Chapter 109 – #29_Sunflowers and Milestones (3)
One.
Not a short time passed.
Yuchan went to the lighthouse every day at a time when the West Sea was likely to be there.
There was always a girl there.
Conversation with her was as interesting as Yu-chan, who felt terribly bored with most of her conversations with her.
She didn’t get caught up in the stereotypes that people tend to get caught up in, and she didn’t respond with mass-produced words full of ostentation.
There were downsides of not being able to read her mood her and trying to read Yu-chan’s emotions her at will, but the conversation her with her was always fresh and new.
To the extent that her existence her here is a justification for her being here.
To put it bluntly, the girl was like an immature child who didn’t know the world.
That figure was also something Yu-chan didn’t have, so she might have been curious about the girl that much.
She casually looked at her phone her.
It always reminds me that around this time is the time when Harin sends lewd pictures.
Although it was an agreement based on one-sided threats, she has faithfully kept the promise.
But the phone was silent.
I guess so.
Because it was none other than himself who threw her away just because she was tired of her now.
Now, there is no way for me to contact you separately.
Emotions that cannot be summarized in one word have arisen.
No matter how much I thought about it, there seemed to be no words to express this feeling.
Anger?
Not.
Jealousy?
It can’t be.
Sadness?
At this point, it’s a fucking joke.
To put it simply, the feeling of being gently tickled around the heart with a feather coated with poison.
Wrong.
The more I try to express it, the more I don’t know.
“I don’t know.”
He smokes a cigarette and murmurs softly.
The furthest stranger to man is himself.
“So do i.”
In that respect, Yu-chan also resembled a human.
2.
There was a lot of clouds that day, so there was less sunlight.
It would have been a perfect opportunity for her to take a walk, as she was extremely reluctant to sweat.
Contrary to her neat appearance of her, she was sweating profusely than she expected.
Arriving at the lighthouse earlier than usual, she held Yu-chan’s wrist and led him down the grassy path.
She walked the island while being guided by the small hand of the West Sea.
Because she had built up a solid intimacy over the years, this amount of physical contact came naturally.
“This place is small, but if you look closely, there is a lot to see. Let me guide you.”
She knew that it had been less than two months since Seohae, who spoke confidently to me, had been here.
Even taking that into account, she didn’t object too much because her residency her was much longer.
The West Sea is leading the way with excitement.
The main walking course was the beach road.
It is not a sandy beach, but a road with a cute residential area on the breakwater.
There were cracks in the road from the sea breeze, and grass seeds were sprouting in between.
I heard that it is a place with taste, but there is no inspiration.
Yu-chan had never felt the emotion that moved her heart to her.
No matter how beautiful it is, it is certain that it is a peaceful and quiet place.
Only 2 or 3 people met residents.
Still, if there is something surprising, it must have been that all of them greeted her with a sense of friendliness to Seohae, and she was greeted naturally as if she were also a native of this place.
I think it is meaningful that the affinity of the West Sea has made the residents of this small town on their side in just two months.
In fact, the fact that she was able to reach her for the first time,
She thinks she was moved by the affinity of hers rather than her fit her.
There was not even her awkwardness in her dealings with her, if I set aside her discomfort from her Yuchan’s flaws her.
It is a low humidity day for a summer day.
Except for the occasional salty wind blowing, even the sky was calm.
After talking about this and that for a long time, the shadows of the streetlights were stretching in the setting sun.
Suddenly she opened her mouth.
“Mister, I want to try a normal life.”
“A normal life? For example, what is it?”
“Um~ I’ve been receiving outpatient treatment since middle school and hospitalized treatment when I went up to high school, so it was difficult to have time to meet friends and have a smooth school life. Besides, when I came here, I lost contact with all my friends.”
“Is school life a normal life?”
“Well, it’s very broad, but there are more including that.”
“What?”
“Stop by friends at a clothing store, studying for an exam, chatting at a cafe, school trip, boyfriend.”
In particular, he secretly looks at Yoo-chan, saying that he is a boyfriend.
