I had that long-awaited dream this morning, but this time it was a house. Three people were staring at me, and my head felt like it was going to split open.-My head hurts...what happened?
-It's a story that's better not to tell at all.
-What's going on that's so serious?
-You're saying you almost died?
-What??!!
-You haven't woken up for days, and the three of us are freaking out, but there's nothing we can do... So we came to this house that's still there and checked on you, and you're covered in bruises.
-My body?
-So, do you know how surprised I was?
-No way...I don't remember getting hit by someone...
Then I remembered that I had fallen and been cut while climbing the mountain, and I felt embarrassed.
-Something happened while I was climbing the mountain.
-You didn't meet any barbarians, did you?
-No, that can't be. We were the only people there.
-Then that's good..lol..
While they were talking like that, they decided it was too dangerous and decided to leave. So the four of them simply packed up some of the things they could use and some food and left.
I decided to hurry because it seemed like it was going to be dark soon, but there was so much snow that it was really hard to walk. After walking for a few hours in the cold winter, it was already night.
-Let's rest here for a bit.
-That would be good..
How long did I rest like that? I was woken from my short sleep by the sound of leaves rustling as I stepped on them. I tried using a rock as a shield, but... Hey, that armor isn't our country's armor... It's only for a moment..!!
They are barbarians.
I frantically woke Jaehyun and the rest of the kids. I briefly explained the situation and looked at them. Their faces were pale. Just as I was about to cautiously leave,
Bam.
The kite struck a branch and made a noise. At the sound, the barbarian looked towards us, then looked in the opposite direction with a startled expression and shouted.
-(in Chinese)There are Koreans over there!!!!
When I heard that sound, I instinctively felt it. If we don't jump now, we'll all die. I felt that if I wanted to live, I had to jump right now.
-Hey everyone, if you want to live, run!!!!!!!!!
At those words, everyone ran like crazy. Even when I was representing the relay team at the sports competition, I didn't run this hard. Sweat was pouring down my face, my feet were heavy, and if I ran even a little slower, the sound behind me would get closer.
-Everyone, let's run a little more, a little more...
-Ugh...
Then, the situation became increasingly serious. Arrows flew, and the incomprehensible words grew louder. Then, looking to the side, I saw a barbarian drawing an arrow.
The person trying to match it was Nayoung.
I ran like crazy. When I got next to Nayoung
Shh-
I felt something sharp being stabbed into my back with a short, sharp sound. A hot, red substance flowed out of my back, and I collapsed without the strength to resist.
My body felt as if it were made of stone, motionless. My body became stiff, my breathing became increasingly labored, and I could hardly breathe. The world I was seeing became increasingly blurry.
-Ugh...uh...
-I don't have time for this. Put this on my back quickly!!!
-Yeah!
It was Jaehyun's voice that I could hear clearly in my ears. Ah... I didn't want to show you this side of me... but I ended up showing it anyway... Jaehyun, Nayoung, Yeonah... I'm sorry that I was weak and couldn't protect you and became a burden...
Tears flowed down my cheeks and soaked Jaehyun's back. As I was losing consciousness, I went into a cave.
-Hey Han Dong-min, come to your senses... please...
-ㅋㅎ..Myung Jaehyun..don't worry, it's just a dream..
-What are you talking about, Master?
-Don't cry.. If you cry, I'll be in pain too.. haha..
You wiped your eyes with your sleeve like that, but your eyes turned red and you couldn't even look at me properly. Why are you falling for me, a loser, and crying like an idiot again? Moon Na-young... I'm sorry... haha
-Master... I'm giving you this because you couldn't keep your promise to go see the flowers (sob)
A flower was gently placed in my ear, a white daisy. Knowing the meaning of this flower, I shed even more tears. You must be suffering the same whether you met me in this life or in a past life.
Unfulfilled love, sad memories
You really make things difficult for me until the very end. Are you really worried about leaving me? That's why you have to smile every day. Got it?
-Madam
-…..
-I loved you, I love you, and I will love you even after I die.
-…
In that silence, the cries of my precious and loved ones, who were left behind, filled the circle, and I was the one quietly shedding tears. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you and stay with you until the end. I love you.
