Childhood Friend of the Zenith Chapter 281

< Episode 281 > Winter Rain. (4)

With the pouring rain.

in the middle of a crowd of people.

The woman moved at a busy pace.

‘ .why?’

Even while walking, I ask myself.

Why is he avoiding his seat?

Even if you face the person you want to see so much.

Why are you running away from him?

‘why?’

I don’t know.

Still don’t know.

The moment you meet his eyes.

I just wanted to get out of the seat and avoid it.

‘I’m scared.’

yes i’m scared

Anxiety and fear that have risen to the top of your neck scatter the mind you have been trying to hold on to.

Why are you so frightened?

The woman tightly closed her eyes.

– Calm down.

Then, as if I had been waiting, I heard a voice in my head.

It was a voice that had been telling me the way before.

She called the owner of this voice her sister.

I believed and followed.

When I didn’t know, I even asked for directions.

‘You asked me not to come out for a while.’

He wasn’t a very trustworthy person to her now.

-Are you afraid?

‘…’

– I’m afraid he won’t recognize my changed appearance. Are you afraid of that?

Upon hearing the words, the woman did not utter a word.

It was because I couldn’t bear to say no.

– You must be scared.

‘ .Don’t talk like you know everything easily.’

– If you don’t know, I’m probably the only one who knows about you the best in the world.

‘That’s what it means to say it easily.’

even when you’re in denial.

The woman bit her lip.

Because I couldn’t deny it.

A completely different look from when I was next to him.

How would you look in that person’s eyes?

that’s what scares me

also.

I’m afraid I’ll hear a resentful sound from that person’s mouth.

That’s what the woman was afraid of.

Why did you leave without a word?

why has it changed so much

The moment you look into his eyes from afar.

that was so scary

– He’s not like that.

‘I know.’

Know. Even so

, he knew that he was not the kind of person who would only care about these things and spit out resentful sounds

.

Even so, for some reason, he hides and avoids it.

It’s not as bad as I hoped so much.

snap.

As I walked through the rain-soaked streets.

I was out of the city and into the woods.

With the people who were scattered all over the streets.

Their voices that filled your ears are gone.

Only then was I able to breathe.

“Haa… haa…”

The woman thinks as she breathes.

In the end, I couldn’t even say a word.

I wanted to tell you how you’ve been.

It seemed that the ugly self couldn’t even do that properly.

just watching from afar.

That was all.

‘I tried so hard…’

The woman held on to the tree and looked up at her hand, breathing heavily.

The white and fine palms that were said to be beautiful are full of calluses.

It was a product of hard work.

back.

I looked at my palms and clenched my fists.

-What are you thinking about now?

He did not respond to what was being said.

What should I do?

[Many people will pay attention to you when you go out.]

This is a conversation I had with my grandfather before coming.

To be honest, I couldn’t even call it a conversation.

He didn’t say anything, he just listened.

[My grandfather is worried about that. I hope, Seol-ah, that you will not set foot outside the world. It can’t be done, but J

is saying that you can’t tie it anymore.

as your grandfather wishes.

The woman silently followed.

So, the grandfather had to admit this as well.

By the time the seal that my grandfather had longed for was over.

God said to the woman.

[It won’t be the same as before. You won’t be used to the regained presence, and you’ll feel uncomfortable with your body because you reduced the bowl.] It’s

true.

The woman had to feel countless discomforts.

Unlike before, the body feels weak.

The unknown aura was difficult to control.

God bless you.

Even his weakened body is extremely strong compared to others.

What makes me feel energized now.

Originally, it was so vast that I couldn’t catch it all.

After reducing it a little, he said that he was feeling it only then.

So the woman asked.

Why do you have to do this?

If the original was better, wouldn’t there be a need for this?

God answers this.

-Your grandfather seems to want you to live as a human being.

What does it mean.

Even now, the woman could not understand it well.

he is human

It was said that he was a human being like him who was born and grew up in his heart.

