[Chapter 058]

[When the fox rain stops (11)]

“Can’t we go in too?”

“What are you talking about! You guys are here. Don’t you know that if you rush around like this, you could be a nuisance to other patients?”

Minji scolded the children gathered in the parking lot of Alice Hospital.

Eunha looked around at the nearly 100 children and sighed.

things got bigger

At first, I was planning to take only the children who wanted to see Seo-na in the class.

In the past, the classmates who fell for Yeom Jae-jin’s instigation wanted to ask Seo-na for forgiveness.

While most of the children raised their hands to visit the hospital, children who were friends with Seo-na heard the news and even came to visit.

I had no choice but to take it.

I hope Eunhyuk doesn’t come up with a new idea at that time.

“Why don’t we plan a surprise event?” “A surprise event?”

“Can you do that at the hospital?”

“I’ll ask my grandfather.”

Everything flowed in an instant.

Hayang, who received permission from Alice Group chairman Min Jun-sik, further raised the plate here.

In this way, we have reached the present.

“What are you going to do from now on?”

Eun-ha talked to Min-ji, who shouted at the children to be quiet.

Currently, Hayang was walking around the hospital room with the children of affiliates to ask for the understanding of the patients.

In the meantime, someone had to stop by Serna’s hospital room to carry out the plan.

“You and Eunhyuk Choi went up. I’ll make sure the kids don’t be noisy here.”

“Can you not go in?”

“I’m done.”

Minji shrugged.

Eunha noticed that she was embarrassed.

Even if she gathered the children to oppose Seo-Na’s expulsion, she still seemed to feel sorry for Seo-Na.

It had to be.

Because her mother took a stance of denying Serna’s existence.

… Maybe time will solve it

Eunha couldn’t help it either.

She has no choice but to wait for the passage of time to fade the feelings she has been through.

“And if you meet White on the way to see Seo-na, tell her to come to the entrance. There are some things that cannot be done without White.”

“Okay. Then I’ll be back.”

Eunha nodded and looked for Eunhyuk among the boys.

On the way back, Eunhyuk, who cherished the bouquet he bought at the flower shop, followed him.

“I’ll go to the hospital room after I find White. You go first.” “Me first?”

“I have to send the signal anyway, and you won’t be able to ease my mood.”

Even if Choi Eun-hyeok had a clumsy side, he had a strange talent for softening the hearts of others.

Especially for Serena.

You can do just fine on your own.

“Okay. See you later.” “uh.”

Eun-hyeok left him behind as he set out to find Hayang.

Seo-na was hospitalized in a hospital room on the 5th floor.

“Jin Seo-na. Am I going in?”

Finding the hospital room was not difficult.

In fact, he had a history of going in and out of the hospital room avoiding the nurses’ surveillance even when Seo-na’s visits were limited.

He knocked on the door and went inside after a moment of silence.

“Are you here again?”

“The other kids are here today too. They’ll be back a little later.”

“okay.”

After Seo-na was admitted to Alice Hospital, she did not want to leave the hospital room.

He said he was afraid to meet people.

It was a story he had heard from her, who was shocked by his sudden visit one day.

“Did you eat?”

“Are you Sister Maria? You ate all today, okay?”

Serena answered in a sullen tone.

When Eunhyuk saw her receiving the bouquet, he felt mixed.

I got more emaciated while I didn’t see it.

Even emptying the plate didn’t help.

Recently, it was a yard where I was vomiting after eating.

“Do you have anything to eat?”

“Macaron. I want to eat the macaron Eunha gave me the other day.”

“…I’ll ask the captain later.”

“It’s okay. Just kidding. You don’t have to.”

Serena laughed out loud.

I felt like I was in a good mood today.

“Huh? Is it raining?”

Suddenly a shower fell.

It was raining in broad daylight.

Approaching the window, Eunhyuk looked down at the children gathered in front of the entrance.

The children were wandering around in the sudden rain.

I didn’t know if I would be able to do it as planned.

“…It’s a big deal.”

“What’s the big deal?” “Nothing.”

