Relife Player 181
[Chapter 059]
[star, star, star]
The first semester, which felt like a long one, came to an end.
Eun-ha, who was on summer vacation, was lounging around at home.
He woke up late in the afternoon today as well, spending the whole day in his pajamas.
“Eunha, would you like to eat merona?”
“Only me.”
“Sister! Give me me too!”
Eun-ah, who rummaged through the refrigerator after dinner, was also in her pajamas.
By the time the next semester started, she had returned home and was even worse.
Waking up late is standard, and I was often lying on the floor looking at my smartphone endlessly, or busy calling my friends at night.
As for Eunha, it was amazing to see her sister who continued to make long phone calls every night.
“Eunah, shouldn’t I stop walking around in pajamas when I become a high school student next year?
Eunha and Eunae follow me.”
“Mom, I’m not a high school student, I’m entering a high school academy next year.
And what do you do when you walk around dressed like this? Mom doesn’t know, so she doesn’t. How comfortable and nice this is… .”
Eun-ah turned 16 this year.
It was the age when I was able to get away from the arms of my parents and become self-reliant little by little.
She handed the ice cream to her mother too, and she grunted with her lips pouting.
“Do Eun-ha and Eun-ae think so too?”
“Isn’t it?”
“…uh…, um…”
Eun-ae nodded her head, feeling happy just by having Eun-a bite the ice cream into her mouth.
On the other hand, Eunha had to watch her mother, who was folding the laundry right next to her.
“Does the galaxy think so too?” “Uh…”
“Are you Eunha?”
“…”
I was in a daze and got caught between my mother and my older sister.
It was a situation where they could not survive safely no matter who took their side.
Dad, save me… !
… Eunha, I’m sorry.
Eun-ha gave her father a look of salvation, but the father turned his head away without hesitation.
abandoned by father
“Eunha, come here.”
At that time, Eun-ah took out the number from her trump card.
Lying on the sofa, she came down to the floor and stretched out her long legs. With her free hand, she tapped her bare leg underneath her shorts.
“Aren’t you going to cut your leg today?”
“…Sorry. You know how much I love you, right?”
Eunha was determined.
After confessing her love to her mother, Eun-ha cut her hair on Eun-ah’s thigh.
The soft skin made me feel relieved, and the cool energy cooled the heat of the night.
I ate the merona with my face tilted to the side.
“Eun-ah’s pillow was taken by Eun-ha, so I took the wife’s pillow… uh…, you?”
“I hate you because your beard hurts.”
“That’s right, Daddy’s beard stings.”
“Daddy’s beard stings!”
mother was pissed
In the meantime, the father, who had been silent, was beaten by the women in the house while trying to cheer up the mother.
Even Eun-ah, who had been arguing with her mother for Eun-ha until just a moment ago, pinched her father.
Eun-ae was especially severe.
My younger sister, who had been beaten by her father’s beard every morning, agreed vehemently.
“Ha… they said raising my wife and children would be useless… Do I have to listen to this because of my beard?”
Father let out a deep sigh.
Either that or not, Eun-ah and her mother were touching their smartphones as if they were always like that.
“Mom, you have to cover this place with your hand.” “here?” “Like a headache came!”
“I don’t know what you mean. I’m going to do it with duck lips as I always do.”
“Me too! Take a picture of me too~”
The three of them, including Eun-ae, took several pictures in the same pose, wondering why they were so dissatisfied.
Uninterested in taking selfies, Eun-ha hugged Eun-ah’s thigh with one arm and closed her eyes.
In the meantime, Eun-ah secretly took a picture of him.
It was a time when families were spending time that way.
“Eunha’s mom! I’m Minji’s mom! Open the door!”
Suddenly there was a loud bang on the front door.
The family, startled by the sound, poked their heads out of the living room.
“What’s going on at this hour?”
The noise outside was unusual.
My father, who confirmed that it was late at night, frowned.

“I’ll go out. I think something big happened to Minji’s mom.”
“I’m leaving too.”
Parents who got up.
The two turned on the lights in the hallway and walked out the front door.
Minji’s mother hurriedly came inside as soon as she opened the door.
“What’s wrong? Did something happen?” “Eunha’s mom and Eunha’s dad. I’m sorry for coming to you late at night. It’s nothing else… Is our Minji here?”
Minji’s mother looked around the house with a look of anxiety.
Disappointment crossed his face when he heard that he hadn’t.
Then, I met eyes with Eunha, who was poking her head out into the hallway to figure out what was going on.
“Eunha! Has Minji ever contacted you?”
“Contact? I haven’t received any of that.”
“Well, then… Hasn’t Minji looked a bit strange these days? Saying she wants to go somewhere or something…”
What are you talking about?
why are you asking me that?
Aren’t you supposed to know better than me?
Eunha gathered her brows.
It was clear that something had happened to Minji.
Otherwise, there would be no reason for Minji’s mother to suddenly come and ask.
“…No, there wasn’t anything like that. Minji, she was no different than usual.”
He calmly organized his thoughts and spoke.
Recently, I couldn’t find anything strange about Minji.
Sometimes she seemed lost in thought, but she always was.
Among her friends, Minji was the one who thought about the future most seriously.
She was used to being suddenly lost in thought without speaking.
I couldn’t find anything strange about her.
“Where did he go then…”
Minji’s mother muttered in an annoyed voice. Her hands, which were gathered in front of her chest, trembled.
“What the hell happened? Did Minji disappear without a word?”
At this point, anyone could have guessed.
The mother hugged her by the shoulder and asked what had happened.
Minji’s mother, who had been trembling for a while, nodded as if she couldn’t help it.
“He… won’t come back after fighting me.”
