"Good grandson, are you at home? Grandma came and opened the door. ”

A kind and gentle voice came in from outside the door, faintly, not very clearly.

There was a short distance between the bathroom and the living room, and the shower above the head was constantly spewing hot water, and the "rustling" sound kept ringing, slightly muffling the knock on the door outside. The boy didn't react immediately, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"What's wrong? It can't be that you haven't gotten up yet, right? You big lazy worm, don't look at what time it is, still lie in bed? It's time to get up, grandma will make you something to eat. ”

It wasn't until the person outside the door increased the strength of his hand and raised his voice a few degrees that Tae Heung-woo could barely hear what she was saying.

Needless to say, there is no one else who can still come to him at this time except grandma.

Grandma's voice sounded so kind, so gentle, like a warm spring breeze, blowing away the haze in his heart and bringing him an inexplicable sense of security.

The voice was not loud, and it was a little old, but in Tae Sunny-woo's opinion, it was so kind and familiar.

He can be wrong when everyone in the world speaks, but his grandmother doesn't. Because of that kind and gentle voice, it accompanied him throughout his childhood, became a ray of sunshine in his bleak life, and illuminated his life.

Although he didn't see anyone, Tae Hyun-woo was sure that the person outside the door must be his grandmother, and there would be no mistake.

Again and again, the knock on the door reached the bathroom through the living room and into the ears of the teenager.

Tae Hyun Woo was kneeling on both knees, his whole body bent over, his forehead pressed against the ground.

He held his head, and the painful memories always came to his mind, lingering. The slightly pale lips whispered something to themselves, as if they were repenting, constantly confessing to the woman named "Wen Kexin" who died tragically in order to save herself.

He thought that if it weren't for himself, Wen Kexin might not have encountered that kind of thing.

It's all his fault, it's that he is too incompetent and too weak to bring her and Tianyu out safely. In the end, it made her sacrifice for herself and lost her life.

Tae Hyung-woo has fallen into extreme pain and blames himself for all his faults. He didn't expect at all that if he hadn't stepped forward at the critical moment, maybe even Tianyu might not have been able to escape, but would have been buried in the hands of the disgusting monster with Wen Kexin, and he would never be able to open his eyes again.

He closed his eyes tightly, his brows were wrinkled into the shape of "Chuan", and his face was very ugly.

Warm water ran across his back, but it didn't bring a little warmth to his cold heart, and it didn't comfort him.

It wasn't until the familiar voice outside the door came into his ears that Tae Xinyu's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly came back to his senses.

He had been talking to himself before, constantly apologizing to the dead Wen Kexin, and constantly accusing himself of cowardice and incompetence. But when he heard his grandmother's knock at the door and the sound of his name being called, he suddenly stopped.

A warm current surged in his heart, and Tae Hyun-woo felt that his life was full of hope and light again.

No, he can't be so decadent anymore, even if it's for his grandmother, he has to cheer up and return to his original life trajectory!

Tai Xinyu thought that in the past year, grandma should have worried about herself. After all, his behavior is indeed too weird, always waking up from nightmares on time every night, always in a daze from time to time...... It is impossible for a grandmother, who has always been considerate, not to be aware.

But grandma didn't ask anything, didn't say anything, just took care of him and cared for him as usual.

The old voice outside the door was so sacred, so beautiful, saving Tae Hyun Woo from the abyss of pain.

He suddenly came back to his senses, and when a thousand words came to his mouth, there were only two simple words left: "Grandma!" ”

Those two words are so ordinary and so kind, as if they are the most beautiful words in the world.

Tae Hyung-woo stopped crying and slowly lifted his head. He looked at his surroundings, reached out and grabbed the non-slip bar on the side, and almost used all his strength to stand up.

Only then did he realize that his legs had become numb at some point.

Tae Hyun Woo leaned against the wall, his back pressed against the wall. He held back his tears, trying not to let himself cry, and trying not to think about the events that had happened a year ago, the things that had caused him to have nightmares and toss and turn.

Then, he wiped the water on his face and the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, then turned off the shower and walked out of the bathroom.

When he came to the washstand, he propped his hands on the pool, looked at the tired face in the mirror, the wet hair, and the droplets of water falling from his body, and immediately knew what he should do.

Tae Xinyu first took a deep breath, then spit out vigorously, walked to the living room naked, and shouted to the people outside the door: "Grandma, wait a minute, I was just taking a bath." I'll open the door for you when I'm dry, don't worry, I'll be out right away!! ”

With that, he turned back to the washbasin with a sad look on his face.

After a long while, Tae Hyung-woo squeezed out a few words from his mouth, and he muttered, "Grandma's heart has not been very good, and I can't let her worry about me anymore." If she knew I cried, it would be very sad. No, I can't let her see it, let alone let her know that I'm in a bad mood right now. Tae Heung-woo, you have to cheer up! Pretend nothing has happened! ”

After he spoke to himself for a long time, the hands that were originally propped up on the washstand suddenly rose up and hit his left and right cheeks a few times, making a crisp sound.

Tai Xinyu's whole person suddenly sobered up a lot, and his complexion was more ruddy than before, and he was no longer so pale.

Looking at the face in the mirror, he found that except for the redness in his eyes, everything else was normal, and he couldn't see how sad and sad he was before, and he shouldn't have seen any traces of crying.

Thinking of this, he muttered again: "If it's just the redness in the corners of the eyes, it should be explained that the water temperature in the bathroom is too high and the mist is steaming." Well...... It should be ok! I don't think Grandma would have doubted it! That's it, grandma is still waiting outside, I have to clean up quickly and go out to open the door for her. ”

With that, Tae Hyung-woo picked up the hair dryer and bath towel, and wiped his hair while blowing off the water droplets on his hair.

When his hair was completely dry, he quickly wiped the water droplets on his body, found a random piece of clothing to drape on his body, and walked out.

Walking to the door, Tae Heung-woo stopped, calmed down, and then opened the door.

I saw that my grandmother was looking at her with a kind face, and said with a smile: "Good grandson~Good morning~"
