17 – Emotion walk (3)

Song Soo-yeon was sitting on the bed after getting ready for school.

She spends her time fiddling with her little smart phone.

Even though she had to leave now, knowing she wouldn’t be late, she didn’t move.

There was no great motive.

It was just an action that started with a weak thought that it would be nice if I could do that.

Song Soo-yeon wondered if her hero would come back home now.

Wouldn’t the uncle also want to see the condition of the house? No matter how well-intentioned you may be, you might be worried about leaving your house to someone else.

Or, as much as he likes himself, he comes to see his face…

“…….”

Time gradually slowed down. If you add up the waiting time, it will be over 30 minutes.

Song Soo-yeon sighed and rose from her seat.

what am i doing

After giving up, I couldn’t understand why I acted like such an idiot.

Her consciousness turned toward school. Another hard day begins.

Of course, the bullying is gone, but the hardships are the same.

Maybe today will be harder.

I ran away from home, so I didn’t have a bag, and since my shoes were torn, I had no choice but to wear slippers borrowed from the uncle’s store.

If you see him like that, the Iljin people can’t help but laugh at him. Once there’s a little bit to catch, they stumble and fall.

After putting on her slippers, she opened the door.

“Hug!”

Then, in surprise, he takes a picture of the buttocks.

“……Ah, I was surprised.”

Jeong-gyeom was standing by the door.

Song Soo-yeon accepted the situation for a while, then recalled the sound she had made.

‘Hug!’

“…madam…”

She had to secretly close her eyes and swallow her embarrassment again.

“Why are you surprising me!”

Song Soo-yeon raised her voice to hide her shame.

Was he still waiting outside? I feel like an idiot for waiting for him inside.

“And, if you come, you can come in. Why are you waiting outside!”

And vaguely, I was happy.

The fact that he, too, wanted to see him from the morning.

The smile that was about to leak out was hidden with anger again.

“Everything you do is shady, really..”

“Did you sleep well?”

He seemed to be getting used to his way of speaking. He asked with a smile, ignoring all sharp words.

“……”

Song Soo-yeon hesitated for a moment.

This casual conversation asking how to say hello. I feel warm again.

Each of these things heals her.

It was as if I was returning to a daily life I had never experienced before.

“……..”

Do you know that you are so grateful to him?

I try to express it whenever I get a chance, but it’s not as easy as it sounds.

Are you ashamed of being clumsy at expressing emotions in the first place?

“…Thanks.”

With her momentum dead, she deliberately bluntly brushes her butt off and gets up.

Then he carefully moved his eyes to examine his face.

“……”

She realized that just looking at his face made her feel a little excited.

I felt like an idiot for being happy so easily that it was absurd.

Is it like this just by looking at your face?

Song Soo-yeon shook her head.

No, that’s not it, it’s probably just being thankful that this isn’t all a dream.

So she justified her joy.

‘Pretty is pretty.’

In an instant, the sound of his heart was heard. Song Soo-yeon trembled.

Her lips quiver and curl up. To hide the leaking laughter, he snorted.

“under. Really… Ha. I’m dumbfounded… ha.”

“Why, again.”

“…You’re annoying because you startle me.”

In order to hide the fact that I had read his thoughts, I became irritated again.

Song Soo-yeon didn’t know why the other men’s comments about her being beautiful were so annoying, but why his thoughts were so happy.

“So why are you here? What, did you miss my face that much?”

Song Soo-yeon hid her joy and asked.

“ah.”

As if remembering his purpose, Jeong-gyeom took out something he had been hiding behind his back.

“sleep. You have to go to school.”

It was a new bag and shoes.

“…..uh…”

“Take these. I can’t go back home Bullying should be avoided.”

Her excited heart sinks into unbelievable gratitude.

This is the first time I have experienced emotion and warmth in the morning.

How do you think of yourself this way? too delicate

Every time like this, it seemed to confirm his sincerity.

In the midst of the tip of his nose starting to frown, he says he noticed his reaction too.

“You have to go to school, but don’t cry.”

“……”

But his words seem to make me cry even more. It seems that all the tears that will be shed for the rest of my life will be shed within a few days.

He was only watering the emotions that I thought were dry.

“…I’m giving it to you because I’m starting my part-time job today. I’m afraid I’ll pamper you.”

At that time, Jeong-gyeom puts a smile on his face and speaks in a teasing tone.

Song Soo-yeon realized that it was his effort to prevent his own tears.

“I know that because if I don’t work, I will take everything away.”

The intense emotions subside in his jokes.

Song Soo-yeon wiped her eyes with her finger and matched it to his rhythm.

“…I don’t take anything from you.”

And he cherished his gift.

She also accumulates debts in her heart like this.

…. She promised that she would pay it back one day. Even if it takes a lifetime.

The two enter the studio on the road.

Song Soo-yeon immediately put on her bag, opened the shoe box, and put on new shoes.

It was a mix of white and black sneakers. It didn’t splash too much, so it was suitable for quiet walking.

If it was tacky, how many times would you have been cursed at from behind?

Was it his consideration for choosing such a design?

“The slippers are in the bag, so keep that in mind.”

Jeong-gyeom walked all the way into the room and lay down on the bed.

After sleeping in the store all night, he stretched as if he was sore.

Song Soo-yeon couldn’t help but feel sorry.

“By the way, what if the student is late like this?”

He asks Song Soo-yeon, who was caressing her new shoes while watching him with a sidelong glance.