☆
The Milky Way is the moon that lights up the night sky.
It seems to exist right next to you, but if you get to know it, it is like a moon that is 380,000 km away from the earth.
Minji knew that there was a sense of distance between herself and him that she could never reach even if she tried to reach it.
Even if the other children might be vaguely aware of it, he was clearly aware of himself as a childhood friend since childhood.
Eunha Noh is less now, but… , because I hadn’t shown any interest in other people before.
When I was young, there was a time when I thought the galaxy was scary.
This is because, although he is the same age as himself, his behavior is mature and he creates an atmosphere that seems to be far from the world.
And when dealing with others, the face that had maintained an expressionless face was horrified to see a smile every time it met its family.
I don’t know why.
My only memory was that his smile was somehow unnatural.
“Oh… that’s an unknown kid.”
Even so, she did not abandon her position as his childhood friend.
It was because he was interested in himself, who was indifferent to anything.
‘Hey, have you eaten? Are you eating again?’
‘Don’t call me eaten!’
I don’t know why.
I really don’t know why.
However, when he looked at himself, he had a gaze that put a spoonful of interest in indifference.
It was a very subtle sensation that he showed interest in himself, who seemed to have no interest in others.
The feeling of being recognized as special.
And the more I got to know him, the more I realized how special he was.
“…the moon is so bright.”
Minji sat on the slide in the park and looked up at the moon shrouded in starlight.
The galaxy was the moon.
Softly illuminates the night sky.
Friends were stellar.
Wrapped in moonlight and giving off my own light.
They were the ones who took the galaxy’s attention.
including myself.
“What? There are many stars today.”
I counted the stars wrapped in moonlight one by one with my fingers and gave up.
I wondered if the night sky was this clear.
“Or is today darker than other times?”
Because of this, it was not easy to tell which star was shining in which way.
It is as if the starlight was eaten by the starlight.
“…”
The joy of being considered special to someone is indescribable.
I want to polish my own specialness more and emit a gorgeous and beautiful light like a jewel.
I want to become the brightest star among the stars, and furthermore, I want to become the moon that lights up the night sky.
Yes.
I want to be like Eunha.
I want to stand side by side with him.
She didn’t know how to explain this feeling.
“I’m… normal.”
Minji muttered as she put her legs together.
normal.
The stars, which were once recognized as special beings by the moon, were losing their position to the newly appearing stars as time passed.
The more people who learned about his charm gathered, the more he became an insignificantly ordinary existence.
‘lie. Since Eunha and the kids play with Seona, aren’t you following along too?’
My mother once said so.
At that time, Minji responded reflexively, but was not sure of her answer.
‘Minji Kim. Stop crying, stop screaming and look at mom. Really? Since the kids are playing with Seona, aren’t you forced to play together?’
I want to become a shining star.
Not just a shining star, but a star wrapped in moonlight.
Unlike ordinary people, I wanted to be a special being.
So it may be that he is trying to follow the stork in order not to fall from the moonlight.
‘… please! Write down your name!’
So was this case.
The reason for helping Seo-na was sorry for her friends, but there was also an obsession that she might not be able to stand by them if she couldn’t do anything.
and saved
That there might come a day when I won’t be able to stand by them.
It had to have the power to shine brighter than other stars.
‘mom. I don’t want to go to middle school, I want to enter the Players Academy.’
‘Are you crazy!? Why are you covering there! My mom is looking for a middle school with a good entrance rate, so don’t talk like a player academy, just do what she says!’
The reason I decided to become a player wasn’t just because I wanted to shine.
I also had a desire to run away from my parents’ shadow.
‘Minji, all you have to do is listen to your mother. Then you can go to a good school, get a good job, meet a good man there, have children in a good house and live happily.
You may not like it now, but you’ll thank your mother later. Listen to Mom.’
Of course, the future designed by your parents will surely allow you to pursue stable happiness as your parents say.
“But… you really don’t have me.”
However, the future her parents envisioned was not a future that only Kim Min-ji had to do, but a future that anyone else could do.
Anything possible for any star in the night sky.
She wanted to be a star that shines until the end, like a star that dies after shining with its own light.
I didn’t just want to leave the name Kim Min-ji in this world, I wanted to leave the existence of Kim Min-ji.
‘I will never allow you to be a player! How did I grow… ! Why don’t you go down the road where you could die if you do it wrong!’
‘Mom, I want to live doing what I want to do! Even if I regret it later, I want to regret it after I do it, rather than regret not doing it!’
‘That’s because you really don’t regret it! I don’t know if you even have the talent to become a great player! But you don’t have any talent like that!’
The reason I left home today was because I had an argument with my parents about the future.
The argument between himself and his parents was endless, like parallel lines that never crossed each other.
Eventually, in a fit of anger, I left the house.
in the middle of the night
“Mistress…! You were bitten by a mosquito.”
There were a lot of mosquitoes in the park.
Minji, realizing that he was bitten by a mosquito while scratching his arm, belatedly deployed a barrier.
Mosquitoes will not penetrate the barrier.
“What should I do? I can’t stay here all the time… Mom and Dad must be worried…”
I had to go back home.
Parents will be worried too.
But it seemed like it would be funny to go back home now.
It was clear that my parents would tell me what kind of player I was when I couldn’t do anything by myself.
… Let’s sneak in after mom and dad fall asleep.
Despite deploying the barriers, the sound of humming nearby was loud.
The back of my neck was itchy.
I scratched it with my hand and it was swollen before I knew it. I don’t know if it was created before the barrier or after the barrier was created.
got so sad
Minji buried her head in her lap.
I hope that a particularly bright night will pass today.
“—What are you doing without going home? How is it?
