[Episode 141]
I can hardly remember the characteristics of the star keeper I saw in my dream.
Three years have passed and now there is not much left until my death. In the meantime, I was neither unhappy nor overly happy.
Yes, it was the height of mediocrity. I could do whatever I wanted to do, but that was it.
I wasn’t happy because I had a place I wanted to go back to. I was not unhappy because I folded my mind.
“Hyung, what are you going to do today?”
“What Miso likes.”
“I am an egg roll!”
“no.”
The two people who became close because of me talked a lot.
Well, I’m not sure if it’s ‘Doran Doran’. What is certain is that the mysterious man who did not even tell me his name tended to dislike the dog man next door.
‘I don’t know when we got this close.’
There was a chance that both of them were the star keeper’s tricks.
Isn’t it?
Both of them have permeated my daily life so casually.
Every time I went out, the kid next door popped his face in and said hello.
The other one often met whenever I went to visit my grandmother in the hospital, and one day we talked and became close.
When I said that I would fill my meal with delivery food or convenience store food, he suddenly broke into the house saying he would make food for me.
It was these two who saw each other almost every day.
‘Even if you think it’s a star…’
The two only saw cases where they helped me. He didn’t specifically try to kill me or put me in danger.
‘Unfortunate…’
When was a person most unhappy?
I thought for a moment and then sighed. I don’t know. It would be nice if nothing happened like this.
“You don’t look good. Mr. Smile.”
“no.”
“Are you worried about your family?”
I shook my head at the man’s question with a smile on his face.
“No way.”
No, to my surprise, I didn’t feel anything.
He quickly prepared an appetizing meal and set it down on the table. Just two plates, exactly mine and his own.
“Eek hyung, is it mine?”
“Did you eat it?”
“…death.”
The dog next door grunted very dissatisfiedly, but brazenly settled down with his hands full of rice.
I thought for a while as I stirred the food with a spoon. Time is running out.
‘I begged you to make me blind…’
Starkeeper star…
I looked blankly at the sky and sighed briefly.
‘I don’t have an answer… Ah?’
Come to think of it, there was only one person out of the two who wore a similar outfit to that star keeper.
‘Ah, this person is the culprit.’
I laughed briefly.
Looking at it, I think I know a little bit. When a person is most unhappy, miserable or fearful.
‘There were several days left.’
I tilted my head and smiled lightly.
Death was fast approaching, right in front of us. If it were my world where everything I wished for came true…
Then I wanted everything to be taken away from those people.
everything except life.
So, as much as I was miserable, just as unhappy as I was…
I wanted to be just as unhappy as I was, no more, no less. Ignored and scorned by others, and abandoned miserably by those who trusted the most.
If that was the case, there was nothing more I could have wished for.
* * *
“Why did you ask me to come here with you?”
“Today is the last day.”
tomorrow i die
So today, I brought the neighbor’s dog to the house where I lived before and answered with a light smile.
When people are most miserable and miserable.
It’s probably…
“You’re here at last! You damn bitch! Year Goyan! I told you everything you did in the past four years!”
The grandmother who went to the nursing hospital yelled at me with a finger.
“It’s disappointing that you did that. Tea smile! How dare you tell grandma!”
My father yelled at me with an expression that was no different from the old days.
“I was the problem because I thought I would do well with you again. Even though my mother was sick, she never showed her face… The fact that I gave birth to you is terrible.”
Sometimes with my mother who says the words that hurt me the most…
“Yes sister. You said it was a sin that you were born. You were a child who shouldn’t have been born.”
“Yes, it is natural that people like you are hated!”
There was a difference between Chai-hyeon and Chai-hyeon, who spat out sharp words when they were young.
Yes, that’s probably…
what you believed in is thoroughly shattered, and the shattered remains touch the trauma.
If there was a moment of agitation, Star Keeper would surely have had what he wanted.
I slowly lowered my head.
“Oh my God. I guess everyone likes you, after all.”
Even when he was betrayed by someone he trusted.
But it wasn’t too surprising. The moment I realized the culprit’s intention, I roughly expected all of this.
If there is an existence in this world that can control a person’s mind, why is there no existence that can control the wound?