Eunhyuk turned around as if nothing had happened.

invisible from this distance

First of all, he decided to go outside to revise his plans.

Just then, a vase with the flowers I had brought the other day caught my eye.

“I’ll get you some water in the vase.”

“Yeah, go slowly.”

“I’ll be right back.”

Eunhyuk made an excuse and left the hospital room.

Serena waved her hand helplessly.

I thought it would be better to hurry back even for the sake of her lack of energy.

“Choi Eunhyuk. Where are you going?”

“Huh? Captain? Jung

There is also white.”

“I told Seo-Na to go, but why are you here?” “It’s raining, so I thought I’d have to revise my plan… so I was going to talk to Minji.”

“rain?”

Hayang tilted his head.

When Eunha and White walked to the window, it was raining outside.

“Since it’s a shower, I think it’ll stop soon. We just need to wait a bit.”

“If that doesn’t work, I’ll deploy a protective magic. We’ll be able to avoid the rain for a while.” “…Is that okay?”

White spat out.

Eunha stuck out her tongue.

Putting up a barrier outside the hospital wasn’t too difficult.

It just needs a lot of mana to keep it that size.

He confirmed the mana in her body and looked at her with an envious gaze.

“Eunha, why?”

“…no.”

Jung Ha-yang, feeling his gaze and asking with a smile.

He seemed to have no idea how vast the amount of mana was in his body and its value.

“Jeongha, you go downstairs and wait for me to give you a signal. Eunhyuk, come with me.”

“Yeah! Are you trying to kill time? Leave it to me!”

“Fill the vase with water first.”

Eunha pointed to the vase.

He took Ha-yang into the elevator and headed to Seo-na’s hospital room.

And in Serena’s hospital room—.

“—Where did he go?”

“uh?”

There was no one.

It was raining outside the window.

☆

Triangular ears protruding from the top of the head.

A tail that looks like a neatly gathered brush.

Lastly, red eyes reminiscent of monsters.

I am different from others.

By the time I realized that fact, I was young enough to have vague memories.

‘My mother did it. She said that after sleeping for a thousand days, her mother would definitely pick her up!

‘My uncle said the same thing as your mother! If you’re kind, I’ll definitely come pick you up!’

The cases in which the children lived in the church were divided into two categories.

Cases of being abandoned at church when you were a baby to the point that you can’t even remember your parents, and cases of being led into church by someone’s hand.

A child who belongs to the former class regards the people who live in the church as brothers or parents, but a child who belongs to the latter group usually does not.

Even though the children knew they had been abandoned by their parents, they held on to the hope that their parents would one day pick them up.

I’ve always wondered about that.

The reason why I shouted that I was different from us while thinking about the memories I had with my parents.

In the end, it is an unchanging fact that he was abandoned by his parents.

Are parents really that great?

I was also a little envious.

They have memories of being with their parents who sent them into the world.

‘Sister Maria, why did my mom and dad abandon me?’

So I asked.

At that time, Sister Maria frowned as if she had heard an annoying confession.

‘What is he talking about eating sweet potatoes? Whoever throws it away.’

‘It’s okay to throw it away. We know everything.’

‘Your mother is me, and your father is me. Who and where did you abandon you?’

‘… … .’

Sister Maria was like this.

Hearing that, I couldn’t ask why I had to be abandoned.

But the day came when I found out why.

And the day when I realize how hard it is to live in this world that I am different from others.

‘I don’t think I’ve heard of Ajin here?’

‘We want to adopt a child, not a monster’s child.’

‘I’d rather sell it in the underground market. Ain with a fox as a base is rare, so it will be traded expensively by lovers. It must be fortunate that I can find a place to feed and sleep that child.’

‘Huh, really… . To think that the world was over, these perverts openly come to the orphanage to adopt a child… . I can’t do it, you should just get hit.’

On that day, people who came to adopt me found me among the children and clicked their tongues.

The gaze that avoided me and was reluctant as if I saw something I shouldn’t have seen.

The gaze that made me infinitely shrink as if I had done something wrong.

