1. Our Last
“..But Jihoon, are you still half-human, half-beast?”
" why? "
“If you are half-human, half-animal… If you and I get married and have a child, won’t that child also be half-human and half-animal?”
“Well… I wonder if this is my genetic makeup… Actually, I don’t remember anything from when I was young.”
“Hmm… if that grandmother is still alive…”
“Grandma? Oh...”
“Will you help me turn back into a human?”
“Why? Do you wish I were human?”
“Well... I don’t mind if it’s not like that, but I still like being human more than being a cat.”
" .. I see "
“But if being half-human and half-beast is your destiny, then it’s okay to stay that way.”
Honestly, I'm a little worried. If I marry Jihoon and have a child, there's a chance that the child will be half-human, half-animal. And if he's half-human, half-animal... he might not get along well with other kids his age.
We watched TV, then went to our rooms and fell asleep. If we really found that person... wouldn't we be able to change Jihoon?
The next day -
Bang -
“..? What does this mean.. “
I heard a loud noise this morning, and I was startled and went downstairs to check. But...
“Oh my, you’re awake? I was going to sneak out...”
“Uh..what is this..no, who are you?.. “
"Time's up. It was fun enough. You guys were crying and hugging each other, and I started crying too."
“Who are you..!!”
"Oh, no... I'm late with the introduction. I can't just give out your name..."
“ ..? “
"I'm the fairy of relationships and the one who brought you together. Nice to meet you."
“Then is that grandmother..?”
"Yeah. That's right."
“Where is Jihoon?”
“The life and light of the child is contained within this bead.”
“What is that..?”
“If a fairy like me speaks to this bead about what he wants, the soul of that thing will enter this child.”
“Don’t do it. Don’t take her with you.”
“I’m sorry, but I told you time is up.”
“Quickly..!! Back in front of my eyes.. “
Tak -
Then the woman who called herself the fairy grabbed my chin and made me look at her. What the...
“Hey, human.”
“ ..? “
"Does what I'm saying sound like a joke? Time is up. A half-human, half-beast like Lee Ji-hoon can no longer exist in this world."
"Why on earth did you send him to me? Then? Why on earth..."
“I guess God wanted to play a joke on the words you prayed for. A trick of fate.”
“..what was the word I prayed for..ㄷ”
((Please give these people a happy ending..))
“God loves to play pranks. That was fate’s prank.”
“ ... “
“God gave humans a gift, but humans have repaid their debt by doing things they shouldn’t have done to God, so God has ample justification for doing so.”
“What’s the gift..?”
"Emotions. But what did humans do with those emotions? They made people miserable, killed them, cursed them. They were all equally ugly and filthy. They didn't even know gratitude, and they acted like that..."
It was truly a twist of fate.
“So now… I can never see Jihoon again?”
“Well… from now on, it’s all God’s domain.”
“ ... “
“But maybe God will grant your wish.”
“ ...? “
"God grants only one wish. For some reason, he grants all the wishes humans make on their birthdays. So don't be too heartbroken. God is good at playing tricks, but he's also good at changing fate."
With those words, the woman disappeared like the wind.
And so, that woman and Jihoon both left. In this world, even in my memories, perhaps the woman who called herself a fairy cast a spell on me. And so, they slowly disappeared. Like clouds that drift sideways, little by little, as time passes.
This was our last.
2. Everything is a first time
“Seokmin, I told you not to trade me for waffles..!!”
“This time… with macarons.. “
“..Do you want to die?! You say that..!”
“Okay.. I’m sorry.”
“Go and do it again. Hurry up!”
Why do you keep trading snacks for work like that? Huh? I told you there are a lot of weird guys out there..
I was so angry because of Seokmin that I went up to the roof of our company building to cool my head, and there I saw two familiar faces.
“..? Choi Seung-cheol? Kim Min-gyu? Why are you two here?”
“Ah.. just”
" .. hey "
" why? "
" uh? "
“Are you slacking off during work hours? These guys are really… I want to die!! Hurry up and get down to work!!”
“Oh my... I got caught.”
“Let’s go..!!”
Bang -
“Ha..those things really...”
When did you become close? You're really close friends? You even slacking off during work hours? Oh really... You just...
“But…what makes me feel so empty these days?”
I feel empty inside for some reason. It feels like there's nothing inside? I think it's always been like this, but why does it feel worse? It's like there was something inside me. It's always been empty.
When the cold wind blows past me, my heart aches. I wish the air next to me would become colder and someone would call my name and smile. Warmly.
“Ha.. Seriously, why have you been like this since last time.. “
Gulp -
Seriously, things are so weird these days. I cry even when nothing's happening, and I can't hold it back. I used to be pretty good at holding back tears... This is so weird.
