Relife Player 593

[Chapter 159]

[Rainy day (2)]

Before returning.

It rained that day.

At the same time, it was the day when the announcement of admission to the High School Academy entrance exam was scheduled.

… I passed.

Eunha was notified that she had been accepted for admission to the High School Academy.

After finishing school, he went home and tried to tell his grandmother.

Just a little… .

I guess I can repay my grandmother.

The nominal reason he supported the Player Academy was to kill the monsters that murdered his family.

But let’s dig deeper.

He also wanted to repay his grandmother, who raised him alone in his old age after losing his family.

Maybe, that feeling was big.

All this time, I’ve been worrying about my grandmother.

now… , I should tell you that you don’t have to worry.

At that time, admission to the High Academy was important to Eunha.

It was a clearing up of the past when I lived with my emotions closed off to people.

It would be an opportunity for him to live for his grandmother who loved him on behalf of his family.

But─.

─Shoo!

That day when it rained torrentially.

After returning home, Eunha lost the meaning of life again.

My grandmother passed away.

“—I offer my sincere condolences.”

“…yes.”

After that, my memories were blurry.

There weren’t that many relatives who visited the funeral home.

Most of them were people who had almost cut off ties when their grandmother took over Eunha.

Moreover, there were very few of my grandmother’s acquaintances who she had kept in touch with until then, and some of them had passed away before her.

Therefore, the only thing that Eunha remembers was guarding a funeral home where there were not many people.

“…….”

Just blankly.

Eunha just stared blankly at her grandmother’s portrait.

What were you thinking at that time?

Eunha didn’t remember.

However, there was one thing that I remembered at that time─.

“—How does that kid not cry when his grandmother passed away? Did you see it earlier? He doesn’t have the face of a child and he reacts bluntly and without a soul….”

“Anyway, it’s a big deal. Since his guardian is no longer there, should we take charge of him and raise him…?”

“Don’t be scary. I have absolutely no desire to bring a child like that into my home.”

“If you’re 17, you’re all grown up. Now you’re old enough to live on your own. What do you think you need help with?”

“I heard you got into the Players Academy. That’s a good thing. I heard all the students there live in a dormitory. But it must have cost money to live there… I heard you didn’t get support from a business group, right?”

“The deceased had some money. He probably had some leftover insurance money from his parents, and he also had a house….”

“Hmm… If we take charge of the galaxy, will all the money come to us?

” “Let’s just stay still… . Eunha will end up going to the academy anyway, and Ji can take care of everything now, so child support won’t be that much… .”

“”””… … .””””

“Well, let’s talk about that later. Do we really have to talk about that here? People don’t really acknowledge it….”

“You can’t live in this world with just recognition. Why are you saying the obvious? You’re just pretending to be noble…”

“Anyway, he’s so gloomy. I want to take good care of him, but I can’t because he’s so gloomy. It gives me goosebumps.”

The sound of those who were mourning the death of their grandmother whispering among themselves.

They may have thought he wouldn’t hear.

As he was blankly looking at his grandmother’s portrait, he heard their voices particularly clearly.

So, I closed my heart again.

─Now there is no one on my side in this world anymore.

In that way, her grandmother’s passing meant a great deal to Eunha.

And time goes by.

And go back in time.

─Shoo!

My grandmother’s death occurred three years later than in her previous life.

It was time to enter the High School Academy, and Eunha, who had been paying attention to her grandmother’s health, gradually let go of her worries as time went by.

Grandma will live a long time.

Eunha, who began to have such thoughts at some point, had to go through the death of her grandmother without even being able to prepare her heart.

I knew you would die someday, but… . Still, it’s a bit sudden.

I was expecting it though.

As the expected future became reality, Eunha felt as if all her thoughts were paralyzed.

I didn’t think anything of it.

Just, just─.

─Grandma is dead.

I just wondered if that was the case.

Eunha was just as blank as before.

