Chapter 107 – #29_Sunflowers and Milestones
One.
Rattle!
My eyes were opened by the shaking of the train, which shook greatly.
What you see in front of you is probably an empty seat made of stainless steel, and the vermillion sunlight covering it brightly.
I was alone in the room, probably nearing the end.
I wonder if I can be this level of calm… I get sick of myself.
-Titling!
The text came at just the right time.
Look at the cell phone
There was a text message from Shin Harin.
[I’m getting married]
Only five letters.
Even if you wait for a long time, no new message arrives.
It was something I already knew, and something I hadn’t paid much attention to.
Harin probably knew better than Yuchan that this declaration was meaningless.
Still, text messages like this may be a struggle to lean on the last conscience.
Maybe it’s a last request that I don’t touch you anymore because I’m married.
Or is it a profession?
She mixed a lot of her flesh with her, but her woman’s heart was like a tangled skein, and more often than not she did not quite know her.
She put her phone back in her pocket.
If so, what did she get on this train with her?
Then, why did you come here?
Looking out the window while thinking so, there was a white lighthouse perched precariously on top of a cliff overlooking the sea.
2.
“Hello.”
The first girl she met said so.
It’s only been 4 hours since I came to this island,
I bought a train ticket thinking that anywhere is good.
Now that Harin is completely retired, she can’t work as a manager, but she has never been in need of money in her life.
She’s just thinking she’s getting a free hour.
A train ticket to a place where he knew nothing about the name or other characteristics of the train steadily led him into the unknown world.
So we arrived at Wen Island Village.
Deserving means of transportation are the water railway stretching over the shallow sea and the infrequent passenger ships.
It is a terrible means of transportation by building a bridge over the sea where the land reclamation project has stopped and laying railroad tracks.
I think I heard somewhere that a water train is being promoted as a pilot project to an island in the East Sea.
There are few people on the island even though there are such strange things.
In this case, the lack of access to the railway is probably the cause.
It was only about 4 hours of walking, but it was enough to look around the island.
It was that small, and you can understand it by saying that it was not a big deal.
In the meantime, what I saw was right on top of this cliff – in this case, it would be correct to say that it is a sea cliff since it faces the sea – but a lighthouse surrounded by seagulls.
The height of the cliff is 5M from the sea level, and the height of the lighthouse is also about 8M, so I was curious about the scenery that I would only see in a small fishing village.
Such a remote place on a small island.
Contrary to the expectation that it would be a no-man’s land, there were people there.
A girl who is not a grandmother or grandfather.
The girl says hello and at the same time makes a small bow.
Yoo-chan was greeted in a daze and moved his face to her, which was probably stiff, to create a smile.
In interpersonal relationships, a kind smile is the first step to forming a smooth relationship.
“Hi?”
After the greetings, what fills the momentary silence are the cries of numerous seagulls and the flapping of their wings.
A subtle sense of reality emerges from sounds never heard before.
As if this itself is a dream.
Certainly, the opportunity to hear these cries outside of the sea is not uncommon.
Even if you are in the city, the only birds you can see are pigeons at most.
The pigeons the size of chickens, whose jaws seemed to stretch, were disgusting monstrosities.
In that respect, it is not a waste to say that the visuals of the seagulls are excellent.
There is no way you can find a slender body with a streamlined shape in a city pigeon.
Why are there so many seagulls flocking around her? While thinking, she found the answer.
There was a shrimp snack in the girl’s hand her.
It’s about the length of a ring finger, has a comb pattern, and doesn’t look like a shrimp at all, but it’s a guy that takes up a large portion of food for seagulls, perhaps thanks to the unique taste of shrimp.
Of course, he seemed to like this rather than the fish and shellfish he could barely get by hunting seagulls.
Not sure how it tastes…
“I never thought there would be people in a place like this.”
He smiles softly at the girl.
A comfortable smile with a caring voice as much as possible.
This is the expression I got after repeating hundreds and thousands of frowns while looking in the mirror.
But even with that smile that anyone would have let her guard down, the girl trembled and stepped back from her.
Are you shy?
She raised her head for a moment and gave her a quick, observant glance over the girl.
Black box.
It is Yu-chan’s weapon that always displays fraudulent behavior when observing humans.
A large sunflower was buried in the girl’s chest in her.
Large flower clusters suitable for midsummer are in full bloom.
Look at the appearance first before interpreting the detailed meaning.
This was also an act done so quickly that the other person didn’t even think they were being observed.
Hair trimmed in a semi-long cut and a headband worn over the forehead.
Pale skin and lightly pigmented lips and eyebrows.
And with the pale double eyelids lifted up curiously, the large eyes devoid of malice.
Can’t guess the age
If you’re a student, you may look like a student, but the unique mature atmosphere makes you want to be an adult.
Overall, the lines of the body are delicate.
Her skinny fingers her holding shrimp snacks, even though she was second to her her, and her legs her, which seemed to barely support her body her, gave this girl a dizzying sense of danger.
The harmony between her sense of danger and her vulnerability her, which aroused her protective instincts her, was fantastic, and it was clear that anyone who saw her would be fascinated by her lovable and bright aura her.
It was a prejudice she always carried that skinny women weren’t that pretty, but she thought she would have to correct it a bit on this occasion.
Taking the revised baseline into account, this girl was a beautiful girl.
From what I just heard, the voice is nice.
“Were you feeding the seagulls?”
I was taken aback by the girl’s reaction to her to not answering any questions.
That would also be the case because the girl just looked at this direction for almost a minute and didn’t react.
It wasn’t forced, but it was a bit disrespectful for someone who said hello first.
