Life, Once Again!

* * *

Dojin's eyes gleam with curiosity and joy, and the crowd looks around nervously. This reaction alone explains the nature of the two.

“Liquor?”

The crowd asks. The floor nods.

“How did you get it? ”

“I took what was in the refrigerator. ”

“Is that okay? Don't you get in trouble if you get caught? ”

“I'm the one who should be worried, so don't worry about it. Daemyung, have you ever had a drink? ”

“Never. Never. ”

The floor immediately picked a can and gave it to the colonel.

“Drink.”

“ ……. ”

“I'm not dying to eat. ”

I saw a flare next to him. “Hurry and try it.” The colony is reluctant to drink. The collar is trembling.

“Ah, write it down. ”

“Do you write?”

I take a sip of canned beer with a little crunch.

“What's that taste? ”

“Why?”

“No. Beer tastes good in movies. So I was curious about the taste...... but I wonder what it tastes like. ”

“They are both proof that they are still pure. ”

The floor takes a can of beer and takes a cool sip. The 45-year-old takes four bottles of soju off the stool. It's because I'm good at decoding alcohol. I came back in the past, but I didn't change my body. Rather, the body is healthier than ever. Even a bottle of soju on an empty stomach doesn't seem to be a problem.

“Are you tasty? ”

Dojin asked with an impression.

“I'm not as innocent as you are. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“Only when the time of the world comes will you know why it tastes so good. You have to go through something dirty to know why you're looking for him. So this sucks, which means I'm living a perfectly healthy life. ”

The floor handed him a can of beer.

“Can you talk now? ”

The crowd struggles and flees.

“Then drink more. It might help a little. You'll catch a cold. ”

Taiwan closed his eyes and drank beer on the floor's recommendation. Gulp, gulp. It is the name of the person who wants to shoot up the remaining cans at once.

“I didn't ask you to drink it all at once... Are you okay? ”

“Huh? Huh. It's nothing.”

“For now. Let's take a walk.”

Two people started walking along the floor. So I walked a little bit in the park and came back to the basketball court.

“Hey, look at his face. ”

Dojin points to the other person's face. It turns red. It doesn't look like a flurry of blooms, and it looks good.

Whereas.

“Dojin, you suck your face a lot. ”

“What? Me? ”

The public is worried. His face turned red as if it were exploding. I've only had a sip.

“Dojin, if you get dizzy, get out of first place. ”

“Primary? Or is it more like that? I don't feel fine. ”

Dodger raises his hand to touch his cheek. And then I'm furious. Maybe it's the hot cheeks.

“Hey, I'm going around again. I'm talking to you. Wow, what's going on? ”

Dojin starts walking in the park again, fluttering his hand debt.

‘Is the liver bad? ’

I don't think we should encourage him to drink.

“Dodge okay? ”

“No problem. I just don't drink. How's it going?”

“Huh? Not much else. Ah, my lips are a little numb. Like when I was under anesthesia without my teeth. That reminds me. I was strong then. I don't understand why they're afraid of dentists. That's why I boasted to the kids after I went to the dentist. I took it all at once. I didn't cry. Ha, I did. Why this is happening. ”

A man who talks about drinking.

Someone didn't. Alcohol is a name given to people because they say it makes them drink. They don't seem to be aware, but they seem to be quite relaxed by the alcohol.

The floor listened for a moment to let the colonel have a good chat alone. Never seen it before. I get excited and talk about the old days.

‘It's all about pre-3rd grade national schools. ’

I think the reason why the people became so passive is in middle school.

“But this is what my partner said in the third grade of the national school, or elementary school. You look ridiculous. ”

An energetic opponent dies all at once. Your voice becomes smaller and your speech becomes a little more quiet. The switch seems to be on. A switch that passively drives the populace.

“It was normal that day. Same clothes as always. But he did it. You look ridiculous. From then on, I teased that the kids looked funny when they saw me. No offense. You know, just kids calling each other names. That's what it was. But... I couldn't smile strangely. Maybe it's because it's true. I look like an idiot. ”

The crowd laughs frankly. As I looked up at the floor, the floor didn't say anything.

“Keep talking. ”

“Huh?"

“I'll listen. Tell me everything. ”

“ ……. ”

A little hesitant colonel opens his mouth again. What happened after that, how he got kicked out of middle school.

“It's such a shame to follow you around. And I can't blame you for not being good at it. You look ridiculous and fat. Stupid, can't talk. I had no choice. ”

The colony sees the floor again.

The floor raises its chin slightly to keep going. The colony hesitates again. I don't think I have enough to say.

“What else do you want to say? ”

“Huh?"

“Anything else you'd like to share? ”

“Eh……. ”

“Really?"

The floor looked at the colony for a moment. Was he sober, or did he become aware of himself as he spoke? My body and shoulders shrug together like a girl in legs and skirts.

“…… Ridiculous, right? I had no choice but to settle for that. Funny, I know. I'm kind of a prick. But it's okay now. I don't mind. I have friends. I have a kid who listens to me like this. ”

A faint smile.

But...

My neck and shoulders don't open.

