chapter 92
92 – (Side story) I will be your spring
I woke up to the laughter of the sun coming through the window. When I wake up, I see Peto, a friend my dad made for me. I hugged Peto with cute long ears and said hello.
“Peto, good morning today.”
I greet Peto, but Peto doesn’t answer. It’s a natural story because it’s a doll, but I hope the day will come when Peto answers.
“Is my daughter awake?”
I heard my mother’s soft and pleasant voice from behind, and when I turned my head, I saw my mother sitting next to me.
“Yes, good morning mom.”
“Good morning to my daughter.”
Mom said that and hugged me. I was so happy to be in my mother’s warm arms, so I smiled. So my mother smiled too. I think that kind of mom is the prettiest in the world. I like that kind of mom.
Being held in the arms of my beloved mother, it seems that my dream will come back. At that time, my mother stroked my hair and opened her mouth.
“My daughter, shall we go to breakfast?”
“like.”
I want to see my dream again, but I said that because I still like being with my mother.
I got out of bed with my mother, changed my clothes, and with one hand holding my mother’s hand and the other holding Peto, I headed for the restaurant.
As we walked into the restaurant holding the rough and hard but warm hand of our mother, the delicious smell greeted us.
“Mom, it smells good.”
“Yeah, it smells really good. This morning will be delicious too.”
Mom said that and smiled. As I was waiting for breakfast with my mother who gave me a warm smile, the restaurant door opened and my brother and sister came in.
““Good morning, Mom.””
“Yes, good morning to our sons and daughters. Lucy, you should say hello to your older sister.”
“Evan’s brother, Ellie’s sister. Good morning.”
“Good morning, Lucy.”
“Good morning to my sister too.”
After saying hello to my brother and sister, she came to my side and hugged me.
“My brother, today is cute too.”
Every time she says this, she hugs me. When I am held by my older sister, unlike when I am held in the arms of my mother and father, for some reason I feel a little embarrassed. But I like my unnie who always approaches me, so I hold back my shame.
When I was hugged by my sister feeling a bit embarrassed like that, my brother came up to me and took my sister away.
“Do it in moderation. Lucy is suffocating.”
At my brother’s words, my sister glared at him, but he didn’t pay attention and stroked my hair. Unlike the older sister’s strong embrace, the older brother’s touch is gentle and gentle. I like the touch of such a brother.
“Brother, do it in moderation. Lucy’s hair is messed up.”
Saying that, my sister pushed my brother’s hand away and tidied my hair. Seeing them like that, Mom smiled and patted their heads. So my sister and brother’s faces blushed a little.
So, breakfast is ready. My sister sat next to me and my brother sat across from me.
“Children, enjoy your meal.”
“Yes! thank you for this food.”
That’s how breakfast started, and I scooped up a little bit of steaming stew and ate it. I am happy that the soft warmth fills my mouth. As I was eating the stew, my mother cut the meat and put it on my plate. After I ate the meat, my sister cut the meat and put it on my plate.
“My brother eats a lot.”
My sister said that and stroked my hair. I like a sister like that.
“I think someone told me not to stroke my hair just because it gets messy. Did I hear wrong?”
“I didn’t tell you not to pet it, I told you to do it in moderation. And I didn’t mess it up.”
“Yes, yes. Let’s say yes.”
As usual, the older sister and older brother talk amicably. I envy the relationship between older sisters and brothers like that. I also want to be like that with my sister and brother someday.
With that thought in mind, I ate breakfast until I was full. So, after finishing the meal first, my older sister approached me.
“Lucy, what are you going to do today?”
“Um, I haven’t decided yet. sister.”
“Then shall we play in the garden with you?”
“Yes.”
“Mom, I’m coming to play in the garden with Lucy.”
“Yes, be careful not to get hurt.”
“Yes!”
So I took my sister’s hand and headed for the garden. When I arrived at the garden, my brother was there first. Seeing her brother like that, the older sister frowned.
“Brother, what’s going on here?”
“Flower viewing.”
“really?”
“yes. Any problem?”
“yes! I’m going to play with Lucy, but I think it’ll get in the way. So, I want you to go somewhere else.”
“Don’t refuse.”
Seeing my older sister and older brother talking on good terms again, I feel envy again. So I got a little brave.
“Brother, you play together too.”
Saying that, the older sister’s expression became a little funny, and the older brother smiled.
