“What happened with Beomgyu yesterday?”
" yes..?! "
Since that incident yesterday, I haven't been able to sleep at all. Whenever I close my eyes, I keep thinking about that situation. Of course, I don't hate it. Quite the opposite.
But for some reason, my face keeps getting red and I feel like I won't be able to look at Beomgyu.
"Beomgyu usually has trouble sleeping on certain days, but he slept well yesterday."
" ah.. "
You did that to me yesterday and you slept well? I didn't even get a wink of sleep last night.
I started to hate Choi Beom-gyu a little. Just a little.
“In many ways, I think it’s fortunate that Beomgyu met Yeoju.”
"Ah.. what do you do on that specific day?"
".. We have a day to meet our guardians once a month"
“If you are a guardian...”
"Yes, Beomgyu's mother."
Since Beomgyu doesn't like adults, I expected his parents wouldn't like him either. But seeing him struggling yesterday, I realized it wasn't just a matter of disliking him.
Because I'm more than just hating them, I'm afraid of them.
“It’s so sad to see you struggling so much, not being able to sleep every month.”
“ … ”
“It breaks my heart to see him treat everyone around him as his enemy and fight alone.”
“Isn’t it possible not to meet?”
“The reason we met is the same reason why Yeoju is here.”
" ah.. "
“Well, it might seem harsh to some people.”
Actually, I had forgotten. I was so absorbed in that child's world that I hadn't even realized reality.
The price I pay for being here, what I have to achieve
After a while,
Knock knock,
"I'm here"
“You came just in time today?”
"Actually, I came early and helped the nurse organize."
“Please come see me before you see the nurse.”
“Hey, are you bored without me?”
"Yeah, really"
" me too "
"From now on, you have to come see me first, okay?"
"Okay. I will definitely do that."
So, I played with Beomgyu and chatted about various things. Before I knew it, the sun had set and the moon was rising.
"It's already this late"
“I really don’t understand why I can’t stand the clock when I’m with you.”
“Phew.. I see.”
“Can’t we just sleep here today?”
" uh..? "
Suddenly, Beomgyu's words brought back memories of yesterday, and my face blushed again without me realizing it. That feeling of bliss, blossoming again, lifted me higher and higher.
“Hey, your face is red.. Are you sick somewhere?”
"Huh? No, it's okay!"
" okay? "
"Oh... Oh right! They said there's a full moon today. Should we go see it?"
“I always like what you say.”
You really keep pulling me into your world. I keep floundering in your world.
So we went to a bench outside the hospital and wandered around looking for the moon.
at that time,
"Uh, over there..."
" ..? wow "
A really big full moon was shining towards us.
“It’s pretty.. It’s really big.”
" I know "
“Do you think it’s bigger than the moon we saw together before? What do you think?”
“Yeah, I think it’s bigger and prettier.”
“You kept your promise to watch it together back then.”
" thank you "
“Hey..what”
“I’m so happy to be with you then and now.”
“ … ”
“It’s prettier and more beautiful than the moon I saw back then.”
“ … ”
It was a full moon night. You, with your truly beautiful appearance, once again took me out of reality. I, captivated by your appearance, held your hand and flew upward again.
Another night where our hands holding each other feel warm.
