31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 276)
“Wow….”
Chiu, who felt as if he was facing the palm of a Buddha and whose heart was about to burst from the immense pressure, had blood vessels all over his body, but soon darkened..
“What the hell is this… Ugh….”
Even Kang Seol had a changed memory..
- snowfall… I said?
- river… new year?
“Ughhh….”
This was Seolhong and Chiwoo’s reaction when they first learned of Kang Seol’s name..
It wasn't that much of a change, but it created something different..
‘I was prepared for the shock, but I never thought it would be this bad.….’
Perhaps Chi-woo and Seol-hong, who met Hye-myeong in person, would have suffered a more serious blow..
After a while, Chiu and Seolhong woke up and told me all the changed memories..
“Hyemyeong day... I was looking for you?”
Snowfall looked somewhere.
‘Hyemyeong, where are you now??’
The whereabouts of the 10 legendary people have all disappeared after their attempted ascension. There was no way to know what kind of life they were living..
‘No, maybe….’
Before leaving, Kang Seol recalled the promise he made with Mia..
- This... Please keep it with me?
- Yes, I will go pick it up at the promised place on the promised day..
- all right….
“promise….”
“Yes, that's right! We were supposed to meet Mia.?”
“here… Isn’t that the place??”
Kang Seol frowned and checked his surroundings..
“The terrain is similar to then.….”
“the house is gone….”
“No way, Mia….”
You broke a promise, couldn't remember a promise, or something went wrong..
With those thoughts in mind, I went down to the village and asked around..
‘Today is the last date we were supposed to meet..’
I didn't know how time would pass, so I promised I would definitely visit and set a fairly generous deadline, but somehow something went wrong, and the day I promised Mia came to an end..
‘no way… Is it out of alignment?….’
It was then.
“snowfall! This is it!”
Chiwoo said as he ran to where Snowfall was..
“A famous painter lives on this mountain.!”
“shoemaker?”
“huh! He opened an art studio and welcomed students, and he seems to be quite famous in the area..”
“that… When I came before….”
“That's right, there was no such person. Well, maybe I didn't hear about it at all because I wasn't interested, but... Anyway, something….”
“that's right….”
“Yeah, I think it's her..”
Kang Seol and his party went that way without stopping to the place where the art room was located..
If you miss the promised date, you never know what will happen..
To be honest, the snowfall was half excitement and half fear..
- Haha, I'll be waiting there too. then!
Hyemyeong also said she would come to see snowfall. If he kept his promise, she would stay with Mia..
‘What if Hyemyeong... If you come back….’
Isn’t that a scary thing?.
What happened to the ascension? The present is in a mess….
As the villagers said, there was a flower shop..
However, since it was late at night, I approached cautiously..
unusual door.
gulp…
I grabbed the doorknob and knocked on the door..
thud… thud…
After a while, there was a sign inside..
It's good…
“who….”
A woman with an eye patch appeared.
“…….”
“Black… black….”
“Mia, Mia?”
Mia said to Kang Seol and the others.
“…I've been waiting for you all along.”
Then, he pointed out each item one by one and called out their names..
“Kangseol, Seolhong, Chiwoo… Now I'm about the same age as you..”
Mia stopped crying and led them out..
“…Come on in.”
Snowfall asked what she was most curious about.
“Mia, Hyemyeong….”
“he is….”
Mia stood tall and answered..
“…I left.”
“…….”
The ending is still the same, is Mia's world still impoverished? Mia spoke to Kang Seol’s bitter expression..
“I asked Kang Seol a favor..”
- Please don't let me give up on painting. My picture... Please tell me it's not a bad thing. I'm drawing again... so I can draw.
As we approached the deeper part of the art room, several paintings appeared. Kang Seol could tell that all the paintings were created by Mia's hands..
Each picture contained Hyemyeong’s appearance. There were almost no pictures of Hye-myeong in the pictures I had seen before, but now it seemed more difficult to find a picture without Hye-myeong in it..
“…My strength is gone, but... Just looking at the picture makes me feel like I'm going back to those days. Memories are valuable just by remembering them, and you don't want to change them even for a moment... It's a precious memory.”
In the first place, that was all Mia wanted. She never wanted to hold on to her Hye-myeong and keep her by her side..
“Thank you, you did me a favor..”
“Ugh….”
Chiu trembled because he was so overwhelmed..
This incident, which I experienced in a short period of time, brought a strong shock to me..
it was the same for everyone.
Kangseol asked Mia.
“Have you ever seen Hyemyeong after breaking up??”
Unlike the past when Mia was treated with respect, speaking comfortably has become much more natural now..
Mia shook her head at Kang Seol’s question..
