217 – If Hail continues like this # 2
The bed was particularly uncomfortable.
The blanket was too big and didn’t fit, and the bed was too soft.
This morning, I woke up with a different feeling than usual.
I realized that I had turned into an animal.
Fluffy hair growing everywhere.
A body that looks fluffy.
Pointy ears.
This sight made me dizzy.
What is this?
It felt like a continuation of the dream I had last night.
But my intuition was telling me.
This is not a dream, it is reality.
I don’t know why, but I knew it wasn’t just a dream but reality.
What is this?
I shouted again while looking at myself in the mirror.
But my scream rang out in my mouth and came out with a completely unexpected sound.
“Kkeongkeong-!”
It was a very affectionate and cute cry.
Kkeongkeong, a dog squirrel that likes to chomp down strawberries and lettuce, cried like this.
Not only the squirrels cried like this, but all the dog squirrels cried like this.
That’s why they are called ‘dog’ squirrels.
“Kkeongkeong-!”
Those words meant only one thing.
It meant that I had become a huge dog squirrel.
What happened?
Would the man who turned into an insect one morning be as confused as I am now?
But I was better than the unfortunate man who turned into a bug.
The first reason.
I felt like I vaguely knew why I had transformed.
It is said that in the past, Oinoi, Illinois, and Kalinoi worked together to create an “Animal potion.”
The bitter aftertaste of that terrible potion still seemed to linger in my mouth. My brilliant intuition told me that the cause of this transformation was the nymphs’ “Animal potion.”
“Kkeongkeong-!”
Yes!
Nymphs would know how to cancel this transformation!
If you figure out the cause, you can figure out the solution.
With that in mind, I left the room and headed to the living room.
The dog squirrel’s hands – front paws are better structured than expected for holding objects, so it was able to easily open and close doorknobs.
I arrived at the living room with that feeling.
The time is 10 o’clock in the morning.
“Kkeongkeong-!”
I called Oinoi.
But Oinoi was not at home, perhaps having gone out with the nymphs!
Self-.
At that time, I could feel a scent similar to the nymphs’ unique candy smell wafting at the tip of my nose.
It is said that the tip of a dog squirrel’s nose is always moist, so it can literally smell and detect most odors like a ‘dog’. It seems to be true.
Ttubangdtubang-.
I stood on my hind legs and walked upright, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Walking on two legs was harder than I thought, and the ‘tail’ that suddenly appeared made it especially difficult to control my body because it moved around at will.
Anyway.
Feeling like a pilot sitting in an unfamiliar cockpit, I moved my body and found a note attached to the front door of the house.
Yellow post-it note.
Oinoi’s crooked Korean letters are written there.
“I plan to pick ‘five-leaf clovers’ with the nymph sisters… ! He said he would take Kkungkkung, Angang, and Kungkkung along with him… !」
Nymph Oinoi seemed to have gone for a walk or exploration in a nearby rice field with Illinois and Kalinoi.
Nymphs are very enterprising and exploratory people, so they like to go around the rice fields or fields digging up mugwort or catching insects like butterflies.
It looked like that today too.
It looks like they took all the small animals for a walk.
“Kkeongkeong-!”
This is a big deal.
I felt very embarrassed about having to maintain this fluffy and furry appearance until the nymphs returned.
When will it come back?
I didn’t know exactly what “Five-leaf clover” Was, but I vaguely knew that it was a rare grass that nymphs often spoke of.
I don’t think he’ll be back anytime soon.
“Kkeongkeong-!”
A body that finds it difficult to walk on two legs.
It’s a state where you can’t even speak human language.
Ding dong-.
It was right then.
I heard the bell of the well house ringing.
Someone had come to our house!
Sssss-.
I could smell the strong smell of bubble gum at the tip of my nose.
No one else I know has this strong bubble gum smell.
Lee Jin-ah is here!
# # #
Lee Jin-ah saw Hail-do’s message from the previous day.
Her text message said, “I have something to tell you, so let’s meet tomorrow at 9 o’clock at the cafe we always go to.”
From noble mtl dot com
The cafe mentioned here refers to the newly opened “Star Box – Taecho Village Branch” In Taecho Village.
The owner of this store was a middle-aged man who raised a coffee-colored dog squirrel, and the flavor of the coffee beans chosen by the dog squirrel was so great that it was popular with people.
‘I have something to say.’
Lee Jin-ah was fighting with Hail-do and was a little angry.
She will not see or talk to Haildo for the time being. She was firmly thinking about that, but when Hail Island asked her to meet first and talk, she couldn’t ignore it.
So she went to the cafe at 9 o’clock in the morning.
But even after waiting for an hour, Hail-do did not appear and Jin-ah Lee felt even worse because she thought she had been cheated on.
So Jinah Lee went to the well house.
Ding dong ding dong-.
She looked at the closed gate and rang her bell.
But there was no answer from inside and she did not feel any special sign of popularity.
“What? Are you making fun of people?”
Jinah Lee delivered her milk and unlocked her front door with the key in her pocket. And when she entered the yard where golden apple trees and other medicinal herbs were in full bloom -.
She could see something big coming towards her.
“What is this…?” !?”
It was a brown-furred beast. It was as large as an adult human, had an awkward form waddling around on two legs, and had pointed and striped ears.
Bear.
For a moment, she thought that even a bear, which is said to live somewhere in Korea, had come down to the village. Panicked, Jinah Lee clenched her fist and tried to swing it with all her might, but when she looked closely, she saw that she was not a bear but a squirrel.
“What squirrel?”
It was a very large squirrel.
Could there be a squirrel this big?