Not understanding this, he asked another woman in her body that night to speak.

At that time, she had no answer.

To say that he is not human.

That said, she never got an answer.

Whatever it was.

After the physical energy was blocked even if it was unstable.

Only then was she able to practice the training she had longed for.

During the day, I receive training from my grandfather.

At night, the lack of swordsmanship is filled by others.

Is it fun to wield the sword you longed for?

Actually I don’t know.

It would be correct to say there is no inspiration.

The purpose of deciding to learn the sword in the first place was different.

Silently, I just wield it.

The martial arts my grandfather taught me were beautiful.

Because the moonlight penetrated the sword.

Was it called the Wolseonmu Sword?

first.

The moment I saw the sword wielded by my grandfather under the moonlight.

At that time, it was so beautiful that I was completely fascinated.

It wasn’t bad enough to be a driving force, though.

Half a year to hold the sword and swing it to shine.

Moonlight penetrated the woman’s sword so easily.

He showed it as if he was proud of it, and I remember seeing his grandfather with sad eyes.

Why did you have eyes like that? I didn’t know.

I didn’t want to know.

The woman continued to wield the sword from that day on.

just steady.

without rest.

I also reduced my sleep if I could.

For some reason, I no longer felt the craving for food.

Is it because he doesn’t exist?

Or, as God’s Faith said, thanks to the pretext of sealing.

I didn’t know if it stopped the embarrassing appetite.

Then one day.

I felt a different feeling in my body and asked my grandfather.

The woman told me that she had crossed the wall.

It was a story about just over a year after holding the sword.

The moonlight shines on the blade.

After my grandfather jumped over the wall.

Soon after, a change took place in the woman’s body.

It seemed that energy had penetrated his eyes, and they were colored gold.

His dark brown hair was also gradually turning golden.

The body grows rapidly.

I came to have a body different from the past.

The cheeks he used to touch because he felt good had already disappeared without a trace.

If those who remembered her saw it.

A change enough to not know who it is for a while.

She really hated it.

Yes, it would have been nice if it was the same as before.

So that it is easy to recognize him.

詎 My dear…

The tone you feel is full of regret.

I feel like that voice is sincere.

The woman didn’t believe her.

Around the time I started practicing my sword. From the time I started having a dream at night.

together.

.

.

From the point of realizing that the dream was her memory.

The woman could no longer trust her.

Fighting.

The rain that fell through the dense forest.

Wet the clothes along the woman’s thin shoulder line.

Meanwhile, the woman did not move.

It was because his footsteps were heavy, as if he were carrying a weight.

-What are you going to do now? I wanted to see you that way.

‘…’

I missed you.

I wanted to see the eyes looking at me.

I missed the blunt hands that stroked my hair.

Together.

The courage did not come out easily.

‘Is it okay…?’

Even if you face him like this.

Are you okay?

The woman was afraid of it.

In the gap between biting my lips in the soaking rain.

Hoo-wook.

The woman turned around in surprise at the heat she felt behind her back.

Chi profit.

The sound of the water soaking the floor evaporating in the heat can be heard.

When I turned my back, someone was shaking my body, blowing hot steam all over my body.

“Where are you going to come and see? It annoys people and makes them run.”

” .ah.”

Unlike the last time I saw it.

It’s a slightly thicker voice.

Although I watched it from a distance.

It seems a bit taller.

It seems to have grown a bit bigger.

The eyes were still fierce, though.

When you face the eyes and emotions that are in it .

I feel like my stomach is getting warmer.

‘no.’

Even while thinking about it, the woman pulled the bloody robe that was covering her face a little more.

Because I didn’t want to show it.

how did you follow

I purposely blended in with people and disappeared.

did you draw the heat?

Water was evaporating from the body, creating heat.

Was it because he ran so fast?

His eyes were stained red as proof that I had raised my spirits.

that buck

“.. !”

see one step closer.

