I Was A Porter

_

“Ah……. Oh, it's my baby! He's here! Where have you been, and now you're here? ”

Without shoes, I ran out barefoot and embraced my son, and I felt one breast warmer in the hand of Mother beating on the back of my elongated child.

“Let me see, my baby, this is a dream. I'm not dead, am I? No, it's okay. I saw it when I was dead. ”

Tears were pouring out like a waterfall from Mother's wrinkled eyes, holding her son's face with both wrinkled hands.

When I saw Mother holding her face to the front of my nose and touching the elongated face, my heart seemed to be torn even more.

“Mother, I'm right back. I'm sorry I didn't get here sooner. ”

The man hugged his mother strongly. The hats curled each other with tears flowing.

“I'm glad you're alive and well. Thank God. I knew you'd come back alive. I knew you'd come back. My son has a son. Thank God, Buddha. Thank you so much."

“Mother, you must be cold. Let's go inside. ”

The man was worried about his mother standing barefoot, and told her to wipe her tears with her sleeves like when she was a giant and go inside.

“What the hell? I came back to life and I'm freezing to death. Let's go inside.”

Then Mother checked the man's mollusk, noticed his son standing barefoot just like herself, and was furious and dragged into the house with her hands.

After entering the house and touching the floor, the man added a sinful heart to Mother's appearance to make sure that she had come back in one piece, stroking her elongated face and body while seating her son on the warmest floor of the room.

“Are you hurt? It's cold, but it's cold, and it's cold. Give me a minute.”

“Mother, I'm not cold. I haven't washed in a while, so I'm going to clean up a little bit. ”

That said, Mother got up from her seat, holding her knee.

“Let me turn on some warm water for you. Sit down for a second. Are you hungry? Do you want me to make you some kimchi stew? You liked kimchi stew. ”

“Yes……. I really wanted to eat my mom's food. ”

“Yes, sit down. Lucky for you, Bob's here. I'll make you kimchi stew in no time. Wash up. I'll make you a cake. ”

The man looked at the rear view of Mother entering the kitchen. I felt heartbroken because of my old mother.

While my mother was making kimchi stew, I went to the bathroom and began to wash my body neatly, which had not been washed for a long time.

The body that had not washed for several months was sometimes pushed out of the drink without soaking in the bath, and the hair was covered with oil until the shampoo was washed several times so that the foam could work properly.

“Son, I left my clothes at the door. ”

Meanwhile, she left her clothes at the bathroom door.

I tried to take a simple shower, but it took thirty minutes for my body to shower for a long time. I didn't cut the hot hair, but after shaving it gently, I saw a face that looked exactly the same as it did 20 years ago beyond the gate.

He was over forty-two years old, but unusually, he appeared in his early twenties.

I thought it was because I ate so much stone, but I didn't know the details.

After finishing the shower neatly, I came out and picked up the clothes that were at the door and put them on. Unlike a perfectly groomed beard, the crazy, untidy hair headed to the kitchen with a towel.

“Come, sit down. ”

In the pile of rice air, I felt Mother's love so big that I couldn't put it in the bowl.

I picked up the spoon, put the rice in a spoon's mouth, and tried to stick the spoon out toward the stew, but my tears burst again.

He was the one who survived beyond the gate and did not shed tears, but there was no way to stop the tears that burst when the warm rice prepared by Mother went into his mouth.

“Food's getting cold. Son, eat up. The stew will be really good. ”

My mother also looked at my son warmly with reddened eyes.

I swallowed tears and stew in my mouth for a long time as if I wouldn't forget this flavor. Then I looked up at Mother.

“Mother, it's so good. ”

“Okay, stop crying and try this. ”

Like a mother bird who put food in the mouths of the young birds, Mother took the dish with her hand chopsticks and put it in her son's mouth one by one. You hear a voice coming from behind the front door as he eats his supper halfway through.

“Why did you leave the gate wide open? Honey, where are you? ”

When I heard Father's voice, my mother's face lit up like the moon.

