Jeong Taeui could only click his tongue and swallow those words because of his faint heart,
and then he glared at Ilay.
"Alright, say what you want to say. Why did you call me out of the blue?"
After calming down a bit, Jeong Taeui bluntly asked. But Ilay just stared at him silently, then
mumbled to himself vaguely.
["Do you really not believe that I called just to know how you are?"]
"Please, stop talking nonsense. What is it? Do you want to know about someone or
something about UNHRDO?"
As Jeong Taeui asked, he thought about the people worth calling to gather news like this. Ilay
tapped on the table next to the bed for a moment, then shrugged as if to say he could think
whatever in resignation.
["It's been a while since Officer Jeong Changin was there, huh? Too bad, I haven't seen him
for a long time, it would be great to meet him there."]
"Your face doesn't look regretful at all when you say that. If you're so regretful, why don't
you come and meet him in a month? I'm sure he will be back soon."
["Huh...?"]
"The International Aviation Technology Forum will be held in Frankfurt next month. He said
he would come back after that. Oh, right. Jaeui will also be there, so it might be a rare family
reunion for me."
As Jeong Taeui spoke, he wondered if he had managed to put on clothes yet? Anyway, he
wanted to at least put on some underwear first. Well, if that guy is satisfied, then I guess I can
get fully dressed now. Jeong Taeui thought and sneakily pulled his clothes together intending
to put them on. But suddenly he realized. Ilay had been just silently staring at him all this
time.
".... …..What's up?"
["They said they will come and then leave right away… …..? So, will you also go to
Frankfurt?"]
His voice quivered slightly at the end with a click of his tongue. Jeong Taeui stopped dressing
and silently stared at him for a few seconds.
"...Yes. He also said he wouldn't have enough time to stop by Berlin. Jaeui said the same."
["That's unfortunate."]"What is?"
["Let's meet them next time."]
Jeong Taeui fell silent again. This time, the silence lasted even longer.
Jeong Taeui threw down the clothes he was holding and sat staring straight at the screen.
"So you're telling me not to go?"
["Um."]
"Even if I'm just going to meet my family?"
["Let's meet them next time."]
".... ….."
".... ….. ..."
Jeong Taeui looked at Ilay, puzzled for a moment. His eyes briefly showed disapproval, then
quickly turned threatening.
"I don't like that."
["Don't go out, just stay there."]
"Hey, you're still outside and you want me to stay home alone...…!"
["Don't go out."]
"I DON'T LIKE IT!!!"
Actually, he didn't dislike it to that extent, nor was he determined enough to desperately want
to meet his uncle and brother this time. But hearing those cold, commanding tones made him
want to act contrary to those words even more.
When Jeong Taeui loudly interrupted him, Ilay's eyes immediately darkened.
["Jeong Taeui. Don't go."]
He spoke gravely, articulating each word clearly, those words stabbing into his ears like a
knife.
Hearing that voice, the fragile and vulnerable heart of Jeong Taeui stirred again. At the same
time, realizing his own timidity, he could only sigh internally. This life was his, yet he could
not go where he wanted or meet whom he wanted.
"Why can't I go?"Jeong Taeui asked dejectedly. There was no answer. So he could only repeat the question
once more.
"Why can't I go?"
[Because I don't like it.]
AAA... this guy really...!
Jeong Taeui's eyes momentarily flared with anger.
[Jeong Taeui, when people are still saying nice things, it's best to listen to them.]
His voice now was even deeper, seemingly devoid of any comfort, the usual laughter gone,
sounding like he was issuing a command rather than having a normal conversation. Jeong
Taeui tilted his head and looked at the screen. Ilay, facing him, looked straight at him, his
face utterly serious.
At that moment, something inside him coiled. Suddenly, he wanted to do something
impulsive without caring about the consequences. He was even surprised by his own bravery.
Jeong Taeui leaned forward, his face close to the screen, and looked straight into Ilay's eyes,
then smiled. Finally, he slowly said.
"In a month, I'll go before you come back."
["Jeong Tae——"]
Just before that voice, now three times more threatening, could finish calling his name, Jeong
Taeui immediately hung up the phone in fear.
As the voice was cut off along with the screen going dark in front of him. Jeong Taeui
grabbed it and stared at the screen. As if afraid that it would light up again and reflect that
terrifying face, Jeong Taeui hastily unplugged the phone cord. Then he sat there, staring
angrily at the phone for a few more seconds.
".....I...."
