040 – Oinoi and the Little Stationery # 4

“Uh, President Kim. It’s me, farewell man. Director of the moving center! When I moved to Banpo, I moved all my luggage and opened all the boxes. Do you remember uh! Okay!”

My father was on the phone.

From people who have left the neighborhood to people who still live in the neighborhood.

Seeing that, her older sister Lee Seon-ah said.

“I think he really intends to call everyone. My dad used to be good at acting. Is it really possible than that? Can you find her mother….”

Lee Seon-ah remembered her mother.

How hard it has been since her mother disappeared.

It must have been especially difficult for her, especially her younger sister, Lee Jin-ah, because she took the initiative to fill her mother’s vacant positions, such as cooking and doing the laundry-.

But as Lee Jin-ah looked at her father’s back, she let out a worried sigh.

‘Daddy says that people change when he talks about mom.’

Lee Jin-ah knew very well how hard her father had tried to find her mother and was disappointed. She thought time had passed and she was all right now.

Apparently, the man who came today rekindled a spark in his father’s heart.

“Lee Jin-ah, return the phone too. Hopefully you can find her mother.”

“… ….”

When her older sister Seonah Lee tapped on her cell phone, her younger sister Jinah Lee’s attitude was quite aesthetic, but her older sister Seonah Lee understood why her younger sister had such an attitude.

Of course she didn’t say it.

‘He’s too sincere for a younger brother.’

Her younger brother, Lee Jin-ah, became a child who lost her dreams in many ways after her accident that day. Her appearance is colorful and noisy, but the inside is achromatic and plain.

Her older sister Lee Seon-ah was very sorry about that, but on the one hand, she didn’t like it.

‘If I succeed in finding her mother this time, everything will be back to normal. I think it will be real this time. Only this time. Did my illness get better? Eat a golden apple or something.’

The older sister Seonah Lee looked at the amulets and crosses attached to her house and throughout her room, as well as her stones from Mt. Jiri, which are said to have magical effects.

It was the result of pouring money all over the place to find her mother.

“Look at these amulets. When I think about it now, I really wasted money, time, and effort. Aren’t you disappointed so much that you decided not to look forward to it in the future?”

“… ….”

Lee Jin-ah did not answer. She

She is her younger sister, but she was a quiet girl.

She used to not do that.

She used to hang out with her sisters holding hands, and Lee Jin-ah said, “I want to be like her sister,” And she followed her around.

But everything changed after that day.

Lee Jin-ah’s personality became sharper and colder.

It must be ‘angry’.

Is it anger toward the world?

Or is she angry at the man who couldn’t save her mother even though he saved everyone else?

Otherwise-.

“Lee Jin-ah, are you doing this because you missed your mother’s hand? If only you had held her mother’s hand well, she would have been rescued together. Are you still upset because of that thought?”

Poof-.

Lee Jin-ah went into her room without answering Seon-ah Lee’s sharp question.

Clap-.

“Hey! This girl has the same habit of closing the door and going in when she has nothing to say! Hey!”

Bang bang-.

At the sound of her older sister knocking on her door, Jinah Lee put her headset on her head.

She felt a little better after a loud binge shook her head.

“I want to see my mother too.”

She was actually Jinah Lee, the one she wanted to see her mother more than anyone else.

Jinah Lee was only 11 years old when her mother disappeared.

However, Lee Jin-ah was someone who knew people’s feelings better than anyone else.

If it ‘fails’ this time, no, if it fails this time, her father will really give up all hope and fall into great despair-.

My sister must be like that too.

‘I’m sure I will too.’

She remembered hearing this joke from her sister’s boyfriend back in the day.

The reason why a man who won a 2 billion won lottery accidentally lost the lottery ticket and looked everywhere, but the only reason he didn’t look around was the inner pocket of his jacket.

– I thought she would really go crazy if she wasn’t even there! How is it? Not funny!

It was a joke that wasn’t even funny.

However, Lee Jin-ah’s feelings were exactly the same.

What if she even fails at Haildo?

“… ….”

Lee Jin-ah looked at her cell phone.

Her flashing yellow hair was reflected in the black screen of her cellphone.

‘What would my mother say if she saw me now? Even when her sister was hanging out with her bullies, she got really mad.’

Lee Jin-ah also missed her mother.

So, she opened her cell phone and dialed her old friends.

“Uh, Yuna. I am Lee Jin-ah.”

Try putting her hand in her inner pocket-.

She finally made up her mind.

“This oi noi, it is that she thinks it would be great if the prospective Korezina could see her mother again… ! This oi noi knows all about her grief over the loss of her mother….”

It’s Friday, the weekend is almost over.

Oi Noi recalled her promise to be in front of the best stationery store tomorrow, and she felt slightly depressed.

“Oi noi, did you lose her mother too?”

Oinoi was a fairy nymph.

I thought that nymphs were born naturally, but it seems that they are not.

“This Oinoi’s mother was Oinoi’s teacher… ! However, this Oinoi’s mother disappeared from view at some point….”

How would it feel to be separated from her mother?

Although both of my parents are alive, I thought it would really hurt my heart if my mom or dad disappeared or disappeared in an unexpected accident.

Soon Oi Noi added her words.

“This oi-noi, what if Master returns from a long way and is looking for this oi-noi… ! This oi-noi is in this distant land and cannot be found… !”

Indeed.

Oinoi seemed to be worried about that as well.

What if the teacher, who left somewhere, returns and tries to find Oi-Noi, but now Oi-Noi has fallen into a strange crack and left her hometown?

