After my loud outburst, he just glared at me in silence, and I said nothing and Aerin, who was frightened and couldn't say anything but soothe him. There was a stunned silence between
us, as if time had stopped. He glared at me. His eyes were like looking at an insect that had been cruelly crushed. He stared at me with those eyes, and I could tell he was getting tired of it
and headed back in the direction we had come from with a puff of cigarette smoke. As I watched his back without speaking, I felt bitter. and looked up at the sky.
As the red sunset began to shine brightly against the endless sky, the moon began to shine brightly over the sky, and Ismiled as Istood quietly in the snowy hills and smiled at the moon. Soon my mind wandered to the night like the dewy, parched earth of the night, and I also realized that the long I
fell into a state of peace, as if I had laid down a heavy burden that I had been forced to carry for a long time. I fell into a state of bliss. Of course, this was my wishful thinking, and I knew better than anyone that it was only a delusion. I felt myself as insignificant as ever.
"Shall we go?"
I say, stroking Aerin's hair because I can't stay here and act like a child any longer, and she smiles as she holds out one of her adorable hands to me as if she's been waiting for me. She gently squeezes my hand and starts walking away, I take a moment to look at the dirt where the couple's poem I stare at the pile of dirt where the sieve was buried, then hurry on. As Aerin and I chased after Seung-hwan, the sky above us was filled with a reddish sunset. Countless stars twinkled, and darkness fell around us. It was getting darker. I stopped walking and spoke to Aerin.
"Aerin, get on my back."
Aerin didn't resist, clutching the teddy bear tightly to her chest. I hurriedly walked toward the light. The darkness was deepening. I arrived at the place where Seung-hwan and I had been homeless, but the surroundings were had been neatly organized by him.