“is it… Is it the end?.”
This was the end of my meeting with Hyemyeong..
Just something that passed by for a moment.
“he… I left something behind.”
Snowfall was pleased with Mia’s words..
“Really?”
“yes, please follow me.”
A secret space hidden in the art room.
Her hands were everywhere..
She opened the door of a room, went in, and invited Kang Seol and his group inside..
“This… This is a post left by Hyemyeong..”
Parak…
Kang Seol read Hye Myeong’s letter..
- I don’t know what to say, Kang Seol. I don't even know if this letter will reach you. I know you made a promise to Mia, so I hope it gets delivered then..
It refers to the seed of the self that Kang Seol entrusted to Mia..
- You will definitely show up that day looking for this. If it's as I expected... I will be there too. If I don't have it... I probably can't go there.
“is it….”
I don't know what the future he dreamed of was, but he attempted to ascend to heaven and failed..
Hyemyeong's life after that did not even know snowfall..
- I am leaving Mia now. There’s no need for me to be by Mia’s side anymore. When this happens, a desire arises. … I want to talk to you again, with you. I want to meet and talk to you, the same me who has changed.
The hand holding the letter of snowfall gained strength..
- I regretted not being able to ask you back then... I'm asking now.
At the end of the letter it was written:.
- am i your friend?
Snowfall stopped as if rooted to the spot, staring blankly at the last sentence..
At that time, Mia lifted the cloth covering something hanging on the wall..
Seuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
“uh?”
“That is….”
Chiwoo and Seolhong are surprised.
there was a picture there.
A picture of Kang Seol, Chi Woo, Seol Hong, Hyemyeong, and Mia all in one picture..
Their faces drawn on a large piece of paper.
Perhaps this picture is the world that Kang Seol and his party entered just now. The pictures put their memories there..
Snow touches the plaque with the name of the painting written on it..
A picture called Friend.
Kangseol was filled with emotion and looked at the picture for a moment..
“…uh?”
And then I noticed something strange..
Not only Kang Seol but Chiu and Seol Hong were also surprised..
“in the picture….”
“Why is Mia…?”
That means Mia exists in the picture.
‘Come to think of it….’
When we stood side by side on the plateau, no one recognized us. As if awareness is limited.
‘Why didn't anyone realize it wasn't Mia's drawing??’
For a moment, goosebumps appeared all over my body..
mia said.
“This picture... Who on earth drew it??”
“if… Who is where the picture was drawn?….”
“There was no one, there was only a crater lying around. Regarding this, here is a message left by Hyemyeong..”
The message Hyemyeong left behind was a small note..
Just big enough to fit one sentence.
‘Hyemyeong left a message to me.?’
“what….”
Kang Seol quickly opened the note..
It was written there like this.
- Snowfall, someone is watching you. be careful.
“…….”
“Anyone who could have been there at the time... Who on earth is this??”
I couldn't guess.
‘Who on earth… No, he could have fooled us all and been there.?’
If you remember that the space where Hyemyeong and Kangseol coexisted was quite a special place, you will realize that this issue is by no means light..
“haha… I don't know….”
“You may not know right away. Hyemyeong said that too..”
“…is it.”
Grumble…
Words flowed out of nothingness..
- This is fun.
‘ur?’
- Oh, never mind. I will analyze this separately.
I felt reassured that Ur would step forward, but on the other hand, I was worried that it wouldn't be that easy..
As Snowfall's complexion darkened, Mia said something that he would welcome..
“Now that you've done my favor, it's time to do Kang Seol's request..”
“my… ask.”
“yes, this way.”
Door full of various locks.
This is the door we just passed by earlier..
It was a bit dusty, so I thought there might have been no one coming in and out of this place other than Mia..
Cheolkeong…
Cheolkeong…
the door is open.
Gigi Geek…
“I'm finally handing over something I've kept for a long time..”
“Why bother preparing a space like this?….”
“You'll see why when you see it for yourself..”
“what?”
The seeds of Ilche Bunshin were at most large enough to be held with both hands. To prepare such a space for such seeds?.
However, when Kang Seol saw something big filling the room, his mouth dropped open..
“…This is it?”
“Yes, this is the seed that snowfall asked for from me..”
“Unbelievable….”
The seeds were really big.
It grew bigger than a person and filled the room..
Nevertheless, the golden light did not diminish.
Rather, more light was flowing from the seed..
Exciting…
Exciting…
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
The golden energy that was briefly in Snowfall's chest reacted when it met the seed..
and.
Ppajik…
Falling in love…
This big seed is starting to crack.
[The seed of one self has withstood the test of time..]
[The seed of unity is blooming.]
