Life, Once Again!

Jiyun barely held her breath. Looking at the murky exhaling floor, I felt good to be back. After practice, it was time to break up with my assistant in front of the school gate. Unlike what I said, the man who asked me to go was looking behind my back. Ji Yun stopped walking and asked what happened.

“The floor has been practicing by itself lately. I want to help, but there's nothing I can do to help. ”

“Mr. Floor, is it because of practice that you haven't been with us lately? ”

The colony nods. Ji Yun looked up at the 5th floor of the school. The extinguished auditorium fire is back on. The crowd and the floor. I knew they weren't just friends. The sigh of the masses that they cannot help the floor is never exaggerated. After a moment of deliberation, Ji Yun carefully grasped the hand of the other person. My skin still trembles when I touch it, but I can catch it. Great progress. I led a dreamy colony down the stairs.

“There's nothing I can do about it, but if the audience is there for you, then surely the floor leader will be empowered, too? ”

I said it out of courage. Ji Yun didn't want to see the group smiling helplessly. I wish I could ease his conscience perfectly, but there was no wit like this. All I can do is lead the crowd who was staring at the school as if it were a waste. As he walked a little later through the second floor, he led his hand forward. It was a fair walk and Ji-yoon was able to smile with peace of mind. Soon after arriving, the auditorium was smoking its way through the slanted open door.

From that moment until the end of the smoke, Ji Yun watched the smoke on the floor, saving even the admirable energy. It was a floor that ran backwards like a man. Ji Yun waves slightly, holding the hand of the other person. Now was our chance to get in.

* * *

“Why are you here? ”

The floor sees a couple coming in through the hall door. They said they looked alike, and they smiled beautifully.

“I was on my way there. ”

“I'll take you to Jiyun. I'm late.”

“I said, let's go. I'm sorry."

Ji-yoon said with her eyes down. The floor frowns.

“Nothing to be sorry about. The student wants to come to school. But did you just get here? ”

“No. I watched at the door. ”

“Come in if you're here. ”

“Well, I can't intervene. I just felt like I shouldn't have opened the door. ”

“You care about everything, too. How long have you been there?”

“About 20 minutes? ”

“20 minutes? Hey, did Ji-yoon put you on the cold floor? ”

As he stretched his neck as thick as a bear, he stared blankly at the sky, flinching as if he had been stung by a bee and grabbed the air with his bare hands.

“Hey, Ji-yoon. I didn't care. ”

“It's okay. I sat on the bag instead of the seat, and it wasn't cold at all. ”

“So I should have figured it out first. ”

“I'm not. Are you okay with that? You've been sitting there all day. ”

“I was a little upset, but I'm okay now. ”

“Thank goodness.”

The floor watched the couple smile brightly and picked up a mop that was spread out. Two people checking each other's affections stab the elongated handle in between. I'm not in a relationship.

“If you're here for the salting, go. It's just a sack of salt. You want me to get a stomachache? ”

“It's not like that. ”

“Just fix the smiley face and say it. ”

I put the mop on the wall. The cleaning tools and tools that were rolling on the floor were also moved into place. He also helped the people and Ji-yoon who were watching.

“I want to show it to my kids. ”

They put the broom in the cleaning box.

“What?”

“The way you practice. ”

The floor is silently placed in the window frame after a loud turn of the mop you were holding. This concludes the cleanup.

“I can't show you anything. You're glowing alone. ”

Practice is the sequential release of what was promised. No spontaneous action, no instinctive dialogue. Re-checking the sum we had so far, building the tower of completion, that was the practice. I couldn't call it practice to wrestle the mysterious man on my own.

“I was impressed. ”

The words that came through the earholes of my ears tickled the hair of shame without any reason. The floor stares at you. Does this chubby friend not know that what he said makes people mute, shy, and the fever on their face makes them sweat? I looked at Jiyun with my eyes. It was looking for a comrade to be ashamed of. She looks at the crowd with her eyes wide open. It was a term called click-clicking. The floor shuffles once and opens its mouth.

“This is not the time to be impressed. You see how the chickens are rising? ”

“Why? I'm impressed. That was the best acting I've ever seen. ”

“Say it one more time and I'll shut it myself. Give me a cotton ball. It's better that way. ”

It was great mental torture to put the word "emotion" on the scene that was running around screaming like a grass. Every time I heard it, I felt so fluffy that I wanted to run away with shame. The memory of rebirth overwritten by the temperamental personality has created a twisted personality that cannot be taken as a compliment. I knew that there were no malicious intent, glances, or ridicule, but the gaze of the other person watching the hero cartoon like a child was pure malice, naive gaze, and clear ridicule. Along with Ji Yun, who fights side-by-side, his heart can feel the shame of Ogre. At this time, I really wanted to become a high school student. I used to feel a disturbance between my body and mind in this kind of poetry.

“It's just a show I put on. There's nothing to show the kids. ”

“I think it's fine. ”

“I'm not okay. When we're done here, let's go. ”

“Are we interrupting? ”

“No, I was just on my way. The guard will notice if you're late. ”

I dragged the two who were in the well out. On the way out, I told him it was over after knocking on the guard room door. The guard raises his weary eyelid and gestures to go.