But it wasn’t strange that she was there.
“Is this a big squirrel with great charisma…? .”
Haildo, the owner of this house, is called ‘Haildo of the dog and squirrel’.
Haildo was close to all the dog squirrels in Taecho Village, and he was friendly with a very large dog squirrel, so it wasn’t strange at all that he invited him to his house.
“If you think about it… I think the nymphs told me that they met a really big squirrel in Greece. What did you say? Ancient squirrel? No, did you say giant squirrel… ?”
An ancient species of dog squirrel that is said to have been met by nymphs in Greece.
It was very big.
Maybe he was referring to this dog squirrel.
No, that was all I could think of.
“Kkeongkeong-!”
The dog squirrel cried.
I circled around Jinah Lee and for some reason, I felt like she was following along well. Jinah Lee had a constitution that was sensitive to other people’s favor and affection.
This strange giant chipmunk has no intention of harming you. And I was able to find out that there was something good about it.
“Kkeongkeong-!”
What do they say?
Zek-.
Jinah Lee raised her hand and stroked the head of the giant dog squirrel. However, the giant dog squirrel just kept circling around Jinah Lee and barking, “Kkkkkkkk!”
“Are you hungry?”
Lee Jin-ah remembered that somewhere in Hail-do’s house there was a pile of macadamia peanuts to feed to the dog squirrels.
Didik, Didik-.
Lee Jin-ah opened the door lock and went in. She searched through the messy living room and room to find a bag of peanuts and put some into her empty bowl.
Chrrr-.
A plate of peanuts piled high.
The big dog squirrel stuffed her peanuts into her mouth as if she was hungry. Lee Jin-ah smiled as she saw that.
“What, are you that hungry? Is this the girl that Haildo originally took care of? Heildo, where on earth is this squirrel wandering around without even giving it food? “She even promised to meet me.”
She was momentarily distracted by the big dog squirrel, but Jin-ah Lee refocused on the fact that Hail-do had cheated on her.
She said, “I tried my best to apologize for hitting her yesterday, but she just broke her promise. Not even answering the phone. Did you leave your phone at home too? “What is this guy?”
“Kkeongkeong-!”
A large dog squirrel was moving around in Haildo’s room. She turned on the computer and started typing something on the keyboard, but I had no idea what she was trying to do.
But Lee Jin-ah was greatly surprised.
“Does a dog squirrel know how to use a computer? “Are you just imitating me?”
She had heard that squirrel dogs were very smart, but she didn’t know that they could even knock on computers like humans do.
Jinah Lee wondered what this big dog squirrel was up to, so she decided to watch closely.
A very large dog squirrel.
It was furry all over, its very rich and long tail was wagging wildly as if it couldn’t control itself, and its ears were pricked.
Lee Jin-ah thought as she looked at that figure.
‘It’s cute.’
Because Jinah Lee cares about what people think, she does not pet or treat animals such as dog squirrels or honey ants in front of others.
However, when other people were not around, she often liked to play with Haildo’s animal friend, Kukkyungi, by stroking it or playing with it.
The room happened to be empty.
After Jinah Lee took a quick look at her surroundings, she slowly stretched out her hand and hugged the body of a very large dog squirrel in her arms.
It was very fluffy, warm, and smelled nice.
“The dog squirrel is so cute! Oh my gosh!”
# # #
“I tried to apologize to Haildo for hitting him. You bastard, how dare you cheat on me. “He said we’d meet at the cafe by 9 o’clock.”
Yesterday, when I decided to apologize to Jin-ah Lee, I immediately left a text message to Jin-ah Lee. But today, for various reasons, I overslept and couldn’t go to the meeting place.
Lee Jin-ah seemed to think that I had deliberately caused trouble for her.
Absurd misunderstanding.
So, I made many efforts to let people know that I am Haildo.
I tried to open the notepad on my computer and write ‘I am Haildo,’ but it didn’t work, perhaps because of the difference between my hands and front feet.
At that time, Jinah Lee hugged me.
“The dog squirrel is so cute! Oh my gosh!”
I was embarrassed.
She was Lee Jin-ah, who always showed a cool side even to animals. Of course, I knew that people would give peanuts to Kungkung in front of others or play with her hands, but…
“Come here! It’s so soft and warm that it’s healing! Hey, this is life. I love this feeling… ! I’m so happy because the dog squirrel is so big… ! I don’t know what it is, but I feel like I’m addicted… ! hehehehe… !”
Lee Jin-ah thought I was a real dog squirrel and smelled me and trembled pathologically.
I thought to myself as I held Jin-ah Lee tightly in her hands like a doll.
Lee Jin-ah pretends to be cool, but she is secretly shy and shy.
What if you find out that the identity of this big dog squirrel is me, Haildo?
And what if she finds out that what she did was not the dog squirrel, but what she did to Nahaildo?
Lee Jin-ah would probably be very embarrassed, and that shame might come back to me as violence.
“It smells more similar to Hail Island. A strange grassy smell. I want to smell something more…. What should I say it smells like… ? I think Hail’s clothes also smelled like this….”
So I had to make a decision.
Before Lee Jin-ah accumulates more shameful black history, she somehow informs the situation!
Pababat-!
So I struggled to get out of her arms.
After heading to the yard, she moved the stones nearby with her mouth and hands and completed the ‘letter.’
“What? Where? Come on!”
Lee Jin-ah followed me out into the yard and seemed to have seen letters written on the floor of the yard.
“What? “I am Haildo”… ?”
His expression, which seemed subtle at first as if he didn’t understand, soon changed to confusion, and then he turned bright red like a tomato!
