Life, Once Again!

* * *

“Youth is good. ”

Choi Hyuk sniffed the coffee aroma coming out of the mug. A writer I know gave me a sour coffee, but I like the aroma. I sat on the work bench with the glass. A dining table in the living room. This old desk, which has been bought for over 10 years, was the seawater's favorite workbench and household number 1. The creamy notebook situated on top is in Salem No. 2.

I put the mug next to my laptop and looked at the printed draft. I recently refined the manuscript that I had finished with a few taps two years ago. A tale of love between men and women. I didn't want to use it, but I've been seeing my daughter's behavior lately. Thank you for reminding me of the old manuscript.

I turned the music on so small that I could barely hear the lyrics and turned on the word program. To get to this moment, the seawater did the cleaning and pushed laundry, prepared the bottom plate, and even the small ceramic dolls that were decorated next to the TV were carefully wiped. Afterwards, he admitted that he had nothing else to do but write, and sat down in front of his laptop in a mug.

But just because you turned on the Word program doesn't mean you write right away. Here, I don't even know how long it will take to create the first sentence, or a space for indentation.

While I was watching the TV with my mug in my hand, I remembered the phone call from the floor earlier.

“You rascal. ”

I asked her if she had come in very carefully after taking out all the branches that pray for peace and happiness in my family. The ball was hypothetically taken to find out about her absence, so the seawater gave an easy answer.

- I'll be right back. Yes, Mother.

The floor said that and said that it was sorry for calling late to see you next time, and said a lot of words to hang up the phone properly. The exhausted seawater asked for her daughter first and then quit.

“Oh, is that what you're after? ”

Like a fox. I don't hate to use my head, so I won't notice. There was a text from her 20 minutes ago saying she was leaving by bus, so maybe they're meeting now at the front stop of the apartment complex.

The sea water drank a cup of coffee. It was said to be strong, but it was no different from regular coffee because the tongue was not sensitive. It's better to be ordinary. I wouldn't even drink it if it tasted too personal.

“The floor will hold the lead. ”

I put my finger on the laptop batsman and muttered. I'll ask you later. If you ask your daughter these questions, it would be better to ask the floor as she jumps up and down.

“Should I call you home at all? ”

It will be a different kind of fun to watch a restless daughter. After my husband left first, my daughter lost her charming appearance as a child, whether she received similar pressure to grow up boldly. She is a grateful daughter just for growing up healthy, but there is also a sad part. My daughter was a fat child, but it was hard to rely on anyone. It is not reluctant, but difficult.

Every time I saw her as a parent, I couldn't help but feel sorry. Her daughter, who was crying a lot but not weak, lived with her eyes full of worries about her mother.

Early adult daughter, no, early adult daughter.

She always thought she wanted her daughter to rely on herself more. He smokes like a baby, he writes like a baby, he mumbles like a pig. I wanted to see her behave like a child of any age, but she always smiled, wrapped in a shell that said she must mature her immature soul.

She didn't want to break her efforts as a mother, so I accepted her silently.

‘But things seem to have changed a little bit. ’

Whether she started acting or met the floor, her daughter changed a bit after she entered high school. I was less hesitant to bring up the story inside.

Recently, it seems to be holding back as it used to be, but the sea water did not inquire about the situation. If you're worried and ask, you'll dig deeper and leave a smile that says it's okay.

“Would it have been any different if he was alive? ”

The sea water looks up at the ceiling for a moment, grabbing the mug that was still warm and running away. This is as far as getting wet. It's time to work.

When I was thinking about it, I got a message from a messenger. It was a note from Ahn Pil-hyun. I emailed the plaintiff a while ago to hear the sentiment of the completed draft, and it was about him.

- Aren't you being a little overprotective?

She grips her teeth and sighs low. He's light enough to give his soul for a chicken and a beer, but he's not as excited about his work as he is about it. There is no such thing as a co-author.

The sea presses the spacebar with a bitter smile.

Thanks to this, my desire for work rose tremendously.

The swing creaks. She kicks the dirt under her feet once more. The swing makes a loud noise again.

“It's gotten pretty cold. ”

The floor sitting on the swing next to me said, She yells out loud, "Yes."

“What's going on? ”

Ten minutes. I greeted him at the stop with a frown, and came here without thinking of going to the playground. Then we sat on the swing, listening to the sound of rusted iron squawking at each other, for 10 minutes before we could even ask.

“I came to see you. ”

Like ‘The sun will rise tomorrow,’ the floor opened its mouth with a face that seemed to speak very naturally. In a straightforward answer, she was again speechless. If it were normal, he would have said, "Don't come here unannounced," from embarrassment to jest, and between gladness and joy.

