"How on earth did you get here..?"
"That's a long story, so I'll tell you later."
Choi Beom-gyu, whom I hadn't seen in a long time, seemed more mature. His voice had become calmer, and his hair had grown quite long. Did time pass more quickly there?
So I headed home with Beomgyu, and sure enough, Choi Beomgyu wasn't home. How on earth did he even get to Switzerland?
“Would you like something to drink?”
"No, it's okay."
".. Then it's a snack..ㄷ "
"It's really okay."
“ ..!! ”
It's clearly the same Choi Beom-gyu, but it doesn't feel like Choi Beom-gyu. Could it be that those two years have made him so inferior?
It felt like he was constantly drawing lines for me.
But I thought it was just my imagination. Yeah, it definitely had to be my imagination.. There's no way Beomgyu would draw a line with me.
“How on earth did you get here… No, why did you go there that day?”
"I told you I'd go that day."
"But still... your spaceship broke down too."
” ..!! “
It's a lie. Right now, he's telling me only lies with the intention of lying to me. That makes it even more obvious.
"If you're going to lie, do it with some sincerity."
".. I can't fool you after all"
“What the heck...”
“My dad came to pick me up. That very day.”
“Why all of a sudden…? My father kicked me out of our house.”
" .. in fact "
The story I heard was roughly this: Choi Beom-gyu had a huge fight with his father over coming down to Earth to meet me, and instead of being kicked out, he ran away.
Then, he was kicked out of his house and was wandering the streets when he was suddenly caught by his father's servants and forced to return to his own planet.
And I was trapped there, unable to get out or escape, and now I'm finally escaping again.
“So… do I have to go back again someday?”
“That’s right. Even if I keep running away like this, Dad will definitely catch me.”
“ … ”
I was upset. Those two years were so hard, and now I'm so happy that we're reunited... But it can't last forever.
Did I originally like the word forever like this... or
" ? What's on my face?"
" .. no. Just "
Did you tell me this too?
“Then how did you come to Switzerland?”
“Rather than saying I came here looking for Switzerland...”
“ ..? ”
“I came here to find you.”
“ ..!! ”
Heart pounding,
Heart pounding,
I've heard that you came to find me before.Why does it feel like I can fly through the sky now?
“Uh..you didn’t hate me at all..?”
“From the time I first came to this place called Earth until now.. “
” … “
“I never learned how to hate you.”
" .. Choi Beom-gyu "
"That's why I can't hate you. It's not that I don't hate you."
Perhaps my universe is already turning to that child's light. Just as the solar system centers on the sun's light and all the planets revolve around it,
My mind also seemed to be irresistibly revolving around that child.
I felt embarrassed for no reason and quickly changed the subject.
“Uh.. So where are you going to stay now..?”
"Me? Well, I could probably find a house, but..."
” … “
When did you ever have the financial means to buy a house? Does that mean you can't live with me?
" .. he "
” ..? “
“I think there was a little bit left at that time, 2 weeks ~ I was sorry about that.”
" ..!! really ..? "
“Yeah. So, can’t I stay with you a little longer..?”
“.. Okay. Let’s do that.”
“Haha, as expected, I.. “
” ..? “
Hug,
“I like you so much.”
“..!! Hey.. It’s been so long, so..ㄱ”
"..I missed you so much"
" uh..? "
“I missed you so much. Always.”
" .. me too. "
And so my universe came back to me.
••
Slurp,
“Beomgyu, wake up.”
“Ugh...”
“Even after two years, I still can’t wake up in the morning...”
Swish,
" .. pretty. "
” … “
I quietly straightened Beomgyu's hair. His eyelashes were really long and pretty. Do Beomgyu's parents have pretty eyes too? The power of genetics... No, Mom, I like my eyes.
