Life, Once Again!

* * *

At a large convenience store in front of Suwon Station, a spot that was just looking out the window carelessly stood up. I left my coffee half drunk and ran outside.

“Hong Geun-suk.”

Slowly turning your head to the side of the bus, the limestone slows down. At that moment, the corners caught wrinkles in his brow. I feel like people have changed. Due to the peculiar camouflage, Fossil approached the stone with a faster pace. The thought of approaching and having to check filled my head.

“Hey, why are you so stiff? ”

I smiled like yesterday and tried to tap the shoulder of the stone with the back of my hand. Usually, the walking insult should be returned, but the reaction seen by the cornerstones was unimaginable. Muscle that covers your face with arms raised. A miserable distorted face was filled with horror.

His hand stops in the air. Root stone glances at him with trembling eyes, slowly lowering its arms as it flares. I couldn't say anything about the stiffness. Even asking what happened instinctively knew that it would hurt my friend in front of me.

“... I hope it's hot, but I hope it's warm. Wait a minute."

I went back into the convenience store and bought a warm chocolate coffee. Carefully pushing forward, the stone raised its hand and grabbed the plastic container. Every action was so tense that I could hardly breathe. What happened during the day.

“Let's take a walk. ”

When I talked to him, he was almost listening. That was the usual way of talking. Today, however, I didn't say a word. I just did as I was told. Eyes on the ground and shoulders. Occasionally, cars honk at Clarkson, and the stone flinches like a lightning bolt in front of your nose. He drenched his hands in coffee from the container he was holding, but the limestone only rang and stared at the car that was far away.

“Sook-seok.”

“Ah, ah. It's hot.”

It was a slow response. Despite my hands running a little red, the stone didn't care much. I'm being chased by something else, like this wound is nothing...

I turned to the red light side of Suwon Station and went to the alley where the paved wagon had been stretched out. I looked for a house that I frequented in middle school, but unfortunately I didn't buy it. Instead, I entered the orange wrapped wagon with the word Udong on it.

From Suwon Station to the moment I ordered udon from the packaged wagon, I didn't say a word.

“Mother, please make it delicious. ”

“Yes, I'll make it delicious. I give a lot of service to my students, so come often. ”

“Yes, Mother. ”

I answered with a smile like a habit, but the smile didn't last long. Seoseok asked, sticking his chopsticks out to the stone.

“What's going on? ”

“…… No. Nothing happened. ”

“I saw you limp a little earlier. Where are you hurt? ”

“Just a little. ”

“Really?"

You nod, smiling bitterly. This silence. The space where lies are born. The open-minded opponent once again builds up a wall of lies. Don't mind if I tell you that nothing happened. I wouldn't have bothered you if you'd drawn a line that wasn't your problem.

“Are you sure everything's okay? ”

“Nothing happened. ”

The lady put the two pearls on the table. The cornerstone pushes the bulky side toward the stone. Recent stones quietly began to eat the chopsticks. The blue skin caught in the eyes of the cornerstone while looking down at the stone that eats the copper. The bruising marks on the left shoulder were clearly visible between the clothes. In an unusual wound, Fossil tried to raise his hand and touch the shoulder of the stone without my knowledge.

At that moment, the coup and stone fell backwards. The table falters on the feet of the stumbler, and the bowl of pebbles twists. Hot soup and cotton were scattered all over the floor.

“I'm sorry, Mother. I made a mistake. ”

“Oh, careful. Are you hurt? ”

“Yes, I'll clean this up. I need a mop. ”

“Leave it. She's cleaning it up. ”

Fossil bowed her head to a cool smiling woman. Meanwhile, the cornerstone that arose with a blank expression left the packing wagon without a word. Zenith did the math and immediately chased after the quartz. The boulder that was walking in a quick step greatly shifted. Zenith approached and tried to support him, but he refused.

“Enough. I'll do it. I have to. ”

It seemed as if I shouldn't get help.

A stone that tells me nothing. The fossil still smiles lightly and sticks to the side. The friendship that started with a lie is the only friend left at the end. I don't know what happened, but I wanted to comfort him. I firmly believed that the relationship could be restored, though I was disappointed that he would lie and try to escape this moment.

Let's wait until your friend opens up his mind again. It was time to walk in line with that thought. I heard a phone ringing. Seok-seok took his phone out of his pocket and answered the phone.

“Hello? Maruya.”

Maru said he called about the script reading that will be on Saturday. The day when actors come together to lead in front of directors, writers and journalists. Immediately after the event, I start filming from the next week. I heard that the goal was to close the shoot in August and go into editing.

“Eugene asked you to come together? I'm good, yeah. Okay, but I'm glad you called me first. I call often.”

A new friend. A kid with a hard face. Even talking to famous people has a certain tone of fun. But I knew from experience that it wasn't cold inside.

It was time to take a step back thinking about the schedule next week. You can see the stone we were walking next to each other one step behind. The stone lowers its head and looks at the ground. I thought I'd dropped something on the ground, but I looked around, but nothing caught my eye.

“What's the matter? ”

“You... you're not one of them. ”

“Yes! Do you know the floor? Ah, I see. Since the floor is also in the theater department, I might have met him at the same place as the competition. I heard that he goes to a high school in the water on the floor. It can't be the same school, can it? No, the same school is awesome. ”

I was a little happy to have a conversation topic. He smiled and approached the stone. Looking forward to a good smile while talking about the floor.

