51 – Funerals
I felt like if Yu Seon-i was left alone, it would melt away like soap soaked in water.
That’s why I put all my strength into the arm that hugged Yoo Seon-i because it was like that for a long time…
“It’s okay… I’m fine, release me now.”
“…Yeah”
And Yoo Sun rubbed her eyes and said it was okay, and she smiled at me.
It’s not that I’m laughing because I’m really happy. Just don’t worry.
I’m fine. It was like a smile you put on to show it to others.
Yeon Seon is all rotten inside and is only getting brittle… Seeing her smile because she doesn’t want to make others worry.
The sight of it made my stomach choke like I had eaten a sweet potato.
I want to be a source of strength for Yoo Seon-i, and I want to help him.
Yeon Seon always tried to take responsibility for everything alone.
We’re… Still kids. I’m a teenager I’m old enough to depend on others…
Should I say that Yoo Seon’s appearance is mature or foolish? I’m not sure.
“..Everything is fine now”
The face of Yoo Seon-i, whom I haven’t seen in a long time, has become half.
Her cheeks are tight, and… Her eyes are full of shadows. Originally, she was chubby because she had breast meat.
Now I’m completely gone… I’m no longer childish.
Perhaps it’s because he’s tired, but his eyes are languid, but he’s also kind, because he’s making a face that looks like he’ll collapse if I don’t protect him by his side.
“Yoo Seon had a lot of trouble alone”
“Ah..G..G.G..”
I was taken aback by the director talking to me from behind, and I ran away from Yoo Seon-i.
Suddenly, her face started to heat up.
Just… I’m making a bloody, gurgling sound like that boiling kettle, but the director makes a nasty expression saying he doesn’t know why I’m doing this.
“Did you catch a cold because it rained a lot earlier?”
“Certainly. Yujeong did smell like rain all over her body…”
“..Fever…Fever rising. I’ll change my clothes and come back!”
I grabbed a change of clothes and ran to the shower room attached to the funeral home.
2)
The funeral home was so quiet. For three days, we were the only mourners.
I ordered about 50 servings of beef or yukgaejang. Because it’s a waste to throw it all away. I keep eating only that, so I don’t think I’ll even look at pork and yukgaejang for a while.
Yoo Seon didn’t want to eat too much, so the director and I tried hard to eat, but since it’s for 50 people, there’s a limit even if the two of us eat together.
First of all, this is the first time for Yoo Seon. Because he has no adults to ask, and he had to work it all out by himself. He didn’t even count how many people were going to eat, it seemed like he just shouted it blindly.
…But fortunately, someone has already paid for the expenses needed for this funeral, so there is no subsidy. I’m glad that the director and I don’t have to pay separately.
Actually, I wonder who paid for this, though.
Even if I or the director asked about it, Yoo Seon-i would never say anything about that part.
Yoo Seon seemed to have something to hide from us.
Well… I’m curious that Yoo Seon-i has a secret that I don’t even know about. I don’t really want to dig into it though.
Because I also have a secret I want to hide from Yoo Seon-i, well… Yes, life in the world is like that.
The chestnut coffin goes into the crematorium.
It seems that Yoo Seon-i decided to enshrine his father in the enshrinement hall.
Since the story of the incense burner was already over, the director and I had nothing to do.
I sat in the waiting room and waited for the makeup to finish. It’s just that I passed the time in a daze without saying anything.
When everything was over and we went back to the crematorium, there was a huge coffin that went in there.
What came out was an ossuary the size of an adult’s head. Yoo Seon-i accepted it carefully, took the bus, and took her father to the incense burner near the orphanage.
Yoo Seon naturally went back to the orphanage with us.
I don’t know when my high school semester ends and when it starts… Anyway, isn’t June the time to continue going to school?
But neither I nor the director said anything to Yoo Seon.
Because… I didn’t know that Yoo Sun-i was wearing a funeral suit, but when I saw that he was wearing plain clothes, I could see a blue bruise on his arm.
Just because you hide these things doesn’t mean you can hide them.
I don’t know what happened, but it seemed that school life was much more difficult than I thought.
“…Seonah Yoo”
As soon as I came to the nursery school, I immediately felt sick to see Yoo Seon lying facing the wall.