Yu-chan smiled inwardly.
Young women are easy to seduce.
Her mental age her is higher than that of her boys, so she naturally turns to older people.
Yu-chan’s composure and adult-likeness to her have always brought her great results.
Her embarrassment made her feel happy to think that her relationship with her would go down the route he knew.
“If it’s your boyfriend, I think I might be able to help.”
“Puhaha, I’m dating a man like you because I’m sorry.”
Yoo-chan’s expression hardened at Seo-hae’s reaction to her, holding her stomach and laughing.
She doesn’t move as she wants from one to ten, no matter what kind of woman she is.
I swear it was the first time I’d had such a hard time.
Seohae, who had a smile like the sparkling sea, said while covering her mouth her with her hand, hiding her laughter.
“I will be grateful to you from the bottom of my heart.”
“You’ll be fine.”
Although she was blunt on the outside, Seohae, who was leading with feathery steps, suddenly stopped as if she was happy.
In front of her was a bicycle that had been neglected for months.
“Daddy, can you see that?”
“Yeah, just watching.”
“Can you burn that down?”
“I think that’s broken?”
Yu-chan scratched her head and glanced at her bike her.
There is rust in some places on the frame and the chain is in a mess.
It is not something that can be ridden properly even at a glance.
After thinking about it for a while, Seohae said.
“Daddy, please fix that. I want to ride it. Instead, I will be your girlfriend.”
“Don’t be silly.”
When she waved her hand, dismissing it as nonsense as usual, Seohae boldly blocked Yuchan’s way her.
The brightly raised eyes meet Yuchan’s eyes.
It is an uncomfortable eye as straight as it is.
Yu-chan avoided her gaze, hiding her frown.
“Are you serious?”
“Didn’t you say you had a weak heart?”
“I can ride in the back and you can drive.”
“Okay? I will refuse.”
“Wait a minute, mister.”
Seo-hae, who ran quickly in front of Yoo-chan, who moved her steps her, grabbed Yu-chan by her collar her with her hand her.
And, as if pretending to be deadly, I look up at him with an alluring gaze.
“I’m going to be your girlfriend for a day. Do you really hate it?”
“You said you don’t get along with a man like me?”
“They say they can reconsider if you give them a ride. How about it? Aren’t you tempted?”
Seohae twists and turns her body to show a sexy look.
The movements and atmosphere are so awkward that it only gives you the impression of seeing a bird dancing a courtship dance.
There is no way Seohae, who seems to have no taste for men in the first place, is good at it.
“Ha~ Really, not everyone can have this kind of opportunity~”
It was painful to watch more, so I nodded moderately.
Well, I accidentally got into bike repair.
Fixing her bike is a story after quite some time, and the story of riding her bike is with her is even later.
3.
Since the clouds were especially thick in the morning, she was enjoying her afternoon coffee leisurely after picking up the laundry that had been hung out of the rain camper.
Since the inside of the camper is narrow, it took no time to create a comfortable living space by turning on the air conditioner to remove moisture.
“Mister!!! Mister!!!”
In the meantime, I suddenly heard the urgent voice of Seohae and the sound of knocking on the door of the camper.
More than enough to break the silence of the rain, she went over to her door and unlocked it, displeased.
Seohae had never visited Yuchan before.
There might be a reason why she never told me the location, but no matter how fierce the West Sea was, if she had seen her camper heading towards her lighthouse several times, she would have guessed that Yu-chan was staying here.
When you open the front door, what you see is a curtain of summer rain spreading outside.
The West Sea was drenched as if it had been hit by rain.
Her hair and clothes are clinging to her body.
Wearing a wide dress that she usually wears, her skin is exposed on the translucent white fabric.
Yoo-chan was quite taken aback by her unexpected sensuality of her.
Whether it’s because of her attitude her or because she does n’t like her her, it’s because she’s never felt her lust for the West Sea.
Staying around her is n’t because you’re interested in her body her.
She had always thought that her value lay deeper, not in superficial, peripheral pleasures.
