Have a Meal Before You Go

Meow, meow, meow!

One summer.

In summer mornings, the sound of a cicada usually wakes me up. They always cry loudly, but here's why they cry.

Mum! Mum!

- The first one to get married! Physical health genetics is good!

Mamma 'am! Mamma 'am!

- The one who's marrying the big chipmunk!

Mamma 'am!

- Recruit someone to lay my eggs!

Miyam, Miyam, Miyam!

- Have fun with healthy horses!

Each one was a distinctive cry, mostly about courtship.

Thanks to this, Tangerine has been very hard every morning.

Anyway.

Tangerine lay on her bed and blinked. He hasn't fallen asleep yet. I closed my eyes a bit and thought of a tangerine word.

Coffee!

Tangerines fell out of their beds.

“Ahh, Ko. ”

Rubbing his nose, Tangerine opened the door of his room and went out to the kitchen. The kitchen was cold today. It was clear that my father had gone to see the market.

Tangerine, I was going to drink coffee today.

Coffee!

My father told me that coffee is better when I grow up, and that I won't sleep if I eat it now. But Tangerine wanted to drink coffee once, so I was going to eat it today.

My dad used to crawl up to the cupboard where he put coffee.

Mixed coffee!

There were two types of coffee. Tangerine knew the same kind. What's black?

“Fire liquid kernel blood. ”

What kind of fluid is that? I thought maybe it was an axe of monsters. Black coffee doesn't suit the taste of tangerine.

What if I am?

“Mixer blood. ”

Tangerine grabbed a long mixed coffee bag. It had mixed coffee written on it, which my older brother used to give me for a sip.

Something sweet and delicious, tangerine choked on the saliva. A smile came out of my lips without even knowing it. Tangerine remained, and came down to the floor.

Now we have to boil the water. Tangerine went straight into the spirit system and found Ignis.

Immediately, Ignis was relaxing on ice cream. I went to Ignis with a tangerine cup.

“Gwang-su Lee! ”

[Hello?]

“Woof!”

Tangerines soak water from the body of your armpits! Lift it up, and plunge the cup into Ignis' body! I put it in.

The water boils up quickly. Tangerine poured mixed coffee contents into it and whisked.

And then, Horlock, I took a sip. The color was like a turquoise basin, but the taste was sweet and bitter. It was like chocolate.

Tangerine sat next to Ignis, smiling bitterly. Horlock, Horlock, I tried to take it slow, but I drank it all quickly.

Tangerine sat still and blinked.

“If you drink any more of this, you'll be damned, right? ”

[I like a little drink, Summoner.]

The armpits were gently tilted.

Tangerine opened her eyes desperately.

“Should I leave you with just one more? ”

Those eyes are endlessly colorful, clear. It's a small universe that seems to be sucked up if you want to look at it. Tangerine, who had bitten her lip tightly and held her arm, looked at her for a long time.

[....... just one, then.]

“Woof!”

Soon my armpits brought me a bag of mixed coffee. Tangerine drank it again. I was full even though I was relieved and did not eat.

Somehow I feel a little better and a little light-headed. Tangerine stood up. It's still morning, the summer sun is long and there was no time to waste.

“We have to go! ”

I have to go play. Nowadays, the day is too short.

.

Chulho looked at the tangerine.

Tangerine was reading a fairy tale book on her face. Nowadays, Tangerine reads quite well, so she tends to do well without having to read it.

“Tangerine.”

“Huh?”

I looked at the grapefruit.

“It's time for our tangerines to sleep. ”

It's 11: 00.

Usually, it was time to pick up the pieces. However, Tangerine was overly lively today.

“Gyu Ri is not sleepy? ”

“Aren't you sleepy? ”

“Woof!”

It's strange. Tangerine rolled her way down to my room. Then he opens the door and rolls the book into the bookshelf and comes out with a sketchbook and a crayon.

I practiced writing as much as I could.

My dad wouldn't let me watch TV past 11: 00 at night, so I had enough time to do other things.

The last time I read 'The Third Godfather’, I asked my father about this and that.

“Papa, what's with the gun? ”

“Yes, it died with a gun - no. What are you staring at? ”

Cheolho panicked and stole the third godfather.

“You can see that the tangerines are a little bigger. ”

“What do you say? ”

“That's right."

Tangerine now told her father about her crooked crawl, lying on her knees, and what she wanted to eat tomorrow.

Tomorrow he said he wanted to eat a big pile of money and cheese. Tangerines are also very fond of oranges, but they are also sad because they are not oranges these days.

However, when I went to the market earlier, I noticed that there were a lot of watermelon, and tangerines like watermelon as much as oranges.

Chulho smiled and told Tangerine that he would do the cheese dongas and watermelon painting tomorrow.

12 o'clock.

1: 00 a.m.

2: 00 a.m.

“....... ”

Tangerine took to the alley, saying she had to go for a jog. Then he started running around with his knuckles.

‘You drank something. ’

Chulho narrows his eyes and gestures at his armpits. The bracelet approaches Cheolho with a soft wrist.

“What did you eat? ”

It's a secret.]

“Secret?”

[The summoner told you to keep it a secret......]

You roll your eyelids as your arms wriggle. Chulho folds his arms and looks at her. It was a peaceful look with no malice, but it made her even more agitated.

She slowly turns to the kitchen.

[It's a secret. I can't tell you.]

and pointed to the cupboard.

When I opened the cupboard, I found coffee bags inside. Chulho sighed.

“How many drinks? ”

[It's a secret.]

