Returner’s Magic Laundry

As soon as my signal ended, I saw her running away like a lie.

She expected it, but it was also unexpected.

Normally she would have to run to catch her bus at this time, but she thought she wouldn't come if Go Kun-soo was her mate.

But she came.

She had already run to catch the bus she had gone.

Seeing her approaching me, I unwittingly recalled a poem by Khalil Gibran.

[When love beckons you, follow him;

Even if the road to love is hard and steep.

When the wings of love surround him, surrender to him,

Even if the sword hidden in the feathers of love harms you.

If love speaks to you, believe him,

As the song of the north wind destroys the garden, though the voice of love destroys your dreams.]

Midwinter rushed to the bus stop and looked around, breathing heavily.

did you see me

“Uh, aren’t you a friend of Director Ko?”

I saw.

Reluctantly, I turned my head.

Her face turned red from the cold, and white breath appeared and disappeared with each breath.

[Love will crucify you the moment it crowns you. Love will prune you the moment it tries to grow you.

Love rises to your height and caresses your softest branches swaying in the sun, it will descend to your roots and shake your roots to the ground.

"Ah yes. See you here again.”

“Did the bus pass by?”

“A 278G bus?”

"Yeah."

“It passed quickly. I missed it too.”

I missed it on purpose... … .

“Oh, it’s broken. Dad would be mad.”

She had a curfew, and she had to go home until the last train broke unconditionally.

But she won't go home today.

She heard the phone ring in her bag.

“Aww, even if it’s a little late, this riot. I know that if I go out with my daughter, she will be eaten.”

She paused for a moment as she pulled out her cell phone to answer the call.

“You don’t get it?”

She doesn't answer my words and turns off the phone.

Then I look at the sky

“Wow, it’s the first snow. It’s snowing, so I don’t want to go home.”

She will ask for another drink.

“Writer, the bus is cut off, would you like to have another drink?”

“I’m not that writer.”

“Director Ko wrote a short screenplay.”

“That is the first and last scenario. Just call me Annam.”

"Ah yes. Anyway, let’s have a drink.”

will you refuse?

Then our relationship will end here.

I loved her too much for that.

Her love is so deep that it hurts even deeper than that.

Why did we fight like that?

Had they cut each other so horribly with words like sharp daggers?

Why did they have to be so cruel to each other?

The beginning is so beautiful and brilliant.

I still remember her dagger words she told me in her previous life.

I envy her for being able to have her face full of her anticipation for her first love to begin.

Because she still doesn't know the cruel things she said to each other.

“It looked like it would snow a lot, but soon the snowflakes got smaller.”

“It’s like the first snow. I waited that long, but it disappears quickly without any reward. Yes, I'll make you wait again."

Midwinter stares at my face saying that.

“Why am I familiar with Annam? If you hadn't seen it in Cannes, you'd have seen it for the first time today. Why are you so familiar with it and keep staring at me? Why do you keep making eye contact?”

Surprised by that, I took a step back without realizing it.

It flows differently from the conversation of a previous life.

Did she feel something?

Could it be that her powerful thread of fate is connecting her with me?

“Because I’m a bit ordinary… … .”

“Annam-san also kept looking at me. as if you knew me It’s like seeing someone you know.”

She was at a loss for words.

Midwinter had a sharp side, but I didn't expect it to be this much.

Come to think of it, I think she fought more because of this.

She wanted to be inside me, and she wanted to understand every single thought of me.

If we get together again, if I try.

Can we have a relationship go the other way?

That won't happen.

If meeting her is her destiny, then breaking up with her is also her destiny.

This was a different matter than saving someone who was doomed to die.

I would have saved her somehow if her rather her she was her destiny to die her.

But love is different.

It is the human heart, the feeling of love, that no matter how hard we try, things do not go our way.

“Have a drink. I have to take a taxi anyway.”

She smiles broadly at my words.

"Really? She didn't answer, so she almost gave up and took a taxi."

“On the way there, I saw there was a food stall. Would you like to go there?”

It was the first place we drank together in our previous lives.

"Yes, I like it."

“By the way, can I not contact my parents?”

Her father had met several times in her previous life.

I didn't like my job as a film director.

Anyway, if it was a daughter's business, he was a yangban who would plunge into hell.

Because when we parted, he came to me and even shaved our cheeks

“You can text me.”

Perhaps she won't be able to sleep until her daughter comes home.

Anyway, we made our way.

Snowflakes were like dust and were flying.

‘The Snow Queen’s Tears!’

After shouting a summoning spell inside, he made snow and flew it.

Snow starts to fall.

“Wow, what? I thought it would stop soon, but it turned into a lot of eyes again.”

Midwinter ran a few steps forward and spread her hands to catch the falling snow.

I smiled and followed her.

“Come quickly. Are you here?”

As she opened the plastic door of one of her roadside stalls, she waved her hand and urged it.