“What is a bad guy doing? Avoid the rain.”
Even though she wasn’t aware of it, the words of concern came out like a habit.
It was almost a habit to show consideration for others.
“Ugh… Uh…”
She tried to scold her more, but Yoo-chan stopped her when she noticed that Seo-hae’s eyes were filled with tears as well as rainwater.
I thought I might be annoyed if it wasn’t very poetic, so I decided not to worry too much and ask the circumstances.
“What’s up?”
“Mister, help me… “
Speaking in a weeping voice, what he presented was a small bird that was carefully wrapped around his bosom in a hat.
Mac didn’t fall.
Seohae, an ordinary girl, will naturally have this level of sensitivity.
Because saving life is a standard for good deeds that only humans can have.
There are no creatures as greedy as humans, but there are no creatures that sacrifice themselves for the sake of other life besides humans.
So, the weird side is definitely this way.
Even though she was aware that Seohae’s behavior was within the extremely human range, she was also unable to empathize.
I can’t understand the feelings of the girl who ran through the rain without sacrificing herself because of only one bird.
I never thought I’d have to worry about this now.
After meeting her, the problems she had already judged to be useless flickered before her eyes her again.
“Come in at once.”
It is morally wrong to send a guest outside without an umbrella on a rainy day.
There is nothing to lose by dragging Seohae into her camper right now.
Doing Seo-hae her favor her, albeit in a small way, can buy her goodwill her.
After thinking about it, she brought in the West Sea and covered her with a towel.
“Would you like to take a shower?”
Rainwater will not be good because it will cool you down.
She nodded her head obediently and went into a makeshift shower booth in the corner of her camper.
It is a cramped space that is difficult for Yoo-chan to even stand on, but it will be the right size for her.
I put the clothes in the dryer and prepared a sportswear that I could wear comfortably. There is also a gown, but it is in adult men’s sizes, so it will be too big for a girl.
Actions and thoughts that are not urgent are still the same as usual.
Yu-chan had only that much unimpression.
She was about to brew another cup of her coffee for her, but when she suddenly realized that caffeine was not very good for her heart her, she tried to replace it with her own cocoa.
Her eyes were drawn to the bird that Seohae brought wrapped around her hat her.
It must be a type of black-patterned seabird on a white background.
When it comes to seabirds, the only thing that comes to mind is seagulls.
In the first place, there was no way he knew the name of the bird.
In contrast to the hat that surrounds it, the rain-soaked look is shabby.
Feathers lacking enough to be seen missing.
A broken beak, blown away by the wind, must have hit somewhere.
It may be a fairly bewildered bird.
The cold, twitching wings seem to show a life that is about to be extinguished.
Realizing that time was running out, she put down the kettle of water she was about to boil, thinking involuntarily that she would die soon.
The sound of a door opening.
Seo-hae, who was in a hurry, ran out without even drying her hair properly, wearing the sportswear she gave her.
“How have you been?”
She takes a shower, but her face is messed up with her immediate tears.
“I am still alive. I will die soon.”
Was it also the ending she expected? Seohae was not greatly surprised.
However, it would be safe to say that her actions her after that were beyond Yu-chan’s expectations of her.
She didn’t fret or fuss about the unchangeable reality.
She just carefully holds the bird in her hat in her arms.
Then, as usual, she spoke quietly.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. It won’t hurt It won’t hurt.”
The bird, which had been wriggling in pain until then, slowly stopped her convulsions, as if reciprocating her.
Like a flickering candle that goes out, life is fleeting.
The sight was like a scene from a fairy tale so far away.
Wiping her tears with her wrist, she raised her head and spoke to Yu-chan.
“I am dead. I wanted to save… “
Seohae speaks while crying.
“Together, let’s go bury it.”
To be honest, it was annoying.
Burying a bird was not considered important, especially if it was a shabby bird that was not a pet.
Normally, it would have been thrown away with food waste…
“Okay.”
Yu-chan obediently nodded her head.
