discharged. (2)

The nurse’s hand led me to the place where I arrived at Professor Kim’s office.

“Have a good talk with the professor~”

When the nurse knocked, Professor Kim’s voice came out from inside.

“Come on in.”

The nurse did not forget to stroke Shin Hyuk’s hair this time as well.

Whenever that happened, Shinhyun hid his awkward expression.

I really feel like a child.

no, is it a child?

The nurse who opened the door soon bowed her head to the professor and then disappeared.

Professor Kim, who was sitting in front of the PC, stood up with a benevolent smile.

“Sit there.”

“Yeah.”

As Shin Hyuk sat down on the sofa, Professor Kim poured orange juice out of him.

Shin Hyuk took it with both hands.

“thank you.”

Shin Hyuk looked at the cup in his hands.

It’s been a few days, but I’m still not used to seeing everything look bigger.

The professor asked, tapping his head with one finger.

“Our Shin Hyuk, how is your condition?”

“like.”

“Good thing. Did you see the article?”

“Which knight?”

“They said that the person Shin Hyuk pointed out was the culprit.”

“That’s fortunate.”

Shin Hyuk brought the cup to his lips with both hands.

Professor Kim let out a small smile and shook his head.

What the hell is this guy like?

How do you know that many things?

There must have been a lack of affection while being abused, wasn’t it that he turned his eyes to learning to make up for the deficiency himself?

Or to survive as a special child to their parents.

“It’s discharge day tomorrow, what do you want to do the most when you leave?”

“I want to visit my father.”

I was thinking of visiting the charnel house where it was enshrined.

‘An admirable guy.’

Even though he was abused by his father, he does not forget his duty.

The professor thought to himself and opened his mouth again.

“Could you say Besides home, do you have relatives or anywhere else to go?”

Shin Hyuk smiled awkwardly and shook his head.

There is nowhere else to go but home.

Dad had long since cut off contact with his relatives.

I had never even seen my relatives in the first place.

The professor spoke carefully.

“Shin Hyuk, maybe Mr. Lee will look for somewhere other than Shin Hyuk’s house so that he can get along well. Since Shin Hyuk is smart, you know what the teacher means, right?”

“Thank you so much for your concern. But that’s okay. It’s really fine.”

In response to Shin Hyuk’s refusal, Professor Kim stroked his chin.

“Then how about this? What about staying at this teacher’s house, even for a short while? There are many rooms left in the teacher’s house.”

Shin Hyuk put the cup down on the table and stood up.

And I bowed my head in gratitude.

“Thank you very much, Professor. But it’s really okay. There are many programs supported by the city.”

I was comfortable being alone now.

I wanted to.

There were a lot of things I had to sort through in my head.

Professor Kim couldn’t help but smile bitterly at Shin Hyuk’s behavior, which looked like a belly button greeting.

what in the city

When did you ever find something like that?

It was an unusual paper on Shin-hyeok’s condition, and it was nabal, and I wanted to keep him by his side with an honest feeling.

Informing them of this and that and watching the child grow up from the sidelines.

If you had children, would you have felt like this?

Looking at Shin Hyuk, Professor Kim took out something from the shopping bag next to him.

“Now, this is a discharge gift.”

It was a cell phone.

The moment Shin Hyuk was about to open his mouth, Professor Kim took it out as if throwing a word.

“If you refuse even this, are you upset, Mr. Lee? If you don’t get it, are you going to tell the police that you’re going to be discharged as a minor?”

Shin-hyeok begged and begged, and the story had already ended, but the professor was talking mischievously.

Although he listened to Shin Hyuk’s earnest request for giving him a huge thesis.

It was also true that even though Shin Hyuk was thinking like an adult, he was worried about how he would lead his life.

There had to be a connection point.

“Oh, thank you.”

Shin Hyuk thought it was not polite to refuse any more.

And like a child who received a present from Santa, he smiled brightly.

‘I must study.’

Because it was the first time for Shin Hyuk to have a cell phone that everyone else has.

But that wasn’t all.

There was a card on the back of the transparent case.

When Shin Hyuk raised his head, Professor Kim smiled.

“Every month, 300,000 won will be deposited there. Do you know what a sponsor is? Teacher Lee wants Shin Hyuk to be his sponsor.”

Professor Kim wanted to continue his relationship with Shin Hyuk.

Whether the child is sick, how he is doing, how he grows up.

“ah···.”

“If it’s burdensome, pay it back later. Even with interest.”

“oh my···.”

Shin Hyuk stood up again and bowed his head.

“thank you. I will definitely pay you back.”

Professor Kim drew a kind smile.

“Okay, call me if anything happens. If you call, I will answer.”

“All right.”

next day.

Shin Hyuk was greeted by medical staff and was able to leave the hospital.

It was not the old clothes he was wearing at the time of the accident, but new clothes that fit his body, which were gifts from the medical staff.

After getting on the bus, Shin Hyuk looked at the window.

Various people passed by.

After changing transportation several times, he arrived at the ossuary.

The compartment where the father is placed is high, so a movable ladder provided on one side was used.

An employee asked Shin Hyuk as he dragged a movable ladder.

“Can I help you?”

“Fine.”

drooling.

I fixed the movable ladder and stepped up the stairs.

“…”

Shin Hyuk stared at the urn, which had only his name written on it without a picture.

I had mixed feelings.

I hate it, but I feel sorry for it, and I want to argue with it, but I feel compassion.

Shin Hyuk calmed his chest pumping like a heart.

All of these are stories created by the brain.

I didn’t have to be trapped in emotions or my own trauma, trapped in common beliefs created by people.

“·······”

How long have you been looking at it like that?

“I will come again.”

Shin Hyuk put a flower in it and came down from the ladder.

Shin-hyeok looked at his father’s urn one last time and left the ossuary.

Arriving at a quiet bus stop, Shin Hyuk closed his eyes waiting for the bus.

The cold air entering his lungs seemed to clear his head.

Soon the bus arrived and Shin Hyuk swipe his card and got on the bus.

[I am a child]

Shin Hyuk scratched his cheek.

I kept thinking about it, but it seemed like it would take a long time to get used to.

Every time Shin Hyuk changed public transportation, the sun slowly tilted.

It wasn’t until five o’clock in the afternoon that Shin Hyuk arrived at the neighborhood where he lived.

Alleys intertwined like a spider’s web between residential areas.

Nothing changed.

Shin Hyuk stretched out his hand.

It seems that it snowed at the time of the accident, but it snows again like deja vu.

“Long time no see.”

much more than a month.

As Shin-hyeok moved, the small, faint shadow attached to his toe stretched as long as an adult’s height.

It was as if Shin Hyuk was showing his true self.

at that time.

“Look! Look!”

A woman’s voice pierced Shin Hyuk’s ears.

Shin-hyeok’s eyebrows gathered slightly as he paused.

Because it wasn’t a strange voice.

A name that strikes the air.

But, like an old memory, I couldn’t remember it well.

“Look! Look!”

In an instant, Shin Hyuk’s pupils dilated.

Bora mother with a 9-year-old, or now a 10-year-old daughter.

The lady who often smiled and handed me snacks and bread when I met her.

Not only that, but it was the lady who invited me to my house without my father’s knowledge and even took care of the meal.

“Look!”

However, the trembling of the woman’s voice is not unusual.

Tremors, anxiety, edginess.

Shin Hyuk quickly headed towards where the voice came from.