It rained that day too.

☆

My grandmother passed away.

At first, the family shed tears when they saw the deceased grandmother sitting in a rocking chair, seemingly sleeping comfortably.

But after I stopped crying, I looked at my grandmother and smiled.

My grandmother was a wealthy merchant.

People were bound to die someday.

After enjoying all of her heavenly life, my grandmother left for another world.

“—I’m glad you had a good time. It would be a good thing if you had a snack in your sleep, right?”

“I’m glad you went away comfortably. As for my father….”

“I’m sure you went to a good place. So don’t worry too much.”

So the people who visited the funeral rarely shed tears.

It was the same with my family.

Sometimes, my mother or Euna would wipe away tears as they greeted people, perhaps because they were remembering their grandmother.

However, he quickly stopped crying and politely welcomed people.

“—You guys are here. Welcome.”

“Captain, are you really okay?” “I called the kids. Minho, Eunwoo, and the others are planning to come tomorrow.”

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

Compared to my previous life.

The mortuary was crowded with people.

To be honest, Eunha was busy dealing with the mourners.

I had to talk to people I didn’t even know who they were.

Meanwhile, my friends came to visit.

Eunhyuk Choi, Minji Kim, Seona Jin.

As soon as the three heard the news, they rushed over and gathered around Eunha.

“Thank you for coming. You didn’t have to come, but you came….” “What are you talking about, Captain? Since it’s a place like this, of course we should come.”

“Don’t say things you don’t mean.” “Yes, that’s right. Of course this should come. Don’t say things like that.” “…thank you.”

Eunhyuk Choi is very worried.

Minji Kim speaks clearly.

Jin Seo-na is very considerate.

Eunha relaxed her stern face after hearing her friends’ concerns.

Then, Eunha moved her gaze over her friends’ shoulders.

“—Are you here?” “yes I’m fine?”

“It’s okay. Thanks for coming.”

“Are you really…are you okay? Did you sleep? Take care of yourself too….”

“Not even a day has passed yet. Still… I’ll try to sleep on time.”

Jeong Ha was standing there with a worried expression.

She squeezed Eunha’s hand.

“oh my god….”

“Why are you crying, Hayang?”

“but….”

“It was a good thing. It’s nothing to cry about.”

Then, Jeongha bursts into tears.

Eunha gently comforted her as her eyes turned red.

Soon she sniffled and wiped her eyes.

“By the way, what about Bingu?”

“That’s right. Where is Blue?”

“He’s inside right now. Please take care of him more than me. He hasn’t said anything since a while ago.” “…Okay, okay. I have to go see Blue’s brother quickly. Eunha, are you going to stay here?”

“If you guys go in, I have to go in too.”

Under the guidance of the galaxy.

The friends were led to the place where the grandmother’s portrait was located.

Friends who greeted the family dressed in black mourning clothes shed tears when they saw the portrait of the grandmother.

“──Thank you for coming…”

Jinparang bowed deeply and muttered in a hushed voice.

The black mourning clothes did not suit him at all, so he just stared at the floor.

No matter what his friends said to him, Jinparang kept quiet as much as possible.

“You guys didn’t eat, right? Let’s go eat together with Blue and Eunha. And thank you so much for coming.”

Was that a sad sight?

Euna wiped her eyes and spoke to her friends.

Quick-witted Minji and Seo-na quickly grabbed Jinpa-rang’s arms and forced him to stand up from his seat.

“I said I don’t have to eat it….”

“Don’t do that, let’s go, brother. Huh?”

“Just for us to eat? Normally, Bingu oppa has to eat this together. Let’s go quickly!”

“Eunha, you go too.”

“Yes, Captain!”

The friends tried to force Eunha and Jinparang away.

In the end, unable to overcome their friends, they had to leave the funeral home and eat.

Meanwhile, Avenir sat down on the floor and just looked up at the portrait.

“─Mom.”

