Chapter 175 – Chapter 175
A few days later, in front of the table.
Do-gyun sat across from him and looked at Eun-byeol, who was smiling with her chin resting on his chin.
Eunbyeol giggled at what was so enjoyable, then he spit out such a question.
“So, do you understand now?”
He says he asks if he knows what he looks like.
Do-gyun nodded his head with a serious expression on his face.
“The self when Eun-ah grew up like the others she imagined. Is that correct?”
Do-kyun said that and looked at Eun-byeol’s expression.
It was a guess based on weak grounds, but I couldn’t think of any other answer.
The traces of the past time filled the warehouse.
The history that other personalities built up during the time Eun-ah was ignoring.
All of them were objects that should be referred to with the word ‘ordinary’.
So this speculation came to mind.
What I couldn’t get because I couldn’t live a life like others, because I had locked myself in this house ever since the death of Seo Han-kyung when I was young. Even though Eun-ah had been ignoring it, it was something that she would have longed for.
Life like everyone else. She herself lives that life.
Couldn’t they be the four personalities and Eunbyeol?
Like everyone else, going on picnics with their parents, having hobbies such as painting, and having friends to share their thoughts with, maybe that’s what Eun-ah wanted.
When Do-gyun looked at Eun-byeol, thinking about that, Eun-byeol raised her eyebrows and made a surprised face, then clapped her hands and spat out words.
“Answer! Are you very sharp?”
The words were full of laughter, but Do-kyun, who heard him, could hardly accept him happily.
It was because Eun-byeol, thinking that Eun-byeol’s appearance was what Eun-a wanted to be, made her heart thump.
Eunbyeol got up from her seat with a smile on her face as if she was troubled by Dogyun’s expression starting to frown.
After turning around the table and sitting next to Do-gyun, Eun-byeol raised her head towards Do-gyun and continued her words in a slightly mischievous tone.
“Are you crying again? If you cry like that, will your butt get angry?”
“… I don’t cry.”
Crying. I felt something boiling inside me.
Do-gyun swallowed him with effort, then continued talking while looking straight into Eun-byeol’s eyes.
“Do you know what kind of idiot I am?”
“Right. Jerk.”
Kick kick. Eunbyul let out a laugh.
Eunbyeol stretched out his hand and put it on Dokyun’s cheek, then grabbed it and stretched it out to the side as he continued.
“I’m worried, there are so many tears, I don’t know how to act as a man.”
“I’m better than Eunbyul.”
“Bad words.”
Kwok-.
Power went into the hand pinching the cheek.
Eunbyeol stretched out Dokyun’s cheek and shook it up and down, then put it down with a timid smile and took out her smartphone.
As Do-gyun’s gaze turned to the smartphone, Eun-byeol smiled and pushed the screen toward Do-gyun.
What appeared on the screen pushed up to her nose.
“… Baseball?”
It was a baseball game reservation page.
Eunbyul smiled satisfied with Dokyun’s reaction and nodded his head.
“Even if I go, at least once in a game is fine, right?”
Puch. A weak laugh escaped Dokyun’s mouth.
“Would you like to do well?”
Really, it was sweet until the end.
*
Eunbyeol said that today’s match was the last match for Latte this season.
The post season… Of course I couldn’t go.
Just a game to end the season.
It was a game that was just there.
Do-gyun chose the neatest clothes he had, got out of the car with Eun-byeol and headed to the stadium, where Eun-byeol always sat alone, and this time they sat together in the VIP seats.
“Ruler.”
Do-gyun’s gaze turned to Eun-byeol.
A snack in one hand and a can of beer in the other, handing the can to himself.
Do-gyun took the can of beer Eun-byeol gave him, opened it until it made a ‘snap’ sound, and then drank it at once.
“Oh, why is he doing one-shots?”
“Didn’t Eunbyeol teach you? Baseball is not something you watch soberly.”
“Mmmm, did you learn well?”
Eunbyeol laughed. Eunbyeol smiled, then took out another can of beer, opened the lid, and drank it in at once, just like Dokyun.
“Nice-!”
Eunbyeol, who emptied the can with a smile, seemed quite pleasant, then squeezed her hand tightly to crush the can and continued.
“Babe.”
“Yeah.”
“Would you win today? Still, it’s the last game of the fucking season.”
Do-gyun shut his mouth.
Eunbyeol, who had been waiting for Do-gyun’s answer for a long time, let out a murmur at Do-gyun’s answer that didn’t come back.
“That’s too much. Even a horse will win.”
“You know that’s nonsense, right?”
Today’s opponent was TK, who is running in first place this season. The water has been up as they have smashed the teams they have met over the past five games.
