The Girl Who Loved Seven Yokai
23. Garden


류진
If it hurts more, please tell me.

류진
I need to get better soon because I have to buy it too.

I forced a smile


김석진
Hmm... there's a garden here. Want to go check it out?

I nodded twice.


김석진
How is life here?

류진
Well... it's not uncomfortable...

류진
Now I have nowhere to go... (mumbles)

류진
I need to get better soon so I can live... and it'll be good for you too.


김석진
hmm..

As I was walking like that, I ran into a man.

The man lifted me up

류진
Uh... over there...


전정국
How can you be so light, how can you win a bet when you're this skinny?

류진
Please let me down..!!

I could only flail in the air, unable to get down.

Then, all of a sudden, it came down gently


김석진
If you say you don't like it, then why don't you use it?

It was a completely different kindness from when I first saw it.

I couldn't tell if this was about treatment or a bet.

류진
Um...Can't we go to the garden later?

류진
It's not too late to go after treating these people first.

류진
And if you do it for too long, it's not hygienic...


김석진
.....I can't help it..

There was silence for a moment, and his voice sounded slightly annoyed.


전정국
Then can't I do it first?

I nodded

I came back to the room again

류진
Could you please lift up those clothes for me..?


전정국
ah,

As if he understood, he immediately put on his clothes.

His wounds were numerous.

The arrow narrowly missed the bone while burning.

I held back my tears as I applied the herbal medicine and changed the cloth.

Same as before

류진
Excuse me...where are the others?


전정국
Maybe they're each in their own rooms?

류진
Then...can you bring some other people?


김석진
It's simple

Then he opened the door and went in.

The man behind me covered his ears with his hands.

Soon after, the man took his hand from his ear and other people came too.


김석진
Is this okay? lol

He spoke affectionately and gave me a warm smile.

I also answered with a smile.

류진
Oh..and..I'm sorry for making you come so suddenly..

류진
I had no choice because of the treatment.

Someone wrapped their arms around my cheek.


박지민
Why is it so small?

And then he held her in his arms

His embrace was like a warm, sweet, cozy blanket.

류진
It's warm... (whisper)

Words came out of my mouth without me knowing

류진
Ah....I...that's...////

My face turned red


박지민
Phew- Wow, so cute..ㅎ

류진
Ugh... Ugh...

I burst into tears without realizing it.


박지민
Huh..huh?!!

He looked embarrassed

And then I was in someone else's arms


정호석
Oh my... that's right... it's okay... it's okay...

The voice was so gentle and clear that my eyes fluttered shut.


정호석
You little punk, you're making the child cry, but even so, he's still so young.


박지민
I didn't mean to make you cry...

Then he stroked my head

I woke up shortly after.

When I opened my eyes, countless eyes were looking at me.


김남준
Oh, you're awake.. Did you sleep well?

I nodded my head in a half-asleep state.


박지민
I'm sorry... I didn't mean to make you cry...

It was like a sullen cat.

I smiled without realizing it, the corners of my mouth rising.


박지민
Ah.. really.. I wish it were Uya.. (mumble)

류진
I'm sorry everyone...

류진
Why didn't you call me and just go to sleep?


박지민
Treatment is still possible now.

I glanced at a man

류진
I'm sorry... (whisper)


김석진
....You can go next time hehe

thank god


민윤기
Hwaam..

This man walks out from behind while yawning


민윤기
Oh, I thought you were dead.

류진
.....

My cheeks are plump

Someone was poking and poking the ball next to me.


김태형
lol..

류진
Hey, hurry up and get treated.../////

I finished such a short yet long treatment.

류진
I...

I looked at him and spoke at length.


김석진
Should I go now? lol

nodded


김태형
where?


김석진
You don't have to know

Then I went down the stairs

He and I arrived at the garden

류진
It's a nice place..

It was a wonderful space where the scent of flowers and grass blended together.

but..

My expression darkened in an instant.


김석진
Hmm... I guess it was a nice place?


김석진
Why are you looking so gloomy?

He said, pressing his face against mine

류진
.....///

I blushed again


김석진
Seriously, why are you so cute... (mumble)

류진
That's because there's not much time left...until the full moon...

류진
Haha...where did that confidence go back then...

류진
Well...it's not like I'm going to die soon, so it's not like I should be sad about it...

류진
And...even if I lose the bet, it probably won't be that bad...

Tears were welling up in my eyes as if I would cry again any moment.

Then he wrapped me in his arms