“Yeah. Why are you doing that?”

“You can’t see your grandmother anymore…?”

“…….”

I didn’t cry though.

Avenir expressed his condolences in his own way.

☆

It was late in the evening.

While my friends took a seat to one side, offering to stay the night with me.

After that, other friends came to visit, and among them was Seohyun Han.

“—I offer my sincere condolences.” “…Thank you for coming.”

As soon as Han Seohyun arrived.

People who were playing Hwatu on one side were startled and stood up from their seats.

They were my father’s acquaintances.

In other words, the people of Sirius Group.

They showed courtesy to Han Seohyun, and she nodded to them and bowed to Eunha’s family.

“Actually, my sister and father wanted to come together… but I thought it would get too messy if we did that, so I came as their representative.”

“No, the chairman has to work. Yes, thank you for coming, Seohyun.”

Han Seohyun had a conversation with her family.

After some conversation, she soon approached Eunha.

“did you eat?”

“I ate with the kids earlier.”

“kids?” “Friends. Hayang is with us too.” “Oh, I see.”

Han Seohyun asked in a soft tone.

Eunha shrugged her shoulders and pointed to a corner with her chin.

She turned her head and made eye contact with Eunha’s friends, including Hayang.

They both bowed their heads awkwardly.

“Have you had dinner?” “Come right after work…”

“Let’s go. If you come, you should eat something.”

Eunha brought Han Seohyun out.

As we sat facing each other in the empty seats, the staff prepared the table.

She then touched the food─.

“—Now.” “…Even if I ate it?”

“You’re saying you ate well even though your face is half full.”

“When did I become one half….”

“Eat a lot. You like to eat.”

“I’m full….”

“I know you’re not full. Eat.”

“after….”

Seohyun Han’s coercive recommendation.

Eunha had no choice but to take the food she gave him.

In fact, when Eunha ate with her friends a little while ago, she didn’t even drink a few spoonfuls.

Because I had no intention of forcing myself to eat.

I just drank alcohol.

But Han Seohyun must have seen through it, and forced food into Eunha’s mouth.

“But is it okay for you to come this late? Don’t you have to go to work tomorrow too?”

It was during summer vacation.

Han Seo-hyun was helping Han Seo-yeon with her work and doing management work.

That’s why she was busier during the vacation period than during the semester.

So Eunha was worried about her coming late at night and spending time there.

But she─.

“—I decided to take a break this week.” “Is that okay?”

“The ownership is with my father, and the manager is my sister. Who can say anything to me? I just rest when I want to.”

“…….”

“So I decided to stay here until the funeral is over.”

“what?”

Han Seohyun speaks calmly.

Eunha couldn’t believe her ears.

“You don’t have to do that….”

“I’m not married, but if you think about it, I’m part of your family too. More than anything…, it’s because I want to do that.”

“…….”

They told me not to feel burdened.

Han Seohyun said to Eunha.

She said she even brought toiletries in case she stayed up all night.

“My father said that there is nothing good about getting married already, but… I still want to do it.”

“…Okay. I’ll tell mom.”

Han Seohyun’s attitude was stubborn.

In the end, Eunha raised her hand.

It was natural to feel grateful to her.

“But is there a room?” “There is one room that the women share, but it will be a bit narrow.”

“It doesn’t matter. It’s just the size of the room. But did the kids over there decide to stay the night, too?” “Oh, that’s right. Eunhyuk, Minji, and Seona said they would spend until tomorrow and then take turns with the other kids, and they all decided to attend the funeral ceremony. Hayang said they would stay like this until the funeral ceremony….”

In his previous life, he guarded the mortuary almost alone.

However, in this life, there were many people guarding the mortuary, so it was difficult.

Eunha felt very grateful when she heard that her friends took turns spending the night with her.

“Then it would be better to say hello to those kids… It’s okay to formally exchange greetings at a place like this, but…”

“Let’s go. I’ll introduce you.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

We spend the night together.