Song Soo-yeon couldn’t tell the truth. How could I say that I was waiting inside because I wanted to see Mr.

“……My heart.”

So she answered bluntly. And then it strikes back again.

“…If you twist it, you should come in. It’s a house, but what’s the point of standing outside like a hogu?”

“…ji? You’re not even an uncle anymore, are you?”

“…To the subject that I call that side.”

“……..”

She was gradually enjoying even the conversations that had taken place on these days. It was fortunate that I turned my back on him to put on my shoes. I just wanted to show you a smile.

Putting on her shoes, she stood up. If you really don’t go now, it’s too late.

I wanted to continue the conversation with him a little longer, but I had to hold back for now.

Besides, I’m with him after school anyway. There was no need to feel sorry now.

This fact gave her a great sense of security. That this future will continue.

“I’ll go.”

“Yes, go quickly.”

“yes.”

“If there is a problem, I turn to the hero.”

Song Soo-yeon thought to herself.

‘…..My hero is Mr.

Of course, it was an embarrassing thought beyond words. It was astonishing that he had thought of it himself.

Song Soo-yeon tried to turn the door, but hesitated.

……I pondered over the words to rely on the hero.

“….I..”

“yes..?”

“…Mister, give me your number.”

She mustered up the courage to ask. This was the first time I had asked for someone’s number.

I never thought it would be this difficult.

My heart was pounding, and my fingertips were tingling. I was afraid that he might say he didn’t like it.

But those feelings didn’t last long.

“Ah, yes.”

Jeong-gyeom, who was about to lie down on the bed, gets up in a hurry and approaches her. Song Soo-yeon reflexively turned her head. It’s hard to see his face at close range.

“Take out your cell phone. I will call you.”

Song Soo-yeon could tell that Jeong-gyeom was excited. Did he also say that he was the first friend? Joy radiates from his bright voice and actions.

Song Soo-yeon was also happy. However, he hides that feeling again, and enters the number into his cellphone as he calls.

……It was the first number in her life.

****

I arrived at school on time. Song Soo-yeon caught her breath and fiddled with her cell phone.

There was time left before the ordinance began. She continued to look at Jeong-gyeom’s number on her smartphone.

It’s been a long time since I memorized it. Just knowing the number like this gives me a sense of security.

You could hear his voice whenever you wanted.

That fact kept touching her heart.

“…Whoa…”

Song Soo-yeon cleaned up her expression. I felt like laughing like an idiot. If the Iljin people see it, they might gossip about it again.

Suddenly, she realizes that this is the first time that she’s going to laugh at school.

Song Soo-yeon started looking at articles on the Internet. There’s nothing like this to calm your excitement.

I turn over the numerous articles one by one.

Then, the titles of some articles caught my eye.

‘Divine Solas. Defeat the villain again. Rescue 24 hostages.’

‘Solas, ranked 87th in the hero ranking after a year of debut. Where are the limits?’

‘Solas, Hero of the Month Award.’

“……”

Seeing that, it really calmed my heart. Song Soo-yeon still did not like these ‘heroes’.

Her thoughts did not waver. People who claim to be heroes are just state-approved gangsters. Just looking at the title of the article, the focus is on subduing the villains.

……A real hero is someone like an old man.

It was an unchanging truth that only she knew.

Below is a video of Solas’ interview.

The views were pretty high. Song Soo-yeon clicked on the video as if possessed.

It begins with a reporter’s question.

‘Solas-sama, you are already showing great talent as a hero. What is your goal?’

Solas replied while maintaining her unique bright mood.

‘My goal is to become a hero!’

Laughter broke out among the reporters for a moment.

‘No, aren’t you already a hero? Are you saying you’ve accomplished your goal?’

‘……..’

And silence comes. enough to make the air awkward. The smile in Solas’ eyes gradually disappears. She put on a serious expression for a moment.

The reporter said restlessly.

‘Did I even make a mistake-‘

Seeing the reporter, Solas is startled.

‘Oh, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Are you surprised? I was thinking about it for a while. Um… I don’t think I’m a hero yet.’

Song Soo-yeon frowned. I was becoming more and more immersed in the video.

Solas says.

‘…I think a hero is not only about fighting villains… but also about sharing strength with everyone who asks for help. Even if it’s a small thing. And who doesn’t want anything in return. The one who gives warmth. In addition….’

As if thinking, Solas narrowed her eyes and let out a small laugh.

‘Haha, and a person who stands up to an unbeatable enemy in order to protect his precious people. I think that kind of person is a hero. I am still far away. I’m going to ask for more qualifications besides this, but I’m still learning…so please help me too. Please watch my actions in the future and point them out. I will become a great hero.’

With that, the video ends.

Song Soo-yeon stared blankly at the ending video. something is bothering me

……There are heroes who think like this. He seemed to have some similarities with his uncle.

In particular, Solas’ words, ‘one who stands up to an unbeatable enemy’.

Those words remind me of the old man who went all the way to the Hero Association and was angry with the Sheik.

Even though I couldn’t admit Solas yet because of my pride, I was able to admit that there was a part different from the heroes I’ve seen so far.

It seems like I lost for nothing. I didn’t think there was such a hero.

“…Whoops.”

She just turned her mind off. Either a villain or a hero.

This is the story of a world far away from her.

Song Soo-yeon’s world has started a new story.

She just wanted to care about that.

Song Soo-yeon closed her eyes and prayed that school would end quickly.

The uncle boasted that he would pamper him, but Song Soo-yeon was looking forward to even that.
