Surprisingly, this is all true. Don't you believe me, Peter?
"Peter!! Peter!!!!! "
Beomgyu desperately looked for Yeonjun in a voice that was as urgent as the world.
“What’s going on???”
Beomgyu looked around quickly, then cleared his throat and asked Yeonjun.
“Peter, do you know the legend of Peter Pan?”
"Huh? Is that a rumor about me?"
Beomgyu shook his head after hearing Yeonjun's words. Yeonjun approached Beomgyu and asked him a question secretly.
"So? Is this a story about Peter Pans of all time?"
At Yeonjun's words, Beomgyu only then shook his head vigorously.
"Yeah!! That's right!!! You're with Tinkerbell. Have you heard anything from Tinkerbell?"
When Yeonjun shook his head from side to side, Beomgyu's expression turned pale. Perhaps he wanted to know whether the legend was true or false.
"Oh, listen up, Peter. These are stories about Peter Pans from all over the years... The reason Peter Pans disappeared all these years is because of love!"
" love? "
"Yes! Love! That incredible feeling the book talks about. Peter Pan and Tinkerbell stole Tinkerbell's dust little by little and went out of Neverland. There, they met a woman named Wendy and fell in love."
"Wendy..."
Yeonjun kept mumbling the name Wendy. Beomgyu glanced at Yeonjun, then tapped him and said.
“Surprisingly, this is all true. Don’t you believe me, Peter?”
“No… I trust you, Beomgyu. But Tinkerbell never said anything like that to me… Should I ask Tinkerbell?”
“Think about it, Peter, if you were going to ask Tinkerbell and she were going to tell you about the legend, she would have told you about it before I heard about it.”
"I see..."
Yeonjun was half-convinced by Beomgyu's words. In fact, from the very beginning, or rather from the moment he heard the name [Wendy], Yeonjun was overcome with a desire to find his Wendy.
Beomgyu felt that if he could just coax Yeonjun a little more, he would be able to find out whether the legend was true or not.
"So, Peter... why don't we... go outside?"
"What? Then you need Tinkerbell?"
“Even if Tinkerbell isn’t around, you can just borrow some fairy dust for a little while.”
“Us...the two of us?”
Beomgyu shook his head and said.
“No, I’m going to gather more friends.”
Yeonjun looked towards Tinkerbell's house with a worried expression.
“I want to ask Tinkerbell first. She might tell me. And the door leading outside was closed yesterday. I’ll have to wait four days...”
“Okay, Peter, I’ll wait for your call.”
Beomgyu nodded and waved at Yeonjun. Yeonjun waved back at Beomgyu until Beomgyu was out of sight.
"Tinkerbell! Tinkerbell!! "
Yeonjun started looking for Tinkerbell in a hurry. After calling for a while, she didn't respond, and Yeonjun began to feel increasingly anxious.
“No way… Tinkerbell again…”
Yeonjun tried to quickly leave Tinkerbell's house to find her, but his legs gave out and he collapsed on the spot. His hands were shaking, his head was turning white, and he didn't know what to do.
I had seen Tinkerbell's death countless times, but it was unfamiliar to see her die.
"Tea, Tinkerbell!!! "
Yeonjun, who had just woken up, stumbled and opened the door. Tinkerbell was standing in front of him.
“Choi Yeonjun? What... Where does it hurt? Look at the cold sweat…”
As soon as Yeonjun saw me, he hugged me so tightly that I felt like I was going to break. The fairy dust I was holding fell to the ground. With my hands free, I patted Yeonjun and tried to comfort him.
“Yeah, yeah, did you have a really scary dream?”
“Tinkerbell... I get scared every time you disappear from my sight. I’m afraid you’ll never appear in front of me again.”
“...Don’t worry. I don’t plan on doing it for the time being.”
Yeonjun, who heard what I said, smiled brightly and said.
"Really? Ha... That's a relief."
I sighed and picked up the ingredients one by one. Yeonjun saw me picking up the ingredients and followed suit.
“Haha… I guess I won’t have to worry for a while. Oh, can I just leave the materials on the workbench?”
“I was really short on help. I’d appreciate it if you could do that. Taehyun, and you too, I hear a lot about helping out these days, right?”
''Is this Taehyun?''
"Yeah! He wanted to help me out yesterday. That's a good thing, since I was short on hands. He'll be home later, so do you two want to hang out for a bit?"
'' great! ''
Yeonjun even took the ingredients I had in my hands and placed them neatly on the worktop. I smiled and headed to the kitchen.
“Should I give you the sweet hot chocolate I drink every day?”
" yes!! "
I started making Yeonjun's favorite cocoa, and Soobin sat at the table and waited for me.
''What brings you here?''
'' Oh, just.... ''
I put the cocoa down in front of Yeonjun, who was hesitating and unable to answer.
"I... Tinkerbell..."
" huh? "
“I have a question.”
" say it. "
“Is the legend of Peter Pan true?”
" what...? "
Something I didn't want to hear came out of Yeonjun's mouth. The legend of Peter Pan. How could I ever forget that?
''Is that Choi Soo-bin?''
“Huh? Oh, no… Beomgyu… Beomgyu told me.”
''Beomgyu?''
"Yes, Beomgyu. Tinkerbell tells everyone to get along well, but it seems like Subin doesn't like it very much."
'' ... I have no right to tell you not to play with Subin, but I wish you wouldn't be close to her.''
After I finished speaking, a moment of silence fell. Then I heard sobbing, and I looked up at Yeonjun with concern. Peter was crying.
"Is the legend true? That is... that every Peter Pan has a Wendy. Tell me, Tinkerbell, do I really have a Wendy?"
