Chapter 107 – Episode 107
If you hear the sound of bangchang banging while you are sleeping, you will have exactly that expression.
A face that suddenly says, “What are you talking about?”
Even Hanaebom in the world tilted her head as she pondered the meaning of what I said.
“Oppa, are you no longer satisfied with just exercising at home? When I saw you during sex, I noticed that your body has improved a lot these days. Am I becoming more greedy?”
“Something like that… Ah!”
A beat later, Han Ae-bom realized something and looked at Yoon Su-ah.
Because she saw me finding a way to transport people up the mountain.
“Huh? What’s going on?”
Aebom said while looking at Yoon Su-ah tilting her head.
“… So Su-ah is going with you, right?”
I nodded.
“Yes. To be precise, our goal is to take Su-ah to the top.”
I feel sorry for the two people, but if I had to, I was planning on asking them to pull the cart as well. I estimated that it would be possible on my own, but no one knows what will happen in the world.
I wouldn’t know if it were someone else. Because it was related to Yoon Su-ah, I prepared really thoroughly.
Starting with first aid, everything includes how to call 119 and report a disaster or incident in the mountains.
‘If it were my life, I wouldn’t have done this.’
Funny enough, it felt even heavier because it was someone else’s life. Was I this good of a guy?
“Me, hiking?”
Yun Su-ah’s voice overflowed with vitality. She was a person who was so happy with just the word mountaineering.
However, her vitality did not last long.
“… No way. Are you okay? I’ve been feeling a bit better these days. Still, hiking would be difficult. Above all, only you will suffer because of me.”
“How much have you given up like that?”
“… !”
Now I know.
The fact that Yun Su-ah came to this studio was already risking her life.
“I hope you make up your mind. Let’s be a little more greedy.”
At my words, I see Yoon Su-ah clenching her fists and biting her lips tightly. She feels strange looking at that.
One side of her chest was very sore. Shit. I’ve never been this desperate for myself before.
Even when I worked part-time at a convenience store and promised myself that I should get out of this situation and get on the same track as other ordinary people, I still turned my eyes away from reality to some extent.
Now, I was working harder than ever for others and at the same time feeling great satisfaction. I don’t know if I’m weird, or if being human actually feels more rewarding when we live for others.
“I also want to show Yoon Su-ah as much as possible and let her experience it as much as possible.”
I was feeling more alive than ever.
“But…”
Rather than feeling frustrated, seeing Yoon Su-ah hesitate even after doing this was heartbreaking. At best, hiking. It is a life in which even one cannot be easily nodded.
How painful it must have been.
He must have even experienced it for so long that he could live without it showing any signs of it.
“Soo-ah, it’s okay. Let’s trust Hyeonwoo for once. “I prepared hard for today.”
As expected, Mr. Aebom, you are a reliable supporter.
“That’s right, sister! When my brother is untrustworthy, he is infinitely untrustworthy, but when he is trustworthy, there is no other man like him. A man who does what he does! Grandpa, Kim Hyeon-woo!”
What is this subtle compliment? Is it a compliment or an insult?
Anyway, it seemed like Yoon Su-ah’s iron wall was crumbling thanks to the support from the two people.
“Well, lately I’ve been coming home from work late. You were so busy in one way or another…”
“It was all about hiking with Su-ah.”
After hearing my answer, Suah Yoon smiled and answered with tears streaming down her face.
“Then again… “I’ll take care of you.”
Looking at that sad yet happy face, I promised myself once again. Even if my body breaks, I will show that person the top of the mountain.
So, I planned to make another memory and bring happiness. More than what I received from her.
* * *
Sunday morning.
I woke up much earlier than other people and was busy. I take out the cart that I had hidden in a corner so as not to disturb others and to prevent anyone from stealing it.
I laid the blanket I had ordered in advance on top of it, and also placed a neck pillow.
“Suddenly!” “Rock!”
I returned to the studio only after checking once again for possible safety and sturdiness. I thought I had to wake everyone up, but when I opened the front door and went in, Ohana was already up, yawning and moving around diligently.
Han Ae-bom is also calm, so she double-checks the supplies she needs for hiking, and Yoon Su-ah is packing her lunch box, even humming to her.
A variety of foods, including kimbap, fried tofu sushi, and fruit, are packed into the lunch box.
‘The world’s the happiest face.’
She was Yoon Su-ah, who couldn’t even attend school properly. Of course, she couldn’t go on field trips or picnics that everyone has experienced at least once in their lives.
For her, today was like the first picnic of her life.
“I’m ready.”
“Me Too!”
“Me too.”
Han Ae-bom and Oh Hana decided to carry the backpacks. Because I had to pick up Yoon Su-ah and pull her cart.
“In the beginning, I will walk on my own feet.”
“No. “I heard that before, it was difficult to travel by car with my family.”
“That’s right, but…”
“Even if my physical strength has improved since then, it still won’t be easy. Just lie down from start to finish.”
“Then wouldn’t it be too difficult for Hyunwoo?”
“Not at all!”
I grinned, showing off my biceps that were bigger than before. I planned to be her superhero just for today.
Let’s not show weakness.
“Tskcha.”
She carefully placed the shy Yoon Su-ah in her cart. She asked as he put the pillow on her neck.
“It’s not inconvenient, right?”
“It’s very comfortable.”
Because she put that much money and effort into it.
The picture itself is a bit strange and funny. Because there was a beauty with her neck pillow riding in her cart. She is a sight that is difficult to see in one’s life.