That would be me, but she had a hard time saying it today.

“Really?"

Suddenly, I reacted with a dry tone. I thought this might not be the case, but after a while I came to the conclusion that this is better. Let's show them we're tired. Then the floor will worry about the condition of the body, and if you lead the conversation in that direction, you will be able to end the conversation without bringing it up.

It's a shallow figure, but she has no time to think about it. Moderately nice timing. That's what the floor said. She thought to herself, Perfect timing.

As soon as I saw the floor standing at the stop, I almost told him about the person who had been harassing me for the past few weeks. He understands how hard and painful he was, and his desire to comfort him rises like a balloon. It was because I realized that I didn't want to be a burden.

“That's a bad reaction. ”

“I'm sorry. I'm tired. There's been yawns and yawns all over the place. ”

She pretends to yawn to open her mouth.

“You know what? ”

The floor staring at her said.

“What?”

“I see all your fangs when you yawn. It was a sign that yawning would be exhausting. ”

A floor that grins and throws out its fangs.

She looks away, smiling shyly. It didn't matter how I knew that now. The important thing is that the floor is looking at you anxiously.

“I'm just tired. Weekend photo shoot for weekday practice. I don't have time to play, and my mom keeps me running errands at home. You know, when my mom starts writing, she doesn't do any housework at all. I cleaned the dishes... Don't tell me. I have a housekeeper. Even if we get married later, we can take care of one family member without worrying. ”

I took out the horse in a hurry. I don't even know what I'm talking about. I felt the words hurrying out like wet cotton wool on the floor. It was because the floor was staring quietly.

I don't know what to say.

She lets go of all that happened during the day. Woodong came out of lunch and was upset because he was suddenly spotted at the time of the presentation. I was surprised how funny a successor was during the play practice....

Her mouth dries dry. She wakes up from the swing with a shy smile.

“Hey, it's past 12: 00. ”

“I see.”

She glances at the floor, puckering. Then the floor stood up on the swing.

“It's really hard to practice in Anyang. ”

Something unexpected came out of the floor mouth. She stares at the floor with a deaf face.

“Kanghwan, it's not green either. If you practice, you won't rest unless you're perfect. I'd like to take a break, but I won't allow it. That's it? Even Smiles aren't ordinary. More than Kanghwan, not weak. But the problem is, I've been practicing that, and I've been having a nervous breakdown. I tried, but what if this effort is useless? ”

The floor that said it was really exhausting and frightening. I've known it for two years, but I've never seen a floor that looked so weak. It's nothing like crying unconsciously in a cinema.

“I still often think about it now. Should I quit now and focus on something else for sure? But acting is fun, so I hesitate again. It's a hell of a thing.”

It looked like it was going to collapse soon.

My heart is pounding. I wonder what happened, why this is happening, or if there's something serious going on.

But most of all,

“... Don't worry. Everything's gonna be fine. Really.”

She said with all her heart. I didn't think of anything to relieve the anxious floor. I wanted to say something cooler and more helpful, but that's all I came up with. Everything else feels unnecessary.

The depressed facial floor takes a deep breath, then smiles comfortably.

“I'm relieved to hear that. ”

The floor is closing in. And I said slowly.

“You can talk to me if you want. ”

“ ……. ”

“If not, that's fine. It's freezing. Be careful in there. And thank you for listening to me today. ”

The floor grabs my hand tightly and turns around. At that moment, she opens her lips unknowingly.

“There's someone I really don't like. She's an actress named Lee Mi-yoon, and I hate her. I just want to run away when I see him. I want to cry, I want to stop everything. But I don't want to. I'm gonna keep going, I'm gonna hold on, and I'm gonna get through this. I'm gonna make him admit it. ”

It was a screaming horse. She sighs a little rough breath and looks up at the floor. The floor that showed his back slowly turned and smiled and said,

“Don't worry. Everything's gonna be okay. Really.”

And...

“If you don't feel right, I'll punish you. That bitch. ”

I waved my hand to the floor.

She glances at the receding floor and runs to him, clenching her fists. Then he grabbed his shoulder, turned the floor and slightly kissed the cold, dry lips.

The floor shook and stepped back.

She turns her head to the sky, exhales and looks up at the floor.

“Don't come any further, I'm warning you. ”

“…… Huh. ”

“And thank you. I'm going!”

“Well, yeah. Go, go, go. ”

She waves her hands coolly at the rattling floor, and then turns away.

The stuffiness that remained in my heart disappeared like a wash.

It's snowing again.

Pearls, it's snowing. White trash from the sky...
