25 – EP.2 The space we made, we made, and we were in-1
***
She woke up the day before In-ho’s entrance exam.
When she woke up in the hospital, her mother was next to her.
After hearing the circumstances from her mother, Mina quickly put on her clothes and went out.
It was 2:00 in the morning when I hurried the taxi and arrived at the funeral home.
At the end of Mina’s gaze, desperately searching for his mortuary, she saw a funeral wreath with the company’s name on it.
“ah….”
A muffled sound came from between dry lips.
She shuffled along like a man with a broken leg.
[Kang In-ho]
An empty place with his name on it.
“ah…”
The time has come to accept the fact that you have been denying in your heart.
A gray-haired man stood in the mortuary as the resident.
“…….”
An elderly man came up to her and held out his hand.
“Mina… is that you? I’ve been waiting for you.”
With the heavy bass ringing in her ears, Mina slowly followed him into the funeral home.
The face that smiled before going down to Busan.
The face that always smiled kindly at her was embedded in the picture of the portrait.
“Ugh…”
Something in between a cry and a scream that rises from the throat.
She gritted her teeth and bowed.
once.
Crying in one verse
twice.
Let out a scream in two bows.
“Ugh.”
The burning pain in her chest prevented her from getting up.
Mina lay on her stomach for a while and cried inwardly.
***
There were only her and his father in a quiet mortuary with no guests.
“I told my mother to take a break. It’s early morning anyway.”
What should I say?
apology? consolation?
Countless words came to Mina’s head, but she couldn’t confidently say any of them.
“sorry.”
After thinking and thinking for a while, the only thing that came out of her mouth was an apology.
“Even if I… hadn’t sent Mr. Inho… to Busan…”
“You didn’t know and sent it. It’s okay. Mina-san probably didn’t send it because she wanted to send it. It’s company life.”
His father was just as good.
So that was even more heartbreaking.
I’d rather hit me, I’d rather curse me.
I was determined to atone for my sins by receiving resentment.
“I’ve often heard about Mina. I haven’t been in touch lately about what’s going on.”
“…okay.”
“Yes. He said he was a good boss and that he was learning a lot.”
Am I a good boss
Mina was confused. Was I a good boss who drove him to death?
“And I heard that they are very close personally. I know that your son is interested in Mina-san.”
“…….”
How happy I would have been if I had heard this in another place.
But no one likes you anymore. It’s not because I’m dead.
“I know it’s confusing, but don’t be too attached to your son. That’s what I’m trying to say.”
His father stood up after saying that.
It was an expression of his will that he had nothing more to say.
Mina staggered to her feet.
“…Thanks for the advice. But… I’ve never thought of living without Inho.”
After a brief bow, she turned her back.
Watching Mina slowly walk away, Inho’s father couldn’t hide his complex face.
“Ego In-ho… Why are you in such a hurry that you left so quickly?”
Looking at the photo without an answer, his father murmured lonely.
It was a deepening night.
***
On Sunday morning, she closed herself at home after being discharged.
Her mother seemed to have said something, but her ears did not hear it.
“……”
Like a pile of burnt ashes, there was not an inch of life in her eyes.
“Mr. Inho. Mr. Inho.”
On TV and on the Internet, there was only talk about derailments.
Some analyzed the cause of the accident, while others mourned the victims.
In-ho’s father didn’t blame her, but she couldn’t accept it.
“Something like me doesn’t need to be in this world.”
A dull, cracked voice.
why am i alive Mr. Inho is no longer in this world. What is the meaning of such a world?
The hand that caresses me, the voice that calls me, the gaze that directs me.
You can’t feel it anymore
Then why do I have to live in this world?
Why do I have to exist!
Slowly going to the kitchen, she took out a cleaver and held it to her wrist.
Was it like this?
I’m trying to recreate what I saw in the movie. put down the knife
It wasn’t because I was afraid of dying again.
Because the phone rang briefly.

A picture of well-grilled meat and wine in a nice pension.
She checks who posted this.

“Ha ha ha ha ha…”
A dry laugh emerges. What’s funny, she keeps giggling.
“hahahahaha!!!!”
Maniacal laughter does not stop.
“Heh heh heh heh hahahahaha what the hell… hahahaha”
What the hell did he die for?
She kept laughing at this unfunny skit.