Even today, far away in front of the church, the women who hand out biscuits and wet tissues look at me with strange eyes. Shit. I’m afraid of what they’re thinking now. Following pervert, is it weird or something like that? Please, don’t just report it!
Still, if I had been dragging the cart alone, I might have died of shame.
“Then! Shall we start off with strength for her Sua and her older sister? Let’s go… Dory!”
It was fortunate that there was a woman with a scar on her face and a trustworthy woman by her side.
“Go!”
I used my strength and started pulling the cart.
“Let’s go!”
Yoon Su-ah also shouted in a happy voice. Her head, which was always confined to her studio, is constantly turning.
At best, I’m just walking upwards from my studio apartment.
“Oh! There was a laundry room over there. Even the billiards room.”
“I see. Plus, there’s a new rib restaurant.”
“Look over there. There is also a claw machine shop.”
Sights that would not have been surprising to anyone else seemed all new to Yoon Su-ah.
“Drurk, drool!”
It was more worth doing than I thought. Even though I am still climbing the uphill road, which has its own incline, should I say that knowledge is great?
“ Dream, Drag! ”
As we got closer to the mountain with carts, there were more people walking on the streets. People who come to a hamburger shop to take out hamburgers, people who go to the gym on the weekend, people who come to the supermarket to buy fruit, even children who run with a ball to an elementary school that can be freely used because it is the weekend.
“What is that cart?”
They all look at us with strange eyes.
This is my first time.
She was overcoming everyone’s beauty with her strangeness.
[Cheonyeongsan Mountain]
[3.4 km on the way to Hansang University]
[10.9 km road to the summit]
Finally, the sign I had checked several times appeared.
Behind the sign, you can see an endless uphill road.
The road to the university leads to flat ground that is perfect for exercising, but the road to the top of the mountain leads to a non-stop uphill road.
“Haha, are you going up the mountain like that? Wow, that’s amazing.”
“Yes! “Isn’t it cool?”
“I see. Cheer up!”
Maybe it’s because it’s Sunday morning. Hikers dressed professionally in mountaineering clothes and bags line up and say a few words to each other as they climb the mountain.
Ohana accepted it with ease.
“Dad, why is that sister riding that car?”
“Ugh. “I want to ride that too!”
There were times when children approached me as if they were curious or envious. Parents took care of those things.
Regardless, I focused on my work.
“Then, where should we go up?”
“Yes!”
A message appeared before her eyes along with Yoon Su-ah’s smiling face.
[The epic quest has begun.]
There was no turning back now.
*
“Omg! “It’s a squirrel!”
When I was about 1/3 of the way up the mountain. So, just when I started to feel a little bit of pain in my wrists, waist, and thighs, Ohana shouted.
Everyone turned their gaze, including the hikers she was climbing with in the direction she pointed with her finger. Then, a squirrel is seen next to the tree, cutely pursing its lips and looking this way.
“Wow! “It’s a squirrel!”
When a child ran towards him out of curiosity, the squirrel spread the distance at lightning speed and climbed up the hill. Okay. That’s normal.
However…
“Oh my.”
I didn’t really tempt you with food. Before I knew it, two squirrels were crawling on Yun Su-ah’s shoulders, pursed lips. What? How did they do it? Just as I received the quest, perhaps Yoon Su-ah also awakened into something like a Beast Master?
Wouldn’t it be possible to summon a bear now with a skill?
“I guess they smelled nuts.”
Then, Suah Yun took out the nuts she had put in her pocket and placed them on her palm. Then she was like a squirrel, gnawing nuts on top of her buttocks.
“Hmm.”
The faces of those bastards look too comfortable to have been attracted just by the smell of nuts. As if you were in your own home.
“Oh! It’s a goat farm! “Is there some kind of goat farm on the mountain?”
“I thought it was a bit surprising when I first saw it.”
But it really was there. Not to mention the goat farm, which proudly displays a sign prohibiting public entry. There was also a small vegetable garden grown separately by the owner of this mountain. It’s a bit sad that there’s a sign in front of the garden that says “Please don’t steal.”
No, is there anyone who steals these things? There are all kinds of people in the real world.
Did it go up to about two-thirds like that?
Despite my fighting spirit, I was starting to feel physically tired. Ohana shouted again, pointing at something of hers.
Before we knew it, sweat was pouring down like rain from the heads of Oh Hana and Han Ae Bom. Even though neither of us had any physical strength, mountain climbing wasn’t easy when we tried it for the first time.
“Buy… It’s sansjang! Let’s take a short break over there.”
“Okay. As a side note, let’s eat some fruit here. To recharge my energy.”
Ohana quickly took Yoon Su-ah and led her to her waist rotation device. It’s just an ordinary waist twist, but since Oh Hana and Yoon Su-ah are doing it, it becomes a scene from the drama.
“Huh.”
As I slump down on a chair and take a gulp of an ionic drink, a banana suddenly pops out next to me. When I look to the side, I see Han Ae Bom standing there.
“Eat this. “Banana is good for recovering lost stamina.”
“Thank you.”
After giving me her banana, Aebom wiped my sweat without even thinking about wiping her own.
“Are you okay? “Would you like to shift a little?”
“No. It’s okay.”
I tried my best to pretend nothing was wrong and massaged her left wrist with my right hand. I feel a small tremor.
It shouldn’t have been like this already.
I thought about this while looking at Yun Su-ah, who was smiling happily while turning her back in the distance.
I have to endure it.
“Let’s start again!”
Even considering Yun Su-ah’s physical strength, her break was short.
I put Yun Su-ah on her cart again and bit her.