However, if there is something that the Byeolkeeper has overlooked, it is that I have already finished organizing my mind a long time ago.
Already these people couldn’t leave any wounds or scars on me.
It’s a pity that grandma came back intact… but
I slowly put my hand in my pocket and grabbed hold of the cold object I touched.
“But it’s okay. sister. You can be happy if you go with me. I will love you with all my heart….”
A man came up to me with his hand on my shoulder.
hook-!
At that moment, his body, which had been laughing like a bright boy, tilted to the side with an eerie sound.
“sister…?”
Even with a fountain pen stuck in his eye, he didn’t scream or spurt blood.
“That was correct.”
I pulled out my fountain pen and was about to stab the other eye. Even if he didn’t rush back.
“How…”
he said, squeezing one eye with his hand.
Something was pouring out of his eyes. It was neither blood nor liquid.
Yeah, if I had to put it that way, it was… like the Milky Way.
The black, sticky liquid filled with silvery stars was truly apt for the name Star Keeper.
Looking at the cluster of stars spit out by the starkeeper, I just exhaled.
Are there children as unfortunate as the number of stars in the world?
“You always wear a hat in the sun.”
“That’s…”
“But he did too. star keeper That guy always wears a bowler hat too.”
so ok
As I added, he gnashed his teeth.
The family members behind them were frozen as if they were out of order and did not respond.
“Many people wear hats!”
“Yeah, but… there was only you around me.”
“What….”
“Stars emit light on their own, but star keepers are beings that bury themselves in darkness, contain starlight, and move along with starlight.”
A star keeper would be more comfortable moving on a night without the sun.
Stars usually lose their light under the sun.
“So I thought you couldn’t see the intense light.”
I wondered if there was a double meaning in the words of young Cha Mi-so who asked to be blinded.
“No, you are mine. You can be born again and be happy! Let go of that happiness…!”
“You know, I’m happy enough.”
When I giggled, he muttered something nonsense.
“I can’t be happy. How can a dreamer be happy? Your happiness is only in a dream…”
“Because…”
I smiled.
At that moment, a hand that suddenly reached out from behind grabbed the star keeper’s neck in an instant.
“It’s so…!”
One eye of the star keeper rolled back and forth.
“There is someone who likes me and comes all the way here to protect me.”
Wood deuk-
Byeoljigi’s neck stiffened and then bizarrely snapped.
“And my dream has already become a reality.”
So there’s no way you wouldn’t be happy.
At my words, the star keeper’s one remaining eye widened.
But even that was short-lived. Perhaps because of his broken body, he slowly melted away, and then he soaked into the ground and disappeared,
but he didn’t seem completely dead.
Being blinded means that as long as you don’t blind both eyes, there’s a good chance you’ll come back to life.
“Thank you for your help.”
“I have lunch.”
A man who always silently prepared meals for me as I went to and from the house every day suddenly appeared and said,
I thought it was going to be long until the end, but…
After all, if one side is the villain, the other side must be the prince.
“Lucillion.”
“….”
“Why do you always serve food?”
The man pursed his lips and smiled. It was definitely different from the green smile he usually shows.
“That’s right, if you don’t recognize me, I won’t be able to talk to you first.”
“…Aha, is it my fault?”
“It’s not like that.”
Lucillion reached out to me.
“I waited for you to call me.”
“…I wasn’t sure until the end.”
He said there was an assistant, so I wondered if someone was an assistant.
“Don’t worry about them, Master.”
“…That bastard’s voice.”
“yes?”
“It’s good to hear it after a long time.”
As I grinned, Lucillion grabbed my hand and pulled me.
“Go back.”
“okay.”
“Don’t worry, those people will be miserable throughout the future.”
“what?”
“I wrote everything down.”
“hand? What kind of hand…”
The man’s smile with his eyebrows widened was exactly the same as Lucillion’s when he had a mischievous thought.
Suddenly, the bloodstains on his hands came to mind. I was about to ask who he killed, but I just kept my mouth shut.
“…No, yes. Let’s go back.”
“yes. I will watch until the end.”
“huh.”
A few days later, part of the officetel where they lived collapsed.
The deceased was a 30-year-old unemployed woman who was unlucky enough to read a novel early in the day.
