Have a Meal Before You Go

< Man Walking Through the Past (4) >

It was early morning.

Earlier than anyone else, Tangerine made plans for today. He said planning was very important, so he decided to make a plan from today.

[dog nuclear west]

What time is it?

7: 00 a.m.

Tangerine fell facedown on a pillow with her poopy eyes painted on it. Then, with a pencil, I opened my legs and wrote down a letter.

[Play Archie Hawk.]

[Other]

[Da Ram Shi.......]

The tangerine that wrote down the squirrel laughed. A squirrel who became a new friend these days was a strange one who spoke.

The specialty is shooting acorns, but tangerines were almost hit on the forehead a while ago.

Tangerine was so sick that she cried. Then Hodol came and tried to eat the squirrel. Hodoli was very angry, but not only that, his arms grew huge and rebuked the squirrel.

If it wasn't for Zara, the squirrel would have been eaten.

Anyway, ever since then, I've been friendly without shooting acorns.

Tangerine promised never to harass a squirrel. The squirrel said he could be a friend, but he didn't want to touch it. However, he said it was okay to polish his fur sometimes.

Characteristics were cute because words were fast.

[Guardian of Dharam]

Then write down your day.

[Poetry]

[Hamni's conception]

This is the best part of the day. As soon as the tangerines got up, Chul-ho, who was making breakfast, saw tangerines.

“Did Tangerine forget something? ”

“It does.”

Tangerine brought her yellow coat.

“It's time to put it on and eat. ”

“Ugh.”

Tangerine sat quietly at the table. Chulho fed the morning toast to Tangerine. Half a tangerine, one toast, and a glass of milk. I ate tangerines quickly.

Chulho smiled and put a coat on the child. I saw a slight red mark on my forehead and asked.

“What's this? ”

“Ugh, it tastes like shit. ”

“Acorns?”

“Woong, Saek Ching Gu Yam. ”

Tangerine searched his coat pocket and took out a large acorn. It was a big one with quite a lot of fancy people, but Tangerine put it on my forehead.

“Stand by as a gift. ”

“....... ”

It looks like the squirrel creature I saw last time. Steel tightly fastened the zip on the coat and then patted the buttocks of the tangerines.

“Don't bully your friend. Okay?"

“Ugh.”

“Yes. Go out and play. ”

“Here comes the dog! ”

Tangerine shouted vigorously and left the door open. As soon as I opened the door, Tangerine was surprised. It was because of a man who was standing around in front of the restaurant.

Tangerine closed her eyes and said hello.

“Aren't you a bird! ”

Then I ran down the Huddak Alley.

Late, Chulho looks at the man and lowers his head slightly.

“Hello. Good morning, isn't it? ”

“Uh, I'm sorry about the other day. ”

“I'm fine.”

The man was Jeongju Lee. He pulls the money out of his pocket.

“I don't think I'm going to be able to use the ingredients you've been preparing for me, so I'm sorry. ”

Chulho glances at the money he gave him.

“Please come in. ”

Waiting for him to come back.

.

Today's breakfast menu is cold tomato soup.

Grind the tomatoes well, cut the onions, add vinegar and water and mix them slowly. With olive oil, pepper and salt, the flavor is great.

Finally, add the finely ground garlic and put it in the refrigerator. This is what I've been making since morning.

Cheolho gave me two loaves of bread next to the tomato soup.

Jeongju glanced at the sliding iron hole.

“It's breakfast, and if you come to dinner, you should eat. As a guest of the hour, we have a special service. ”

At Cheolho's words, he smiles small. I was terribly tired with my eyes wide open.

I know what kind of choices these people will make eventually.

There were a lot of people like this around Cheolho. While there were those who overcame themselves, there were many who could not overcome.

So Chulho often went back to that point and tried to save them. I was happy and sad to see them live their lives.

After waking up from such a dream, the emptiness was so sad. Cheolho abused the vision and spent too long in his dreams.

But a small amount like this will only take a moment.

I will be able to go back to the time I put in my heart for a long time and unravel my heart. That should be enough to help.

Jungju glances down at the cold soup and smiles bitterly.

“I'll eat well. ”

The cold tomato soup had a significant amount of distinctive tomato sweetness. Wet bread eases the sour sweetness, making it a very good breakfast.

He ate soup and bread without speaking.

Chop-chop.

You hear the sparrow proclaiming the morning. Cheolho looked outside. It was a cold breeze, but a very clear winter morning.

It was quite a while after he had finished his soup.

Cheolho looked at the other side with his back to the door of the restaurant and asked.

“Nice day, isn't it? ”

“...... Yep. ”

His voice is powerless.

“Life is hard. ”

“...... ”

“It's always hard to be responsible for something. Sometimes I like to think of it as a dream. ”

“....... ”

“So I used to run away when my reality was too much. Me, too, but you know what? It's actually not bad to run away. What's wrong?”

Lee Jeongju turned her head, interested in what Cheolho said.

“Not bad? ”

“Man is not a machine. It's a sentimental creature, so you can run away at any time. So I think I grew up wandering, suffering, reflecting, feeling sorry for myself. You can grow up and come back. Your world is always open. ”

Somehow I closed my eyes.

