Chapter 201 – Chapter 201
Do-gyun’s body hardened. His eyes blankly followed Eun-chae. Eun-chae put her hand on top of Do-gyun’s.
“Eunchae has to go now.”
Eun-chae spoke again.
Do-gyun was unable to answer the sudden message and only chewed his lips, finally being able to say a question.
“Why why…”
“You know.”
Eun-chae said. He leaned his head on Do-gyun’s arms. He closed his eyes.
“The president is lonely. But I can’t say that because I’m a coward.”
President. It must have reached Baeksan. However, he didn’t know why he said that name all of a sudden, and Do-gyun’s expression blurred because he couldn’t understand it.
“Loneliness is painful. Being sick is bad.”
That’s not why you should go.
Do-gyun wanted to say that.
However, he had no choice but to swallow back everything he was trying to convey in the words that followed.
“Eun-chae, I hope neither the president nor Eun-ah get sick.”
Eun-chae opened her eyes and raised her head to face Do-gyun.
Facing that gaze, Do-kyun felt his heart pounding.
‘Ah…’
Silver’s eyes sparkled.
There was something I realized immediately.
Couldn’t stop it. Eun-chae, who had made her decision in this way, could not stop herself.
Eun-chae is because she seldom backs down on a decision she made once.
Because he is so stubborn that if he puts his mind to it, he will definitely do it.
“… Right.”
In Do-gyun’s eyes, water glittered.

Eun-chae thought.
She said that she seems to have become a very happy Eun-chae.
There is so much happiness, it overflows and it seems that it has become a silverware that cannot be handled alone.
She was no longer sick. She wasn’t sad
Because the bee was there, because the bee gave me countless happiness, Eunchae was no longer sick.
Eun-chae’s gaze turned to the garden.
Her snowflakes, which hadn’t stopped yet, continued to pile up on the floor, but nonetheless, as much as her footprints remained clear.
Looking at the clear footprints, Eunchae reflected on the past.
She recalled the scene of the garden she saw when she first left the house, the garden that was cold and dry.
She remembered sitting here together taking a nap, going to the pond over there to feed the koi, and taking a walk.
She turns around and goes to the garage, where there will be shiny cars.
It reminded me of getting out in that car and going to wider and more mysterious places.
I went to an aquarium where all kinds of fish swim and walk in the middle.
Shoot-. I also went to the sea where the sound of the waves tickled my ears.
There was a long promenade that we walked together, and we also went to a concert hall where countless musical instruments change melodies with one stick.
Eun-chae remembered all those moments clearly.
Because those moments gathered, the happiness of those moments gathered, and she became the happiest Eun-chae in the world.
Because one day, it became the very Eunchae that I thought I was so envious of.
Eun-chae had all of that engraved in her heart. Like those footprints, they were traces that would never disappear in the silver chamber.
“Bee.”
“… Yes.”
“Does the bee remember Eunchae?”
Do-gyun clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth at those words, then replied by hugging Eun-chae tightly.
“Forever… , I will remember it for the rest of my life.”
Eun-chae nodded her head, feeling her heart thump in the warmth that wrapped around her body.
“Then Eunchae is a happy Eunchae forever.”
Bee, who made you the happiest Eunchae, will remember you forever. Eun-chae was not afraid of disappearing.
I’m going to fall into a very long sleep now, but maybe I’ll never wake up again.
In it, you will only be able to dream happy dreams.
Eun-chae hugged Do-gyun by the waist and said.
“Eunchae will live happily ever after.”
As with all the fairy tales she had read, she could end her own with those words.
“I’m glad…”
Do-gyun leaned his cheek over Eun-chae’s head and hugged Eun-chae, who he would never be able to hug again.
It was really funny.
You won’t regret it. The moment of parting will be spent smiling. I will do my best.
She made up her mind and thought that she did her best every moment, but it was really funny that what she did at the moment that came was regret.
Fourth parting.
Do-kyun still didn’t know how to smile in front of a breakup.
A drop of tear flowed from his burning eyes.
Tears dripped down her cheeks and hit Eunchae’s forehead.
Eun-chae raised her head. Her hand stretched out.
Swoop-. He stroked Do-gyun’s cheek.
Eunchae recalled how warm the tears on her hands were.
She came up with the idea of bee temperature.