It had been a while since I'd woken up, but I sat by the bedside, looking at Beomgyu, who was still sleeping soundly. Seriously... I guess I'm back.
at that time,
Swoosh,
“ ..!! “
” … “
I was sleeping when my sleeve rolled up a little and I saw a bruise. It was quite large and red. What the...? Did I bump into something yesterday?
Or maybe you got hit by your father.
".. No. It's not that bad yet."
” … “
I wanted to immediately reveal my shirt and turn my suspicions into certainty, but I held back.
at that time,
“Are you awake..?”
“..?! This is a surprise..!”
" huh ..? "
“..ha, I still sleep a lot in the mornings even after two years”
" huh .. "
“Chi.. heh I’m going to cook dinner now, so just make the bed and come out.”
" huh .. "
So I left the room and went to the kitchen to prepare a quick breakfast.
" thank you for this food "
" thank you for this food .. "
Choi Beom-gyu is still chewing on his bread with his eyes closed, probably sleepy. No, I'm a heavy sleeper, but... this guy really is a bit...
Oh right, should I ask you something earlier..?
" .. you know."
" huh ..? "
“I saw a big bruise on your arm earlier. When did you hit it?”
" .. Really? I didn't know either."
" okay ..? "
That's a lie. Judging by the one beat delay in reaction and the immediate hiding of his arm, it's definitely a lie. If you can't lie like that, why do you keep trying to deceive me...?
For now, I decided to just let it go. There must be a reason...
“I don’t have any part-time work until today, so I’ll have to hang out with you.”
" really ? "
"Yeah. Is there anywhere you want to go?"
" I am .. "
After a while,
“Of all the places…why this place”
“This is my first time coming to a ranch like this!!”
“ ..yeah. That could be possible.”
Choi Beom-gyu chose an alpaca farm out of all the places, and I headed to the owner's farm where I get the cafe milk.
The owner is a very adventurous person, so he raises many animals at once, including cows, sheep, and alpacas.
“I’m just going to look around for an hour.”
" huh !! "
When I hang out with him, I really feel like a mother. Well... I think it would be fun to take a son like this out.
After a while,
"I told you to just watch for an hour..."
"Wow!! Look at that thing"
I'll take back what I said about having fun with him. I'll completely take it back. Because of Choi Beom-gyu, who's running around like Hong Gil-dong, my legs feel like they're going to break any minute.
I guess he never gets tired...
Eventually, I got tired first and lay down on the grass.
" .. good night "
Lying like this, looking up at the sky, it felt so vast and far away. Choi Beom-gyu came from a place even further away than that blue place... This is truly unbelievable.
"What.. Are you tired already?"
"Play more. I play like this."
" .. then "
” ..? “
Swish,
"I'm surprised like this too."
" he .. "
" .. pretty. "
"What's the weather like today? Yeah. It looks really pretty."
“It just seems like everything next to me right now is pretty.”
Even the passing alpaca seemed to know that those words were directed at me. Isn't that embarrassing for him to say such things? Still, it's always nice to hear them.
“I like space, but I like that blue sky better.”
" okay ? "
“Yeah. Of course, if I saw that beautiful universe with my own eyes, my thoughts might change...”
“ … ”
“Because the most beautiful and wide thing I can see right now is the sky.”
" .. I see "
“How is it? You must have seen the Milky Way yourself.”
“..isn’t it pretty. It’s pretty, but...”
“ ..? ”
Swish,
“It’s not the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen.”
"Then what do you think is the prettiest?"
"..that's a secret"
“Chi..what is it?”
“..I felt so beautiful that I couldn’t move for the first time, I couldn’t do anything.”
“Whatever it was, it must have been really pretty.”
Swish,
"That's right. It was really pretty."
What on earth did he see that made him so happy and excited just by imagining it? If it was that pretty, I thought, I really want to see it too.
“Next time, you must watch it together with me.”
“..yes. Let’s definitely watch it together.”
So I ended up making another promise with Choi Beom-gyu. I just really wanted to see him again next time.
