Chapter 200 – Chapter 200
A few days later, at Eun-ah’s house.
Eun-chae sat on Do-gyun’s thigh, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, and buried her head in Do-gyun’s arms.
“Yes? Why?”
“Does the bee smell?”
“Yes?”
Do-gyun’s body was startled. He turned his head toward my shoulder and started sniffing at him.
I was unknowingly stung by the words that it smelled.
Eun-chae leaned her head against Do-gyun’s chest and looked at him, then she buried her head again and hugged Do-gyun.
Do-gyun thought as he patted Eun-chae on the back.
‘Is something wrong?’
Depending on today, I feel particularly childish.
After shooting hard for a while, did my stamina run out?
Do-gyun, who had a small laugh at the thought that came to mind, spit out such a question in the same way as he patted Eun-chae on the back.
“What shall we play today?”
It was a weekend where Eunchae came out two weeks in a row. It’s very rare even for Do-gyun, so I’m sorry that I’ve entrusted Eun-chae only to Baek-san lately.
“Stay with the bee.”
Eun-chae answered that.
Eun-chae added strength to the arm she was holding.
They started sticking together as if they were really sticking together, as if they were never going to leave.
Do-gyun laughed as if he was troubled by that appearance, and then nodded his head.
“It’s corpse play all day.”
“Yes.”
Eun-chae nodded her head.
Eun-chae answered like that, and she began to focus more on the smell and warmth coming from Do-gyun’s body.
She focused all her nerves on Do-gyun, with the intention of filling it deep inside.
*
Even after eating breakfast, washing up, and heading out to the garden, Eunchae held Do-gyun tightly in her arms.
Just like the other day, when Do-gyun first tried to face Eun-chae, Eun-chae, whose hands and feet were tied, remained tightly attached to him.
Do-gyun sat down on a chair by the pond in the corner of the garden and brushed Eun-chae’s hair.
“Isn’t it cold?”
“It’s warm.”
“Then I’m glad.”
Do-gyun thought as he turned his gaze to the sky at the breath that spouted out every time he spoke.
‘It’s cold.’
Are you thinking of snowing? The sky was overcast and full of clouds.
Eye.
At that thought, Do-gyun’s gaze turned to Eun-chae again.
‘Come to think of it…’
Eun-chae must have seen snow for the first time in her life.
The thought brought a smile to Dokyun’s lips.
When she saw her eyes and imagined how excited Eun-chae would be, it came true.
Do-gyun looked at Eun-chae for a long time, following the carp in the pond, then went back into the house.
*
Eun-chae closed her eyes and put her head in Do-gyun’s arms, focusing on her voice.
“… Like that, the two lived happily ever after.”
The voice reading the fairy tale was so comfortable that I felt like I was about to fall asleep.
Bean heart. Bean. I jumped. The scent was warm, and the body temperature was warmer than that.
I shouldn’t fall asleep, but the reason why I dozed off like this even in the midst of such thoughts must be because I feel so comfortable when Mr. Bee hugs me tightly.
Eun-chae thought so, and she started flirting with Do-gyun.
While Do-gyun was covering the fairy tale and putting it aside, he saw Eun-chae wriggling with his face buried in his arms, only then realized that Eun-chae was different from usual.
It’s really worrying that it’s going back to the first time I met you.
“Eunchae, what’s wrong?”
Could something bad have happened? Did something sad happen?
Was the rice tasteless? Didn’t get enough sleep Did he catch a cold or something?
As Do-gyun brushed Eun-chae’s cheeks with rising worries, Eun-chae lifted her head up and stared blankly at Do-gyun, then shook her head.
“Eunchae is fine.”
After saying that, I buried my head in his arms again.
Do-gyun looked at Eun-chae with a slightly sunken face, feeling that his worries did not disappear inside, and soon began to hug Eun-chae more tightly.
“Should I tell you if I’m not feeling well?”
“… Yes.”
Eun-chae closed her eyes as she felt her pounding heart grow stronger at that sensation.
*
I will have fun playing with Eunchae all day long.
To put it to shame that he had come up with such a thought, there was nothing Do-gyun could accomplish all day long.
It’s over just holding Eunchae and wasting time in a daze.
It wasn’t that he was bored with doing nothing. He wasn’t even tired from cuddling all day.
It was only worry about Eun-chae that filled Do-gyun’s stomach.
Eunchae, who had been sinking like this, hadn’t been in a long time, and the thought that perhaps this child might be having troubles ran through his mind, and he couldn’t think of anything other than worry.
After spending the day hugging and patting Eunchae like that, it was early evening before I knew it.
Do-gyun nodded off and brushed the cheek of Eun-chae, who had fallen asleep before he knew it, and moved his gaze out the window.
“Ah…”
It was snowing.
It was the first snow of the year falling at the beginning of winter.
