Jian, who claimed to have lived alone, and the one who wanted to hear that she was doing well were undoubtedly different this time.
“Danny.”
Jian spoke with a voice weakened by several breaths, correcting herself.
Danwoo’s breathing, scattering in her ears, lingered in her chest, but the next words didn’t come out right away.
“Did I come too late?”
As Danwoo’s heavy breathing subsided, he grabbed Jian’s arms and looked at her with a face that seemed like he would cry.
Jian blinked, pushing up her lips to assure Danwoo and ease his worries, but her eyes were empty.
Unlike before, Danwoo couldn’t look away from the pain he felt in her laughter.
Two days ago.
Jian, who spent the day quietly as if submerged in water, suddenly became busy.
While Danwoo pitifully looked at Jian, a truck stopped in front of the house.
The people who got out of the car were Jonggu and Jooyeon. As Jonggu entered the yard first, his wife Jooyeon followed, holding a few wild vegetables in her hand.
Danwoo greeted them first by bowing his waist.
“Hello.”
“Did you come? We were passing by and saw a foreign car, so we wondered if it was you.”
“Yes.”
The two, who had met at Jaeyoon’s hospital before, had a natural conversation. Jonggu, who was about to make another call to Eunji, called Danwoo closer.
As Danwoo approached, Jonggu began to convey the details of the conversation he had with Eunji on the phone.
“He came the night before the funeral. A taxi came in the middle of the night, and when I looked inside, he was lying in front of the entrance. It seems like he cried all night, holding sneakers. ”
Danwoo’s poignant sigh scattered faintly in the air.
In the end, alone… He cried.
He felt like he became a completely useless person, and his chest was so painful that his throat choked. He couldn’t forgive himself for not being able to stay by her side.
Danwoo, unable to suppress his emotions, withdrew his gaze from Jian and looked at the distant mountain. Unknowingly, his eyes became warm, and he clenched his fist.
During Jaeyoon’s funeral, Jian, who did not cry, seemed strange to Jonggu, who nodded approvingly.
“Her eyes were swollen from crying a lot. It seems she cried a lot and lost consciousness. Otherwise, there’s no way she would be lying like that.”
At that moment, Jooyeon, sitting next to the water tap and trimming wild vegetables, turned around. She smiled gently at Danwoo, who met her eyes.
“A few days ago, she came out to the strawberry house and even helped with the work.”
“Yes.”
“I was going to dry them, but she said not to. Besides, she won’t eat them. It’s delicious. It’s delicious. But when I looked at it while cleaning up, it seemed like she ate a few spoonfuls. I understand that her heart is hurt, but since she’s not my family, I can’t scold her.”
Jonggu’s words contained not only sympathy but also a difficult feeling of not knowing what to do with Jian.
Danwoo fixed his gaze on Jian’s back as she sat by the water tap. It looked hazy as if trapped in the heavy afternoon sunlight.
She can’t eat well.
“I was worried about you, so I brought boiled potatoes at night. I heard crying when I brought them. It seemed like she was crying all night while crouching and sleeping in the house.”
“……?”
“Even if you smile so gently, it was heartbreaking.”
Danwoo let out a poignant sigh, scratching his tight throat to barely produce a voice.
How long did she cry alone? Those tears must have pierced through and torn your heart.
“Thank you for taking care of her.”
“Even though I’m one year older than Jaeyoon, we went to school together. We’ve been friends for decades. Can’t I take care of her daughter?”
As Jian entered the kitchen holding the prepared wild vegetables, Jooyeon stood next to Jonggu.
“She said she’ll make pickled vegetables, so I’ll give it a try myself.”
Turning around, Jooyeon straightened her lips neatly, and Danwoo greeted her.
“Thank you.”
“I haven’t done anything. When a loved one dies, today is like tomorrow, and tomorrow is like yesterday. It’s fortunate that someone comes not too late.”
Jooyeon remembered last night as she watched Jian busy in the kitchen.
Startled by the crying, she hurriedly entered the house, and Jian was alone in the living room, crouching and lying down, sobbing with her back shaking. She had her father’s sneakers next to her.
Feeling sorry for Jian, Jooyeon had patted her back for a long time.
“Jian, it’s just regret for now, but as you live, it’ll get better. That’s how a parent’s heart is. It’s harder for a child to be in pain than I am. My father must not have said it willingly. The pain and sorrow in your heart pass in a moment.”
Although the crying diminished after hearing my words, Jooyeon’s heart ached throughout.
“It seemed like she was crying in her sleep. Don’t leave her alone for a while. …It would be good if she could be with her family. But it seems like it’s not the right situation.”
Jooyeon vaguely guessed the inner thoughts, hearing Eunji and Jonggu talking on the phone.
When Jonggu called again, Eunji, in a cold tone, hung up, saying not to contact her about Jian’s affairs. Then, Jonggu sighed deeply with his tongue hanging out.
“Aunt, I don’t know if it turned out tasty.”
At that moment, Jian, who had seasoned and mixed the outer leaves of the wild vegetables, came out with a side dish. With a voice so bright that it was hard to believe Jooyeon’s words, she said, “It’s well mixed. When I get to your age, everything others make tastes good.”
At Jooyeon’s urging to finish, Jonggu asked Danwoo. It was a look as if he was testing whether he had come to visit or to take Jian.
“How are you going to Seoul today?”
“Since it’s late, I’ll rest for a day and go with Jian. I’ll come to see you before going to Seoul tomorrow.”
Danwoo, who planned to go to Seoul right away, changed his mind. Tonight, he wanted to stay with Jian and watch over her.
Danwoo came out to the yard and called his attending physician in the U.S. to discuss Jian’s situation. After hanging up the phone, he immediately dialed Taeyoon’s number.
Bad memories sometimes made people weak regardless of their will. Danwoo knew how foolish it was to fight against bad memories alone.
Warm comfort from others was good, but getting professional help that would help him objectively was also important.
The call disconnected, and Taeyoon’s voice was heard.
Yes. President.
“I think you need to give me some time.”