It was a sad story in many ways.

“Oinoi, I will also look into how you can return to your hometown.”

“As expected, the owner of the house… ! It’s that it’s strong… ! However, it is not necessary to go back to the homeland… ! Because there are no water purifiers and showers in my hometown… !”

Oi Noi, who looked somber until just now, regained her senses right away.

A shower and a water purifier that magically spurt water seemed to be better than going back to my old hometown.

Well, if you taste the conveniences of civilization, you won’t be able to go back to the days when you didn’t exist.

Anyway.

My desire to find a moving center wife was real to me too.

The only survivor I couldn’t save.

In a way, this was my mistake.

“I didn’t say anything, but I wonder if Lee Jin-ah was resentful of me?”

She wondered why couldn’t she save my mother ─ in fact, she wondered if Lee Jin-ah resented me so much. The owner of the moving center might have wanted to say a word mixed with resentment to me.

I’ve seen many times that grieving bereaved families can’t control their hearts and shoot arrows of criticism at others.

“I wish I had more strength back then.”

I felt a lot of helplessness while working as an Awakener.

Not to mention, I am a D-Class man who has been soaked with a sense of defeat and helplessness in his later years.

Is there another Awoken person who craved power like me?

I went to sleep with that feeling.

Looking forward to tomorrow.

And in the morning, a car stopped in front of the yard and honked its horn.

It was an old truck.

“Get ready and come out. I’ll wait inside.”

“Come on, let’s go. Aang, come with me too.”

!

-Zuji… !

Maybe because they slept soundly last night, Angangi and Kyeongkyeongi were in very good condition. If you succeed in opening the rift, you might end up fighting inside.

I also took good care of the beam saber.

Bureung-.

Finally, the old truck rattled off.

“This oi noi, it is very pleasant to ride in the back seat of this truck…” ! I’m going to recite a piece of this Oinoi poem… !”

Oinoi in the back seat of the truck started reciting a poem.

“I am called a nymph… ! A fairy without wings…. Dreaming of flying in the sky…. Like a nymph, she feels a little bit of envy toward her winged friends….”

What kind of strange poetry is this?

And Oinoi actually seemed to want to fly.

“But the oinoi is that there are trucks instead of wings… ! It is clear that no nymph has ever experienced riding in a truck… !”

It seemed so.

Pooh-wook-.

However, it spread while the car was going.

“This suddenly spreads.”

Lee Jin-ah kept checking her watch while kicking her tire. 5:30 P.M. When the crack opened. He must have been nervous about whether or not he could make it before that time.

I asked Lee Jin-ah.

“It’s an old truck. Wouldn’t it be nice to change it soon? It’s old.”

“Since the truck her mom and her dad have been riding since they were dating. I inherited it.”

“It’s old, but I think it’s good because it’s vintage.”

It was then.

Angang, who was riding on my shoulder, raised his head from side to side.

-Zuji-.

“What?”

I don’t know if it’s because of my mood, but now Angang is saying, “I can fix the car. I can control human emotions—” I felt like saying.

I put Angangi under the car just in case, but when Angangi got under the car, I heard something click-tighten the screw.

– Zuji!

“I think you want to turn on the engine?”

I said to Lee Jin-ah as I wiped the charred, dusty poop. When Lee Jin-ah turns her car key, the car starts again with a rumble.

It was a very surprising thing.

“Angangi, there really is nothing you can’t do!”

Honey ants fixing cars.

These days, when Angangi was looking at the car’s Me Tube on my smartphone, I thought it was just a coincidence, but it seems it wasn’t!

-Zuji… !

Bureung─.

The car finally started to start again.

Soon, Lee Jin-ah’s expression brightened.

“The engine sounds much better. Five more years to go!”

This is the first time I have ever seen this wrinkled Iljinnyeo so happy. It seems that this car was really precious. I decided to apologize honestly.

“Sorry for the old car.”

“Okay. Because it is true that it is old.”

“And I’m sorry I couldn’t save your mother back then. Your family would have lived that day over and over again, but I forgot about it.”

“… ….”

Lee Jin-ah opened her mouth as if slightly surprised.

She then turned her head and looked out the window on the highway, she said softly.

“No, it’s not your fault.”

With that feeling, we arrived in front of the best stationery store. And I couldn’t help but be surprised by Lee Jin-ah because there were many people in front of the stationery store.

They were people from the old neighborhood.

To be honest, I was skeptical that people would come.

Soon the owner of the stationery store came out of the store and said.

“You said you were going to find your wife? We also liked all the moving center wives. Because there was no one I didn’t know in town. Everyone came except Mr. Seo, who passed away last year.”

Nineteen.

It wasn’t the same number of people as back then, and everyone’s faces were different, but there were quite a few faces that were familiar to me as well.

Soon the stationery store owner said.

“Then let’s recreate where and how we walked at that time! They say you have to reduce the variable to get the same result or something, so just stand there!”

At the words of the owner of the stationery store, people in the neighborhood began to recreate the streets of the old days.

The owner of the stationery store said, “There used to be a mini car track on the street here.” He took out an old mini car track, and the 360-degree course was very cool.

Also, the stationery store owner took out an old arcade machine and left it on the street.

It literally feels like everything went back 10 years ago.

“I don’t know what it is, but it’s a very cool thing… !”

When Oinoi shows interest in mini car tracks and arcade machines-.

Her older sister Lee Seon-ah reached out her hand to her younger sister Lee Jin-ah.

“We should hold hands too. At that time, we were walking hand in hand.”
