From that day on, after I finished caring for Kang Tae-hyun, I would go to Beom-gyu and talk with him in the lobby. By the time I finished caring for Kang Tae-hyun, Beom-gyu's mother was also asleep.
The two of us were able to meet.
“How was your day?”
"After about a month, I got used to it. It was kind of strange."
“There is a reason why they say that humans are creatures of adaptation.”
"How were you?"
"Honestly, it was really hard for me at first, too. I just... didn't even know why I needed to be a nurse."
” … “
"But that's just how people are, they have feelings that can't be helped."
“ … ”
“No matter how much I hate you, I can’t hate you like I hate others.”
“..Maybe I should do that too?”
“You will too, I guarantee it.”
“Why?”
" you.. "
“ ..? ”
“It’s not that I have such a sad heart that I can easily hate people.”
“ … ”
“So you can make me happy”
“ … ”
“It is certain that because you had happiness, you were able to share that happiness with me, who did not have it before.”
“ … ”
Then how can you, who didn't have it, give me happiness? Maybe you're really a fairy who came to me
The fairy godmother who visited Cinderella in the magic room also gave her happiness. Are you one of those beings?
This moment of meeting you makes my heart flutter. As if by magic, with a heart that is white and soft.
“I guess I should go now. I hope you wake up by then.”
" .. excuse me "
" huh? "
“When will your mother be discharged from the hospital?”
” … “
I was curious, but I tried not to ask. Getting closer to discharge meant it wouldn't be long before I had to go back there again.
"I think it's been about a month since you said that."
" .. that's right "
“When are you going?”
“3 days later.”
I was a bit flustered by the tighter-than-expected timeline. We could be together if we got there, but Beomgyu would have to stay there. I wanted to spend the remaining time in a new way.
“Then shall we just play for one day tomorrow?”
" uh? "
"Let's go to the amusement park we couldn't go to last time. This time, for real."
“ … ”
“Date, let’s go on a date too.”
“I like anything when I’m with you.”
"Okay, see you tomorrow!"
So, Beomgyu went to the hospital room, and I went home. To prepare for tomorrow's date.
The next day,
“When will it come out...”
I contacted Kang Tae-hyun to say I would be absent for a day due to schoolwork. Beom-gyu also told his mother that he had work there all day.
I just want today to be a perfect date.
I was so excited that I couldn't even sleep, so I left about 20 minutes earlier than the appointed time and waited for Beomgyu at the bus stop.
at that time,
“Hey lady!”
” ..? “
Swish,
” ..!! “
“I should have come out a little earlier, I should have known I’d be waiting like this.”
"Huh? Oh... no! I just got out too."
" okay? "
"Yeah, yeah! Let's go play quickly."
So we headed to the amusement park together.
“Where should we start?”
“I want to go on safari first.”
"Then let's go to safari, eat, and ride the rides."
We first went to the Safari Zone and there were a lot more different types of animals than when we had been there before.
First of all, the first animal he saw was a tiger, and Beomgyu was staring at the tiger in the cage with curious eyes.
Then the zookeeper threw food to the tiger, and the tiger quickly jumped up and grabbed the food.
" wow.. "
” … “
"Tigers seem to have really strong legs."
“ … ”
Beomgyu seemed to be listening to what I was saying, but he was focused on the tiger and didn't respond or react in any way.
We just stared at the tiger inside us.
In the end, I just grabbed Beomgyu's sleeve and dragged him around.
After looking around the safari for a while, we headed to the food court to eat.
“What do you want to eat?”
"Um.. I like that"
"Then I will"
So I ordered food and sat down at the window seat.
“You were really focused on Safari earlier?”
"Yeah, it was so amazing"
"I feel like it was worth bringing you."
"I really feel like I'm going to be so happy today"
After a while,
Jiying,
"Oh, I guess it came out"
"I'll go and come back"
So Beomgyu went to get the food and I was looking at my phone and deciding which ride to ride first.
But strangely, Beomgyu didn't come even after 5 minutes, so I was worried and headed to the place where I could get food.
