Episode 103. I live in a peaceful village. (Sujeong)
103. I live in a peaceful village.
Hospital-specific disinfectant smell. It’s not spacious, but the clean walls and floors aren’t too bad. A few people were sitting on the shabby leather sofa waiting for treatment.
“… Today, the number of patients is small.”
It is the only hospital in a rural village where even communication does not work properly. He patted the still awkward white robe with his hand and fiddled with it.
After a few treatments, they all returned with a satisfied expression on their faces. This was the last remaining patient.
“Come on in.”
Bump.
As if waiting for the patient, the door opened and entered. It was a young woman who worked in a restaurant in this village.
Most of the villagers make a living by farming. However, if you have skills like her and I, the village side took care of them so that they could be used.
To be honest, farming in this village was quite attractive. This is because the land is so blessed that potatoes can grow in just three days.

Not a game or anything.
“You must have been very nervous. Please sit in front.”
“ah. Yes. yes!”
In a way, she was a senior in this village. This is because they came to this village before me and settled down to live.
I don’t really remember what I was like in the past. Since she came to this village, she often cooks and takes care of me, who often skips food.
“My name is Dayoung Lee. I’ve been cooking some, would you like to try it? oh I never heard of poison!”
“ah. The omelette I made last time was really good. Where are you sick today?”
I smiled so as not to be awkward as much as possible. But the more I do it, the more depressed and depressed the patient in front of me is.
“… me, that.”
Contrary to the dignified behavior, an awkward atmosphere is created. Maybe it’s a place you can’t even talk about.
“Dayoung, it’s okay if you don’t tell me. Have you ever eaten something wrong?”
“… yes.”
He nodded his head and answered cautiously. He was so cute that he almost laughed, but he held out his hand and held out his hand.
“cure.”
A green light wrapped around Dayoung’s body. I’m coming to tell you now, but you don’t really need to ask about your symptoms.
It’s just a word of ‘treatment’. Whatever the method, the effect is certain and I guarantee that much.
“Ugh. Are you still sick?”
“no. It’s okay. thank you!”
I flicked my finger over the stethoscope hanging from my neck. Then, Dayoung’s gaze slowly turned to my finger.
“… Ugh.”
Instead of going out, she sat on the chair and licked her lips. His expression darkened as if he was worried about something.
“Is something wrong? You can speak comfortably. If it’s okay with you, I’ll listen.”
“Sir, I am confused these days. I can’t remember the coming of this town. But apart from that, living here is so much fun. I don’t know if I can continue living like this.”
It was a bigger problem than I thought. I also had such thoughts deep in my heart, but I didn’t want to confuse them somehow.
He was the most adaptable person. You must be thinking like that inside. It’s not really what it looks like.
“… uhm. That’s actually me too. But since you don’t know how to do it, wouldn’t it be better to do what you can now?”
Then Da-young Lee’s eyes light up. The rising corner of the mouth made a beautiful arc.
“Does your teacher think so? But are you really okay? Isn’t that ring, a link with a loved one? Can I really forget that relationship and live here?”
The ring you’re wearing is definitely not an ordinary ring. It looks like an expensive item because of its gorgeous design, but it doesn’t feel like a wedding ring.
“that… .”
swallow saliva Lee Da-young’s deep eyes look towards me. As if what he said to him was sincere.
“First of all, I think so.”
He seems to be relieved somehow by my words. Immediately, she got up from her chair with a bright expression on her face.
“Thanks to you, my problem has been resolved. thank you Doctor.”
“Then that’s good.”
“Come to think of it, Mr. Lee said that there were new people… .”
I guess it’s already time for that. Every time new people came, my heart was pounding. It was a small town, but there were still many faces I didn’t know.
“ah. After all, I have to return the bowl.”
I remembered something I had forgotten. I washed the dishes, but forgot to return them.
“Then come to my house tomorrow evening and return it. I’ll make dinner for you.”
“… I’m sorry I keep eating.”
“Hey, you also treat me. Then, could you give me more detailed treatment then?”
His face turns red and he smiles mischievously. Embarrassed by her seductive attitude, but before she could answer, she rushed outside.

“Large. I’m sorry for calling you like this. But new residents are always welcome. They are new people to this town. Come on, applause!”
mate, mate.
The village head happily introduced new people. When two young women appeared, thunderous applause was heard.
One of the two people standing crooked had dyed pink hair. He was wearing a hat, perhaps embarrassed because it was a splashing color.
For some reason, I wanted to roll up my hat and touch my ears. Of course, that would be a huge disappointment.
