OPPORTUNITY: Opportunity
#25
That day, I had a long conversation with Yunsu. I couldn't say that it took only a few hours to hear the story of his 14 years of life.
I definitely learned a lot more about Yunsu than before.
전정국
...So what are you going to do now?
전정국
You said your dad hit you often, do you have any evidence...?
전정국
That way you can get away from him.
고윤수
......he
Yunsoo shook his head with a bitter smile. The pain of the past few years seemed to be all visible in that single expression.
전정국
Yunsoo, do you believe in reincarnation?
고윤수
......
고윤수
There is no concept of soul.
고윤수
If we were to define the soul, we could say it is the energy that gives us the self.
전정국
......
전정국
You're a bone specialist.
고윤수
huh...
전정국
Phew, I even laugh while talking to you. It's so interesting.
고윤수
I'm curious too.
고윤수
Just a few days ago, I was having this conversation with you, the person I hated the most in the world.
전정국
......
전정국
I believe in reincarnation?
고윤수
......Yes.
전정국
Not because I'm a kid, lol. I really believe in reincarnation.
전정국
No, even if it's not reincarnation.
전정국
I believe in a world beyond the one we live in now.
고윤수
......
전정국
You will definitely do well.
전정국
What you want, what you dream of doing.
전정국
Everything will be achieved.
전정국
I guarantee it.
고윤수
......How would you know?
고윤수
I've only lived for 14 years, but it feels like my life has already fallen into the abyss.
전정국
......
전정국
I think like that because I've only lived for 14 years.
전정국
These days, we live in an era where people live to be 100 years old.
전정국
You only lived a tenth of your life.
전정국
The remaining nine-tenths of your life,
전정국
I'll be so happy.
전정국
So be confident and don't be afraid.
전정국
Because you are a much more amazing person than you think.
고윤수
......
고윤수
Anyway, tomorrow, the same hellish routine will repeat itself in the same house.
고윤수
If I just listen to you, I feel like I can do anything.
고윤수
You're really good at talking.
고윤수
So you're good at studying...
전정국
I can't... study...
전정국
It's not that I can't do it, but I just studied too much at one point.
전정국
I don't think it's easy to become the top student at Yonsei University through self-study.
고윤수
......?
전정국
Ah! Anyway!
전정국
You go to a better university than me.
전정국
I can guarantee this for sure.
전정국
You know very well that competition is meaningless in the first year of middle school, Emma.
전정국
If your father says anything, talk back to him in return.
전정국
If your father treats you poorly again,
전정국
I'll scold you then.
전정국
Run.
고윤수
......
고윤수
thank you.
고윤수
At least in words.
Yunsoo started attending school regularly after that. He was definitely brighter than before, but he still studied without putting down his pen, whether during recess or lunch.
Time went by so fast,
The second year came and went quickly.
"Hey, I heard Go Yoon-soo's dad went to prison."
"Oh... So that's why Yoon-soo transferred schools?"
"Yeah, I guess so. He wasn't even my biological father in the first place."
"What should I do with Yunsu... Do you know where Yunsu transferred to?"
"I don't know. How would I know?"
"There wasn't a single person who was particularly close to him."
Yunsoo transferred schools after the first semester of his second year, without anyone knowing. Without even saying goodbye to me, it was so sudden.
Even after Yoon-soo transferred, I continued my normal school life, and my relationships with Tae-hyung and Yeo-ju went on without any major changes.
The past hadn't changed at all. Mom was healthy, and I felt like I had absolutely nothing to worry about anymore.
Welcome to the 2010 freshmen of Yeonhwa High School.
김태형
...Is it really true that he became a high school student?
전정국
Time really flies lol
전정국
Oh my, Kim Taehyung, when did he grow up so much?
전정국
I raised him upside down...
김여주
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋHe's been saying that since he was in middle school.
김여주
I was the one who raised Taehyung with love.
김여주
Right, Taehyung?
김태형
Yeah
These two have been together for a much longer time than you might think. They started dating in middle school and have continued to this day, in high school.
전정국
You guys will last a long time too.
전정국
I honestly thought we'd break up within a week.
김여주
Of course lol How can you not like Kim Taehyung?
김태형
How can you not like Kim Yeo-ju?
김여주
But did you know that Kim Taehyung stopped talking as he got older?
전정국
ㅇㅇㅇ attack
전정국
I suddenly started to set the mood when I was in 3rd grade of middle school.
전정국
The voice is like that too...
김태형
It was like this originally.
전정국
No, I was really nervous.
전정국
Your elementary school classmates would never recognize you.
김태형
What did the old man say...
전정국
mister...?
김태형
You are now thirty-five...
김태형
Seriously... old fart...
전정국
What? Me? Thirty-five?
김여주
Oh, these guys are fighting over age again.
김여주
If someone saw Jeon Jungkook, they would think he was a really 35-year-old old man.
전정국
...Why is thirty-five an old man?
전정국
No, sir.
김태형
Yes, sir.
Beginnings are fraught with fear. Excitement isn't everything.
Is it because I've become too accustomed to this body, which has returned to the past and has a twenty-seven-year-old soul in it, in a nine-year-old body?
For years, without realizing it, I had forgotten why I came here.
If all goes according to plan, at this point, there are exactly 10 years left until death.
Knowing that I will die in 10 years, what should I do now that I have returned to the past so that I can say that I have done my best?
The days of the past when I was afraid and avoided everything.
From today, I
I decided to find the biggest and most fundamental reason why I came back here.