“Did you hear?”
“Yes, I heard.”
As such a conversation came and went, my brother’s smile grew thicker. Seeing the older brother like that, the older sister’s expression became a little more funny.
“Lucy, what shall we play with you?”
“It’s a play house.”
“Playing house?”
“Yes. sister is mother My brother is my father.”
When I said that, the expressions on my brother’s and sister’s faces became funny.
“It’s nice to be a dad… but why with a kid like that?”
“I mean.”
After that, my sister and brother had a good conversation again. It’s good to see such a sister and brother. So I put Peto down for a while and held my older sister’s hand. So, the older sister and older brother looked a little embarrassed. The older sister and brother whispered together for a while, then looked at me and smiled broadly.
“Shall we go for a walk with Lucy’s dad?”
“Or should I play tag with Mom?”
“I like both.”
Having said that, we held hands and strolled through the garden in full bloom, then played tag. After playing like that, I started to get sleepy little by little.
“Are you Lucy Jolly?”
“Yes.”
“Then take a nap, let’s play again later.”
“Yes.”
So I broke up with my sister and brother and returned to my room. When I returned to my room, my mother was nowhere to be seen. I was a little anxious about the situation. I don’t like it because I have strange dreams when my mom and dad aren’t around, but I fall asleep too much.
I wanted to get over my sleep and go around looking for my mom or dad, but soon I’ll have a younger brother too, so I can’t always rely on my mom and dad. That’s why I closed my eyes while challenging myself to sleep. Feeling the softness of Peto and the blanket, I slowly fell asleep.
—-
A little dark room. A cry is heard from somewhere. I heard a cry that seemed so sad that I ran after it without realizing it. So, the older sister with brown hair and blue eyes was crying sadly. As I approached the older sister, I thought that she looked a lot like my dad somewhere.
Thinking so, I felt very sorry for my sister who was crying. Then I approached to comfort my heart, but my body did not move. I watched my sister cry without even moving. The older sister cried for a while before opening her mouth.
“If I had known you were like this, I would not have married you. I shouldn’t have been fooled by fake smiles and made-up confessions.”
For some reason, that sounded so sad. I was so sad that I cried along with my sister. As I was crying like that, the scenery changed.
The older sister, who was crying earlier, is holding a child who looks just like her sister in her arms. The older sister muttered quietly.
“Poor baby. I’m sorry. I can’t give you a treat I’m sorry… I’m sorry.”
When I heard that, I was so sad for some reason that I cried for a long time. After weeping for a while, the scenery changed again. My sister’s face was wrinkled and dark under her eyes. Such an older sister wrote in a book. Such an older sister coughed continuously, and blood flowed from her mouth.
“There really isn’t much left… I want to see you one more time before that.”
As the older sister said that, she wept silently. I felt sorry for such an unnie. It’s sad and sad and I don’t want to see it anymore. It’s so sad that I don’t want to see it. My eyes keep going. And I keep shedding tears.
By the time I was exhausted from shedding tears like that, a warm wind blew. A man who looks a lot like my sister and a lot like my dad has appeared. The man shed tears after reading the book his sister was writing.
The man cried for a long time and then sang quietly.
“I was very happy because I was my mother’s son. So if there is a next life, please come to me. At that time, I will be your spring.”
Hearing those words, for some reason, my sadness disappeared and a feeling of warmth came over me. It was so warm that I forgot that I was sad and tired. The warmth came, the light came down and the darkness began to dissipate.
The light completely dispelled the darkness and opened my eyes.
When I opened my eyes, I saw my father. Then I realized that it was all a dream. When I realized that, I heard the warm voice of my father.
“My daughter, did you sleep well?”
My father’s always warm voice felt warmer today, so I burrowed into his arms. As I burrowed into my father’s arms, the warmth came over me. A warmth came over me that was very similar to the warmth I felt at the end of the dream.
When I was feeling that warmth, it enveloped me. Warmth enveloped me and Dad stroked my hair. that’s so good
I love my dad who is always warm and kind.
I like my dad who reads to me every night.
I like my dad who kneels down and tells stories.
I like my dad who always smiles and strokes my hair.
I like my father who holds my hand and tells me the name and meaning of the flower.
I’m sorry to my mom, sister and brother, but my dad is the best. best in the world In the arms of such a father, I erased the sad dream.
