Hye-yoon promptly sat next to Ji-ho. It was always about returning the favor by telling her stories, giving her unexpected emotions each time. Because he had always been like that, her heart was pounding even before opening the book.
Page by page, the fingertips flipping the paper turned red with excitement. Hye-yoon’s fairy tale, ending with ‘The baby wolf lived happily receiving warm love,’ continued in Ji-ho’s handwriting.
[In this way, the wolf became a reliable adult wolf. It was one day.Knock, knock.
When the door opened at the knocking sound, a small white rabbit was looking at the wolf. The rabbit’s eyes were red, probably because it had cried a lot. Perhaps it was the number one crybaby in the green forest.]
“Wow! I really, really don’t cry, you know?”
“Yeah. Are you sure about that?”
The indignant rabbit raised its voice. Although Hye-yoon didn’t like it, her mouth curved up nicely. The happiness flowing smoothly above her face was no different for Ji-ho.
Hye-yoon smiled again and looked back at the book. The rabbit’s face, drawn with a black pen, was more impressive than the drawings she had carefully created for days.
And the following stories were also more touching than her own.
[The rabbit tried to introduce itself, but faster than that was the wolf.
“I’ve been waiting.”
“For me?”
“Yeah. I believed you would come find me someday.”
They laughed happily. And the wolf hesitated before speaking. It was something he had wanted to say if he ever met a rabbit for a long time.
“Do you want to go to a new forest with me? Anywhere you want to go.”
Afraid that the rabbit might refuse, the wolf quickly offered a gift. He had earned money while guarding the forest. Nighttime security pays quite well.]
“Hehe. What kind of fairy tale is this?”
It was also nice to have laughter that was like giving candy every time her nose tingled. Ji-ho shrugged his shoulders.
“Wolves appeal in their own way too. No matter which forest you go to, you can easily feed yourself, right?”
Following the ‘Continued on the next page’ written in the corner, Hye-yoon turned the paper. And at the moment when something seemed substantial, her lips parted in admiration.
“Wow…”
A ring taped to the back cover. Small and transparent jewels were densely sparkling in the shape of a circular ring. Her eyes, stunned by the unexpected gift, looked at Ji-ho. He dazzled with just a refined smile.
The shining black eyes gestured leisurely. There was still the ending of .
[The rabbit replied.]No, asking to create the ending.
That was the extent of what he wrote. The next line contained only empty spaces between quotation marks. And a pen swiftly approached her. The rabbit’s answer was her responsibility.
“Um…”
Through the nasal sound, emotion overflowed. When Ji-ho looked again, he was still smiling, but his composure seemed to have disappeared. The gaze urging the rabbit’s answer was tender. So, Hye-yoon also embraced his feelings with the same look.
Swoosh [Dash] Swoosh [Dash]
After a while, the rabbit’s answer was filled without hesitation. At the moment when the text seemed to grow longer than the size of the blank, Hye-yoon handed him the book like presenting a flower. Finally, the ending of entered Ji-ho’s slightly trembling black eyes.
[“Okay. With you.”When the rabbit reached out its hand, the wolf tightly held it and left the house. The pig family and all the animals in the village happily waved their hands.]
Ji-ho’s two lips gently parted. Reading and rereading as if engraving a short sentence. Then, he suddenly seemed to compose his emotions. He couldn’t just receive such emotions. He removed the ring attached to the rabbit’s answer from his finger.
Then, he gently placed the ring on Hye-yoon’s finger. The ring fit well, as if it had to be this person. Because of that, Ji-ho was relieved, and Hye-yoon seemed quite surprised.
“It’s fortunate. It fits perfectly.”
“Wow, how did you know my size?”
“Hehe. Was it challenging to figure it out?”
The eager eyes that had been focused on him were busy looking around her finger.
Stretching out her small hand, looking at it this way and that. As time passed, happiness accumulated over her white face was poignant. Ji-ho, admiringly thinking, ‘Really, really beautiful,’ felt regretful that he couldn’t play a joke like, ‘Who? You?’
Instead of a joke, he decided to convey the feelings he had kept for a long time. The sincerity at the bottom of his heart had been compressed for too long, so it was all crumpled. Even in the voice he brought out, the energy of that emotion could be felt.
“…Yeah, it felt like a forest.”
Hye-yoon momentarily set aside the glimmer in her moist voice. Ji-ho couldn’t be unaware of the curiosity contained in her actions. As their gazes met, Ji-ho showed a slightly teasing smile.
“It always felt like floating in space. Dark and silent.”
Hye-yoon’s eyebrows twitched for a moment. Some smiles carried sadness that language couldn’t contain. For a moment, she imagined his loneliness.
