Big Life

19 - I am an Earthling (6)

It started to rain from the dark sky.

Through the rainstorm, Myeonghun arrives at his destination, pulling his car down in front of a tightly closed garage.

There was a Bourne House in front of me that I hadn't searched for long.

Ding-dong!

Myeong-hoon, who pressed the doorbell, accepted the rain with no umbrella.

The end of my wet hair dripped with rain.

- Myeong-hoon?

I heard a surprised voice of smartness over the intercom.

Immediately, the door that was closed was opened remotely.

Myeonghun steps into a huge garden.

When I walked quickly to the front door.

“I don't know where I am! ”

The roaring pain was like thunder.

Taejin stands at the foot of the terrace.

He was practicing golf with a long golf club in his hand.

“Dad, hold it steady. ”

I was distracted, but it was a floating point.

Taejin hurled a rough hand at the bright side.

The golf club was pointing to the tip of the nostril of wisdom.

“Turn away from your parents! Speak ill of my brother! The guy who was so drunk and acting like a jackass, why does he sneak up on me now? Can't you leave right now?! ”

Myung Hun stood tall and soaked himself in rain.

My whole body trembled not because of the cold from the rain. He shrugs his raging chest, and he opens his mouth.

“I'm sorry, Father. ”

“Don't call me Dad! ”

“Just give me one chance. I'll be a good son. ”

“Not a word! Get him out of the house now! River Knight! Where's the River Knight? ”

Taejin throws a golf club and yells everywhere.

Myeongseok was just a feeling of wanting to roll his feet.

He, who was a sound eldest son, could not stop his angry father like this.

Fluffy!

I knelt on the marble floor full of myeonghun.

Taejin looks back at the angry eyes.

The world lit up with lightning.

In the flash of a sudden, my eyes crossed with the reddened gaze of clarity.

“Anything. ”

He swallowed the rainwater that flowed from his mouth, and the message was a horse.

“I'll do whatever you say. End staff is fine. You can give me a job as a warehouse in the city, or I'll do whatever you want as a general proctor. ”

“Me, me, me! I don't have anyone else to give me a drink of kimchi soup. ”

“Please accept me as a steward, not as your son. I'm sure my father will appreciate that I'm not a bad person. I'm going to take care of the lack of personality. I'll be good to Mother, too. ”

When he finished speaking, he closed his eyes with his forehead on the ground.

I vomited every word I could say here.

Now all that remains is my father's decision.

I will not deny the power I was given from birth.

Adults who have been in respect of me since I was a nosebleed child, when I went to school without taking a bus and ten thousand won subway, and an environment where I could get anything I wanted in one stroke.

Everything was my strength and my natural ability in the first place.

My own snake that no one will recognize will be thrown away in this moment.

I'll grow up using everything I can.

Even for my mother.

Even to keep your resting place in my heart.

“Get him out!”

Taejin yells again and turns to the house.

When Myeong-seok couldn't do this or that, the voice echoed again.

“If you don't want to get kicked out with me, get in here now! ”

“Yes, yes, Father. ”

Myung Seok was forced into the house.

The door closed and all the lights went out.

In the heavily darkened garden, Myeonghun kneels and does not move his body.

I closed my wet eyes, and the rain was strangely hot.

After dinner it was past midnight.

The rain that was raining all night began to thin at dawn.

The cold winter night was so long.

It was almost 7: 00 in the morning, but the world was still dark.

Myung Hun was still standing on the cold garden floor.

I couldn't feel my whole body.

I was even losing my mind.

But he didn't move.

The choice was either one.

Or die, or go home.

How much time has passed.

“The bitter one · · · · · · · ·. ”

In Myeong Hun's ear, just before he lost consciousness, Taejin's voice was fainted.

The sound of a deep sigh clearly pierced through the rain and dug into his eardrum.

“That's enough. Go in and rest.”

As soon as Taejin's permission fell, Myeonghun collapsed.

Myung Seok and the housekeeper jumped in and lifted him up.

The sun was coming up.

“Happy New Year. ”

Reconstruction and Jae-in sat down together, finishing three times.

The stone and plaque across the street were dressed nicely for the rebuilding.

