Chapter 195 – 195. What if the Person You Hate Appears Happy on a Happy Date? Catastrophe May Come! Not for Dating, but for People You Don’t Like!!!
“Uh, are you by any chance Yoosung?”
The one who called me was the church guru in my memory.
As a man who would soon be 50 years old, or already over 50 years old, he was definitely a negative opponent in my life.
After catching my breath for a while, I answered.
“… Ah yes that’s right.”
When I resolutely affirmed, the guru’s eyes twinkled.
“Wow! This bastard has become clear!”
The gwonsa who said that was also dressed in a light outfit unlike before.
In my memory, it felt a bit messier.
The gwonsa, which went well with the image of a poor neighborhood expecting redevelopment, has changed into a neat atmosphere overall.
“It’s been a while.”
“Hehe, I’m so proud to see you so big. God bless you. When did time pass so quickly… He grew up well.”
The gwonsa seemed to have a new feeling, but I had a hard time understanding what he was saying.
Can’t you remember the last thing I said to my mother?
I wanted to ignore him, but he wasn’t physically harmed, so I decided to deal with him normally.
“Yes. … Mr. Kwon.”
“Heh heh, are you still a gwonsa? I should have come out for a worship service. Now call me pastor.”
“I see.”
Now, the guru, asking to be called a pastor, starts talking in front of him like a chatterbox.
It’s annoying to deal with.
I haven’t been to church since I was in elementary school, but I thought that you remember me well.
Well, even if we didn’t go out, we would run into each other on the street…
I split my mind into two, and I thought about something else while dealing with him.
‘What is this person like? I’m proud of being big. Is he saying that he grew up well? Even now, they are still secretly doing it thanks to God and thanks to themselves.’
I can tolerate the guru talking to me without hesitation.
However, trying to peek at Sylvia’s face with the brim of her hat down was quite annoying.
Sylvia’s beauty is too much for him, who has a bad memory, whether it be strangers or passers-by.
In the end, when the guru showed signs of being introduced to Sylvia, I decided to take action on that part.
“Yooseong-ah, but maybe next to you?”
“Sylvia.”
“─[Remembrance seal].”
Wholeheartedly.
Having a vague sense of my settled feelings, she immediately canceled the guru’s action.
“Ugh… ? How far have you been talking?”
“I told them that they built a new church, got married, and now their daughter is four years old.”
“Ah, it was. She wants her daughter to go to the aquarium She puts off and puts off singing She’s here today How can we meet? I guess God led me. Honey! Here are our church members.”
‘Who is still a saint at will?’
A shadow is cast over the bright heart just a moment ago.
After Sylvia noticed my change of heart, in the blink of an eye, she even had her visual perception impairment magic and magic to distract others.
Thankfully, it seems that he is trying to leave it to me without stepping out.
“Oh! Did you keep such a tall child as a saint?”
These were the words of the woman who seemed to be her wife.
For some reason, his eyes were full of interest.
“Uh… What was it?”
For some reason, it seems that Kwon’s planting has become a little uncomfortable.
“Huh.”
The girl the auntie was with looked at me in a daze for some reason.
“…”
Sylvia is glaring at her aunt and her girl.
She’s a four-year-old and an aunt, so is there even such a thing?
As I squeezed her hand, she relaxed her eyes.
‘But can’t you remember what I did while remembering my face?’
It couldn’t be.
Maybe he pretends not to know, or doesn’t care.
The more I think about it, the colder my heart gets.
“Pastor, after hearing what you said, you’ve improved a lot.”
“Heh heh, yes. Compared to before, life was better. It’s all thanks to God’s care.”
‘They never make donations.’
The image of him as the son of an old pastor and a guru of a church in the semi-underground was clearly out of the past.
The atmosphere surrounding him in the past felt like a persecuted Christian decorated in a modern style.
Now, that feeling has completely disappeared, and he seemed happy to have a family like this.
“—Haha, Yoosung. Don’t you know I prayed for you to be well? You Elementary School 1… 2nd grade? Even though I haven’t been to the service since then, I kept praying for you to be well.”
“By the way, how old is Yoosung? Your skin is so nice.”
“Oppa, if I go to Akarim again, won’t you?”
The guru and his family who suddenly appeared caught me by continuing to talk.
I stopped in front of the aquarium entrance and thought while dealing with them.
‘Why am I dealing with these people? It would be better to just ask Sylvia and erase her entire memory.’
I couldn’t help but think that it was probably because of my mother who had gone before.
The moment her mother gradually sharpened her nerves.
Because I had to see that it came from this gwonsa.
The guru in my memory was wearing a complexion, unkempt hair, beard, and clothes that felt hardship and adversity.
It’s not enough to say that it’s very messy, and I’d say it’s a bit of a painstaking feeling.
His father, an old pastor, was a man who used crafty rhetoric toward the sick and poor, but the gwonsa went beyond taking out and replacing such a pastor, and was a person worthy of being clean.
‘If you think about it calmly, this person’s fault is not huge. … I don’t think so.’
