“I, my sister.”
Early that morning, Helena, who had been busy brushing her hair since morning, stopped at the voice calling her. It was Ren. Leaning against the doorway, leaning her face out, she beckoned to Herena as if embarrassed.
“Could you please take a look at the clothes to see if they suit you?”
“Huh, clothes?”
“I need someone to talk to… ”
Helena smiled and went into Ren’s room. As if they had changed this and that clothes for a long time, the room was full of clothes that had been taken off like tatters. At the end of the mess, Ren’s choice of clothes was a white one-piece that was tied around the waist with a belt. It was a girly outfit with a tone that matched well with Ren’s bright silver hair.
“how about it?”
“Pretty! Will he like it too?”
Helena smiled broadly. Ren put his hand on his chest and sighed in relief. I was so relieved that I unconsciously brought out these words.
“thank god. After all, I thought Jain would like this style.”
“Hey, are you talking like you already know?”
“ah.”
Ren’s face turned pale. Helena said with a broad smile like a goblin.
“After all, amnesia is a lie, isn’t it?”
“That is, yes… I don’t want to miss this opportunity… ”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Well, I’m not harming anyone, but I can tell such cute lies.”
“sister… ”
“This sister understands everything!”
As Ren lowered his head, Helena tapped her shoulder and said. Ren’s face widened slightly at the encouraging lines.
“Then, have a nice day!”
Helena spoke vigorously one last time and left Ren’s room. Then, with the door closed, he leaned his back against the door and stood there.
“It would be in vain, though.”
There’s no way there’s such a thing as something that he really likes. Helena’s expression, muttering like that, was surprisingly cold.
*
Zain was waiting on the first floor in a suit that gave him strength, just like when he had met Elaine the other day. As soon as Ren came down, he handed me a cup of coffee with a hint of acidity as if he had been waiting. The bitter smell of coffee filled the first floor.
“Take it.”
“thank you.”
Ren smiled softly and took a sip of his coffee. Meanwhile, Zain was taking out his notebook with a confident face. There, a dating course for aristocrats, written with Marlon’s cooperation, was written in full.
“As I said before, my goal is to make you happy and bring back your memories.”
“yes? yes… ”
“For that, we have prepared the best course. First, in the morning, I got on a yacht with a symphony orchestra playing background music, went around the river while listening to music, and stopped by the theater around lunch… ”
Jain kept referring to a place that was very expensive and luxurious, like nobility, no matter what. However, Ren’s expression on hearing those words looked quite perplexed.
“Finally, we finished drinking together on the top floor of Yeongjuseong Fortress with the finest swimming pool and watching the night view. What do you think.”
“Ahaha, well… ”
“Well then.”
“It’s a bit daunting. It seems like a lot of money too. Maybe that’s something that people who are already engaged do.”
At that, Jain put on a puzzled expression. I wrote a perfect and wonderful course that looks like something out of a movie, because I didn’t think I’d be rejected head-on. Ren scratched his cheek, tilted his head and asked.
“Instead of that, can’t I go to the place I wanted to go?”
Embarrassed, Jain had no choice but to nod his head. It was Ren’s side who breathed a sigh of relief this time. Ren held the square basket he had prepared yesterday in his hand and moved forward with a gunshot.
And after a while, Jain asked as if it was ridiculous.
“Are you really okay with this?”
“yes!”
The place Ren said he wanted to go was because it was just a walking path in the neighborhood. It was a place where you couldn’t find romance like a movie. A walkway in the park where grandfathers clapping and exercising, and people walking their dogs while yawning all the time. There, Ren was smiling broadly. The warm sunlight of the morning brushed his smile with life.
“I really wanted to try feeding these rabbits, but they said two people must come together to take them out of the cage and hug them. Because he’s a troublemaker and runs away often, should someone watch over him?”
Ren was sitting in front of the rabbit cage at the corner of the walkway, feeding the rabbits. The rabbits with snow-white fur and red eyes happily ate the carrot Ren was offering them. After a while, Ren hugged the rabbit that the caretaker had taken out and smiled brightly again.
“They are so docile, aren’t they?”
“I am.”
Zain sighed. It was hard to believe that his perfect morning date plan had just been defeated by something like a rabbit hole. However, Ren interprets that sigh, grabbing the rabbit’s front paw and making it touch Jain’s cheek.
“Are you jealous? Did the rabbit just listen to me?”
“What nonsense?”
“Eight, eight.”
“don’t do it. Rabbit feet are dirty.”
Ren, who was joking around, handed the carrot stick to Jain’s hand. It meant to feed them once. Zain put a carrot into the rabbit’s mouth with a sullen face. The rabbit withdrew from the energy emanating from Jain, but in the end, he couldn’t overcome his instincts and ate the carrot hard.
