Into the book
… …
Han Seung-gyu waved at me without knowing my speed.
I waved my hand, pretending to be happy.
Gyuri and Han Seung-gyu supported an old man side by side.
I wish I was the grandfather supported by Han Seung-gyu.
Seungkyu Han and Gyuri were holding their grandfather's hands and chatting and laughing, wondering what was so funny.
Suddenly, I started to feel a sharp pain in my lower abdomen.
The pain got worse and worse, as if my stomach was twisted.
The more the intestines in his stomach twisted, the brighter Han Seung-gyu's expression became as he smiled broadly outside the window.
And at the end of his gaze, Gyuri's face, smiling along with him, caught his eye.
“We’re just laughing together, it’s nothing.”

--- From the text "Lee Song-hyeon, 4 PM, Dalgona"
The next day, I came out to the stream a little late.
On this day, a girl was sitting in the middle of the stepping stones and washing her face.
The arms and nape of the neck with the sleeves of the pink sweater rolled up were completely white.
After washing my face for a while, I look into the water.
It would be nice to at least see the face.
Suddenly grab the water.
It's as if a baby fish is passing by.
The girl doesn't know whether the boy is sitting on the bank of the stream or not, but she just quickly grabs the water.
But every time it is in vain.
It's just so funny, it just keeps on swallowing water.
It seems like I have to make way for someone crossing the stream like yesterday.
Then the girl picks something up from the water.
It was a white pebble.
Then he gets up and jumps across the stepping stones.
After crossing, he suddenly turned back this way,
“This idiot.”
A pebble flew in.
The boy stood up without realizing it.

Sometimes we grow through special events or circumstances, and sometimes we grow little by little without realizing it in the same daily routine.