Eventually, I came down because I felt like I'd cry more if I stayed any longer, and Secretary Lee was looking for me in a hurry. What's going on...?
“Ha..CEO! Where have you been..!!”
" why? "
“Today is the interview day for those who passed the first round of document screening!”
“Oh, I see. Sorry. Let’s go quickly.”
So, I went back to my busy daily life and entered the interview room with the mindset of a representative.
“.. Then shall we begin the interview?”
People came in and out one by one, and there wasn't anyone I liked yet. Why are they all the same? Did they set it up or something?
“Ha.. I’ve seen everyone, but there’s no one I particularly like.”
“What should I do..?”
at that time -
Squeak -
“I’m sorry..! Is it over?”
“Yes. Time has already passed..ㅅ”
“Huh? Why are you like that..?”
Gulp -
Seriously... why am I doing this? Why do I cry when I see that person? My heart is so full of emotion, and I wonder what on earth is that person.
“Oh.. no. Please sit down.”
“D..CEO?”
"Anyway, there's no one I like yet. Okay, let's start the interview."
" yes! "
Clearly, his qualifications were inferior to those of the people I'd interviewed before. But for some reason, every time he spoke, my heart resonated.
But... why are your face and voice so low?
at that time -
((I guess the magic was really applied? Since you don't remember...))
“Who is it?”
“Huh? “
“Who the hell is it?”
Thump -
“D..CEO”
“Why do you keep making me cry? What kind of person are you to me?”
The same voice I heard earlier was heard again.
((Remember, it is a gift and destiny given to you by God))
“Sir, are you okay?”
((Juing? Haha nice to meet you!))
“..What is this? Why is there a voice I don’t even remember..?”
((Yeoju! I missed you!))
“ .. what the heck “
((Should I just cover it up..))
" you.. "
((Yeah. It's yours, Yeoju. Happy birthday, sincerely))
“Who are you... to me?”
((Yeoju! I love you~ hehe))
Why did you disappear from my memory, or were you obscured by clouds? Now I remember. You gave me dreams of happiness, and you enveloped me in a warm cloud.
“Lee Ji-hoon.. “
((You finally remembered? As expected.. I guess nothing can go against fate..ㅎ Now that your wish has been granted..))
“What is that all of a sudden..?”
((I hope you dream of happiness like your wish, and have a happy ending))
Swoosh -
“ ..!! “
I looked around and saw a small flower lying there, a flower with beautiful colors. This...
“It’s Marigold.. “
The flower language of marigold is... happiness that will surely come.
3. Everything in Happiness
5 years later -
“Hey.. Are you really getting married?”
"That's right. I guess fate really is unavoidable."
“Huh.. Is this person my destiny?”
"Yeah. It's my destiny, God has decided."
at that time -
“Sir, we’re here!”
“Bu Seok-soon! Hey, welcome!”
“Wow… Isn’t the CEO so pretty? I always knew you were pretty, but…”
“This kid... is he going to seduce the bride on the wedding day?”
“No, really? It’s because you’re really pretty...”
“Well...you are really pretty!”
“Heh.. thank you.”
“What about the groom?”
“Well? I can’t see it.. “
"Hey..! Time's up. We have to go in now."
“Is that so? See you later!”
"Okay! Choi Seung-cheol, you too, go now."
“Okay..got it.”
After a while -
“Father, you may now enter.”
" yes~ "
So the wedding ceremony began, and the door opened with the sound of the bride entering.
“Hey! Live well!!!”
“Oh my goshㅜㅜㅜ CEO..!!ㅜㅜ Please don’t goㅜㅜ”
“Ah.. Lee Seok-min, really.. “
“Sister!! I’ll use the new house well too!!!”
“Kim Yeo-ju!! You are the prettiest today!!”
“.. haha really”
So I went to the middle of the wedding hall, and there, waiting for me, was my happiness and destiny, dressed in a stylish tuxedo.
“It really feels like a dream.. I’m getting married to the female lead like this.”
" me too. "
The wedding ceremony proceeded like that, one by one, and it really felt like a dream.
The bell rang with the priest's final words, along with the fluttering flower petals.
“Thank you for giving me this happy ending. Really.”
“ Heh.. Me too “
" and.. "
“ ..? “
“I love you, Master, with all my heart.”
“ ..!! “
With those words, Lee Ji-hoon kissed me and kissed me slowly and softly. God was very angry at humans who played with his emotions, but he could not completely punish them.
Because... there was a destiny between humans, and in that destiny, there was love, a precious and beautiful emotion that could not be ignored or punished.
Everything in happiness was fate and love, and it was the only way for humans to live happily, permitted by God.
Lee Ji-hoon made me dream about them and took me to a place called happiness. Like the main character in a movie.