“I'm at home. Come on in. Someone's here.”

“Are my granddaughters here? ”

I opened the door and swallowed the rice that was in my mouth in his voice and went out to the living room.

“Huh? I don't have any shoes. Someone came... ”

When he took off his shoes from the porch and searched for the shoes of the democracy and granddaughter, he saw his son coming out of the kitchen and became stiff as a stone statue.

“Father, I'm back. ”

“Are you my son? Wormé, what the hell? Isn't this a dream?"

My father was so surprised that the accent that he thought he had fixed 30 years ago came out of nowhere.

I took off one shoe and jumped into the living room with the other shoe and grabbed his face with both hands.

The father, writhing his son's face like clay, quickly turned his head to look at Mother, thinking that his neck was broken.

“Oh, wow. This is not a dream. ”

“He's our son. Seung-ho's back. ”

His father, who was still rubbing Seung-ho's face, smelled a family full of kimchi stew. After realizing that he had left without eating, he led Seung-ho to the kitchen and sat down.

“Welcome back, son. Let's eat. Let's eat and talk. ”

“I have so much to tell you. ”

While emptying the rice and eating the extra air, my mother also chewed the guinea pig's kimchi dipped in her hands.

As soon as the rice air became visas, God put it in the mouth of the preacher, Kim Chi, who baked it as a role, as soon as he stopped making more food air for Mother. I was filled with a bowl of crystal that let me go in case I got choked.

“Mother, this is as far as I go. I'm not over it anymore. ”

“Then I'll cut you an apple. You want some red? ”

“Mother, just give me an apology. ”

“Yes, let's go to the living room. ”

I sat on the floor with the living room couch and looked at each other's faces.

My father held one hand and wouldn't let go. My mother almost cut off her hand while looking at Seung-ho's face.

“Mother, please. I'll take it.”

“No, no, I want to do it. ”

However, while looking at Seung-ho's face, the apple shredded its flesh.

“How did you live? ”

My mother put a piece of apple in my mouth and asked me.

“Mom, let me show you something cool. Give me an apple and a knife. ”

When I asked her to give me an apple and a knife in response to how she lived, she made a curious face, but she held it in her son's hand.

I wrapped my hands around him and felt the warmth of his son.

When I looked at her warmly, he let go of my hand. He holds the apple in his left hand in his right hand.

“Here, take a look. ”

As Seung-ho threw the apple up, the apple suddenly took off its red clothes and shyly showed its white innards.

“... What a pretty sharpening of apples. ”

I couldn't understand how great the skill was, so I smiled awkwardly at Mother for praising me.

“Haha, I've been slapping some monsters across the gate. Most of them were weak, so they made it safely. ”

If the dead monsters were in Seung-ho's hands, the bone fragments would rise. For 20 years, the dead monsters ridiculed hundreds of thousands of them.

At first, I hid, of course, but I grew stronger and stronger as I wandered around trying to find my way back, and the world beyond the gate suffered a catastrophe of victory.

And to return to the land beyond the gate, I was also somewhat close to the secrets of the gate.

“You caught a monster? Seung-ho, aren't you a porter? Even if you get Hunter's license, you're only supposed to be a porter, right? ”

“I've been left alone beyond the gate, Hunter and Porter. Who cares?“ Without Hunter, I took him alive. ”

“Somewhere beyond the gate, let's take a closer look. ”

When Mother stroked Seung-ho's hand and asked, Seung-ho closed his eyes and thought.

Even 15 years ago, Seung-ho thought that if he went back to the world he lived in, he would boast about how great monsters he had beaten.

And 10 years from now, if he came back, he was going to show off the strength he had gained.

Five years ago, I would normally go to work and show off like a hero at a bar with my friends.

However, not long before I came back, I wished that I could go back, because I could do something that I didn't have the strength to do.

“It's just that different kinds of monsters build and live on their territory, and if they don't enter their territory, they won't attack. So I went around hiding. ”

There was no room for monsters' realms to overlap.

