"My name is... Jung Ho-seok."
The child of the forest smiled when he heard the name.
And then the two continued walking side by side.
Then, Ho-seok asked the forest child's name because he was curious about it.
"What's your name?"
"Me...? I don't have a name."
Ho-seok was embarrassed when he heard the forest child's words.
"Huh? How can there not be a name?"
"Yeah, I'm not here."
Ho-seok tilted his head and asked again.
"Then what do people call you?"
"Child of the Forest."
And then I walked quietly through the forest again.
As I walked and walked, the child of the forest noticed.
Every time they walk, the colors of the trees and grass next to them disappear.
The child of the forest spoke with tears welling up in his eyes.
"Hey, now the colors of the trees and grass are disappearing because of you."
"I told you I wasn't doing it on purpose!"
"If you walk around like this, what's wrong with you?"
In the end, the child of the forest and Ho-seok ended up fighting.
Hearing that sound, the people around surround the child of the forest and Ho-seok.
Then the child of the forest looked around in confusion.
Hoseok must have seen the child of the forest panicking, so he grabbed the child of the forest's wrist and ran off somewhere.
The child of the forest spoke to Ho-seok, but there was no answer.
Knowing that, the child of the forest just ran while looking at the back of Hoseok's head.
And the place we arrived at was a house in a quiet village.
That house was different from other houses.
Well, other houses were colorful, but that house wasn't.
The child of the forest who saw it immediately recognized it.
That's Ho-seok's house.
When I entered the house, the walls, the floor, and even the water appeared black and white.
"What is all this...?"
"Well, the house changed because of me."
"My parents ran away after seeing this, saying they didn't like seeing me lose my color."
Ho-seok's mouth was smiling, but his eyes were dark.
They had dark, deep, sad eyes.
The child of the forest avoided looking into Ho-seok's eyes because he felt like he would start crying if he continued to look into his eyes.
As the silence flowed like that, Ho-seok spoke to the child of the forest.
"You said you didn't have a name."
"Yeah, why?"
"I'll give you a name, a very pretty name."
"Um... , yeah!"
When Ho-seok said he would give it a name, the child of the forest readily accepted and smiled.
The smile of the child of the forest was a truly beautiful smile.
Hoseok also saw the forest child's laughter and laughed along with him.
And then a few hours passed.
Hoseok snapped his fingers as if he remembered a pretty name and spoke with a bright face.
"Yuah! How are you, Yuah?"
"Uh...ah? What does that mean?"
"A child of the forest shining like glass! Yua for short! How about it?"
"Good! Yua···, Yua···."
The child of the forest, or rather the infant, kept repeating his name.
The toddler smiled and got up to hug Hoseok, as if she liked the name.