“Right, right, good.”
Ren looked at it and smiled broadly enough to see the chin of his neck. The dazzling morning sun shattered in a white band over her silver hair. Dressed like a girl and hugging a rabbit, she looked like the protagonist in a fairy tale for girls.
“Then, would you like to hug me now? Like this, you can support your butt and hold it.”
When the rabbit finished eating the carrots, Ren tried to hand over the rabbit. And the accident happened. It was because the rabbit struggled and refused to be embraced by Jain. The rabbit swung its hind legs and kicked the glass of water that Jain was holding.
“Hey!”
“Are you okay?”
Jain hurriedly pushed the rabbit into the rabbit hole and looked at Ren. Ren, who was covered in water, said with an awkward smile.
“Ugh, a little wet.”
“Shall I dry you with magic? Or, changing clothes… ”
“it’s okay. It’s sunny today, so just sit on the grass for a bit and it will dry itself out. So… Well.”
Ren hesitated, then said, pointing to the sunny green grass.
“Would you like to take a break over there? Because I prepared breakfast.”
Jain nodded his head. As soon as Ren saw it, he grabbed the basket he was holding and ran towards the grass. The hurried appearance resembled the snow rabbit just before, so Jain burst out into laughter. It was obviously him who applied, but somehow Ren was leading the date.
“What, was it breakfast in that basket?”
“yes. Sandwich.”
Ren unpacked the basket with a nervous expression. The basket was full of egg sandwiches with eggs that were puffed up like clouds. As if it had been toasted with plenty of butter, the bread was shiny with a golden color, and a sweet and spicy smell was emanating as if seed mustard and mustard had been applied on the inside.
“Uh, how are you?”
Zain took a bite of the sandwich without thinking. Mixed with the warm texture of the egg, the sweet and savory flavor spreads throughout the mouth. Essentially, it was a well-made sandwich.
“It’s fine. My skills have improved since then.”
“At that time… ”
Oh, this guy is now amnesiac. Zain finished eating the sandwich and said.
“I can’t remember now, but it was originally you and me on the dinner table. I have improved a lot since then.”
“Then, is it delicious? thank god.”
Ren put his hand to his chest and sighed in relief. Today’s Ren was like a young girl who had grown up with every move really precious.
“Cool. It’s a little bit too much mustard.”
“Hawk, is it spicy?”
“No, there must have been a part where Barda was stuck. Cool.”
When Jain coughed, he immediately opened the water cup and carefully gave him water. Thanks to this, Jain, who was relieved of his cravings, found mustard in Ren’s mouth. Jain wiped it off with a wet tissue without thinking.
“You have to be careful. Don’t paint it.”
“Ah, that’s a shame. thank you.”
Ren bowed his head, dyeing his cheeks in pale red. The way they exchanged consideration for each other seemed like a perfect couple in the eyes of a third person. He was so happy that it made him smile involuntarily. The two of them, who had been sitting on the grass in the park for a long time, eating and chatting, moved around noon. This time, it was Ren’s suggestion.
“Suddenly it’s a swimming pool… The local swimming pool is not very good. Are you okay?”
Jain, who had suddenly changed into a trunk swimsuit, looked at Ren, who had also changed into a shabby competition swimsuit. Since noon on weekdays, most of the people in this shabby pool were old people, so the only young people were Ren and Jain. But Ren was warming himself up eagerly.
“Actually, I am a beer bottle. So when I had the chance, I always wanted to learn to swim.”
“Are you asking me to teach you?”
“yes. Are you okay?”
“Well, there’s nothing wrong with it.”
Start by opening your eyes in the water. Zain took Ren’s hand and said as he entered the pool. Ren entered the water and grabbed Zain’s hand as if it were a lifeline with a nervous expression.
“Can you never let go of this hand? If you let it go, it will sink down… ”
“The human body doesn’t sink that easily.”
“Let it go, are you going to let it go? Don’t joke around.”
“I get it. okay.”
Ren seemed to be a really serious beer bottle. He couldn’t even open his eyes properly in the water. I kept falling into the water that only reached my chest, so Jain had to dive several times to get it up as if hugging him. Each time Ren clings to Jain’s chest.
“I can’t. It’s not going to end today. Come back next time we have time.”
“Sorry… I don’t have much athleticism.”
“Well, I’m used to teaching swimming because of my sister. do not worry. He was just as much a bottle of beer as you are.”
“That’s right?”
The time to use the swimming pool was over, and the sun was setting slowly over Seosan Mountain. Until then, Ren’s swimming skills had hardly improved. Zain first went back to the men’s locker room and changed clothes. There were hardly any male guests, so it was as if the locker room had been chartered.
“oh! A child got his ankle stuck in a deep drain!”