As the force grows, the user attacks the other. As the other becomes weaker, the user attacks the target and eats everything in its path.

If the surrounding monsters were to be killed and their realm grew larger, they would actually have a larger realm of ascension than any other monster's realm.

Ten years after his stay at the gate, the monsters were busy hiding from the tide.

However, because they didn't know this fact, they lied without needing to put it on their lips to ease their hearts.

“Yes, well done. Good job. I didn't think you were gonna die. I refused to allow the Association to sign the death certificate as long as they're alive. We still have a missing persons report, so let's go back tomorrow and file a missing persons report. ”

“But, Father, did our attackers succeed? Isn't the final gate closed? ”

At Seung-ho's words, my father sighed loudly.

“Don't tell me, the gate started opening again ten years ago. ”

“I'm glad.”

Ascension was also possible because another gate was opened and connected to the other side of the gate where he was trapped.

“What a relief, Kim. West died for it too! ”

However, Seung-ho said that his father had a grudge against him.

I tilted my head and looked at Mother, but Mother looked at Father and noticed.

“I'm telling you, you can't make a mistake in front of people or democracies or children. When you left for the gate, the democracy was already pregnant. ”

My father explained to me while holding Mother's eyes.

“That parasitic dude drove past the Olympic Boulevard three years ago, and the gate opened in front of him. West Kim just ran right over the gate. That's why the democracy has become a widow in slumber, so don't say that you're lucky in front of people or democracy or children. ”

“Yes, Father... I didn't know that was gonna happen. ”

It breaks my heart to hear that my brother's democracy lost his husband in an accident. Accidents caused by the gate.

“If you were unlucky, what are the chances that a gate would appear right in front of a car running on the Olympic Boulevard? Luckily, they didn't get eaten by monsters, so they buried them well. ”

“How's the democracy? ”

When I lost my husband and asked how my brother was doing, my mother made an unflinching look on his face.

“I work as a cashier at the grocery store. You don't come home often these days to earn a penny or two to send your kids off to college for a Western Kim bounty! ”

“Democrats then... ”

“Only two daughters, fortunately they don't resemble democracy and resemble West Kim. ”

Even hedgehogs say my cubs are pretty, but Kim seems to have a fabulous personality.

When she was talking about democracy, she looked heartbroken, but she seemed excited about her grandchildren's stories.

“Granddaughters visit more often than daughters. That windshield your father wears saved up two granddaughters to buy it as a birthday present, but he bragged about it in the neighborhood for three months. She wears clothes that aren't dry and comes out with a cold. ”

“Wha.... What are you talking about? I don't have any clothes on! ”

“What would a man say, with 10 more costly wardrobes than that windshield? ”

Seeing the two parents grunting, a smile was drawn on their mouth automatically.

“Mother, Father. I'll buy you two some clothes. You should wear what I buy for you for a long time. ”

The words of Seung-ho surprised my mother.

“Arthur, where is your money now? ”

“Mother, I have a lot of money. No, there will be more. ”

In Seung-ho's confident voice, the two parents tilted their heads at the same time. He said they looked alike, but they both looked cute with their heads turned to the left.

Seung-ho got up from his seat and walked out of the living room with a giggle, leaving it on one side of the bathroom.

“Why did you bring that filthy thing out? Throw it over to the veranda! ”

My mother was bruised, but when Seung-ho came out of the living room and flipped it over, a number of stones poured out, wondering where the hell she was.

There were lower and lower levels of stalls, but mostly middle class stalls, and my parents recognized them.

“S- …. Seung-ho, what's all this? ”

“What would I have done for 20 years? Oh, what I caught was a few of them fighting amongst themselves and exhuming the remains. ”

That can't be right.

If monsters fight and kill each other, the first thing they do is pull out the opponent's Stable and swallow it. All monsters share the same behavior.

However, most of them were of their own kind within the gate, so they could not have known this.

“I don't know the market right now, but don't you think it's pretty expensive for a mid-market? ”
