소녀
I don't remember
지민
'Well then, really...'
지민
'Was there a missing person incident?'
Clank
Squeak-
할아버지
Jimin, are you here?
지민
Grandpa, this kid is awake!!
할아버지
Oh, yeah
할아버지
What, does it hurt anywhere?
The girl looked up at her grandfather as if she had first seen Jimin and asked.
소녀
who are you?
할아버지
Haha, Jimin is my grandfather.
할아버지
Okay, can you tell me what your name is?
소녀
...
Jimin fidgeted in the awkward silence and tried to stop his grandfather.
지민
Grandpa...
소녀
I don't know
소녀
I don't know the name
소녀
I don't remember anything...
Jimin's grandfather nodded as if it was nothing.
할아버지
Okay, let's name it.
소녀
name...?
할아버지
You can't keep calling him "hey" or "there" or "kid"
할아버지
Found on the beach?
할아버지
Then, the sea is deep,
할아버지
How about the deep sea
소녀
deep waters...
심해
great
지민
deep waters...
지민
deep waters...
지민
deep waters.
Suddenly, I remembered a poem I learned in literature class.
When I called his name
He came to me
Became a flower
Three days later, on the way to school,
지민
Seriously, come quickly
심해
huh...!
Deep Sea and Jimin are going to school
(yesterday afternoon)
할아버지
Jimin, would you like to go to school with Simhae tomorrow?
지민
Huh...? Why that all of a sudden?
할아버지
Yesterday and today were weekends so we were at home together
할아버지
Tomorrow is Monday, so I can't leave Deep Sea home alone.
지민
ah...
A playground with few people passing by.
Haewoo High School can be said to be a rural school with only 30 students in total and about 10 students per grade.
In particular, the second grade that Jimin attends only has 7 students.
김태형
You Jimin-
지민
Oh, surprise!
김태형
What are you so surprised about?
The man who ran to Jimin looked at Simhae who was standing next to him and asked with a puzzled look.
김태형
Uh... who...
김태형
By any chance, you're a woman...?
지민
Ah, no, what about a girlfriend!!!
지민
I just found out about this a few days ago!!
김태형
Oh, really?
김태형
I also, this is the first time I've seen a girl like this in this remote area.
김태형
I thought you were my first love who sang songs.
심해
First, love?
지민
???
지민
(Why are you saying something like that in front of someone you're seeing for the first time)
심해
...
Simhae opened his mouth quietly, as if he didn't see Jimin speaking to the boy.
심해
I'll go in first.
Jimin looked at Simhae as he entered the school with quick steps and shook his head.
지민
Ha, really Kim Taehyung.
김태형
Hey, but isn't this his first time at school today?
지민
uh...?
김태형
Do you know where half is?
지민
...!!!
지민
It's so bad!!!!!!!
슈베슈
In poet Kim Chun-su's "Flowers," it is said that "flowers" represent meaningful existence!
슈베슈
When you call the name of a meaningless being, that being becomes meaningful to you!
슈베슈
To sum it all up, Jimin came to recognize the deep sea as a meaningful entity.
슈베슈
So now, deep sea, do you notice what the spots on the girl represent?
슈베슈
It was a name given to a girl who could have been just ordinary!!
슈베슈
If you think about it simply, it's a comma of equal rank, right?
슈베슈
Although the story is a bit slow, thank you for reading today!!
슈베슈
Ah, I made a chat room!!! If you're bored, come visit >♡<
슈베슈
Well then, good luck with your exam...