“Oh my son, I wish I had gained a little more weight. But you're looking better than you did last year, huh? He's handsome, my son. ”

The man tucked himself into the reconstruction, followed by holding the man in his arms and restraining his back.

“Jae-in's doing well, and I love it. You're a really good daughter and a good sister. I've done this much reconstruction because of you. ”

“Stop it, Mom. I did something. ”

The stone clears its throat and opens its mouth.

“I only ask one thing of you. Let's be healthy."

“Yes, Father. ”

“But since you're talking about · · · · · · · · · you guys, have a relationship. ”

Reconstruction and reconstruction smiled as they looked at each other.

I was behind the stone as if someone had been waiting.

“Are they laughing? Hey, Hae--in. You're thirty-two. You're more of a problem than rebuilding. Aren't you going to have a boyfriend? ”

“Oh, my God, what are you yelling at me for? I'll meet a nice guy when the time is right. ”

He said, "He still doesn't know my age. He's just saying this peacefully. Tsu tsu! ”

He kicked his tongue as if it were fabulous and leaned back.

And she remembered one thing: she slapped her knee and asked for reconstruction.

“Yes, rebuild. Have you seen Su-hee lately? Why, the good motivation for receiving the digital literature award. ”

“Well, it's just... ”

“Don't you have feelings for that girl? You and me, we're 29 this year, right? Women are different from men. She's such a pretty girl, and there's only one guy with eyes on her. What are you gonna do if someone catches you? ”

Reconstruction pulls out an insecure smile and shakes your head.

The stone stone I could not bear to wonder asked the other person.

“What kind of girl is she? ”

“There's a very pretty, sparkly girl in the rebuilding motivation. You'll love it when you see it. Jae-in said she's good at what she says. She's good at cooking and not bad at anything. ”

Reconstruction shocked me and tried to shoot Jae-in.

Jae-in was sweeping the dust-free floor with a hot look on his face.

Soon, the stone said.

“I'll bring him home once. ”

“At home?”

“Don't just call her, invite her with the truth or other comrades. ”

The stone was very interesting.

The reconstruction, which could not find a word to say, shut up and looked away.

After three times over, Jae-in started doing the dishes.

Reaching back, the reconstruction whispers in her ear, growling.

“You snitch. ”

“What did I do? ”

“Let's see what you have to say next. ”

“Hey, Hae-won, you're not wrong about anything. If we don't catch Su-hee, we'll lose her again? Do you have a heart? You know Soo-hee's pretty unless you have eyes. ”

“I'll take care of it. ”

“So what's the problem? Why don't you tell your sister? ”

“I won't, Ms. Haejin. ”

Reconstruction had a comfortable day at the main house.

The next morning I woke up refreshed.

I checked my phone for a cup of coffee and saw a message from Somi.

- I hope you're enjoying the holidays. I'm sorry, I'm a little under the weather, so I don't know if I can keep talking about Oscar's Dungeon Webtoon tomorrow. I'm so sorry.

The reconstruction fixes his face and tilts his head.

As it appeared in the message, I didn't think Somi would break her promise just because she was feeling a little bad.

It really hurts a lot or something.

Looking at the clock, it was past 9: 00 a.m.

Reconstruction came out in front of the garden vegetable fields and called.

Somi, who was always quick to get it, was different today.

The beep continues to bore me.

‘Are you still sleeping? ’

The moment Reconstruction tried to pick up the phone, the phone was connected.

After a trembling breath, Somi's voice continues.

- Yes, Writer Ha.

The rebuilding took place without even knowing it.

Somi's voice is exhausted, telling her that she is very ill at once.

“Does it hurt a lot? What's wrong with you? ”

- Just · · · · · · I think I caught a cold · · · · · Sorry · · · · · · · · I have to speed up the game · · · · · · · ·

“Webtoons are still fast enough. You're up already, right? Have you taken your medicine? It's best to go to the hospital, but you can find a place for the holidays. ”

- Sleeping like this will get better soon · · · · · · · I really · · · · · · · Sorry · · · · · you seem to be worrying less than Bourne.

Reconstruction wraps around his forehead as he listens to Somi's dying breath.

