Chapter 61: Finally with Eunah -3

Chapter 61: Finally with Eunah -3

The force that pulled me in the words that were conveyed felt stronger.

"Hehe"

Laughter burst out from the head buried in his arms.

As Dokyun felt like his heart was about to burst, he reached out his hand and brushed the head leaning on me.

"T-then"

Her words continued.

As she lifted her head buried in his chest and looked at him with a face that seemed anxious somewhere, she pursed her lips and then opened her mouth.

"M-Mr. Bee will continue to continue to stay with me?"

It was a question that she asked again even after hearing the answer just before.

Why is she so anxious to keep confirming?

Continuing to think, the only thing that came to mind was whether the answer lies in the memories she erased from her mind.

Could it be that the memories she erased for herself were memories that were too painful for her?

Could it be that the remnants of emotions that she couldn't erase while erasing her memories are making her so anxious?

Could it be that the reason she became like this is due to the significant impact of parting with someone precious to her?

'Probably'

Her mother.

Could it be that her leaving was not because of her mother who abused her, but because of her mother who she couldn't stop loving?

Although he had learned a lot about her, there were still many things he didn't know, so he could only think this much.

"Ah, you won't leave?"

The urging words came again.

Even as he continued to think, the anxiety on her face intensified, making Dokyun unable to delay the answer any longer, so this time, he hugged her tighter and managed to answer.

"I won't go anywhere. I'll stay with Eunah."

"Uh-huh"

Even though he gave an answer, there was no sign of relief from her.

This made his heart ache again, and as he tried to choose his words carefully to make a smile appear on her face, an appropriate phrase came to mind.

"Eunah."

"Yes"

"Shall we make a tree together?"

Blink, blink. The eyes facing each other blinked.

Dokyun looked at her, smiling more brightly on her face, and continued speaking.

"Because Christmas is coming soon. Let's make a tree."

It is now the end of December, the end of the year.

It's an end, but also a beginning.

Dokyun began to envision the upcoming times so that she wouldn't become more anxious, hoping that the days to come would be happy.

"We'll decorate a big tree, hang lights, and make it look nice."

The house must be spacious. If they decorate a tree in a corner of the room, it would be a lovely sight.

"And we'll prepare chicken, beer um, pizza too. We'll prepare so much that it's hard for two people to eat, and have a party."

"A party?"

"Yes, a party. Just the two of us."

Although I've never done it before, it will definitely be enjoyable.

The process of preparation, setting up the decorations, and the time spent laughing and chatting while sharing a drink will be deeply engraved in my heart and will never be forgotten.

As he look at her with these thoughts in mind, he see a questioning expression on her face as she tilts her head slightly.

In response, Dokyun raises his hand and gently brushes her cheek, speaking softly.

"I wonder what we can do together in the future. After Christmas, maybe we can go outside and watch the sunrise."

With such a spacious house and a clear surrounding, it would be a beautiful sight.

"And when spring comes, we can go flower viewing."

The whole world will be filled with colorful seasons, with each passing day bringing a different hue.

As we continue talking, she opens her mouth.

"Oh, no!"

Her words are filled with urgency. Startled, she jumps up and exclaims with a shocked expression on her face.

"T-There are so many bugs outside and the bees they sting"

She says this and her face immediately scrunches up as if she's about to cry.

Dokyun still don't know what these bugs mean or what they represent to her.

However, judging from her occasional reactions, he can anticipate that the outside world is a terrifying place for her.

This saddens him deeply.

He stop brushing her cheek gently and look straight into her eyes.

"It's okay."

"Oh, no"

"I'm okay. Um"

Dokyun pause for a moment, carefully choosing his words.

"If, and I mean if, I were to get sick"

He want her to understand my intentions. He organize my thoughts and speak.

"Then you can take care of me, Eunah."Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

"Me?"

"I'll grill the meat. I'm really good at grilling meat."

"Oh"

There was a somewhat suspicious look in her eyes.

Dokyun managed to cover up his momentarily shaken confidence, forced a smile, and spoke.

"Just trust me once."

"Okay"

She nodded.

While looking at her for a moment, Dokyun suddenly asked a question that arose in his mind.

"Is there anything you want to do with me, Eunah?"

"Umm"

She started to ponder, her face momentarily furrowing.

"A, walk!"

A short answer came out.

'Walking.'

Suddenly, the rising thought was that it was very writer-like.

Somewhere she had heard that when writers couldn't come up with ideas for their work, they went for a walk.

With that thought in mind, Dokyun, who had been chuckling at the absurd thought that had crossed his mind, answered while sweeping his hand down her back as she nestled into his chest.

"That sounds good. Since the Han River has a nice walking path, shall we go there?"

"Yes!"

In response to Dokyun's question, she brightened her face and answered.

"Then, let's go as soon as spring comes so we don't have to wait long. Since there might be a lot of people, let's hold hands tightly and walk all day."

"Uh, okay! I-I can't fall!"

Her face showed signs of wanting to pout as her mouth twitched upwards.

"I-I'll hold on tight! I'll hold your hand!"

Pushing her chest forward and proudly offering her words, Dokyun, who had been laughing at her somewhat pitiful appearance, leaned forward and kissed her forehead before speaking.

"Thank you. I'll trust only Eunah."

"Yes! I-I trust only you!"

Her blushing face as she answered with a bashful smile once again touched his heart.

A pleasant tremor passed between them, and they continued talking for a while.

Starting from the Christmas that had just passed and how they would spend this winter, where they would go for outings in the upcoming spring, how they would endure the summer heat, and what they would eat to satisfy their appetites in the fall.

They made plans for a long time, and before they knew it, it was time to plan how they would spend the next winter.

Dokyun looked at her, who was pondering with a frown, for a moment, then gently stroked her head and spoke.

"When winter begins, let's look back on what we did over the past year."

To feel that this much happiness had been experienced, they would have to look back on it.

"To do that we'll have to take a lot of pictures."

To be able to reminisce by flipping through each photo, it seemed necessary to leave behind many pictures.

"We'll talk about what we did at that time, and then think about how we'll spend the next year. Until then, and even after that, I'll always be by Eunah's side."

To make her feel anticipation rather than anxiety, to be able to confidently say that he will always be by her side.

He shared the picture he had painted in his mind with her like that.

Let's finish talking and look at her, she appeared nodding satisfactorily with a melted face.

"Go, good!"

Was it a satisfactory answer, will his words now be somewhat trusted?

Continuing to express my thoughts, it seemed like his words were reaching her a little.

Confirming him, Dokyun, who felt his heart gradually loosening, reached out his hand in front of her, clenched his fist, and opened his mouth as if making a finger gun gesture.

"Well, it's a promise."

"A promise!"

The warmth of the fingertips was transmitted, and soon they shyly entwined and embraced each other tightly.

"Dokyun"

Her words followed as their hands lightly touched.

"Look, copy!"

Their palms unfolded and passed each other as they touched.

Afterwards, as their hands separated and looked at her, a bright smile appeared.

Thump. Thump.

The pounding of the heart starting the hammering echoes in the ears.

The turmoil inside began to take on the shape of strong waves.

The smile that stole all attention was so beautiful.

In that moment, it felt instinctive.

This moment will be forever preserved in my mind.

For a day, a month, a year, and even beyond, until the moment my breath stops, it will never be erased from within me.

Thus, He will forever revolve around her.

'Hmm'

It was a very dangerous situation.

'But it's okay.'

That's what he thought.