Although the woman trembled,

As if not caring about this, he moved in front of the woman.

‘Is it dry?’

This is the impression I met after a long time.

Unlike before, I could see that the lines of the body were being held.

In addition, it is seen that the sword is attached to the waist dance.

It seems that he is really learning the sword from the Sword Master.

Going one step

The boy flinched and took a step backwards.

Seeing that, I was the first to speak.

“If you jump again, I’ll follow you until I die to catch you, so just stay still.”

I see you are taken aback by my words.

I must have tried to run away again.

Of course, I had no intention of missing it just because I ran away again.

What were you so afraid of?

The guy tries to cover his face more with what he’s wearing.

“Didn’t you come to see me earlier? Where are you going?”

no

cue answer

didn’t care

I just approached slowly.

“I don’t even answer saying it’s been a while. Or do you not want to talk to me?”

“ .no.”

I spit it out bluntly.

Only then could I hear the voice.

It sounds like you’ve matured a bit.

It wasn’t that different from the voice that remained in my memory.

Before I knew it, the distance became a distance that I could reach if I stretched out my hand.

I can see that your shoulders are shaking from the cold.

In the meantime, I had to soothe my exhausted breath.

‘Why is it so fast?’

Half of the bet on chasing only seems bitter.

That’s why I had to raise my spirits and find this guy.

I didn’t even know how to bet because I used my energy to keep up with how fast I was running again.

I feel tired after a long time.

still.

‘I got it.’

followed without missing.

That’s it.

Seruk.

One step closer.

flinch.

The boy’s shoulders tremble.

‘From what.’

what should i ask

Do I have to ask why he left behind only one letter?

If not, how have you been?

Why did you jump as soon as you saw me?

why are you here

why are you shaking so much Where is it that it hurts?

Although there were so many things I wanted to ask.

Leaving thousands of thoughts behind.

The words that came out of my mouth were different.

“long time no see.”

“.. !”

For some reason, he is surprised by my words.

The trembling shoulders stopped.

It felt like the head I had been avoiding was slowly returning to this side.

“how have you been doing?”

“Ah… uh…”

The voice hesitated as if he couldn’t answer properly.

I never thought it would be a reunion like this.

“I’ve been pretty good.”

Of course, accidents happened and we got engaged.

It was also possible to turn other humans into demons.

Your body is in good shape , so you must be right .

There were many things I wanted to say.

I felt that what I have to say now is enough.

Reached out.

Although the cold raindrops were very annoying.

It’s enough to dry that mess later.

Carefully show your palms and stretch them out.

only then A

white

hand rises above my hand. I had to wait for this too, hesitating and hesitating for a while.

As a result, it was fine.

I watched it come up and grabbed it slowly.

I didn’t hold tight.

To the extent of holding it in moderation.

That should be enough.

“It would be nice if I could show you my face, but I haven’t seen you in a long time and you’re not going to show me?”

Peek smiled and spit out the words.

The boy showed a hint of hesitation.

Why are you covering your face like that?

I wondered if it was because he wanted me to see it without knowing.

If you really think so, you are very mistaken.

It was a really big mistake.

no matter how much time passes

‘Cause there’s no way I won’t recognize you

I hesitated for a while.

The other hand that is not holding the arm rises.

Then he grabbed the thing covering his face and pulled it slightly.

Gyeru –1

Pulling down little by little, it flows down.

The hidden face comes into view.

With trembling eyes as if anxious.

Even so, in the eyes of the face.

I smiled unconsciously.

“long time no see.”

And then he spat out the same words as before. Now

I thought

that the meaning of the words would be properly reached.

“long time no see.”

finally gave me an answer.

Tuduk.

Dam…

The feeling of the shower dampening my shoulders diminishes.

it gradually decreased

At some point, I didn’t feel it.

Winter rain that had been falling all day long.

It was over now.
