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 image

우기

"Where would you like to go?"

민혁 image

민혁

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

우기 image

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 image

민혁

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

우기 image

우기

"Yeah. Not many people come here."

민혁 image

민혁

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

우기 image

우기

What are you talking about?

민혁 image

민혁

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

우기 image

우기

We could just level this mountain to build a stadium.

민혁 image

민혁

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

우기 image

우기

"hmm..."

우기 image

우기

That nature isn't all ours.

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

우기 image

우기

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

우기 image

우기

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

우기 image

우기

There are probably countless numbers.

우기 image

우기

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

민혁 image

민혁

"...?!"

우기 image

우기

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

우기 image

우기

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

우기 image

우기

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

민혁 image

민혁

"......"

우기 image

우기

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

민혁 image

민혁

"we are...."

민혁 image

민혁

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

우기 image

우기

"what?"

민혁 image

민혁

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

우기 image

우기

But, Oppa..

우기 image

우기

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

민혁 image

민혁

"Surely it won't all disappear?"

우기 image

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 image

민혁

"Wow...it's pretty..."

우기 image

우기

"Isn't it pretty...?"

우기 image

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 image

민혁

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

우기 image

우기

I think I need to go now.

우기 image

우기

"Because of training..."

민혁 image

민혁

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

우기 image

우기

"Okay... let's see."

우기 image

우기

Instead, let's meet tomorrow at night.

민혁 image

민혁

Around 9 o'clock?

우기 image

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 image

우기

Oh my god.

우기 image

우기

"why?"

성재 image

성재

Are you dating these days?

우기 image

우기

"Ah, what are you talking about?"

성재 image

성재

"Hmm... not really?"

우기 image

우기

"What dating? Dating..."

성재 image

성재

Your face is red.

우기 image

우기

"Ah... no, I said it's not...!"

성재 image

성재

"Haha, yeah."

우기 image

우기

"Ah, why are you laughing!"

성재 image

성재

"lol"

우기 image

우기

"It's not a relationship!"

성재 image

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!

Thank you for reading today!