I couldn't let her live alone in Seoul without her family.

Moreover, I am a person who is helping me with my work, not anyone else.

“I'm going home. ”

- Yes?

“I'll decide for myself. Whether or not you really need to let it go. I'll be there in an hour and a half, you know. I'm hanging up.”

- Ha, Writer Ha?

Reconstruction hangs up the phone and quickly finishes preparing.

After briefly explaining the situation, my family understood and moved on.

“Drive safely. Call me.”

“Okay, sis. You and Mom go inside. ”

The road in the metropolitan area for the holidays was very quiet.

Thanks to this, the reconstruction was able to drive fast enough to reach Somi's old gang.

This is it, right? ’

I learned Somi's studio address during a long time ago.

I could have asked through Tae-won, but I searched my own mailbox and found the address myself in case I was worried.

After pulling over, the reconstruction took a step up to the third floor in a month.

I rang the doorbell in front of 301 and the door opened.

“Hello, Writer Ha. ”

Somi's whole body was sweating.

I could feel the heat on my face when I saw it.

There was no focus on the blurred eyes.

“Is this okay? Let me take a look. ”

Reconstruction grabs Somi's forehead by the hand.

It's as hot as fire. He takes off his frightened hand and puts it on her.

“Come out, hospital store. I'm warning you, don't make me talk. ”

Reconstruction lifted Somi to the car and activated the navigation.

After setting a destination for the nearest university hospital emergency room, he stepped on Axel.

* * *

“You can rest a bit and then go. ”

“Yes, thank you. ”

Somi, who was injected with antipyretics, was in bed desperately.

The fluid flows slowly through the Ringer into her body.

Reconstruction quietly gazes at Somi's face.

A lot has happened with her and her thoughts have swirled.

I was so worried about my health that I didn't take care of myself.

‘I was lucky to have a country. ’

Anyway, it was a relief to rebuild.

I was proud to be able to repay her kindness so far.

Glug glug!

There's a vibration in Somi's cardigan pocket.

When I pulled it out, I remembered the name 'Sister Lee Jung’ on the screen.

‘Who? I don't recognize the name. ’

Reconstruction was suspicious, but I didn't answer it because it was someone else's phone.

And after a while, a message flew out.

- Somi, are you in pain? Why aren't you answering your phone? I'm coming up from the house! I'll be right there!

Reconstruction after checking the message on the liquid crystal grabbed the phone after a worry.

Then I called the number of someone named Lee Jung's sister.

Hello, Somi?

“Mr. Somi is in the E.R. right now. I slept with Ringer, so I took it for him. ”

- Ah, yes, thank God. Oh, I'm Somi's former coworker. I'm sorry, but what happened to the caller?

Reconstruction only remembers the opponent, smiling and answering.

“You must be Representative Lee Jung from Starbooks. I'm Harebuilding.”

- Oh, my God! You're the Hae-won writer? Somehow I thought my voice was strange and familiar! How are you?! I'm sorry I didn't get to say hello to you in the new year!

“I'm sorry, too. How are you, Starbooks? ”

- I'm good. I think you should ask Starbooks what else happened today, not how it's going.

“Hahaha · · · · · · · Yes. ”

- Anyway, I was relieved to have you around. From now on, we can keep up the pace and drive safely. Oh-ho! If Somi is really a writer, she works hard day and night. I don't talk about Mr. Ha every time I talk to him. You talk too much all by yourself! Then please take good care of him.

“Okay, I'll see you sometime. ”

- It's me. Just sing and we'll get out of here! Okay, bye. Writer Ha.

Reconstruction of the disconnected phone put the phone back in Somi's cardigan pocket.

As soon as I tried to take my hand away, Somi's five fingers slipped down and grabbed her wrists while reconstructing.

“Are you awake? Are you feeling better? ”

Suddenly, Somi opened her eyes and asked.

Somi was intoxicated by the strength of her medicine and was staring at the reconstruction with her dim eyes.

“Don't go anywhere. ”

“Yes · · · · · · ·? ”

“Don't go where you can't see it. Stay here."

The emergency room door opened and a new patient rushed in.

Reconstruction, which was exchanging gazes with Somi, did not hear any sound.
