‘How about now? Any lingering regrets or things you want to try later?’
‘Honestly, I’m not sure. It’s not like I’ve completely lost interest in dreams like being a doctor, but for now, the reality of making a living is overwhelming.’
At that moment, Juhan, who had been attentively gazing at Eunsu, remarked,
‘…Did you regret not following your father?’
‘Huh? What are you talking about?’
‘No, nothing. If I did, I wouldn’t have met you.’
Eunsu chuckled, asking again.
‘But Eunsu, even if it’s not now, I think you’ll do well someday. How about doing it together later? You design, and I’ll build.’
‘You know how to make furniture?’
‘You can learn slowly. I’m good at everything done with my hands.’
‘Hmm.’
Juhan, who had acquired a steady gaze, let go of the notebook he had been holding for a while. Then, he strengthened his arm around Eunsu’s waist, getting closer. Whispering,
‘Why is your gaze like this? No, no. We already did it earlier.’
‘Why are you like this? Since when did we limit it to once a day?’
‘Hey, we have to wake up at six tomorrow!’
‘It’s enough. It’ll be over before that.’
‘What kind of nonsense are you saying!’
Eventually, the scrap notebook was pushed aside, and with the two of them close on the bed, inevitably, such things happened.
Thinking about those warm yet uneasy moments, Eunsu, holding onto the notebook tightly, closed his eyes.
How did I forget?
Perhaps, much longer ago than I thought, much more deeply…
A flash of lightning lit up the outside for a moment. Coincidentally, during that moment, a tremendous realization flashed through Eunsu’s mind.
Now I understand.
Just like a fish in the sea that lives there but doesn’t recognize the sea, I never properly acknowledged how vast you are, like an ocean, and how powerful the waves are.
From the beginning, I needed you to breathe and swim.
So, needing you was not shameful, not losing to someone, and something that should not happen; it was just a natural wind.
But the heart that lent me that wind was by no means natural.
Even picking up the dreams I abandoned, such a heart that silently picked them up was definitely…
‘I miss you.’
It was a feeling that emerged more desperately than ever. The space where the traces of Juhan were more deeply imprinted than at home was even more yearned for.
‘If you miss me, call. Don’t worry about things like time difference, anytime.’
Remembering Juhan saying that at the airport, Eunsu could no longer bear it.
Estimating the time, Juhan should be in Helsinki, Finland, around late afternoon.
Sitting in the chair beside the workbench, which was usually placed near Juhan’s workspace, Eunsu took out his mobile phone. Before the signal went several times, Juhan’s voice came through.
― Hey, Eunsu. What’s up?
For the first time in a while, a call came from him. Eunsu sensed the underlying meaning in that question but unexpectedly blurted out the answer he wanted to give.
“I miss you.”
― Huh?
It was a voice that would have sounded perplexed to anyone. Then, cautiously, he asked.
― Is there perhaps any additional filming or something?
“No, nothing like that.”
Eunsu let out a small laugh he had been holding back. It was amusing, but at the same time, there was a strange feeling as if tears were about to fall.
Now.
It feels like now. Our new timing.
“I want to answer.”
― What…
The end of the sentence, filled with puzzlement, immediately blurred. It seemed as if he recalled what he had asked Eunsu to answer.
― Now?
“Yeah. I feel like there’s no need to wait until you come.”
― Wait a moment. Let me prepare my heart.
A hint of urgency was evident. After a rustling sound for a moment, Juhan responded shortly.
― Yeah.
He had given an answer, but where should he start?
Hesitant, Eunsu opened his mouth.
“I was wrong, Juhan.”
Trying not to show that tears had pricked his eyes and that his voice was trembling, he apologized.
“…I’m sorry.”
There were so many things he wanted to say, but why were these words, seemingly insignificant, the only ones coming out like this?
“So… so I mean.”
He wanted to see Juhan’s expression, but on the other hand, it was fortunate not to see it.
“We…”
In fact, Juhan had practically decided the answer for him. Even though all he had to do was bring it up, he felt tense and nervous. Especially since only the sound of breathing was coming from the other side.
Unconsciously, Eunsu spoke to the phone he held tightly in both hands.
“Can’t we meet again?”
His feelings safely reached the Earth.
In that moment, with a different perspective but at the same moment.
Since he wasn’t sleeping, it wasn’t a dream.
“Eunsu.”
― …Yeah.
Even the one-word answer with a rounded voice sounded awkward and adorable. Feeling ticklish inside, Juhan unknowingly took a deep breath.
“Why ask such a thing.”
Perhaps he thought it was Eunsu-like. Why ask if we can’t meet again, such an unnecessary question.
“There’s no way we can’t.”
At that moment, Rio approached, shouting, “Juhan!” Even the voice reached beyond the phone, and Eunsu hastily spoke.