Going to church every Sunday was almost a rule in those days.
But my relatively rational mother never went to church.
In a church where only mothers didn’t go, the pastor skillfully gave you a sense of security that you are guaranteed a position in heaven and a sense of unity that you are a member of the same group as so many people through ‘Words’.
The ‘Word’ also skillfully urged evangelism.
He said that evangelism was a good deed to help those who would not go to heaven, and made them intoxicated with the sense of justice that they were doing good deeds.
The poor and sick became messengers of light.
They defeated the darkness and became children of God who shined the light of the gospel to the ignorant who did not know the truth of the Lord.
The stressful, sloppy coercion was wrapped in persuasion.
It was the right thing for them, whether or not their mother felt uncomfortable.
Even so, her mother consistently refused to go to church and chose to take days off.
On the contrary, I went to church for snacks and meeting friends.
‘That was the last day I went to church.’
The ‘Word’ time of the weekend worship.
It was a car that I thought I could get a snack and go out with my friends if I endured half more.
The story of my mother came out between the words that I had been dozing off because I did not understand well.
– Saints, we are not simply from the same neighborhood! Do you believe that all of you are children of God who have been saved by the Savior Jesus Christ!?
-Amen!!!
– You are all great and wonderful people! Everyone will have their own agony and pain, and it will be difficult to care only for your own family! Even so, they come to church and worship God! How beautiful and moving it is!
-Amen!!!
– In the sixth verse of 2nd Corinthians, it is said that he who sows sparingly will reap sparingly, and he who sows abundantly will reap bountifully! And in the seventh verse, it is said to give as you have decided in your heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver!
-Amen!!!
– God does not want material things! What God wants is faith in Him! God is only pleased to see the hearts of the saints! Let me be clear! If offerings are considered a waste, don’t do it! If you give it with regret, it would rather dishonor Him!
-Amen!!!
– Dear saints, one coin of a person with less is not the same as one coin of a person with a lot! Because! For those who have less save a penny, but those who have much save not so much! Would the courage be the same when two people said that they would give one piece to God equally!?
-Amen!!!
-You guys are courageous people! On a Sunday when I wanted to rest, I mustered up courage and gave thanks to God! Don’t be shy about comparing your money to other people’s! Everyone has different things, but do you think it’s necessary!?
-Amen!!!
-I am very happy to be able to worship with such courageous members! And sad again! It is because there are still people who do not believe in the existence of God and who do not know His love and salvation!
-Lord!! Amen!!!
– There is a believer, Yuseong Jin, who has become a child of faith in this place! However, Saint Jin Yu-seong’s mother is still ignoring the existence of God! Even if the child comes out, if the mother does not come out, only one child will be able to go to heaven! This is because God is not the one who is fair and listens to whatever the believer wishes!
-Amen!!!!!!
– The only thing God will surely listen to is to save those who believe! Only those who believe in themselves will be saved! So everyone, evangelize! Lead a child of faith and lead that person to salvation! God is omnipotent! He remembers everything you do! Think of what will please Him, and act!
-Amen!!!!!!
I, who had been dozing off, woke up in the middle.
The guru talked about my mother to the church members who were already easily swept away, and people were able to immerse themselves in the ‘Word’ even more.
Because I did too.
When the service was over, the guru approached without hesitation and said,
“Yoo Seong-ah, can you tell your mom to go to church one more time?”
I silently nodded and never went to church again.
And it was around the time that I hadn’t been to church for weeks.
The guys I hung out with after church asked me.
“Yooseong, are you not coming to church anymore?”
“Uh. I’m not going.”
“OMG! As the pastor said.”
“I don’t want to go to church either, but I definitely go every week. The pastor said that all of that was seduced by Satan the Devil.”
“… Do you guys believe that?”
Of course, the people who said it didn’t seem to believe it either.
Because they were laughing
They played together for a long time and considered them friends, but they are no longer friends.
“After…”
-It’s him.
– Oh my gosh.
On my way home, dirty with dust, I heard whispering words in my ears.
Church-goers in the neighborhood pointed to her mother as the one who cut off her children from going to heaven because of her stubbornness.
The reason I didn’t go to church was because it was just a f*ck.
In the minds of the members of the church, it was changed that their mother, who had heard gossip, had stopped them from going out.
Still, the bullying of those who were friends did not exceed three times.
It’s because the Chinese teacher saw the guys who were bullying me and beat her to bruises regardless of gender.
‘For some reason, I got hit too.’
Although the brief bullying ended in vain, the subtle isolation inflicted on her mother was not resolved.
I don’t know what happened to my mother.
Still, I vaguely guessed that it was a dark and shady bullying peculiar to women.
My mother still loved me, but she grew on her nerves more and more, and she passed away suddenly, though she may have had something to do with it.
It was so absurd that I couldn’t blame anyone.
I buried it in my heart like that, but since the person who was the trigger was talking in front of me with a happier look than before, I felt something dark come up in my heart.
