Hey, how about a time trade?
Hey, how about a time trade? 01
It's been three years since my grandmother passed away.
Drumroll-
I opened the drawer in my room and saw a map and a photo.
And many more
This is a keepsake my grandmother left behind before she passed away.
엄마
"Han Yeo-ju, what are you doing there again?"
한여주
"Huh? I was looking at my grandmother's belongings."
엄마
"Oh my... you still believe what your grandmother said?"
한여주
"There's no reason for it to be fake."
한여주
"My grandmother even left me a map like this."
I show my grandmother's map to my mother, fluttering it in the wind.
엄마
“Huh… Lady, if that’s true, then you can open and close the belongings of a deceased person as you please?”
한여주
“...but that’s not it”
엄마
"Okay, let's go to the living room and eat dinner."
With my mother's sigh, I closed the drawer again and left the room.
엄마
"..."
한여주
"..."
아빠
"..."
아빠
"Hey, why are you out so late?"
엄마
"Well, I heard that he took out the belongings his mother left behind and checked them out again?"
아빠
"also?"
Dad sighs and scolds me.
아빠
“Lady, I understand that you want to believe that, but reality is more important to us, right? Or not?
한여주
“..That’s true, but if what grandma said is a lie, then what about the picture of the man in the drawer?”
아빠
“It could be someone your grandmother dated before she married your grandfather.”
widely-
I put down my spoon at my dad's words.
한여주
“I’m going to stop eating.”
엄마
"Hey, Kim Yeo-ju, are you going to rebel like this again?! Your dad says this because he's worried about you."
엄마
"Be honest with me. At 18, are you actually doing anything right now? Even if you dream, you still have to deal with reality."
한여주
“Why are we suddenly talking about studying?”
엄마
"It's because you keep doing that, right? That's why they call people like you immature."
아빠
“Both of you stop it.”
엄마
“Hey, you should say something too, okay?”
아빠
“...The female protagonist put down the rice bowl and went to her room.”
At my father's words, I nervously placed the rice bowl down and went into the room.
한여주
‘I know I look so immature’
I lay in bed, buried my face in the pillow, and lost in thought.
I might seem pathetic like this. My grades are at rock bottom, and I always believe my grandmother's strange stories.
But grades aren't everything. I'm good at things, and I don't necessarily believe that world is an illusion. I want to believe my grandmother's story until the end.
한여주
Why do adults think what they see is everything?
Swish
Drumroll-
I got out of bed and opened the drawer containing my grandmother's belongings again.
한여주
“How can I prove this?”
A reckless thought flashed through my mind.
한여주
“Okay, all I have to do is find Isan.”
Rummaging around-
한여주
"Found it"
After taking out the map, I unfolded it.
Chorruk
한여주
"and..."
한여주
“Now that I look at it, it’s cleaner than I thought for an old map.”
한여주
“Let’s see where Daedonsan is...”
한여주
“Here it is!”
한여주
“It’s a bit far from my house, but fortunately it’s not in another area.”
After determining the location of Daedonsan, I quickly grabbed the 10,000 won note on the desk.
한여주
“I think I can ride this much and come back?”
한여주
"Let's see when the time is..."
한여주
‘No, there’s no time. It’s almost time for the border that Grandma talked about to open..’
With not much time left, I quickly packed up my belongings and opened the door.
한여주
“I’ll be back soon.”
엄마
“Where are you going at this late hour?”
한여주
“There is something like that.. I have to go quickly. I will go!”
bang-
엄마
"He was acting so irritated just now, so why is he acting like that all of a sudden?"
아빠
“.....”