She ordered oden-tang as a snack and drank her soju one by one.

“I thought you were going to be with Director Ko.”

"Iknow, right. But why am I here? Whoops. I am also a mystery.”

I know she saw me coming out and followed her.

Later, when our love reached its peak, she said.

I thought she fell in love with me because I was an award-winning director at the Cannes Film Festival.

The moment I saw her pictured with her friends, I had an idea.

Can I love someone who is not a film director?

But when I saw her figure in front of me now, I was moved to tears.

My eyes got hot.

If time goes by like this, we will fall in love again as we used to.

I just stared at her face without saying a word.

“Annam, do you have a girlfriend?”

I felt my hand holding the soju glass twitch at her question.

It was the first question I asked in my previous life.

[Winter, do you have a boyfriend?]

[No, no. Who is Director Pyo?]

[Fortunately, neither am I.]

[Are you happy? Whoops.]

The conversation will go something like this.

And this was our beginning.

I hesitated and answered.

“… … No, no. How about Mr. Winter?”

“Fortunately, neither am I.”

“Are you happy? Whoops.”

I realized that I was reciting lines that I had already memorized.

[Mr. Winter... … Then shall we meet only ten times?]

[why?]

[Because it seems like something is pulling me in just to break up like this. I want to know what it is.]

[Hahaha.]

[Why are you laughing?]

This is our next conversation.

With hesitation, I could not easily continue the next conversation and just emptied the soju glass.

The unbearable midwinter opens its mouth first.

“Mr. Annam… … Then shall we meet only ten times?”

My silence was useless.

In the end, the words were meant to come out.

“… … why?"

“To just break up like this… … .”

“Something seems to be pulling you, and you want to know what it is?”

I cut her off quickly and hurriedly recite her words, which were originally my lines.

Midwinter is a little surprised when she intercepts her own words.

“Uh, how can I say… … . ho ho ho.”

She smiles awkwardly.

"Why are you laughing?"

“No, what. I think we get along very well right now. I think we are thinking the same thing.”

“What if we knew what it was?”

“… … How is it?”

“Wouldn’t it be better not to know? Wouldn't it be futile when we found out what we were trying to know, like the far side of the moon we wanted to know so much, when we found out that it was nothing?"

Without realizing it, I led the conversation differently from my previous life.

It was taking time in its own way.

time to start.

Why?

Why am I wasting time?(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

If we just love her unconditionally like we did in our previous life, and know the future, if we solve the problems that caused us to break up one by one, we might get married and live together forever.

But even so, there was something that grabbed my backbone.

“… … Why do you assert that it will be like the far side of the moon? It may not be.”

“All ‘identities’ in the world are essentially nothing. It’s like a bluff inflated with curiosity and fear of the unknown.”

“What kind of bullshit philosophy is this? It really breaks the mood.”

She sighed in disappointment, then she picked up a bottle of soju and filled her glass.

I drank a few cups in succession and tried to fill her again, so I reached out and stopped her.

‘It’s dangerous to drink more here.’

He didn't drink much in the middle of winter, but once he drank it, he became a dog.

Her drinking habits were also one of the reasons we often fought.

“What?”

“There is an injection. Stop drinking.”

“Hey, how did you know I had that injection? Hey, hey, you definitely know me. Come on tell me do you know me Because those eyes in the theater are not the eyes that people who do not know can make.”

seemed to have made a mistake.

Once the pod is caught, it will dig endlessly.

I got up thinking I had to stop.

“I think it would be better to just go. See you next time and talk.”

Midwinter seemed a little drunk, she staggered and woke up.

“You didn’t answer. ten times.”

“… … .”

“I’ll catch you a taxi. Follow me.”

I quickly calculated and left.

It seemed like she couldn't let her go as she kept going.

Her lips, which she had kissed countless times in her previous life, continued to catch my eye.

Even after marrying someone else, sometimes her face suddenly came to mind and I was in agony.

With the power of my magic, it was still snowing outside, and the floor was already covered with white snow.

I went to the roadside to catch a taxi, but there was no empty car.

"Hey! The other side of the moon!”

She came out of the food cart, shouted at me, and ran with her crossbody bag.

There was a scratch on her self-esteem, so it was enough to hit one.

“Oh, be careful. It’s slippery!”

It's already late.

The frictionless floor of the canvas she was wearing glided across her eyes, she seemed to stumble and she stumbled backwards.

She was far from running to catch her.

'rattan!'

When she uttered her summoning spell, a wisteria grew in an instant from the floor above her back in midwinter, preventing her from falling and pushing her away at the same time.

I wondered if the body of midwinter would float in the air, and as she flew, she snuggled into my arms.

I don't know what's going on, her eyes widen and she looks at me in my arms.

“Oh my, I didn’t do that on purpose.”

“… … .”

“Even if you know what's on the far side of the moon, we haven't been there. You have to check it with your own eyes... … .”

I covered her lips and kissed her.