On the other hand, how about a latte? All losses in the last 5 matches. And one of them was a crushing defeat that ended in a cold game.
Eunbyeol licked his lips and cast his gaze toward the stadium, ‘jeop’ at Dokyun’s speech with a shy face.
Players from both teams were entering.
Last game of this season.
And, it was the last match in Eunbyeol’s life.
*
“Fuck you guys.”
Looking at the signboard with the numbers [0:11] Stamped on it, Eunbyeol spat out swear words.
“Fucking bastards.”
His expression was a strange mixture of remorse, anger, and despair.
“How could I not get a point until the end? Are those fucking bastards?”
Dokyun lowered his head and closed his mouth.
It was disastrous.
While Do-gyun was watching the game, he felt like watching a mouse being toyed with by a cat.
It was a game that was played to such an extent that the scene of the little boy playing with the mouse was overlapped on the field.
Do-gyun, who had been lowering his head for a long time, glanced at Eun-byul.
His mouth continued to make such a nasty sound, but his expression was a giggle, a look that felt relieved for some reason.
“Ah, do those bastards really want the rice to go down their throats? Shamelessly want to live? Huh? What do you think, honey?”
… It might not be a relief.
“What, a day or two?”
“Fucking bastards.”
Flinch. Do-gyun’s body trembled. He knew he wasn’t talking to himself, but he couldn’t help but be afraid.
Eunbyeol opened her last beer that she hadn’t eaten until the day before and one-shot him, crushing her can.
His gaze was directed at the players of the latte who were leaving far away.
What are you trying to do?
While Do-kyun tilted his head at that question.
“Meeting was such a shame, let’s never meet again, you bastards!!!!”
Eunbyeol suddenly burst into a lion’s roar.
It was so loud that Latte’s players looked at Eunbyul even in the midst of all the noise.
Everyone in the stadium, including the spectators, players, and staff, looked at Eunbyeol.
Eunbyeol, who received the attention of the whole stadium, raised the middle fingers of both hands toward the players on the spot and smiled.
“Babes behind their mothers.”
An expression of ‘Tteak’ appeared on Do-gyun’s face.
Eunbyeol waved her middle finger over his head for a while, then later checked Dokyun’s expression and burst into laughter saying ‘Puha’.
*
The place we arrived after leaving the stadium was, as always, a cafe.
As if today was really no other day, Eunbyeol was humming her song in such a leisurely manner, and as usual, all the cafe menus were arranged on her table.
“Oh my dear, look at this. Isn’t he so pretty?”
Do-gyun’s gaze turned to Eun-byeol’s fingertips.
Little Tiramisu. A snowman made of white chocolate was placed on top of it.
“Yes, it is pretty.”
“It’s still autumn, but just looking at things like this reminds me of winter.”
Startle. Do-gyun’s body trembled.
Seeing Do-gyun respond to her words again, Eun-byeol smiled and waved his hand.
“Ah, aren’t you delusional and delusional alone again? Are you just saying this? You just want to stay until winter, aren’t you?”
“Do I look that stupid?”
“Yes.”
Pop. Do-gyun’s mouth was closed. He was glaring at Eunbyeol with his eyes torn open.
Eunbyeol continued with a mischievous face and a giggle.
“You are so stupid. So, I squeeze the juice like this every time. Isn’t it time you got used to it?”
“What is that juice? Do not be classy.”
“Is it like that?”
“A lot.”
“Sorry then.”
Food. A laugh escaped Dokyun’s mouth.
“Are you okay?”
“What?”
“It goes like this.”
Do-kyun stared straight at Eun-byul and waited for an answer.
I knew why it happened. However, the lingering regret that formed Eunbyul was something Do-gyun could not do.
Do-gyun had no ability to hold on to the past and change it back.
That’s why she can’t say anything about leaving here.
Seeing Do-gyun waiting for an answer, Eun-byeol gave an answer as she grinned.
“Are you all right?”
It was sincere, without the slightest exaggeration.
Eunbyeol looked at Dokyun and continued her thoughts.
Do-gyun was firmly mistaken about something.
He thinks that he still has unresolved lingering feelings.
‘… It’s not.’
My lingering has already been resolved.
You solved it
I don’t know that because I’m insensitive to this kind of quick subject.
“Babe.”
“Yeah.”
“Shall we go to Namsan Tower?”
Do-gyun’s head tilted.
Eunbyeol put a wedge in her words, smiling her eyes so much that her eyes closed.
“Rejection is refusal.”
Do-kyun blinked his eyes, then awkwardly nodded his head and replied.
“Yeah, there’s nothing I can’t do.”