“haha. Unmarried men shine their eyes. ruler. Let the girls introduce themselves.”
At the words of the chief, someone took a step. From the confused expression on her face, she could guess that she had also lost her previous memory.
“My name is Ah-reum Han. Actually I don’t know how I got here. First of all, thank you for your welcome.”
“It’s Lina. I’m embarrassed because I don’t have anything to introduce in particular. Take good care of me.”
After the introduction was over, applause erupted again. The unmarried men in the village next to me started to gossip.
“Wow, did you see the pink haired face? She is so beautiful that the paper is different. 걘 I wanted it.”
“Then I’m the girl next to him. Did I say Han Ah-reum? Wow, you look so young. Can’t you even remember your age?”
Hearing those words somehow made me feel bad. As he turned his gaze to them, he immediately changed to a polite expression.
“uh. Sir, are you okay? You don’t look good.”
“Teacher, would you like to have a drink with the girls with us? I just need a seat.”
I ignored it and walked away without answering. I don’t know why, but I could hear their conversations even though we were apart.
“Ai, are you only capable? Farming is very difficult. Because of what I’m doing, it’s just a dog honey.”
“So all you have to do is take a word and shoot a light. under. The girl who was cooking must have already done it with that doctor, right? under. The dog is mad.”
“You worked on her, and you ate it right away.”
“Shut up and you’re the one to drink. Tomorrow I will go to the pub with the new girls.”
A little farther away, there were Han Ah-reum and Lina who had come today. They were talking to the women of the village.
“… uh?!”
The pink-haired girl, Lina’s eyes met. I tried to turn my head again, but for some reason, my heart pounded as I saw her staring at me.
⁕⁕⁕
When a new person came, the day was always a village festival. It was actually a regular event, but it didn’t matter.
“I wonder what newcomers might be able to do?”
“Is that a bow? Was it someone who used to do hunting? it’s okay. Even if you don’t know how to do anything special. The crops here grow very fast. Do you like potatoes?”
Each table is divided by gender. Of course, today’s protagonists were Han Ah-reum and Lina, and they were barely answering the flood of questions.
I drank a little beer while watching it, and I got a little drunk. When I stepped out of the building for a moment, I could see the stars clearly different from the city.
“What is it that our doctor has so much trouble with?”
“ah. Chief.”
“Isn’t the night sky so beautiful?”
The head of the village came up to me and talked to me. He was a person who always helped the village with a good impression and a kind attitude. Because it was unexpected, he waved his hand in bewilderment.
“You are very lucky.”
“yes?”
I raised my voice involuntarily to say something meaningful. He smiled and said encouraging words as if he noticed that I was perplexed.
“… I wouldn’t remember anyway. How about getting married and settling down in this town? Our village is very welcome.”
“ah. Yes. It’s comforting though. Thank you.”
The chief’s words were sincerely heard. He really cared for and loved this town.
“I sincerely hope that the laughter of children will bloom in this village. Because in the past, young people all went to the city and never came back. Now that our village’s specialties have been made.”
“okay. I’ll just go inside.”
When he bowed his head and said hello, the chief’s expression hardened awkwardly. As soon as I entered the tavern, I heard a nervous tone.
“Why are you suddenly looking for a doctor? uh? Wait, what is this ring? It’s a design I’ve seen somewhere.”
“I know. Are the two of you in a relationship? Oh, of course, we have no prejudice about that.”
Han Ah-reum and Lina’s faces turn red at that conversation. I naturally walked over to my seat and sat down.
“to? no.”
“no!!”
When I glanced at the denial voice, I saw him shaking his head. Then the aunts laughed, saying it was a joke.
“haha. It’s a joke. Joke.”
“It’s like a friendship ring. Wouldn’t it be better to find a real lover than that? The unmarried men in our village are pretty good too.”
Of course, there are many good men. In this village, everyone works equally and does their job. Of course, there are those who harbor insidious desires among them.
“ah! it’s okay.”
“Can we go back because we are tired?”
They say no to an offer that is not an offer. There is no reason, but it made me happy for some reason.
“ah. sorry. I must have been tired.”
“I know. We lacked consideration. On the first day, everything is cluttered, anxious and just like that.”
Then, the aunts stand up to guide them. They also say thank you and follow the aunt who takes the lead.
“… uh?!”
Again.
Her eyes met again with the pink-haired girl. White jade-like skin, a beautiful appearance that resembles a human being, but the gaze towards me was so intense.
I don’t know why you’re looking at me with that face.
With such a crying expression.