You must be quite, very tired. Even though I just lay down without a pillow, I was sleeping coolly.
I went to a very good high school, and I was happy thinking that Yoo Seon-yi would succeed, but I was very sad thinking that I wouldn’t be able to meet her in the future.
It was not such a simple matter to think about.
Gap of status or gap between rich and poor. I don’t know why, but anyway, I never imagined that Yoo Seon-yi would be assaulted enough to cause bruises at school.
“It’s okay…”
-Ssukseuk.
I touched the head of Yoo Seon who was sleeping without knowing the world.
Her hair is soft and soft, and it looks like she’s touching a puppy that you often see in pet shops.
Cool Cool-
Looking at the face of her sleeping without knowing the world,
Retriever. Yeah… That big yellow puppy.
It’s like a retriever.
… Yu Seon’s hair is black, and it’s a bit … Rough. There are also images like Shepard.
Why is the type of dog so important here..?
Retriever Shepherds are both friends of people.
Is she wired? She’s sleeping. She’s wearing the back neck of her t-shirt slightly turned inside out to check her trademark.
-…..
I don’t know if it’s French or Italian, so I don’t know how to read it, but this is incredibly expensive.
I understand that much.
….Once upon a time, before Yoo Sun went to Mirae High School, I bought her clothes.
As I look at each one, what will Yoo Seon-i wear look good on?
With that thought in mind, I went around a few outlets and carefully bought one, so I remembered all the clothes I bought for Yoo Seon.
So, after the funeral, when Yu Seon changed her clothes and returned to the nursery school- what the hell was that because she was wearing clothes she hadn’t seen before..? Exactly – that’s what I thought.
Yoo Seon is a kid who is not good at choosing clothes or things like that.
Looking at the maker and style you’re wearing. It seemed that someone had chosen their clothes very carefully.
Wireline, skin color, body, height. It seems like you put a lot of care into each one.
No matter how I look at it, I don’t think Yoo Seon bought clothes of this style from the store and wore them.
Since the director is older and male, it’s okay if you just cover your body, whether it’s a wire, a mat, or a poncho raincoat.
Just- that’s how you look at clothes.
I think it went by calmly, but when I looked at the clothes Yoo Seon-i was wearing, I could tell right away.
The girl guessed it.
That also had a lot of personal taste in it.
I like Yoo Seon-i to move, and I am an active kid, so if possible, I wear clothes that are comfortable for activities. These are clothes you can wear casually.
This was a bit formal… That kind of outfit.
Who the hell would have dressed Yoo Seon-i like this..?
Why?
Even if you just roll up your sleeves like this, Yoo Seon-i gets beaten so much that he gets blue bruises.
On the other hand, it doesn’t make sense to have a friend who is rich enough to buy such expensive clothes.
At the neck… What is this..?
You can’t hide it even if you pull up your collar and button it all the way to your neck.
I think Yoo Seon thought he covered it well.
From noble mtl dot com
I couldn’t fool my eyes.
That… If you look closely at the nape of your neck, you’ll find a reddish line…
This, that’s it. Attempted suicide
…But others may not know. I know. Because, I also had something like that in my body before.
I’m not sure what happened to Yoo Seon’s future high school.
Actually, even if I ask, Yoo Seon will answer that he absolutely does not know because of his personality.
But watching this, one thing I can tell is that Yoo Sun-yi was abused by someone to the point of attempting suicide in her future high school.
But how…. In what way…?
Well, first of all, no matter how wealthy students go to school, not all of them are taller than 180cm. If Yoo Seon-i is covered in bruises like this, he must feel threatened for his life and struggle.
A 180 and a weight of 70 annoys Yu Seon who just passed it..? That too… If you do something wrong, you will die or die- resist..?
To be honest, it makes no sense.
Why would a kid with a lot of money go to high school bully Yoo Seon?
No, well…Although it can be harassing you with a bad heart. Still… The risk is too great.
No matter how much money he has, it hurts when he gets punched in the face.
I thought that if I were a bad kid, I wouldn’t bother bullying Yoo Seon-i, he’s short and has a weak personality…
…The more I look at Yu Seon lying face down on the floor,
I have a lot of thoughts.
Because the more I look at it, the more I look at it, the more suspicious and questionable it is to simply say that a few bad quality high school students made a kid with no money.