“He’s an interesting person, Mr.”
The belated answer was so absurd that Yu-chan had to inadvertently tilt his head.
The girl covered her mouth and laughed as if she was having fun.
In fact, looking good to her is not that important.
Nevertheless, she did not think that a human relationship with her would be useless.
For the time being, you won’t be able to touch Harin, so it might be a suitable pastime for the time you’ve been wasting away.
Normally, Yu-chan would have left the place with an appropriate greeting, but the fact that she tried to add even one more word would be proof of that.
“Do I look that funny? I had never heard of it being funny.”
He shrugged her shoulders and trembled.
She’s been to so many women that it’s hard to count.
Quite a few women readily opened their hearts to his laid-back attitude and outstanding looks his.
So he was confident to make it this time too.
The bag of shrimp snacks she was holding in her hand her was already in the girl’s bag.
The seagulls, noticing that the food was gone, circled the lighthouse and all scattered and flew away as if going their own way.
The girl who watched the scene until the end opened her mouth belatedly.
“Are you interested in me, Mister?”
“No, that is a strange question.”
Laughter is a laugh that comes from the heart.
Her question didn’t come out of the blue, but she was in the middle of her age, so it was enough to laugh it off, wondering if she was overly self-conscious.
At that laugh, the girl tilted her head this time.
“Are you really laughing this time? Who is your uncle?”
It was only then that Yu-chan felt a strange sense of difference.
The girl’s words don’t fit in with anything.
It is out of the orbit of conversation with normal people.
Displeasure ran through his body.
I couldn’t figure out why I was so wrapped up in these feelings.
“Why did you make that face? You didn’t want to laugh at all.”
“What?”
I asked in a slightly louder voice.
It was proof that he was surprised to that extent, and also because he found a series of commonalities in his conversations with her that he only felt disjointed.
This girl was looking at ‘Yu-chan’ exactly.
Not the face she puts out to face others,
Seeing through her true heart
Exposing herself is what she wants to avoid from the imperfect Yu-chan.
Therefore, through repeated education and training, he must have become a person who is not strange to anyone.
Seeing through such hypocrisy, the little girl unknowingly dipped her hand into it.
And when she met the girl’s unwavering eyes, it quickly changed from a hypothesis to a certainty.
The black eyes trapped in her ice stare at Yu-chan as if looking down, motionless.
“Do you see me?”
“That’s a much weirder question, sir.”
The girl giggled and leaned her body against the drooping fence around the cliff.
It was uncomfortable.
A terrible sense of heterogeneity.
An outrageous feeling of humiliation swells in her chest.
It is human nature to envy and be jealous of others who have what she cannot have.
Yu-chan does n’t understand anything, and she has invaded the room of her heart her with an unfamiliar stranger.
A desire welled up to push her girl, who was bobbing her legs as if on her trapeze, off the railing.
Already in her head she pictured the girl who would fall behind her, be swallowed up into the sea, and be swept away without her shape her.
Are there any eyewitnesses?
It was when she was looking around her unobtrusively.
“Shall I ask a little differently? Why did she laugh at first? When I said hello.”
The emotions that struck her were somewhat calmed down by her next sentence.
She didn’t think it was such a big deal yet.
Because she didn’t think it would be a long-term relationship anyway.
“Because this side is much more comfortable.”
It was only natural that the blunt tone would come out naturally.
Moreover, it is not acceptable to hide from this girl anyway.
It felt as embarrassing as having to act with a serious expression in front of an audience who knew the script.
“Comfortable… What is it?”
“People bite if they don’t look like them. At least I thought if I had a smile on my face, they would look at me.”
He gives an insincere answer with plenty of sarcasm.
“Then you don’t have feelings, do you?”
The girl’s next point was so precise that she was momentarily speechless.
Of course, she couldn’t be said to be perfect, but how many people could notice this far after meeting her in less than 5 minutes?
If the obstacle given to you is a lack of empathy,
Perhaps what she was given was an obstacle called extreme empathy for others.
I had this thought.
Fortunately, it is possible to read minds.
The girl looked up this way with her eyes wide and full of curiosity despite the rude thought of her.
Perhaps waiting for an answer.
“Similar but different. As for emotions, there are a few. She gets irritated and sometimes gets angry and nervous. It’s a pity that it’s mostly negative.”
The expression returns to the most natural.
Even with that hard face, the girl didn’t feel intimidated at all.
Is the first impression of being slender wrong or is it my own pace that doesn’t notice,
As of now, there is no way to know.
“Aren’t you uncomfortable?”
Inconvenience?
Was it “Uncomfortable” To not be able to empathize with the feelings of others?
Yu-chan shook her head inwardly.
On the contrary, it is better not to be bound by the forced combination of messy emotions, so more rational and rational judgment is possible.
For her, the lack of empathy was both a lack and a sharp tooth.
“Not at all.”
The girl, who showed particular interest in Yu-chan’s answer her, who set her day her, came down from the railing and stood on her ground.
The girl holding her wrist with her hands behind her back she walked towards her, and she quickly passed by.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t have to wear a mask like that. I’m not going to say anything just because it’s the way it is. Rather, it is just frustrating.”
What it looks like?
What do you know and talk about?
She reflexively stopped her right hand from reaching out.
If she had lacked her patience just a little, she would have struck her on the back of the neck and broke her neck bones of her.
“The story was interesting. Hello~”
The tone of her voice somehow penetrated the middle, and before she could answer anything, the back of the girl who ended the greeting went away.
She didn’t step out and catch her, but she might have already made up her mind.
I will find this lighthouse tomorrow too.