Jeong Taeui took a deep breath, hesitantly set the phone down, and then groaned to himself.
".....where did I get the courage to do this...."
He mumbled absent-mindedly, then looked down at the phone as if soulless and hugged his
head, moaning in self-reproach.
"I'm crazy, how am I going to face this now..."
Jeong Taeui's mind was only snapped back to reality when he heard someone walking in the
hallway far outside. Only then did he hurriedly check his current state - still sitting nakedalone in a dark, ownerless room. Jeong Taeui quickly dressed, still continuously moaning -
"I'm crazy, really crazy…" - and stepped outside.
***************************
The worries that he could not come up with solutions for would soon turn into regrets and
self-blame.
Why did he say that? What was he planning to do by saying that? Jeong Taeui continuously
hit his chest, his poor heart weeping.
Upon reflection, it felt even more pathetic and sorrowful to be so hesitantly regretful when
his mistake wasn't that big.
Jeong Taeui stayed up all night.
His eyes wide open, he staggered outside. Now, he continually felt sad for his life and full of
regret, only able to look up at the sky, not knowing what to do.
How unpredictable the weather is.
For about two months now, there hasn't been a single rainstorm, and the sky was clear as
polished glass, seemingly on the verge of shattering. Jeong Taeui even wondered if summer
had truly begun.
Until the morning Jeong Taeui stepped out of the house, there were a few dark clouds in the
sky, but they were just a few clouds, and the sky was still very blue.
But now.
Outside, it was raining heavily with thunder and lightning. The whole world was enveloped
by a stormy downpour.
"It's pouring rain..."
Jeong Taeui looked outside and clicked his tongue.
It wasn't far from his home from here. Just about a 5-minute walk. But just 5 minutes under
this torrential downpour would be enough to drench him completely.
Actually, getting a bit wet wouldn't be a problem, but since he had no urgent matters that
required him to rush home in such heavy rain, Jeong Taeui decided to wait for the rain to
lessen or stop for over an hour.
Might as well just go. Consider it a rainwater shower.
As Jeong Taeui was about to step out the door, a bolt of lightning flashed, as if wanting to
incinerate the dark world in an instant. That light made him instinctively shut his eyes tightly.
Moments later, the thunder sounded majestic as if the sky was about to collapse.".....Since I'm here already, waiting a bit longer won't hurt..."
Jeong Taeui sneakily removed his hand from the door handle and stepped back inside.
The church was quiet with not a soul in sight.
The walls were adorned with exquisitely sculpted statues, neither too large nor too small.
Behind was a stained glass window.
Although this was a sacred and revered space, the atmosphere felt strange, perhaps due to the
darkness settling in and the absence of anyone else here. Amid the thunder and lightning
seeming to tear the sky apart outside, the feeling became even more bizarre.
Jeong Taeui calmly sat down on a bench near the door and gazed at the crucifix at the front of
the church.
He didn't follow any religion, nor did he care much about such matters, and neither did his
family. When he was a cadet at the military academy, his superior officer was a devout
Christian. So, every Sunday, he would often be dragged to confess for various misdeeds he
had committed. But in any case, it didn't leave any special impression on him.
Until now, he has remained indifferent and neither particularly fond nor averse to any
religion.
However, people often cling to somewhere as a spiritual refuge when they are afraid of
something.
…..That's how he feels now...….
Jeong Taeui scratched his head. His taste turned bitter. It seemed he could still hear Kyle's
gentle voice and his forced laughter echoing in his ears.
"Where are you headed?"
This morning, after a later than usual breakfast, as Kyle hurriedly got into the back seat of the
car James had ready for work, he saw Jeong Taeui walking towards the main gate. When he
curiously asked him, Jeong Taeui could only respond dejectedly.
"I have to go to church for a while to atone for the karma I caused in my past life... ….."
Kyle gave him a strange look. It seemed he couldn't understand Jeong Taeui's mood at that
moment as he blamed himself and even mentioned a past life. Jeong Taeui immediately read
that indescribable expression on Kyle's face. It was a mix of a smile about to burst forth and
extreme patience to keep it from erupting.
Earlier, while having breakfast, Kyle had asked if he had a nightmare the previous night
because he seemed a bit off. Jeong Taeui, without thinking, blurted out, "Ilay called last
night."
Kyle blinked, his forkful of salad paused in mid-air."What did he call for?"
Jeong Taeui responded, his mind seemingly in the clouds.
"He said he wanted to call to check on my health."
