1. Our time
" .. miss you "
I told you not to see me again, so why do I keep missing you? Seriously, I'm so selfish.
at that time,
“Hey, lady. Come out for a moment.”
" .. uh "
Seokmin's voice calling me was unusual. It was firm yet gentle, unlike usual.
“What do you have to say?”
“..there’s that guy you like”
“ .. Oppa, actually I don’t like you anymore.. hehe “
“Hey, you know I don’t like lying, right?”
" .. uh "
"Then tell me. You cried yesterday because of that guy, right? And you still like him."
" .. huh "
I felt like I was a glass window. Everything... seemed to be visible and I was being caught.
“What did that man say to you?”
“..I kicked it”
"Why did you quit? You still like me."
“That person...the first person I killed...”
“ ... “
“He’s my dad.. How could I like him knowing that..?”
Boom,
When I found out, it felt like the world, my world filled with that person, was crumbling. No, it was crumbling terribly.
at that time,
“.. Lee Yeo-ju”
" why.. "
“Raise your head. You did nothing wrong.”
“How could we have done nothing wrong? How much did Dad do to us?”
“So you did nothing wrong”
“What the heck is that..?”
“Dad loved you more than me, more than Chani. Every time you hurt him, instead of scolding him, he always hugged you.”
“ ... “
“Dad won’t tell you you made the wrong choice.”
" but.. "
“My only daughter...”
“ ... “
“Because I’m sure you still love me a lot.”
“Brother...”
“Go and catch it. Catch it, the one you missed, the one he missed.”
" really..? "
Gulp,
In that moment, I felt all the guilt wash away. I was finally able to cast off my shackles, and the feeling was overwhelming, beyond words.
I called the fairy man right away, and shortly after hearing the ringtone, I heard a familiar voice.
“Hello?”
“Hey, heroine, it’s been a while. But why are you calling all of a sudden?”
“Mister..! Where are you now?”
“Me? I’m at the airport.”
“Uh..why?”
“Actually today...”
“ ..? “
“It’s the day Hoshi goes to Spain for work overseas, so we’re all seeing him off.”
Boom,
“Hello? Lady! Lady! “
I thought it was the last, but it really was. It was too late, the last... I finally realized it now... I think I realized it too late.
If our time were the same now... If our places were the same, would we be able to meet again?
Maybe... maybe not
2. We again
4 years later,
Ringing,
" hello? "
“Hey, Yeoju! How could you go on a language training trip without saying a word to me?”
“Ahh.. If I tell the fairy, it’s obvious he’ll tell me not to go..!”
“But you really..!”
“Haha, I’m going back to Korea soon anyways?”
“When are you coming?”
“Don’t be surprised.”
“ ..? “
“I’ll go back tomorrow, tomorrow.”
“Really?! “
“Yeah, I guess I should go to a party with the older men and older women.”
"Okay. I'll prepare it with all my heart."
“Really?! “
In the end, I tried to make it work. I knew the timing would be right, but I knew my efforts would be in vain. But... I had to try.
And Spain is also very nice. The air is clean and the people are all friendly. Oh, except for the old man in the store next door.
It was a decision made after discussion with my brother. Well, I was the one who practically convinced him...
But I came at a really bad time. Of all days, I came during the hottest time in Spain... Ugh.
“Mister, I’m going to go get some ice cream. It’s so hot here.”
“Okay, I get it. You have to come back healthy.”
“Yes, yes~”
Thump,
“Oh... it's hot.”
Spain is usually cool, but it still gets hot when it's hot.
So I left the house and went to the store next door, and as expected, there was a shop owner who was always rude to me. Ugh...
I bowed my head slightly and went to the ice cream corner, and chose several ice creams with the intention of getting a lot at once. A lot.
The store owner is yelling at me in Spanish because I chose too many and it's taking too long to check out. Isn't it better to buy a lot?!!
I snatched the ice cream I had calculated in annoyance, and the old man was speechless, as if he was dumbfounded.
“Oh my! That bastard is really..!!”
