This should be regarded as a real quarrel today.

After saying those words that made the cement in the room almost solidify, I began to wrap gauze around my hands with great calm.

Kang Seok-jun and Hwang Mi-young's expressions seemed to be a little unacceptable, probably they didn't expect me to say such heavy words. But actually, I have my own plans.

After a few more moments of silence wandered through the room, my wound was rewound, clean and refreshing.

When I got up, my wet beach pants were still dripping from below, and I looked back at Kim Taeyeon.

At this time, her eyebrows are stretched, but her eyelashes are dancing very little. In the eyes, there are pupils that are in a state of earthquake. The originally colored lips seemed to have faded a little color, and they were slightly curled there.

Probably she didn't expect it at all, and she didn't expect me to lose my temper at her so seriously.

To be sure, she was angry, and in addition to that, there was a hidden emotion that couldn't be explained. Whether it was a kind of panic or a withered sadness, I don't know for a moment.

I just took a slow breath and hardened my mind: "We're going to change our clothes, you two go out first." Other than that...... Don't keep a straight face, don't be expressionless, I'll go out soon, and I'll talk to you when the time comes. ”

The sticky gray cement in the room finally froze completely because of this sentence.

Kim Taeyeon looked down at her toes for a second, her hair cascading down like a waterfall, and then quickly rose again. She looked up at me, and I didn't make eye contact with her. Then, she turned and pushed the door open and walked out.

That side door of the Melbourne motorhome. In the end, it was closed by the wind, and the force was a little strong. The sound was a little loud.

The cement in the room was temporarily shattered by this voice, and Huang Meiying, who took all the captain's expressions into her eyes. Sighing at a loss, he glared at me and walked out.

The door was closed a second time, leaving the cold wind outside. The air conditioner in the carriage that had not stopped until this time came back into effect, and the warm breeze hit Jiang Xijun's body, and he let go of his hand while pinching one of his shoulders and turned his gaze to my side.

"Don't you think that's a bit too much?"

Although Kim Taeyeon was losing his temper with himself just now, and even though he was blamed just now, Kang Seok-joon felt that he had not been in a bad mood from beginning to end. Opposite. He thought my words were a bit too much.

In this regard, I stopped moving as I was changing into down pants. One leg in the trouser tube and one leg outside. His eyes looked into the empty space for a while, and there were many thoughts in his mind.

Memories are the same as the wound just now, and they are all uncontrollably surging outward at this time.

On that polar night in Tokyo, in a certain room, a bloody knife was stuck on the table. Three meters away, her eyes were filled with a heavy red.

These bad memories are really hard to forget.

Now it seems. Kang Seok-joon and I had ignored this issue before. In the days since we came back from Tokyo, we have only given her comfort. But in fact, she needs more than comfort...... It's companionship. We forget that this is a guy who likes to stuff himself into a corner, when we're all busy with our own things - unimaginable. She stayed at home twenty-four hours a day, and her mind was full of thoughts.

If that hadn't happened, "liking to stay at home" wasn't much of a bad hobby. They all call her a house elf. But......

Exhale a long breath after Jiang Xijun's words. It seemed as if the room had been silent for a whole century. Before a new era is revealed, I shrink my legs. Wear good pants across a hundred years. Then he got up and came face to face with Kang Seok-jun, who had been tidied up.

Lowered his hand and tugged at the hem of his wrinkled clothes. Looking up again, Jiang Xijun's eyebrows on the opposite side were still as sincere as ever.

In response, I tore open my dehydrated and peeled lips and said to him in a hoarse voice:

"She can't stay in the memories all the time and can't get out, I'm not ruthless, how can I wake up from a nightmare?"

――――――――――――――

The cold night breeze began to make a slight noise through the glass of the carriage, and there seemed to be a white thing floating outside the window.

After saying this to Jiang Xijun, I slowly turned my head and glanced out the window:

"It's snowing."

That's right, on Christmas Eve, camping on the beach of Wolmi Island in Cheehae, Incheon, encountered a white and flawless snow. What a beautiful and joyful thing it is, and the vibe and feeling of travel is once again elevated by these little ice crystals.

After noticing that it was snowing, I slowly paced two steps to the side and sat down on the edge of the couch, my eyes glued to the surface of the cabin floor.