Kyle had a very puzzled look full of question marks. But seeing Jeong Taeui's expression as
if there were dark clouds over his head, fortunately, he didn't ask anything further.
Later, perhaps Kyle had guessed the reason for Jeong Taeui's gloominess since morning when
he spoke about 'the karma of his past life.'
Kyle often looked at Jeong Taeui with a sense of regret, wondering how he could have made
such a wrong choice. This time, he was very tactful, trying hard to suppress his laughter and
then cleared his throat.
"If going to church to repent for the sins of your past life and finding some peace of mind is
good, but Taeil, if I point out a few pronunciation errors in those words you used, would that
be okay...….?"
"If you could do that later, I would be very grateful..."
Jeong Taeui responded with a mournful tone, and Kyle immediately nodded and shut his
mouth.
He declined Kyle's offer to give him a ride to the church, choosing instead to walk there
alone in a few minutes with a heavy heart.
And now.
He didn't know if it was because the church was completely empty, or because the place was
too quiet, or because he had been restless and sleepless the night before, or because of
regretting a sin that he wasn't even sure he had committed, but he felt very tired and sleepy.
By the time Jeong Taeui regained his alertness, several hours had passed.
Jeong Taeui looked at the clock and was startled to think about heading home when it started
to pour heavily.
"....."
He clicked his tongue and scratched his head. Nothing went smoothly today. The weather
was bad, and so was his mood.
Sitting inside the church, looking up at the statues above, Jeong Taeui sighed again.
Thinking back, he realized he had dozed off earlier and hadn't actually managed to repent for
the sins of his past life. Maybe now was the time to try something he had only heard about
before? It seems that even non-Catholics who have never been to church do that.
Jeong Taeui then thought about the sins of his past life."In my past life, I must have committed a grave sin, because I became a wanted criminal
alongside a terrorist. The shameful acts that the terrorist committed, I couldn't even speak of
them. Just last night, let's see….."
Realizing he was about to recount such stories, Jeong Taeui vigorously shook his head,
dismissing those repentant thoughts.
Jeong Taeui bowed his head, releasing a weary sigh.
In the church, surrounded by no one, only the absolute silence enveloped everything, making
the sound of the rain seem even louder.
The moment Jeong Taeui looked up, he noticed that someone had opened the door and was
entering. Through the slightly open door, he could see the heavy rain still pouring down.
With this situation, it seemed like the rain wouldn't stop anytime soon. Could it be that a
devout follower braved the storm to come to the church?
The person wore a raincoat that covered them from head to toe, they stepped inside then
paused upon seeing Jeong Taeui. It was as if they hadn't expected anyone to be there.
They mouthed something, then continued inside and removed their hood. Raindrops fell
along the hem of their coats.
In the next moment, Jeong Taeui was speechless.
In this dimly lit church, the young man, clicking his tongue as he wiped a few raindrops from
his platinum blond hair under the soft light of the partially open door, seemed to shimmer
ethereally against the somber background behind him.
Beautiful as a painting.
He looked like a sculpted statue. Just standing there was enough to make the place sparkle.
It seemed all the beauty words in the world could be used to describe this young man.
Jeong Taeui was stunned for a moment by this surreal beauty and finally regained his senses
when he realized the young man's gaze was on him. Although he knew it was impolite to
stare at someone, he couldn't help but look a little longer.
"Are you here alone?"
However, seemingly accustomed to that gaze, the young man bluntly asked Jeong Taeui. His
voice poured into Jeong Taeui's ears as smooth as fine pottery, prompting a big question mark
to appear on Jeong Taeui's forehead, and he stuttered a response like a fool,
"Um, no, ah..., yes, that's right...."
Calm down. There's no need to rush just because you've seen beauty beyond imagination.Jeong Taeui patted his chest a few times and then started thumping it until he regained his
composure.
The young man suddenly looked at Jeong Taeui with a skeptical eye when he saw him
spontaneously hitting his chest like that. He glanced around, then looked back at Jeong Taeui.
"So then."
"....?"
"Are you here by chance or have you been waiting here for me?"
"...I don't even know who you are..."
Jeong Taeui replied, thinking that the question from the beautiful young man was somewhat
unusual.
"Is that so? Well, never mind then."
The young man replied nonchalantly.
Jeong Taeui could only click his tongue and swallow those words because of his faint heart,
and then he glared at Ilay.
"Alright, say what you want to say. Why did you call me out of the blue?"
