The People of the Sun, 'Inca'
Ep 17. Nature


Fiction: This story is not related to historical facts or real people.

This is how a new relationship began.

The next day, Woogi and Minhyuk met at the promised time and place.


우기
"Where would you like to go?"


민혁
"I don't really like crowded places..."


우기
"Then I know a nice walking trail; do you want to go there?"

Woogi took Minhyuk to a path where few people travel.


민혁
"I can't believe a place like this exists here..."


우기
"Yeah. Not many people come here."


민혁
The people here have the technical skills to build houses up on that mountain, so why aren't they developing it?


우기
What are you talking about?


민혁
We could fill in the river over there and build a civic center.


우기
We could just level this mountain to build a stadium.


민혁
"Why go out of your way to build buildings over winding water and mountains?"


우기
"hmm..."


우기
That nature isn't all ours.

The rainy season pointed to the endlessly stretching forest and the mountains.


우기
That vast forest and mountains, and the river and sea.


우기
"How many animals, trees, or grass are in there?"


우기
There are probably countless numbers.


우기
Don't they also have the right to live in this world?


민혁
"...?!"


우기
As long as we were born into this world as living beings, there is no difference between us and them.


우기
"We are living like this because we were a little too greedy, but..."


우기
"At the very least, I don't think we should be harming lives because of something unnecessary."


민혁
"......"


우기
"They don't do that where you used to live?"


민혁
"we are...."


민혁
"For our convenience, we will... mercilessly destroy that nature."


우기
"what?"


민혁
So, I built roads and shops, and I made a lot of big profits.


우기
But, Oppa..


우기
"What will you do if all that nature disappears later?"


민혁
"Surely it won't all disappear?"


우기
"Oppa, look over there."

Before they knew it, Woogi and Minhyeok were standing at the top of the mountain, and the village was visible at a glance.


민혁
"Wow...it's pretty..."


우기
"Isn't it pretty...?"


우기
I don't think there is any place in the village where the village looks as pretty as here.

Woogi and Minhyeok sat on the mountain and gazed at the village for a long time.

Birds flew in the sky, deer and various animals frolicked in the forest, and large and small fish swam in the water, creating large and small ripples.


민혁
"I didn't know nature... was this beautiful..."


우기
I think I need to go now.


우기
"Because of training..."


민혁
"Wait a minute. Are we seeing each other tomorrow too?"


우기
"Okay... let's see."


우기
Instead, let's meet tomorrow at night.


민혁
Around 9 o'clock?


우기
"okay."

The next day, the two lay on the grass and gazed at the stars, and the day after that, they gazed at the sunset, and the day after that, at the sunrise.

As they played pranks on each other and ran around together, Woogi and Minhyuk gradually fell for each other.

As they taught and learned different things from each other, they gradually fell for a fascinating person who was different from themselves.


성재
"hey."


우기
Oh my god.


우기
"why?"


성재
Are you dating these days?


우기
"Ah, what are you talking about?"


성재
"Hmm... not really?"


우기
"What dating? Dating..."


성재
Your face is red.


우기
"Ah... no, I said it's not...!"


성재
"Haha, yeah."


우기
"Ah, why are you laughing!"


성재
"lol"


우기
"It's not a relationship!"


성재
"Okay. I said I get it."

Finally, all the male leads have appeared!

Is this the start of a love triangle?

However, I don't plan to drag out the romance for too long.

A very fast-paced development is coming up later.

I'm writing my next piece, but since I've gone back to school lately, I really don't have any time to write... sigh.

I will still give it my best shot!