The braces raised two fingers as they said so.

“Oh, my God.”

Chulho sighs. That's what it looks like after two cups of coffee.

[I'm sorry, should I stop him from now on?]

“Well… I don't know. We'll see, won't we? ”

Cheolho slapped her on the shoulder with an icy smile.

“I'm tired. ”

Around that time, I jumped and tangerine came back. Tangerines have a hard time taking a shower, thanks to their armpits! Run! Run! Run! and passed.

Suddenly, I felt like my wet body was getting dry again. My dad told me not to wash up like that, but I tend to take care of it a little late at night.

Then I changed into yellow pajamas, and climbed up to my dad's bed. I turned to the side of my father, looking at the book, cut off his favorite feather pillow and covered it with a feather blanket.

Chulho carefully put out the fire. Tangerine closed her eyes. Two eyes filled with fatigue. If you close your eyes and count to five, you will probably fall asleep.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

...

Seventeen.

...

Thirty-eight.

...

Tangerine opened her eyes after counting to 47, a number she could count.

“...... ”

I couldn't sleep.

Why is that?

Why can't you sleep when your eyes are so full and you're tired and you're drowsy?

Tangerine closed her eyes again.

And then it came up.

“Hak!”

Oh, my gosh!

I can't believe he's gone insomnia!

Tangerine looked up at him with a positive face. Chulho pretended to sleep with his eyes closed, ignorant.

“Papa!”

I ignored the sound of tangerines breathing out loud.

“Pa! I can't sleep! ”

Cook, I almost burst out of laughter.

“Hak! How long? ”

I can't believe my dad can't hear me in his sleep. Tangerine was carefully thought out. And soon I was able to come to a conclusion.

I'm already dreaming!

Tangerine stood up carefully and looked out the window. In a world of breathless serenity, the human mind is completely extinguished.

The sound of weeping insects, mummy- mummy- and the rumbling spiders still come to my ears first.

Yes! Yes!

What a dream!

Tangerine nodded with a face that she only understood. Then he bruises up and leaves the diner.

Dawn was noisy.

I knew it, Mama! The sound of a cicada crying was a problem.

Sometimes, the flying fireflies and the rattlesnake jumped over the grass, and Tangerine sat in the street with no one to blame.

“Stop poetry......”

Tangerine murmured depressingly.

Then.

Mum! Mum! Mum!

At the end of the road, the sound of a cicada's cry stops.

MeowMeowMeowMeow!

Mei-Mei-Mei!

After that, the sound of the seagull was erased, a girl in front of Tangerine lived and only took a small step.

Tangerine's never seen a girl like that before!

She was seven to eight years old, sleeveless Nausicaan with yellow hair and short shorts. As she moves, she reaches out for the noisy trees everywhere.

Knock!

Every time a girl reaches out for a hand, she has a colorful paint. It bursts beautifully into the air.

At the same time, the ants stopped crying. Tangerine followed the girl without me even knowing it. It was the summer fairy Laurent.

Laurent looks back after he has put all the urban spiders to sleep. When Lauren saw the tangerines following her, she smiled.

Suddenly, the edge of Seodaemun Street is complicated.

It was on an unusual grass.

Fairies can't speak. Because of this, I just looked at the tangerine.

“Is it Goya? ”

On a tangerine question, Lauren grinned and snored.

“Sleeping dogs? ”

Lorraine nods and tangerines sag as if she knew. I was tired.

I was too tired even though I was tired. But he never sleeps. I'm sleepy and I can't sleep. This is ridiculous.

No, it's not.

This place is a dream.

When tangerines think like that, Lorraine Zec! I held my head close to Tangerine.

Realizing that Tangerine looked too tired, Lauren tapped both of its cheeks with her index finger.

Knock!

The yellow paint burst on both cheeks of the tangerine, and it soaked in. It doesn't work on those who don't want to sleep, but it's a summer fairy magic that works on those who want to sleep.

“Huh?”

Tangerine's eyes began to close.

Soon, Tangerine fell asleep with her head turned. You snore, sitting in a comforted state, of deep slumber.

Lauren stroked her cheeks with the back of her hand as if such a tangerines were cute and laid her still on the grass. I looked at the armpits standing next to the tangerines with my fingers.

[I'm fine.]

Laurent nods, smiling, and then hits the road on the other side.

Gorong- gorong-

Tangerine fell asleep with a happy face. So the braces, sitting next to him, quietly looked down at his summoner. I'm relieved to know that Chulho is watching over me on the other side of the alley.

.

Early morning.

Tangerine opened her eyes.

Tangerine was lying on his bed. My whole body was so warm and refreshing that I jumped up and ran to the kitchen.

“Papa!”

Tangerine was excited about him and told him about his dream yesterday. In the alleyway, the yellow-haired girl silenced the cicadas.

Chulho glanced at the tangerines.

I have coffee in one hand and a cooking dish in the other. Don Gas rises on a cooking plate with massive piles of cheese!

“Don't go! ”

Tangerine got excited and went to the Fuddak table. He had a handkerchief around his neck and a fork in his hand.

Chulho gave a money gas dish to Tangerine and gave out a cup of coffee.

“Tangerine Coffee? ”

“Kirk blood? ”

I was immediately frightened by the bright face of Tangerine.

“Poetry. Poetry. ”

Cheolho chuckled.

Meow, meow, meow!

On the other side, the spiders cry loudly today. I don't know what you're yelling at, but it was something very desperate.

It was the sound of summer.
