[Contest] Reunion
Episode 24 - The Rejuvenation Pool [Wendy's POV]


ME
Haam...

ME
I slept well.

Thanks to Minhyun dropping me off yesterday, I was able to get home safely and explain to the kids what happened.

Today is Sunday. It's the day I decided to go to Seongun's house to play.


지훈
Are you ready?

ME
Yeah. Haha


다니엘
let's go !


지훈
You look pretty today.


지훈
I'll take a picture for you. One. Two. Three.

Click.


지훈
pretty.

Jihoon took out a photo from his instant camera, shook it around wildly, and showed it to me.


ME
It came out well. Haha

Today, I really, really dressed up nicely, but I was worried that people might say my outfit wasn't very good, but luckily, I even got compliments. Haha.

ME
Let's go quickly!


지훈
okay.

ME
Grandma! We're here.


성운
Are you here? Haha


대휘
Sister! Brother! Are you here?


지훈
huh.


다니엘
Haha. Daehwi is wearing pajamas. Haha.

ME
So cute. Haha

Daehwi seemed to look good in pajamas, maybe because he was young. I... I don't really look good in pajamas... but Daehwi looks like a girl. Haha.



대휘
Really? Hehe.


성운
ruler...


성운
Where are you going today?


지훈
I don't know.


다니엘
I just want to lie down..


다니엘
Kitty... Jelly... Webtoon... Game... Sleep...

Daniel closed his eyes and smiled, muttering about what he wanted to do, what he wanted to eat, and what he wanted to have.


성운
Hahaha what the... haha


성운
Oh right!


성운
Wendy, you...


성운
Didn't you say you had a wish?

ME
ah..

ME
I want to go back to my childhood.


지훈
omg..


다니엘
Why all of a sudden?!

The kids all looked surprised.

The real reason I want to do that is because I have no memories of when I was young.

I want to go on a school trip and hang out with my kids.

Yes, that's right.

할머니
hmm..

할머니
I guess I'll just have to eat the rejuvenating herb.

할머니
If you eat it, you can return to your desired age.

할머니
Instead, you need to launder your identity.

할머니
I'll take care of that.

ME
thank you !

할머니
I'll give you ten bundles, so just take one bundle per person. Take it.

I didn't know my grandmother could be this 'cool'.

ME
Idle ~


지훈
He's excited again, he's excited..


다니엘
But... who are you going to bring?


지훈
Woojin?


다니엘
Minhyun?


대휘

성운
Shall we go to 12?

ME
Okay okay!! haha


성운
So a total of... 7 people!


성운
Can you do it right now?

할머니
then !


다니엘
I'll bring the kids!!

Daniel confidently said he would go, as if he knew where the kids were.

I wanted to go too.

ME
me too !

ME
I'll be back!

할머니
Yeah..

ME
Are you here?



다니엘
Yeah. Haha

Thump. Thump.

No! I have a boyfriend...

ME
There it is!

ME

다니엘

우진

우진

다니엘

다니엘

우진

성운
I didn't know we had a space like this in our house...

할머니
Pick the flower over there.

할머니
Only one per person.

My grandmother spoke with a solemn expression.

ME
yes.

I ran quickly and picked only the pretty, well-blooming flowers.

ME
Here it is.

할머니
ruler..

할머니
Everyone, put this in your mouth, bite off a corner, then take it out and hold it in your hand.


다니엘
yes.

Yum. Yum.

ME
Okay.

할머니
Everyone, hold the flower with your thumb and index finger and gather it in the middle.


우진
yes.


대휘
Hmm..

할머니
Close your eyes.

I closed my eyes with an uneasy heart.

할머니
The healthy fish, which has been rejuvenated, will never die...

작가
The incompetent writer is crying again today... big...

작가
Sorry for the sudden appearance... It's big...

As my grandmother continued to recite the spell, I felt my body change slightly.

My body was... shrinking!

ME
Hmm...

I felt like I had shrunk by 10cm in one minute.

like...

Just like when I was 12.
