It's a gentle voice. Just hearing it warms my heart...
Her name is Ji-eun, and as the eldest child of a poor family, she must not be happy about having to take care of her younger siblings.
“Should we practice walking with our Jiyeon?”
She didn't have the money to buy books or the means to send her to school. Her parents, who had been her only source of comfort, had long since moved away to find work, and her father...
“...Tomorrow is also the anniversary of my father’s death. Do you know that?”
"Ugh...hehe"
Jiyeon (Ji-eun's younger sister) smiled brightly, as if she knew nothing about it. Ji-eun's eyes were warm as she watched Ji-yeon, who had just begun to babble.
“Oh, you’re so cute. Who do you think you look like to be so pretty?”
Jiyeon, who understands what he is saying, lets out another pure laugh as if to say, "Kkareuk."
The one and only last laughter that echoes through this place.
“How nice it would be if every day were this peaceful... If only every day were happy.”
Just thinking about it fills my heart. Those who should realize how fortunate they are to be able to be happy every day don't.
But I think I forgot something...what could it be?
Ji-eun suddenly came to her senses and ran quickly to the forest entrance. Her breathing became ragged and labored, but she didn't care.
“Jiyeon, haa...Jiyeon!!!”
"Ugh!"
"I'm sorry, Jiyeon... I'm sorry. I'm here. It's okay now..."
Jiyeon, who is held in Ji-eun's arms, smiles again.
“What do you like so much? You can’t even eat properly.”
...Jiyeon, who didn't hear those words, was already fast asleep.
“Really, I wonder how babies can change their condition so frequently.”
Even though she said that, Ji-eun, who loved her younger sister more than anyone else, walked home carefully so as not to wake Ji-yeon.
“Good night. When you wake up, your mom will be here.”
I procrastinate until the very end and finally fall asleep late at night.
* * *
“Hey, Ji-eun. Are you sleeping?”
"Um, who... Mom?"
“Yeah. I missed you, Ji-eun.”
"Ugh... I, I... how much..."
“I’m sorry I was born into such a poor family.”
“No, absolutely not. It’s not your fault, Mom.”
"...thank you."
The way my mother smiled at Ji-eun after saying that... or rather, the way she raised the corners of her mouth looked just like Ji-eun.
“Look at my mind. Ji-eun, do you know where Ji-yeon is?”
"Ah... Jiyeon will be sleeping over there. But..."
The author's trailing words seemed a bit suspicious.
“What happened?”
"That...that"
After hesitating for a while, Ji-eun glanced at the direction where Ji-yeon was sleeping and continued speaking.
"There's nothing to eat... Jiyeon eats well..."
"what?"
"I was supposed to wake up at this time..."
As she spoke, Ji-eun seemed somewhat anxious and nervous. She must have been so nervous that she relapsed into the habit of biting her nails, which she had thought she had long since abandoned.
“Jiyeon, it’s morning now, should I wake up?”
Originally, Jiyeon would wake up whining when I said this...
“Mom is here too. Let’s get up quickly and say hello.”
It was strange. Was this child always this sleepy? A feeling of anxiety crept up from my chest and consumed the entire house.
Ji-eun couldn't wait any longer so she turned around and made Ji-yeon, who was sleeping, lie down.
“Jiyeon? Mom is here. Open your eyes quickly. Mom needs to see you too.”
"......"
There's no answer. The bright, smiling, and happy child is somehow quiet today.
Kkeut
No, I just wrote whatever came to mind, so I don't even know what I wroteㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Information⤵️
(Refer to the description of the work) Have you ever seen the painting called ?
It's a very peaceful looking picture.
This is a work that I found very impressive.
Okay, let's get the introduction out of the way. If you look at the picture, you'll see that some people might notice a basket.
What's inside is a potato!
You can think of this article as a bit of sarcasm lol
'If you X-ray this picture, you'll see a box with a baby's body in that potato basket.'
There are still people who claim this...
I can't say for sure that it's not a fact! That would be something only Mille could do.
It's just a picture of him praying while working in the field!