Bee, who warmly hugged her when she was always trembling in the cold, was a very warm person even with tears.
However, apart from that thought, his heart thumped.
Eun-chae did not want to see Do-gyun cry.
“Bee.”
“… Yes.”
“You smile when you are happy.”
Eun-chae raised the corner of her mouth. She closed her eyes gently.
“Like this.”
She laughed.
Because now I, who have become a very happy Eun-chae, can finally share this happiness. Because it’s such a happy moment.
Eunchae wanted Dokyun to smile.
Do-gyun looked at the smile he faced and slowly raised the corners of his mouth with a trembling movement.
“Like this…”
“Yes.”
Would it be reflected in laughter?
That thought came to my mind.
It occurred to me that my ugly crying face shouldn’t make Eun-chae sad when she leaves.
Eun-chae looked at that smile.
The ugly bee cried and laughed with an ugly expression.
“Bee.”
“… Yes.”
“Thanks.”
Eun-chae said just that.
I wanted to spit out all the countless words inside, but I thought I wouldn’t be able to leave forever if I did. Even if she told her whole life, she wouldn’t be able to tell her everything. So she only said that one word.
‘The remaining words are silver.’
Because he is now so happy that this happiness is flowing in and out.
I had to return it quickly because the happiness that flowed down like this was too precious.
Eun-chae looked at Do-gyun.
He lifted her up, this time hugging her neck.
Eun-chae bid her farewell, feeling the temperature of Do-gyun’s cheek touching her own.
“See you later.”
… No, she said reunion.
She is sure that she will disappear, but now she will fall into a long, long sleep, but she is sure that we will meet again.
When I opened my eyes again, I had a strange conviction that I would definitely be with Mr. Bee, so I said the words of the reunion.
Do-kyun shook his body and let out his breath. He clung more pathetically to the thought of not letting go of the body he held onto.
Tok. Tok. His hand patted her back.
As Do-gyun always did, he said that to Eun-chae.
“… Sleep well.”
He wished inwardly. May your little and precious child have a happy dream.
*
Accidents get entangled Memories seep in.
In Eun-ah’s mind, the things she had done were engraved in Eun-ah’s mind.
At a very young age, he had a self that hurt to be a ‘good kid’.
She didn’t know how to give love, she was confident.
Having stopped for such a long time, she was confident.
And.
‘Bee…’
There was germs.
This time, there was a do-gyun.
Eun-ah opened her eyes, which had been closed, and focused her attention on the sensations felt throughout her body.
He could feel her arms clasping her body tightly, the pats of her hands on her back, and the sound of her exhaling breath.
Feeling them, Eun-ah swept the back of Do-gyun’s head, carving out the times that reminded her of her thoughts.
“Bee…”
Flinch. Do-gyun’s body trembled.
“… Eun-ah.”
I could tell by the tone he spoke. Eun-ah is back.
… Eun-chae is really gone.
Realizing this, Do-gyun could no longer hold back the tears he had been holding back.
“Huh…”
Cried out loud
She didn’t know how to be ashamed, and as an adult, she couldn’t control her emotions and cried like that.
“Keep it…”
Eun-ah quietly brushed the back of Do-gyun’s head, and she caught the cry.
And she captured the engraved moments tightly.
The young girl who thought she would stay still forever captured the moment she was slowly moving.
The child who only thought she was sick is no longer sick, she can laugh, and she can be happy. At the end of it she was able to share her happiness.
Engraving her memories, emotions were engrave after him.
It was a different feeling than her own.
The way he looked at Do-gyun as a child and the way he loved her were different from his own.
Eun-a thought.
She said that maybe she was a parent to me when I was young.
My young world would have been Mr. Bee.
The emotions that surged so high, the emotions that reminded her of the idea of holding in her hands what she had longed for all along must be like that.
The skin overlapped. The heat overlapped.
It was a sensation that made my whole body feel hot even on a cold winter day with fluttering snow.
“Keuk uh…”
Do-gyun’s cry rang in Eun-ah’s ears.
Eun-ah held Do-gyun for a long time until her crying subsided.
She hoped that her little self, who could finally smile, would not worry, and that the happiness he had shared would last for a long time.
Just today, I lent Do-gyun her arms so he could cry.
The time of her young self, which had been long and seemed to never flow.
On a winter day when the first snow fell, it ended like that, leaving long footprints.