“Next time, don't practice alone. Let's do it together. ”

“It's not a drill. Ji-yoon, hurry up and take your boyfriend. ”

After sending the two of you, the floor slowly pedaled on the bike. It was a small day of progress. He doesn't budge like a hammer. He can't lift his butt, so he approaches the stage and snorts. Maybe if I had just squeezed a little more, I would have jumped onstage. At the last moment of the tug-of-war, a man and Ji-yoon appeared and had to fold the smoke, but there was no regret. It felt good to think that sighing might have made him hurry. Negotiation is a poor way to prepare a table. If he gently moves a fishing line caught in smoke, he will have no choice but to break the silence. You have to react when it reacts. Until yesterday, silence was his tactical weapon, but not today.

Don't underestimate the old man. The battle against him has now entered the White Bottle. Victory and defeat is imminent.

Fall looked in the mirror. Every time I wash, there is a face in it. Clear eyes, quite confident nostrils, lips that need a little bit more plumping. I can boast that I have seen more than anyone else, but nowadays, this looks a little strange.

“What kind of magic did you cast? ”

When the dog smiled and spoke, the autumn speech was blocked. I knew it was a complimentary tone, but the word magic became wet cotton and blocked my throat. I raised my finger and stroked my face in the mirror. After talking to her, the bunny, who lives inside, her performance improved. It was something to be happy about, but it felt more embarrassing than joy. If I woke up and lost 10 kilos of weight, it was more like worrying about me than liking it. It was what I had hoped for, but it was so easy and easy to get into my hands. I kept thinking that it was the result of a mysterious encounter, not the price of the effort I had made.

“If I make enough money to move, I'll put two air conditioners on my house, maybe a generation. That's why you catch a cold in the summer. Just think about it. ”

Jiwon, lying in the back, said. It was a desire to become one with the floor after a break. I was quite envious of his innate indifference and courage to roll around, regardless of whether he had a dog or not.

“Do you think my acting is better? ”

I asked with a light tune. I worked hard to get rid of the anxiety about the smoke rising so easily.

“Don't ask me that. Because I don't know. ”

“But you have to feel something. Just tell me a little bit about it. ”

“You've been a little restless lately. Like a dog who shits. ”

“Brother!”

Hae-won next to him tapped Hee-won's shoulder and said.

“Sis, don't mind what your brother says. I couldn't sleep because it was hot yesterday, and I got nervous. ”

“No. It was wrong of me to ask. ”

“You know, I don't know acting very well, but I can tell you've got a lot of time on your hands. It's easier to see. It's natural. ”

“Thank you.”

Autumn sat in a chair. I close my eyes and talk to her on the inside. She said she wouldn't answer, but she greeted me with a grumpy face if I kept knocking on the door.

- Why else?

The rabbit in the center of the stage said:

- Is it that easy to get?

- That's what you wanted.

- But I feel like a fraud.

- So you want me to take it back?

Fall was unable to answer kindly. The rabbit always looked at the watch he was carrying, then the horse.

- This is the last time.

- Yes?

- It's goodbye, but don't worry. The smoke will steadily improve.

- We're never gonna see each other again?

- No, you will someday. By then, we'll be able to share what we couldn't. There's only one thing I want to say. You are too... ….

I couldn't hear you behind me. The rabbit disappeared on the way.

“It's an autumn. Why don't you get up? ”

Autumn opened its eyes to the voice I heard earlier. The dog was staring at me. I woke up from my seat, shaking my head. The vision of the empty stage that remained in front of you vanishes, and the practice room where Jiwon lies forms in the retina.

“I know it's been a long summer, but work hard. It'll be harder in August, but you can't get rusty already. Lee Hee-won, you come with some washing up water. Wash that frown off your face. ”

Autumn breathes small. The energy of the rabbit inside disappeared completely. I wonder what he was going to say before he disappeared. I remembered the rabbit that had been erased in front of my eyes. Her round, red eyes, which were always angry, looked different a little while ago. The look comes back when I tell my friends I don't have a father. A touch of emotion that will never become familiar. That was compassion.

* * *

- I've never done this before. I can't believe I'm seeing this.

Should I be surprised or glad to see you. The floor sees the man in front of it and decides to try both. A masked man who had a dream about who he was, all mysterious inside. A man in a rustic mask, a blend of white and black, leads you to a chair centered on the stage.

- I've never been this courteous to a man. Well, you know what?

The floor sat down and said. It was a new experience. I could feel the closed body twitching. It's not a perfect disconnect from the body, but you can still feel the sensation of the body at this moment. I didn't think I could feel the external senses because of the emotional world, but my predictions were always wrong.

- Remember me?

The masked man asked. The floor nods.

- I've never seen you in a dream before. Smokey freak. Blah, blah. Been a long time? A year? Two years?

You think it's been a long time?

- So when have you seen him lately?

- No, I guess I was mistaken. So what do you think?

It's amazing that there's someone else inside of me.

- Aren't you worried about the initial symptoms of mental illness?

- Dead and alive. Even if the ants talk, it's a reliable plate, about this much. Is this a gift from the god himself, too?

- Well, maybe, maybe not.

The floor strokes its chin. I can feel the beard.I can feel the fluffy hair on my hands. The bloodline protrudes as though it were piercing a tough fleshly skin, and the fingertips are loosened. The hand of a bus driver before he died. I wish I had a mirror. When I thought about it, I talked to the man. There was something that the man said.

- But seeing that this is the first time, is there another situation like this?

The floor asked.

Let's pray the weather department breaks down tomorrow.

It could be raining.