Did you spill food?
Swish,
” ..? “
"Ah.. that"
"You're so my style."
There was Beomgyu, holding a tray and not knowing what to do, and next to him was a woman holding Beomgyu's arm.
Beomgyu was at a loss, unable to shake the woman off. Kindness can be a poison in times like these.
In the end, I stepped forward. No, I was just feeling a little uneasy, so my body went forward before my head.
widely,
"Why aren't you here? I'm hungry."
"Ah, that..."
" who are you? "
“Who are you to be holding my boyfriend’s arm?”
Well, we haven't talked about dating yet, but honestly, Beomgyu and I are not just friends, we like each other, so we're dating.
There was an inexplicable spark between that woman and me, and I had no intention of losing this fight. Not even if I die.
"Oh, are you my girlfriend?"
“As you can see, my boyfriend is really handsome. But he’s already my boyfriend.”
“ … ”
“Please let go of my arm and go on your way.”
So I led Beomgyu back to our seats. The woman kept glancing at us, as if checking if what I said was a lie.
“I’m sorry.. No matter how many times I refuse, you keep doing that.”
“It’s okay, I’m not mad at you.”
" then..? "
"Of course I'm mad at that woman. Why do you keep clinging to someone you don't like?"
“ … ”
“It’s okay because that’s what happened earlier.”
“ … ”
“Being with you like this makes me happy again.”
Still, Beomgyu felt sorry and continued to check my mood. Today, Beomgyu came to have fun, but I felt a little bad because he kept checking my mood.
After we finished eating, we went for a ride. I tried to act more excited and cheerful so that Beomgyu wouldn't notice me.
After we finished riding all the rides, the sky had already darkened and we headed towards the Ferris wheel to watch the fireworks.
"Finally, I see the fireworks"
"This is what I'm most looking forward to"
" me too "
at that time,
pop,
Yellow sparks rose across the clouds in the sky, and a popping sound signaled the start of the fireworks display.
“Look at that!”
“Wow.. I’m seeing that for the first time.”
“Wow, so pretty.. crazy.”
“Do you like it that much?”
" of course!! "
The fireworks, which burst into the shape of a red rose, turned white, yellow, and blue, as if painting on a white canvas.
The fireworks and white clouds created beautiful pictures, and I was so absorbed in them that I couldn't come to my senses.
"How was it? I'm glad I came, right?"
"Yeah. I love it."
Beomgyu's face looked so happy, and it made me feel good too. Beomgyu is definitely the kind of person who can make others feel good just by looking happy.
“It’s really pretty..”
" .. I know "
“When I was young, my dream was to sleep soundly on that cloud.”
” … “
“My wish was to sleep soundly, bathed in warm sunlight from those soft, white clouds.”
“I wanted to ride that cloud and fly freely across the sky.”
” … “
“Because clouds can go to the sea, to the mountains, and anywhere.”
” … “
“It’s not a cloud, but I still feel like I’m in the sky.”
” … “
"It's better with you"
” … “
“This will probably be the last time”
For some reason, I felt sorry for Beomgyu, who spoke as if today was his last day. I didn't want to think that way, but I kept thinking that way too.
"Not the last"
" uh..? "
He deliberately said the opposite of what I thought. He might have said things to me.
“With me you can always fly, you can go anywhere”
” … “
“It’ll be nice if you’re with me.”
With you, I can fly anytime, anywhere. And since I'll be with you, the journey will be a delight.
“So, come with me there and stay with me wherever I go.”
” … “
"I can make you happy, just like you're sure."
” … “
“Like that cloud, I’ll take you where you want to go.”
As a child, the girl's dream was to sleep soundly on a cloud. She awoke in anticipation of the warm sunlight.
The boy's current wish was to travel on a cloud, traveling to any place he wanted, in pursuit of happiness. He looked forward to those moments with the girl who made him happy.
The boy and girl, who could only be each other's clouds, loved each other, like a red rose drawn on a white canvas.