However, Han Seohyun did not know any other friends besides Eunha and Hayang.

They were supposed to know of each other’s existence, but they had never talked to each other until now.

Therefore, Eunha was considerate of Han Seohyun and took her to her friends.

They must have been paying attention to the two people at the right time, so they greeted me without embarrassment.

“—Hello.”

“Sister, welcome.”

“””…….”””

While Jeongha welcomes you.

Minji Kim, Seona Jin, and Eunhyuk Choi.

The three people looked at each other.

And then they all agreed…

“””─Hello…”””

The three people greeted each other awkwardly.

☆

It rained the next day too.

When I opened my eyes to the sound of rain.

Eunha stood up without feeling any fatigue.

Shoot ahhh

The sound of dawn beating.

All my friends were asleep.

Eunha left the funeral, making noise so as not to wake them up.

I had no particular intention of going anywhere.

I just wanted to get some air.

“…the weather is really cloudy.”

Soon, Eunha came out of the funeral home and muttered that.

I squatted down on the stairs and looked up at the cloudy sky under the roof.

“Is it going to rain tomorrow too?”

That shouldn’t happen.

Eunha muttered in her mouth and was still not thinking about anything.

I hated thinking about it.

Meanwhile, a part of my chest felt strangely tight.

But he couldn’t figure out the cause of his feelings.

“If you live as long as three years… that’s it.”

It’s been a while since I wanted to smoke a cigarette.

I returned and never smoked.

I didn’t smoke it because Euna didn’t like it, but I felt like I should smoke it today.

So I thought about buying cigarettes from the convenience store at the funeral home.

… no.

Let’s just stay.

Everything was annoying.

Eunha, who was about to get up, decided to continue sitting on the stairs.

I decided to see if it would rain.

When will this rain stop?

Come to think of it… .

Even before I returned, my grandmother passed away and it rained for three days straight.

It wasn’t even the rainy season at that time.

Eunha suddenly remembered the past and fell into the past.

Deeper, deeper.

Down, further down.

I fell into a deep sea full of all kinds of emotions, so much so that I couldn’t tell where the bottom was.

So he forgot his feelings to protect himself.

In the end, I tried to close the door to my heart.

Right then─.

“—Oppa, what are you doing here?”

“ah….”

A voice that suddenly rescued Eunha, who was falling into an unknown depth of sea.

Eunha suddenly came to her senses.

When I looked up, my younger sister was sitting next to me, smiling brightly.

“Are you awake? Sleep some more.”

“I couldn’t sleep. So I came out to get some fresh air! What about you?”

“…I also came out to get some air.”

Noh Eun-ae speaks with a bright voice.

Eunha spoke with her younger sister and smiled bitterly.

“The sound of rain is so nice, right?”

“…is it?”

“Close your eyes and listen. The sound is so pretty.”

It seemed like Eun-ae had no intention of leaving.

Eunha had no choice but to close her eyes as her younger sister chattered next to her.

crackling

It was a simple sound of rain.

The sound of raindrops hitting something.

Until I hear the next words.

“—Whenever it rained, my grandmother would close her eyes like this and listen to the sound.” “…….”

“He had a really happy face when he heard the sound of rain. So I was curious so I asked him a question.” “…what?”

“Grandma, why do you like the sound of rain? I asked her, and there it is—.”

What is my sister trying to say?

Eunha opened her eyes and asked her.

Eun-ae had her eyes closed.

She turned her head and showed him a smiling face.

Then he said:

“—They say it’s nice to be able to put a comma. I can put a comma in my past life and get lost in old thoughts or give myself time to rest.”

“…….”

“They say that if people keep their eyes open, they will eventually collapse from exhaustion. So sometimes, they say that you have to close your eyes and take a break to catch your breath.” “…….”

“That’s why I like listening to the sound of rain. You can relax without doing anything, and the sound of rain is so pretty.”