Lastly, the gaze slowly scanned from top to bottom as if valuing the product.

That day I realized how wrong it was to be different.

‘Jinseo-na, why are you crying because you did something wrong? What’s wrong with you?’

Sister Maria scolded me for crying so hard and hugged me.

Sister Maria said.

I was abandoned in front of a church wrapped in swaddling clothes on my birthday.

The only thing he knew about me was a note with the name Seo Nara written on it.

Sister Maria said.

So, this church is where I live, my mother and father are the adults who live in the church, and my brothers and sisters are the children of the church.

No matter how harshly the world treats me, my life is right here, so never give up.

‘You deserve to be happy.

I swear on behalf of God that your mother died in this world.’

I used those words as a prop.

To overcome no matter how hard it is.

Reminds me of the people who love me at church every time I get tired.

And I will live with gratitude to the children who have become friends with me.

The truth is, Sister.

no, mom.

I don’t even want happiness.

I wish I could live a quiet life.

By the way—

‘—On the topic of monsters.’

It’s so hard to live.

How long do you have to endure it?

How much do I have to give up my greed?

I don’t have much to ask for… .

‘Where’s the monster baby… .’

mom.

The truth is, living is so hard.

I don’t think I can stand it any longer.

I guess I don’t have the right to be happy.

“…it rains a lot.”

The rain got stronger.

Even though the sky is so clear.

“…”

got up from the seat

approached the window.

Children with familiar faces were running into the hospital.

What are those kids trying to do with me again?

Are you trying to make fun of me as a monster again?

“…If I jump down from here—”

-Do you want to die?

I had a sudden thought.

Then it might be easier.

“…”

It was dark ahead.

It was a day to live.

The more I tried to count the remaining time, the more I felt like I was standing on a precipice.

☆

Serena was nowhere to be seen.

You may have gone to the bathroom.

No, it’s not.

The bathroom was inside the hospital room.

“Don’t you know where you went?” “I don’t know where he went…”

Eunhyuk muttered as he looked at the bed Seona had been on just a moment ago.

Seo-na was not a child who would disappear without saying a word.

Unless it was urgent, he would have waited for his return or left a record.

An unknown feeling of anxiety crept in.

“Choi Eunhyuk! Where are you going!?”

Eunhyuk ran out of the hospital room as his intuition called out.

I heard Eunha calling from behind, but the thought of finding Serna came ahead.

Deployed the mana detection net.

“Kuh…!”

tongue-in-cheek

The conditions were so comprehensive that well over a dozen reactions caught the detection net.

It was the moment when I thought that it would be difficult to find Seo-na like this.

The only reaction that was detected from the rooftop was nerve-wracking.

Even though it was raining outside, there was someone on the roof.

Something was strange.

Judgment was quick.

I expressed the mana in my body and ran up the stairs to the roof.

“Jinseo!”

I almost pushed the door open.

Suddenly, a gust of wind accompanied the rain.

Raising his elbow to get a look, he spotted the girl in the rain.

“Stand up!”

called her name again.

The girl whose name was called pricked up her triangular ears.

Her hair, which had a soft golden hue, was wet from the rain and stuck to her cheeks.

“…Eunhyuk…ah….”

She sat down on the floor, wet from the rain, and looked back.

“As it is…, if I die like this… I thought it would all… be easier… I thought…! I didn’t have to… feel sorry for you guys… I thought… I thought…!”

Serena hiccups and hiccups.

I couldn’t tell if it was tears or raindrops running down my cheeks.

“…I can’t do it…uh! I don’t want to die…!”

One thing is clear: the water droplets on his shaking eyes did not come from the monster.

There’s no way that she who shook her shoulders so sadly was a monster.

no.

Eunhyuk took a step towards her.

It doesn’t matter if she’s a monster.

You just have to stand up.

Whoever it is, it should be Jinseo.

“…are you okay.”

Kneeling on the floor, Eunhyuk hugged her as her shoulders were shaking.

Seo-na groped with her hand on the floor as if she were dealing with an immaculate being.

