a blind eye.”
“Blindness…”
“Any method is fine. Let those eyes never see the stars again.”
I couldn’t reply to the young Cha Mi-so’s words.
The surroundings are blurred.
“for a moment…!”
When I hurriedly reached out to young Cha Mi-so, my eyes were already white and I couldn’t see anything.
“Ah…”
The world has disappeared.
It was surrounded by bright light, and then darkness fell.
When I opened my eyes after a long time, I…
“Ouch…”
I fell to the floor of the bed.
“Ugh… How the hell did I ever sleep…”
This is how I slept. Seeing the bird still chirping, I opened my phone.
‘…I slept another day there.’
Baeksu really didn’t have an answer.
* * *
Time passed quickly.
I’ve just been pretty crap.
As in the past, I thought of my dad and other family after reading a new novel, and then I thought of Lucillion and my friends.
If I wanted to go, I traveled, and if I wanted to play, I played again.
And…
‘I almost died several times.’
I don’t know if it’s the power of that star keeper or not, but I had a little bit of bad luck.
When I pass by, a sign suddenly falls from above, or a truck that runs well suddenly turns the steering wheel in my direction.
Oh just like now.
Kiyi Iik-!
Baaaaaang-!
Now, to be honest, I’m tired of it.
It wasn’t just once or twice that his life was threatened in the past three years. At first I thought my liver would fall off, but now it’s nothing.
And every time like this…
“Oh noona! are you okay?”
There was someone who saved me like a ghost.
“Uh huh…”
It was the dog-like man who had just moved in next door. Today, the man wearing the cap was smiling as brightly as a boy.
And…
“Good afternoon Mr. Miso.”
There is also a mysterious man who comes to feed me every day.
So, it’s probably the same killer I bumped into at the time…
Seeing him staying by my side, it seemed to have something to do with me.
It’s not because the rice is absolutely delicious.
“sister! How long are we going to avoid?”
Anyway, in addition to that, there was a stalker-like bastard who always came to my house.
‘Isn’t he really tired of 3 years?’
I moved in the middle, but I couldn’t figure out how the hell he knew the address and kept following me.
It was because they were talking nonsense that a real crime had to happen as a matter of legal sanctions because it was a family relationship and I had to report it to the police.
“Let’s go in.”
When I saw Chai Hyun appearing in the alleyway, I turned and headed for the officetel.
“Hey Cha Smile! Mom…!”
I reflexively stopped walking.
A neighbor’s dog with my arms crossed and a man in a suit from the grocery store stopped walking with me.
“My mother has collapsed…. she is in the hospital now….”
“….”
“Looking for you.”
“Ha…”
I breathed out after a while.
I didn’t like the little brother who was mixed with my blood who kept bringing out that name as if it were a magic word.
“My father’s business isn’t going well these days… you know. That’s why my grandmother went to a nursing hospital too.”
“….”
“So my mom is also getting proper treatment now…..”
“Hey, Chai-hyeon.”
I laughed and turned my head.
“uh…?”
“whatever.”
At my words, Chai-hyeon’s eyes widened.
“If you die, you die. Didn’t I ever say that I wish both you and your mother would die?”
“Nuna, no matter how you are…!”
“I’m sorry you became an idiot… yes. I want to see if you can live well even after that handsome face is gone.”
At my words, Chai-hyeon opened her mouth and clenched her fists.
It felt funny to stare sadly with teary eyes. It was like that for all three years.
As if I had become a sinner, as if you had loved me so much since when.
My father sent a text message that he hadn’t done before, and my mother packed side dishes and came to my officetel.
Chai-hyeon and Chai-do are stalking each other every day.
‘Is this what I wanted?’
puck.
Everything I wished for has already disappeared in the past. Byeoljigi is doing something very funny.
Not a single piece of my already broken heart will move again.
Rather than affection or pity, irritation soared now.
“Come in, Miso.”
“Ah yes.”
“I said I didn’t like my sister, but I don’t know why she keeps chasing me.”
“…I know.”
I thought as I entered the room with two men of significance.
The two men I first met the day I returned to this world.
One is a man covered in blood and I don’t know what job he had, and the other is a man who suddenly appears next door to me.
‘It looks like one of these two is a star keeper.’
I wasn’t sure which one was the star.
I narrowed my eyes and looked at the two carefully.
