Chapter 14: Carpe diem

Chapter 14: Carpe diem

I raised my arm and scattered my imagination of a kindergarten video. As a writer you have very good visualization skills, but thats not always great.

What are you doing, uncle? Are there mosquitoes?

"No. Is it possible that there are mosquitoes in the new year times? I just did it because my eyes were a little dizzy. Now, shall we see how big youve grown?

When the two nephews are alternately lifted and shaken up and down, the children wave their arms and laugh. Their innocence is like our blue dragon. Under my feet, my sister's cats meowed and ran between my legs and brushed against me.

When Hae-in showed the toys he had brought to his nephews, the children cheered and clung to Hae-in. This is a well-crafted dinosaur robot. The movements are quite nice. After all, once a dinosaur maniac, always a dinosaur maniac.

Seeing that his brother-in-law also likes it, it seems that for men, dinosaurs and robots are also special beings that stimulate childhood memories.

There was a time when I was also obsessed with dinosaurs with Hae-in when I was young, and I liked Ankylosaurus. Although it was a herbivorous dinosaur that didn't harm others, it had excellent defense, and it was interesting that it had a hammer or a club on its tail.

While the brother-in-law and Hae-in were playing with my nephews, my sister poked my side to talk in the other room about the blue dragon. We also talked about Hae-in's blue dragon hatchling theory, but it seems that the older sister is more interested in the blue dragon's cognition than the external change.

You think he understands words?

How else can he understand us that well? He acted like he made cat noises until I told him to stop. Then he relaxed and went back to his normal cries.

Thats really special. Hes different from the kids who are just quick-witted, or the kids who understand words because theyve lived together with their familiesd for a long time and completely understand the expressions and tone of their families.

The older sister was lost in thought for a while, then shook her head side to side and laughed.

Dont think too deeply about it. Blue dragons are something that cannot be explained by modern science or medicine anyway, so it would be better to just cherish them and look at the changes. As Hae-in said, it may be that you have been given a sacred mission. A real fantasy that came to the writer of a fantasy novel, its wonderful!

Listening to my sister somehow calmed her heart and made her feel at ease. Okay, let's not try too hard to figure out what we don't understand. Carpe Diem. If you faithfully live each day in the present, there will come a day when everything will be revealed.

What is it?

Something black and tiny was moving. Oh my gosh! It must be an bug. What kind of bug can be found in winter?

Hey, hey, leave it alone. You can't eat that. Your brother will catch it.

While hurriedly looking for toilet paper and chasing after it, the Blue dragon moved sideways with its tail inflated like a raccoon tail, and violently showing off his teeth.

Such a commotion after seeing one bug. Get out of the way, hyung will catch it.

Fortunately, it wasn't a cockroach. I picked up a small bug that looked like a tiny beetle or a rice weevil with a tissue and threw it out the window.

Now its done. Your brother got rid of it. Aren't I cool?"

"Piro pirong!"

Blue Dragon looked at me with respect with heart eyes, but Baek-ho just nodded his head a couple of times with a grin on his face and went back to bed.

I looked around the area where I first saw the bug to see where it came from. If the bug did not come from outside and came from inside the house, it would not end with just one. If there is a hole in the wall or there is a place for insects to come out, you need to act quickly.

"Uh? What is this?"

There was one more worm. There was another one in the corner next to the bathroom, already dead.

Why is this burnt?

Its a little burnt? There are no fires around here. Why would this happen?