“…Continued…, with Sister Maria…, with the church children…! And…I thought of you…! So…so…, so…, so…!”

The hand that had been groping with the palm of his hand caught the hem of his clothes.

Seo-na gave strength to the hand she was holding as if she would never let go.

“I…, I might… cause trouble… to you…, someday, someday… I… might… hate… I don’t know…!

“are you okay.”

Eunhyuk stroked her hair.

“I’m okay.”

The hand that desperately held onto the hem of his clothes loosened his grip.

“It’s okay. I want to be with you too.”

It was the most meaningless worry before and after the destruction of the world.

If you want to be together, just be together.

No qualifications required.

there’s no way i’ll hate it

There is no way it will cause trouble.

“You’re fine.”

Eunhyuk whispered in her ear.

could be sure

All my friends are of one accord.

“are you okay.”

The shaking has completely stopped.

Seo-na carefully moved the hand that was holding his chest behind his back.

“…are you okay?”

“It’s okay. I, the captain, Minji, and Hayang all like you.”

“Can I…, like everyone else…, be happy…?”

she asked, holding her breath.

“Why are you worrying about the obvious? You just have to be happy.”

“I’m Ain. …Still?”

“It doesn’t matter that you’re Ain. It’s important that you’re our friend. You can be happy. I promise you.”

“…”

Eunhyuk grabbed her shoulder.

He met her eyes and smiled like a bad boy.

“If you still can’t be happy, then I’ll share my happiness.”

“…Really…words? With pinky fingers, can you promise me?”

“Really! I’ll promise you with my little finger.”

Seo-na blinked red eyes and looked at him who nodded vigorously.

No more tears came out.

It wasn’t just tears.

The torrent of rain, which fell hard, became thin as if it never happened.

“Ah…! I think the preparations are finished.”

“preparation?”

Senna asked.

Eunhyuk stood her up.

Looking around, he led her towards the entrance to the hospital.

“Look down.”

“…uh?”

Seo-na looked down at her feet and widened her eyes.

In front of the entrance there were countless children gathered.

I saw Minji, and I saw White.

It wasn’t just the two of them.

One by one, I saw the kids who called themselves monsters and the kids who had been in the same class.

“Surprise! The kids said they wanted to apologize to you, so we decided to visit you today.”

Eunhyuk raised his arms wide open with his back against the barbed wire.

Right after that, colorful origami cranes were flying around.

like dancing

“…”

When I realized, it was not raining.

Hayang deployed a protective magic that covered the sky above the hospital in a hemispherical shape.

“Guys, let’s start! If the beat is wrong, I won’t let you go! One, two, three…!”

I heard Minji screaming loudly from below.

Before long, the children lined up in front of the parking lot started singing in chorus.

you are

to be loved

child

The sound of singing hit my ears.

Clinging close to the barbed wire, she looked up and met the eyes of the children who were singing.

“Can I really… be happy?”

“Do I have to tell you one more time?”

“…no.”

Serena shook her head.

There was no need to ask again.

Because this song was talking about it.

in your life

I’m getting that love

A song that I had to listen to almost every day at church, like a routine.

The lyrics, which I had never thought of before, hit my heart like this.

for you to be loved

child

that love even now

I’m receiving

So let’s listen to the song

let’s sing together

☆

“Ugh, Choi Eunhyuk, that, that… How could he not listen to me and run to the rooftop?”

In the middle of the day, I heard a song.

Two people were singing.

Eunha wasn’t careless enough to go to the rooftop like this.

Hiding behind the door, looking at Seo-na and Eun-hyuk, he clicked his tongue.

“Anyway, there’s barbed wire on the roof of the hospital, so there’s no chance anyone will fall off.”

Even as she said that, Eun-ha let go.

With a sigh of relief, he decided to leave them alone until the children came upstairs.

That didn’t mean he forgave Serena.

Whatever the reason, I couldn’t let go of the act of ending my own life even if I was scolded a hundred times.

just hold off for a while

until she settles down.

And before that-.

“—Now that you’ve made a fool of yourself, you have to make it clear.”

There was still work left to be done.