The floor looks into the eyes of the crowd. I wasn't looking for a speech bubble. There's no need for that. He was speaking his mind with his whole body.

I just wanted to see the reaction.

He lowers his head, not looking you in the eye for just a short while.

“Daemyung.”

“... I'm sorry. ‘

“My old friend. I've said this before. I stay put here, but I get farther and closer because of the other guy. ”

The floor stood up and stood in front of the colony. And he straightened his shoulders and straightened his lower back.

“Try to relax your legs. ”

The colony opens its legs slightly. Awkward pose. Why is your fist rolling around again and placing it on your knee?

This is a recruit reporting a transfer.

The floor sat next to the colonel again.

“Even if I behave normally, the assessment changes depending on the person next to me. Some people say that they work really hard, and some say that they work hard. I haven't changed, but I've changed because of my surroundings. ”

“ ……. ”

“People are so spacious. He wants to meddle. If it's expressed in a good way, it's like volunteering, and if it's bad, it's going in a bad way. That's the part you can't help. You can't stop people from evaluating me. We can do it legally, but unfortunately, we're underage. ”

The colony nods slightly.

It seems to understand.

“Finally, I have to live with those assessments, but here's the important thing. ”

The floor holds a double-handed index finger. And then I made it into a 'T' shape.

“The finger lying horizontally here is people's assessment. It could be bias. ”

The floor moves the lying finger up and down like a seesaw.

“Sometimes you can hear positive things. ”

Point your finger to the other side.

“Sometimes you can hear the negative. ”

It moves up and down like a seesaw again.

“Unfortunately, there's no way you can control this. We can't control other people's minds. Right?"

“Eh……. ”

“But look. Finger standing vertically here. ”

The floor rests the vertically raised finger in the middle of the horizontally lying finger.

“This is how you cross accents and criticism, but if your fingers hold the center well, you can't bend too far on one side. But what happens when this center loses its balance? ”

“Reputations... are getting sidetracked. ”

“I know. ”

The floor folds its fingers.

“The best people know how to get a good reputation from people. And we do a lot of things to build that reputation. But not everyone in the world can be that great. Isn't that right?”

“Huh."

“In the end, you have to find a way to live a normal life, and this is the answer. Being centered. This core should not be distracted. It's made very hard. This is what it looks like to be born. This core is unshakeable despite the chaotic accusations. That's who you are. But there is a man who easily shakes the center of this. ”

“…… Who are you? ”

The public asks, "Damascus bin can is frozen in his hand."

“You know that. ”

“ ……. ”

“What did you say? Weird guy? Funny-looking motherfucker? Stingy? What else did he say? ”

“ ……. ”

“Others can ruin me. But it's worse if I mess with me than that. If someone's messing with me, it can be overcome. It's environmental. It's dirty. We don't have to live with them. But if you're the one who's shaking the center...... that's a pretty dangerous stage, I think. ”

The floor remembers all the words that were spoken by the colony in their old stories. Lots of negative words. Rather than calling themselves handsome, cool, and handsome, all the friends who bullied themselves, they only used words like pigs, idiots, and idiots when referring to themselves.

The cracks inside are scarier than the cracks outside.

People don't recognize the cracks inside. If you live with such a division for a long time, you will come to ruin one day. The floor has seen many such people. The laughter of a fellow knight who killed himself who couldn't hold on to his memoirs faintly grazes his head.

“Then... what should I do? ”

“Well, I can't tell you how great it is, not you. And I think it's a trick to show you how to do that. Think about what it was like before you called yourself an idiot. I dare say that the beginning starts with thinking about myself at that time. Of course it will be difficult. People don't change overnight. Human beings don't change even after you give them a death sentence. If these conversations change a person's personality, that's even more of a problem. ”

“ ……. ”

A depressed opponent. He's probably thinking a lot. The colony opens their mouths, waiting for a moment.

* * *

I think a lot.

I have so many thoughts that I can forget the cold.

He looks down at his hand. I'm not fat. I'm fat. He weighed a few. I don't think I'm tall, but my body only spreads sideways. This is all my fault, too.

“Actually, I was playing a game, and I thought, I think I'm running away from the game. On the monitor, I'm free to talk to anyone. ”

“Hmm."

“If I exercised when I was playing games, I would lose weight and be better than I am now. Like this pig...... No, maybe he was thin like you instead of looking like this. Ha.”

He scratches his head. I feel like I've realized something.

I think I understand what the floor is trying to say.

“I've decided. I'm going to stop playing games and work out. If you lose weight like that, the kids will take care of you differently, right? Yeah, and then I'll be able to stand up for myself. ”

Yeah, it is.

Then you can take it.

Daemyung thanked the floor for listening to him. I've been telling you the truth for so long. I'll buy you something later.

I thought about it and looked at the floor.

I was going to tell you to go back now that your troubles are resolved.

By the way.

The look on the floor was not very bright.

“Did I tell you? People don't change that easily. But...... if that's your answer, I won't say a word. Oh, you already have. ”

He scratched his eyebrows with a shy smile.

Why the hell not?

He couldn't figure out what went wrong.

Thank you, Sun-choko.

It's cold.

A lot.