Jeongju thought that an unbearable drowsiness was coming. Chulho smiled bitterly.

“Have a good dream. ”

.

Jubbuck Jubbuck

Closing your eyes is always the same dream.

Class- Class-

The sound of rough breathing rang in my ears. Jeongju was walking through the past. Walking in the past for a very long time.

Bloop!

The flame rises. He endures the heat and regenerates.

- God.

He strangely realizes that his whole body is full of strength. It was full of magic.

He pushed forward. The firesuit was no longer heavy. I'm not afraid of fire.

This hallway looks familiar to me.

How much do you remember?

I wish you all the strength you need!

He was walking in the past, and he started running.

His whole body boils with magic. He throws off his fireman's uniform. He sprints. His magic spills out. The waves swept through my body.

Even the blazing flames on all sides were unable to stop him.

Tsk, tsk!

He grabs the door that is familiar to him. As the noise spread, the steam rose sharply. Hiccup! The door opens. There was a child in there who wanted to save him so badly.

I was wearing a blanket. On the blanket was a panda. The panda's white fur is scorched and blackened.

He was small. Was he five years old? Reach out. Your whole body trembles. Take a step.

Take two steps.

On the third step, Jeongju was standing in front of the child.

- Are you okay?

The child looked up at him.

Jeongju hugged the child.

Bang, bang, bang.

My heart is racing.

I turned around and ran.

Boom! Boom!

The ceiling collapsed.

I missed out on the difference. Jeongju looked down at the child. Magic was boiling all over my body. There's a path of water where he walks, and he fights fire.

Jeongju was invincible. I ran like crazy down the hall in turn. I see some comrades coming to save themselves from the other side. My vision became blurred.

- Survivors found!

Jeongju Lee, Jeongju Lee and one child! Survivors secured!

After leaving the building, he put down the child he had hugged.

The child stood on the ground.

Her hair was black, and she came down to her shoulders. I saw a clear smile. I put my hand on the child's cheek to erase the black skin on his face.

It felt fluffy and soft. Vivid.

- Are you all right?

I asked with a trembling voice.

- Thank you, sir.

The child whispered. Strangely, his voice was ringing in my ears.

- I'm fine now.

-.......!

The child smiled and put his hand in Jeongju's hand.

- Don't suffer anymore.

My legs relax, and I squat. Oh, it was a dream.

- I'm sorry.

-Thank you.

Suddenly, he thought that what was dark in his heart seemed to be unraveling.

My whole body seemed to be burning up. Warm energy spread throughout the body. A very cold, stiff heart began to pound and beat.

Shhh! Shhh!

Suddenly, the landscape everywhere disappeared.

He reaches out to the girl in front of him.

The girl's figure fades.

The girl held his hand tightly one last time.

- I'll remember.

The girl smiled. And it's completely gone.

Jeongju thought it was time to wake up from this short dream.

I see a road in the white world. He glances at the path without pity.

Soon, I got up and moved on.

Every step of the way, flowers bloomed everywhere. Suddenly, the world became a bright, colorful world.

However, his world was bright and never blurry. I wiped my eyes, but it was still blurry. He started walking along the road so slowly.

.

“....... ”

When he opened his eyes, a quiet restaurant with no one to eat was waiting for him. He rises to his feet quietly.

Somehow, I felt like I woke up from a very old dream. He felt the tears running down his cheeks. Somehow my heart ached.

“I remember.”

I remember this pain. I remember that day. I remember the girl.

He was filled with despair in Jeongju's eyes.

The dead body begins to rejuvenate. My heart was pounding. Strangely, I was no longer afraid of the fire.

He rises slowly.

“Off you go.”

After leaving the restaurant, Chulho, who was biting a cigarette, asked him.

“Yes.”

It was odd. However, Lee Jingju felt a bit overwhelmed.

“Come again. ”

Chulho smiled and replied lightly. He looks at Cheolho. Somehow, he felt friendly.

“Yes, I'll be back. ”

Then I bowed to Cheolho.

“Thank you.”

Lee Jingju slowly started walking down the alley. Cheolho saw his back like that.

Every time he made his move, I thought that flowers were blooming somehow.

.

I walked into the diner, and I was tidying up the dishes, and I saw a bunch of money on the table.

“Ah.”

It looks like it was left by Jeongju Lee. I seem to have taken it out of my pocket, but there's a small note between the bills. Chulho read the note.

- Oh, God.

- When I get the call,

Give me the strength to save a life.

- Before it's too late.

Let me hold a little boy and save an old man who is terrified.

- Keep me awake.

Let me hear even the slightest scream, and let me fight fire quickly and effectively, fulfill my mission, and do my best to protect and protect the lives and property of every neighbor.

- And whatever you want.

- If I lose my life,

- With your grace.

- Take care of my children and my wife.

-1958, Smokey Lean.

* * *

Has it been a month?

I no longer see Jeongju Lee in the fruit shop. Grandma Yoon and Park still have a good relationship.

Occasionally, I asked my grandmother.

“You haven't seen your son lately. ”

Then the grandmother would smile brightly and answer.

“Yes, he went back to work. ”

Cheolho turned around smiling happily.

There is only one problem left.

Tunatos frozen in the freezer room.