I went into the alleyway with my ice cream in my hand, and it was really dark because it was night. Oh my... I think I've seen this somewhere before.
at that time,
bang,
“ ..!!! “
I heard a familiar gunshot from somewhere and my face started to turn red.
“.. Mr. Ha, this is why I have been looking for that man for years.”
I deliberately walked briskly toward the house, which allowed me to get home quickly. There's no guarantee it was the old man, and I couldn't die before I even saw him.
The next day,
“There really isn’t much time left now.. “
Actually, I thought this would be the last time. My brother and I had agreed that if we didn't meet the old man this time, we'd just give up, and I also thought this would truly be the last time.
But... as my departure time drew near, I became increasingly anxious. Please... I wish you would just appear before me once.
at that time,
widely,
" ..?!! what.. "
“Would you like to go somewhere with us for a bit?”
“Shh ...
After being around killers for a few years, you can tell exactly what's going on. Is this guy just naively approaching me or something?
Are you taking me here to kill me?
“Put this down!!!”
at that time,
widely,
“Ugh..”
A blond man hit the back of my neck from behind and I lost consciousness. What the hell are we going to do... I was going to die before that...
3. Right?
“Oh.. Where am I?”
When I opened my eyes, I was tied up in what looked like an interrogation room. And my whole body...
“..it’s a bomb”
No, why is it that when I catch it, it comes out, and why is it that when I put it on my body, it's a bomb?
at that time,
Beep,
“ .. Can you hear me? “
- ..can you hear my voice?
“ .. Why do you snatch me? “
- ..Why did you kidnap me?
“You don’t need to know that.”
“If you knew how to speak Korean, you should have spoken in Korean a long time ago.”
“Shut up. Don’t you understand what’s happening?”
“No? I’ve been through a lot of different situations over the years, so I’m not really scared.”
“Crazy X.. “
"You're only finding out now? Don't they even do preliminary research before arresting people? Or was it not already there? You're absolutely crazy."
“..and our target is a very important person to you”
“ ..! “
Surely not. Even if we meet, we shouldn't meet like this. I'd rather blow myself up.
“Do you know Uji?”
“..I have a question”
“ ..? “
“Why are you putting on a show like this when you know full well you won’t tell me?”
" what..?!! "
“No, I’m just really curious.”
Even if I die, I'll protect our uncles. It's not a bad life to make a sacrifice once in a while.
So I fought with those black killers for a long time without being able to do anything, and eventually, the boss of those black guys got angry and opened the door to the interrogation room where I was and walked quickly towards me. Then,
“Hey!! You really want to die..ㅇ!!!!”
bang,
“ ..!!! “
As the bastard opened the door and tried to kill me, a gunshot was heard from somewhere and the man fell in front of me, bleeding.
“Uh..what is this”
In an instant, the interrogation room became a scene of chaos, and the black gang members took out their guns one by one and aimed them.
But soon after, gunshots rang out, and one by one, people fell down, bleeding, and someone came into the interrogation room and pointed a gun at my head.
“ ... “
I stared straight ahead without saying anything in a familiar situation, and the person pointing the gun at my head flinched, perhaps surprised by my reaction.
And then he spoke to me in a soft tone.
“ Hey. are you Korean? “
- Hey. Are you Korean?
“ .. I’m not scared, shoot me “
- .. I'm not scared, shoot quickly.
“ Reply me. you’re Korean, Right? “
- Answer me. You're Korean, right?
“Huh.. what’s so important about being Korean? You keep saying I’m Korean.. “
"It's important. So answer quickly. If you don't answer..."
“ ..? “
“Okay.. I shot it.. all.”
“ ..?!!! “
“So, answer quickly. You...”
“ ... “
“Is this Yeoju Lee?”
Heart pounding,
Heart pounding,
I couldn't say anything. I was so excited, and I loved the man who was looking at me while pointing a gun at me.
“ .. That’s right. Me “
“.. Let’s go out and talk. Get up quickly.”
“Ah..yes”
Thanks to the help of my uncle's team, I was able to escape the building and drive to my uncle's place.