“Who is a good swimmer and strong? Save me!”
“Shut up! I will do it!”
“But lady, it’s been called a beer bottle from a while ago… No, you’re really good at diving, aren’t you?”
When I got out of the locker room and went outside, there was a commotion behind me, but it was faint and I couldn’t hear it. The first person who stepped out the door leaned his back against the wall and waited for a long time. Since she is a girl, it seems that it takes time to change clothes and do maintenance, Jain thought comfortably.
“Sorry, I’m late!”
By the time Ren jumped out, the sun had already begun to set. Even so, I couldn’t even dry my hair properly, so the water drops that bounced off the wet silver hair glistened in the setting sun.
“Accident… in there late.”
“Okay.”
Ren sighed in relief. Then, walking along Jain’s side, he bowed his head. It was because I was afraid that I might be acting strangely because I couldn’t organize my hair properly. The tree-lined streets of Rottern where the sunset reflects was beautiful. The shiny leaves, the white boulders, and the small bushes and red brick walls smiled in the golden light. Ren, who had been walking on that path blankly for a while, raised his head at Zain’s voice.
“Are you really okay with this?”
“yes?”
“Ultimately, this is the end. I shouted out that I would make you happy, but there was no top-notch dinner or anything. you were just with me I wonder if this is really okay?”
I was worried about that. Ren looked up at Zain’s side face. His expression looked even more serious. Somehow, I thought it was a little cute. Laughing out loud, Ren said.
“Yeah, that’s enough. I was happy.”
“Is that so? Then I’m happy.”
Ren looked up at Zain’s face that seemed to show his shyness, and continued speaking with his back.
“I like places with a lot of people. Just looking at it makes me feel like I’m being energized, so it’s good. But by myself, I went to a lot of places I used to go, so it was great.”
Once upon a time, it was a habit that had existed since the end of life because of ablation. Observing other people’s lives, everyday life. However, this time it did not end with observation. Apparently, he led an ordinary life with them.
“Sometimes, every time it’s like this, it’s a little bit strange. I knew this would never happen to me.”
And somehow anxious and sad. afraid of breaking up I wonder if all of this is a dream Ren swallowed the back words. But that was Ren’s honest heart. Is it because I am not used to the new life I have received yet? After enjoying the little bliss, baseless anxiety followed. However, I didn’t want to ruin Jain’s mood by saying such a thing.
“There will be many more.”
“really?”
“I can’t say for sure. … I’m really I didn’t mean to give it to you in this kind of atmosphere.”
Jain suddenly stopped standing tall and hesitantly pulled out something. Ren’s eyes widened. Because it was something Ren knew. It was a ring.
“What, what?”
“ring. important thing.”
Jain, who received Marlon’s ‘Ice and Snow Walk’, processed it for Ren. As a result, the skill ‘The Ice and Snow of the Jews’ was completed. It was a skill that made each other’s clones pop out and escort each other when it was very dangerous when wearing the ring, which is the proof of the contract. Jain originally intended to hand over this from the top floor of Yeongjuseong Fortress overlooking the night view.
“This ring will protect you.”
The ring, which was the proof of the contract of ‘The Ice and Snow of the Jews’, was silver with no distinctive features. Jain put one of them on his middle finger and tried to put the other on Ren. Just then, the sunset subsided, and Ren’s face was dyed scarlet. Jain, who was about to put the ring on right away, saw Ren’s face and stopped. It was because I was crying for some reason.
“What, why are you crying?”
“Ugh, no. I am so happy.”
“I’m happy, but why are you crying?”
“I know.”
Ren chuckled. And after a while, I heard Jain explain what kind of ring this is and inflated my cheeks.
“Yeah, it was. but. Suddenly, out of nowhere, there is no way I could do that.”
“It’s an important ring. Be sure to keep it.”
However, Jain only emphasized the importance of the ring, whether or not he knew Ren’s heart. And Jain tried to put the ring on the third finger. However, Ren folded all the other fingers, leaving only the ring finger.
“Do it on your ring finger.”
“What?”
“Do it on your ring finger. Or you won’t.”
“I am.”
Due to the coercion, Jain had no choice but to put the ring on Ren’s ring finger. Ren, who had been angry just before, smiled broadly as if he had ever done so as soon as the ring entered the ring finger.
“thank you. I’ll keep it for a lifetime. This time, without breaking it like that cake.”
“Yeah, that cake. It was quite a masterpiece… No, wait.”
The cake was obviously a memory from a long time ago. Zain looked at Ren’s smiling face and said.
“Did you get your memories back?”
“yes. I’m back.”
“Since when?”
“Well, since when?”
Ren grabbed the basket tightly and circulated it, playfully asking. Silly. Thinking to himself, Ren took the lead and ran. A ring was shining on his left hand.