"I knew how much that incident affected her and I knew she needed more care and more care. Her wounds are indeed much harder to heal than mine. However, these are not reasons for her to lose her temper at will. ”

The hands that had been placed on the side were resting on their knees because of the words they were gradually speaking. Fingers crossed and folded, and at this point, I glanced up at Jiang Xijun, who was listening quietly, and then continued to speak:

"Because, I have to let her know. She can have a little tantrum once or twice, but she can't go on like this forever. It wasn't until now that I realized that every time I saw my wounds, she seemed to unconsciously collapse her nerves very tightly, and the look of lingering was really uncomfortable. I don't want to see her kidnapped by feelings and guilt again. ”

"I want her to be quick and strong in the face of these memories............ Maybe one day, she will really become stronger, then she probably won't admit to me as a person. Isn't that good news for you? ”

Kang Seok-jun, who listened carefully to my every word at first, couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard my last sentence.

I don't know when he clasped his arms again: "That's not the point, listening to you say this, I only now understand the seriousness of the matter, I just want her to get out quickly." Since you have something to say to her, and you want her to be strong sooner, then say it. ”

"Anyway, it's you and not me who are making her angry right now, and I can put on a high-hanging posture. But are you going to keep Ogino in the carriage all the time? ”

At this time, the topic suddenly changed paradoxically, from Kim Taeyeon to Ogino who popped up, only half of the punctuation marks were used before and after.

For Jiang Xijun, who was a little nervous, I could only shake my head helplessly, and then followed his finger and found Ogino who came out of the guest room at some point.

In order to avoid the challenge of this guy who likes to find rough roads everywhere, he went into the woods or washed into the sea. From the very beginning, I locked it in the guest room, thinking that I would just let it play with ball in the corner.

Get up and lean over again, and scoop the little guy in your hand. Just as I was about to throw it into the room, a hidden string in my heart was suddenly and inexplicably plucked.

Keeping leaning over, I glanced at its dark eyes in my palm and took it into my arms. The zipper of the down jacket was pulled down slightly so that it could hang on my chest with two little paws.

After getting all this done, I looked sideways at Jiang Xijun and waved my head, "Let's go out." ”

Realizing what I meant, he put his hand in his pocket and nodded.

After a long time, it was finally outside the camp again. The campfire was still hot, and there were six people except us on the bench next to it.

Among them, three had hats on their clothes. When two of them saw the snow, they framed their hats on their heads. In a moment, a little clear snowflake of ice crystals had fallen on the shoulders of most people, and this snowflake melted away in a matter of seconds under the heat of the campfire. But soon, new ones fell. It seems that the snow is slowly getting heavier. But...... No one seemed to care, but they were getting more and more interested. Only, there was one person, the guy without a hat, who sat a little farther away from the campfire, though the expression on his face was still clear. There were a lot of snowflakes on the tips of my hair and on my shoulders, but I didn't wipe them at all.

As I walked towards the campfire, I looked at them talking and laughing, and then turned my head to look at her who was still and had snowflakes on her shoulders, and my heart moved slightly: although the girl was angry, she finally heard my words.

Step by step, he walked up to her and pulled over a chair and sat down.

But the guy who didn't stop sulking didn't even look at me. Looking at her in such a state, I pulled my hat for her with a slight grin.

However, she still didn't appreciate it, and stubbornly put down her hat again, and by the way, she shook her head from side to side and shook her hair.

The ice crystals between the tips of my hair were tossed in the air, and some of them hit me in the face, and after avoiding them a little, I stared at her again, then adjusted my chair back and leaned back comfortably.

In its arms, Ogino provided heat and softness, and it turned its head around curiously, its paws scratching its chest for a long time.

Next to her, she is emotionally like a thorn. Sulking is her natural talent, and she likes to be alone if it's not necessary.

On the chair, I was lying watching the snowflakes in the sky. At this moment, it is a real flower from heaven, a white flower.

One after another, falling from the endless deep space. Somehow, I suddenly had a strange feeling that "everything is fine".

"After a few more drinks with them and a little game, come for a walk with me."

I had been looking at the sky like that, and suddenly I said in a warm tone.

This tone, and the stern voice just in the car, are almost two extremes. But in fact, at that time, when I said that cold rebuke, my heart was also pierced by needles.

I