“…….”

“So, brother, get some rest too. You didn’t eat much last night and didn’t sleep well, right?”

“It’s not….”

“Everyone else knows, but as a younger sister, don’t you know? You don’t have to lie to me like that.”

Noh Eun-ae extends her hand.

Eunha stayed still.

Then she reached out her hand and stroked his hair as if tousled it.

“My brother lives so hard. When I look at him, it seems like he just keeps his eyes open all the time.”

“…….”

“It’s not a bad thing to live hard, but you still have to rest when you have time. You need to take a break, too.”

“is it…?”

“Of course! How can a person live without resting and being short of breath? Sometimes, you need to take a break and look back on the path you have taken and the path ahead to recharge!” “…….”

“Now! Close your eyes again and now you only hear the sound of the rain. You don’t listen to any other sounds.”

crackling

It’s raining.

Eunha closed her eyes.

The younger sister got up from her seat, went behind Eunha, and hugged his neck.

Eunha listened intently.

crackling

Put a comma.

At this moment, I pay attention to the sound of rain and shake off all distracting thoughts.

In the silence, the sound of hitting the ground and the unique smell of rain comfort him.

At that time, Eun-ae whispered in my ear.

“─You can cry when you want to cry.”

“…….”

“Everyone else cried because my grandmother passed away, but you haven’t cried yet.”

“Really… is that okay?” “Sure!”

It’s okay to cry.

Upon hearing those words, Eunha stopped.

He never tried to cry until now.

If I cry, I’m afraid I’ll be seen as weak.

If I cry, I’m afraid I’ll just break down.

I desperately held back my tears.

As I lived such a life, I almost forgot how to cry.

But Eun-ae seemed to have read his mind.

“—If you’re sad, you can just cry. You don’t have to hold it in. People can cry.”

“……!”

“Oppa, let’s put a comma too. You can cry without holding back. I’ll give you permission!”

Soon, Eun-ae, who had been hugging Eun-ha from behind, moved to stand in front of him.

Eunha, who was still being held by her little sister for a while, now reached out her hand for her to hug her.

“It was hard to keep holding on for so long, wasn’t it?”

His sister hugged him.

Eunha, hugged by her younger sister, gently nodded in her arms.

She stroked Eunha’s head.

“It’s okay to cry on a day like today. It’s raining right now. It’s like telling your brother to rest.” “huh….”

“It’s obvious that my grandmother keeps making it rain so that I can rest for my brother!”

“What is it….”

Nonsense.

Eunha giggled.

And while being held by my sister.

He closed his eyes and focused on the sound of rain.

I let go of everything I had, one by one.

I looked back at the path I had taken.

One by one, I unraveled the emotions that could not be put into words.

crackling

It’s raining.

Eun-ae patted Eun-ha on the back.

All sounds were drowned out by the sound of rain.

All the emotions flowed somewhere, mixed with the rain.

“—It’s okay. You can cry. I’ll keep your crying a secret.”

Listening to my sister’s consolation.

Eunha hugged her for a long time.

Like I was a child, just like that.

Shoot ahhh

A sound as if something deep inside my chest was being washed away.

Oh, I see.

It was only then that Eunha realized.

─You can cry, right?

In my previous life, I held my emotions tight and lived until I died.

But he decided not to do that anymore.

crackling

I felt like I finally understood.

He should have done this even before returning.

I cry and lose my family.

I cried so hard because I lost my grandmother.

After all the crying, I should have found a new reason to live.

Sometimes I had to take a comma and reflect on the path ahead.

Rather than just trying to move forward by overworking yourself until you die.

Above all─.

─Thank you so much.

I had to thank my grandmother.

Don’t just sit there blankly.

Shoot ahhh

19 years since I returned.

Although I came back too late.

Eunha belatedly expressed her true feelings.

I prayed for my grandmother’s peace.