Huge snowflakes, quite large in size, flutter outside the window, leaving white spots on the world.
Do-gyun moved his gaze toward Eun-chae, who was sleeping again, and continued his thoughts by sweeping Eun-chae’s face with a small smile.
Will Eun-chae like it?
I’m sure you’ll be amazed.
Since she has never actually seen snow falling, she is a child who is full of curiosity, so she will definitely recover her energy.
Do-gyun let out a giggle as he remembered Eun-chae running around the snow with his cheeks dyed red.
So, I waited for Eunchae to wake up.
*
Eun-chae opened her eyes slowly, in a state of daze.
“Are you awake?”
“… Yes.”
A very locked voice. What filled Eun-chae’s vision when she opened her eyes was Do-gyun’s face with a small smile.
Eun-chae buried her head in Do-gyun’s arms, remembering that seeing that face made her feel warm.
Do-gyun said while sweeping Eun-chae’s back.
“Eunchae, would you like to look out the window?”
Eun-chae’s head turned sideways. Dull eyes glanced out the window.
Immediately after, Eunchae’s eyes widened slightly at the scenery she saw.
Do-gyun giggled at Eun-chae’s surprised look and added a comment.
“It snowed while you slept.”
Eye.
Eun-chae raised her head, which had been buried in Do-gyun’s arms until the day before, and looked out the window with her mouth open.
The whole world was dyed white. White fairies were descending from the sky. As if dancing, the fairies that had come downstairs were sitting on the floor and shining brightly.
“Eye.”
“Yeah, it’s snow.”
Eun-chae’s gaze turned to Do-gyun.
Dokyun met that gaze and smiled.
“Shall we go out to see?”
Eun-chae nodded.
*
Sabak-.
As she stepped onto the snowfield, such a small sound tickled her ears.
Sabak-.
Once again, the sound that tickles the ears again. Eun-chae held Do-gyun’s hand tightly and with her face dyed red, she looked back on the road she had passed.
Do-gyun’s large footprints and his own smaller footprints were engraved on the snow.
Eun-chae’s gaze turned to Do-gyun. Eun-chae, who felt her heart warming up again at the sight of her smiling at herself, continued to spit out such words.
“It’s a footprint.”
“Yes. It is a footprint.”
Do-gyun giggled and answered that, and then added that.
“Should I walk more? I need to make more footprints.”
“Yes.”
Eun-chae nodded.
Immediately after, the two pairs of feet moved forward.
She followed the main road in the garden to the Sabaksabak Pond. Eunchae threw a stone onto the snow piled up on the thin ice. A hollow was dug in the middle of the pond.
Then, when Do-gyun headed to the flower bed and put a twig in the snow covering the flower bed, Eun-chae, who was watching it, also put a twig in the flower bed.
I walked again, passed all the shade of trees, the garage, and the warehouse behind it, and went around all the gardens of the house, and arrived at the place in front of the long rocking chair where I had spent time with me once.
Fortunately there was a roof over it, so the rocking chair was not wet.
Do-gyun brushed the snow off Eun-chae’s head and shoulders, sat down in a rocking chair, and placed Eun-chae on her thigh.
With the tip of her nose red from the cold, Eun-chae leaned on Do-gyun’s arms and looked at the whitened world.
There was lightly falling snow, and his bee and his own footprints were tightly packed in the snow that had accumulated beneath it.
Seeing the two footprints walking side by side, so different that they could be distinguished even at a cursory glance, Eun-chae felt her heart skip a beat and held Do-gyun’s hand tightly.
“Bee.”
“Yes.”
“The footprints are good.”
“Yes.”
Eun-chae’s gaze turned to the sky.
The sky, which should have been entirely black, was not entirely black, with the white color added to the falling snow.
Eun-chae’s gaze, which had been looking at the sky all along, was falling back to the floor as she followed her falling eyes.
“What do you think?”
“Pretty.”
The black night sky, the snowflakes embroidering it, and the snow piled up on the floor were all pretty, too.
“Your footprints are pretty.”
They say the footprints on the snow are the prettiest. Eun-chae thought so.
“Bee and Eunchae are together.”
I thought it was very pretty that the moment we walked together was engraved.
Eun-chae stared blankly at her footprints, and she suddenly felt a little saddened by the thought that her president would be looking into her eyes alone.
Like this, she herself is walking side by side with Mr. Bee, but the president is walking alone.
Again, there will be only footprints that I walked alone on the road I passed.
Eun-chae thought it was too sad.
Plus, she thought, she shouldn’t be happy alone.
“… Bee.”
“Yes.”
Eun-chae held Do-gyun’s hand and stared blankly at her snowfield, and she vomited out the words she had stored inside her for today.
“I’m fine now.”
What came out were the words of farewell that could only be delivered now.