“Son of a bitch.”

The halfway up in the air has brakes on your feet. The cornerstone stopped walking towards the cornerstone and stood there. The eyes of the cornerstone were covered with feelings I had never seen before. Just looking at it gives me the creeps. A streetlight located above the boulder's head illuminates. The streetlights that came up instead of the falling sun extended the shadow of the stone. The terraces couldn't be more agitated by the long shadow. I feel like the shadow itself will rise and run. I experienced through a friend that a person could become so ferocious.

“Hong Geun-suk.”

“Son of a bitch. Get out of my way. ”

“Hey, Lee Geun-suk. ”

I frowned and summoned the quartz, but the quartz walked past me without seeing any reaction. What the hell is going on? I grabbed the complicated head and quickly approached the side of the stone. At that moment, the stone was roughly swinging its arm. Sudden fly elbows cannot be avoided.

With a thud, a stunning shock rises from the cheekbone. For a moment, my vision became dim. I leaned down, feeling dizziness in the sky, and I landed on the ground with my arms.

“…… Nearby. ”

I tried to summon the stone, but his steps were heading forward without hesitation. By the time he got up from his seat, the stone had already disappeared.

The cornerstone stares up at the dim sky.

Standing there for a while, Seok-seok lifted his phone.

The finger was pointed at the call button.

* * *

“What brings you to Seoul? ”

The floor said, taking off the hood. I gave the location of the stop to the spot asking where the chief lived, and the answer came right back. I asked you to speak over the phone, but all you had to do was look at my face and ask. I came out to meet you curious about the voice of a different geographic location in a minute.

“I came to see a friend and I have a reason to see you. ”

The grin on the ground in the dark seems to be fading. The floor leads you to the playground behind the stop. You sit on the bench with a swing that twitches in the wind.

“What's going on? ”

I was thinking it would be good to have a beer. A strange name came out of his mouth.

“You're not a cornerstone. ”

The floor shuts its mouth and gazes at the ground. He has a complicated face. The look of longing for answers. The floor replied that it knows.

“Can I ask what happened? ”

“The friend you mentioned before is Lee Geun-suk Hong. ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

“Was he the friend who lived in the water last time? ”

“Huh."

“Are you close?”

“A lot.”

The floor felt his mouth tidy. Friends can exist even for bastards. Of course you do. Like a vicious criminal could be a loving family to anyone.

If you suddenly come here at this hour, it means you're not in a light relationship. The floor clears its mind for a moment and opens its mouth. I told Seok in a calm voice the story as it is, without subtraction.

After listening to the story, he didn't say anything for a while. I slapped my knee with my fingers, just looking forward to it boldly.

Less and less people are coming home across the playground, and the stationery next to it cleans up the store. When the moths gathered behind the bench and slammed into each other with a tick, the mouth of the standing seat opened slightly.

“He's a bad... guy. Like you said, it wasn't that bad in middle school. Rather, everyone remembered him to be polite and kind. But I found out. That's not what I meant. Recent stones, yeah, he's a self-absorbed kid. But he wasn't avoiding people. He was just... he wasn't honest. ”

He clenched his fist several times and repeated it. The bitterness in your mouth is also embedded in your voice. I could see that the cornerstone was regarded as a valuable friend.

“I know you were right in your head. But... it hurts a little. Couldn't we have done it differently? ”

“We talked about it, we talked about it, we talked about it, we had ways of repeating things over and over again. But, it takes a long time. Most of all, I had no reason to give such consideration to him. You don't have to go back to work when you have a clear and concise means. Well, it looks like something's come up. ”

“Maybe I didn't get a good look at you. I didn't think you'd be so cold. ”

“It would be even funnier if you just listened to me for a couple of meetings. I don't know what you think of me, but most of it will be different. It took me forever to get to know myself... ”

And I said, "Yeah, I hear you. You're a good talker. I feel it every time I talk. There's a different depth to me. But that's why... It's a shame. ”

It was a grinning spot. You must have seen the cornerstones of the cliff, so I can understand that look on your face.

He shakes his head and slowly gets up from his seat.

“One drink. You're a good friend. ”

“I don't know.”

“No, you're a good friend. You're a good kid. I felt it the first time I saw it. I watched the audition together, and I realized that I wasn't wrong. And I thought, you know, I would really enjoy acting with this guy. If we work together, we can make it to the top. But things are different now. He'll do better than you. I don't want to go up there with you. I'll be right in front of you. ”

He stepped away from the bench.

“This is my own shy revenge. My best friend hates you. That's why I need you to do this. But you're my best friend. So understand.”

“Suit yourself. ”

“Here we go. Sorry I called you so late. ”

At the end, it was still a bright smile. Maru decided to tell me something I shouldn't have to laugh at.

“Don't worry about cornerstones. I've already told the most reliable person. I'm sure they'll take care of it. ”

“Really? That's a relief. As expected...... I don't think you're that cold-hearted. It's a little cold, though. I'll buy you cocoa next time. It'll warm you up a bit. ”

"It is also your ability to make those strange words sound harmless."

"Is that so?"

It was a pebble that was waving its hand under the streetlight. The floor watched him and waved his hands reluctantly.
