chapter 29
A night with the characteristic sticky heat of summer.
On the floor of the narrow caravan where three people could barely lie down, he was resentful of the sleep that did not come no matter how much he waited in midsummer.
The reason she can’t sleep may be due to the poor environment in which she has to sleep on a hard floor, relying only on temporary pillows made of rolled up hoodies without useless bedding, but fundamentally she herself is familiar with the concept of sleep. It was because he wasn’t.
The experience of squatting down on the toilet in the park to keep your mind occupied and sleeping on the toilet in the park.
For midsummer, night was not a time to sleep and rest, but a time of fear to protect oneself from external enemies.
But, strangely, from the day he came back after chasing the man that night, he was able to sleep to some extent.
‘Thinking about it makes me angry again.’
Today, for some reason, every time I closed my eyes, I felt annoyed and unbearably stuffy. Yeah, I’m already incapable of sleeping, but I’m not sure if it’s because of my temper.
“Seed… … .”
Midsummer remembered the sharply rising scar on Yudo-jin’s forearm.
The crimson blood dripping from between the folded skin and the disturbing sound echoing as it fell on the floor.
First aid had been given, but the terrible sight still seemed to be reflected on the retina of midsummer.
-do not die. You can’t die… … .
The silver-haired woman who had provided the cause of everything was rubbing disinfectant on Yudo-jin’s wounds, repeating the same words like a broken robot with a pale face.
If that’s the case, you should have come in earlier. If you hadn’t been stubborn, that idiot wouldn’t have become like that.
Midsummer was caught up in the desire to kick the woman who was sleeping with her back turned in front of her. How could you possibly be so blatant about a subject that committed such a thing? Are you sleeping?
Seriously, I would have been better off sleeping next to that idiot than sleeping next to a woman like this.
Midsummer, the shortest person, is pushed to the end considering the tightly placed shelves and appliances, but even for good reasons, annoying is annoying… … .
About three hours had passed since midsummer had not slept.
“… … sleep?”
Suddenly, a woman’s voice came from the other side.
no i’m really hot I can’t sleep because of someone right now, now I’m even talking about sleep?
“brother… … sleep?”
It was a rather strange sight to see Midsummer, who turned his head to say something to the never-ending noise.
“It’s okay to sleep… … ?”
The silver-haired woman placed her hands on the back of Yu-Jin Yu, who was lying down, looking to the side.
“… … .”
And then he carefully buried his face on his back.
“Sup… flaw… 👌👌👌👌 ah… … .”
Slowly, he began to breathe in. It’s like trying to suck up all the body odors left on his back.
“… … black… Heh, I hate it… I can’t, I can’t do this… … That’s why I said I didn’t want to come… … .”
The woman had been sobbing at some point.
“sorry… Sorry… … . Sister, I’m sorry… Brother, I’m sorry… … .”
The woman was crying so desperately that she thought it was a pity for the midsummer, when her anger had risen to the top of her head.
“Because of me again… … .”
Midsummer quietly turned his head. Because I thought it was not polite to look any further.
But she just thought quietly.
‘Crazy b*tch?’

The morning on the island was cloudy. The last night’s all-devouring wind had softened the momentum a bit, but the reverberation was still tickling the trees.
Besides, it must have rained overnight, and everywhere was wet, and fog from somewhere covered the whole island.
“What, why did you wake up so early?”
While admiring the island for a while, Midsummer crawled out from behind, rubbing her eyes.
The drooping eyes of the droopy one resembled the pattern of a panda.
“You really sleep more, don’t you?”
“Ah, I don’t know. I slept all night and tried to wake up and barely slept, but my dream was wild.”
Midsummer scratched her hair that was covered with oil. It must have been difficult to sleep in that small place.
“Is your arm okay?”
“yes. It stings a little, but that’s about it.”
“okay… … .”
He looked at the bandage wrapped around my forearm with concern and opened his mouth.
“But we… … . Aren’t you in distress?”
The three of us were left alone on an uninhabited island with no contact with the outside world. As the guy said, if it’s a distress, it’s a situation that can be called a distress.
“no.”
“You are optimistic, or you have a reason.”
Midsummer with arms crossed seems absurd.
“Would Minseo Oh not have expected this?”
Midsummer’s eyes widened as if he had noticed something just then.
“Even if something goes wrong, he’s not the kind of guy who puts people on the island without preparing a workaround. Besides, there is only communication, but the electricity is working and there is enough accommodation and food to sleep. Also, it’s just not inhabited, it’s not that far from inland, and the people around us know our situation. If you wait, I’ll come pick you up someday.”
Min-seo Oh said that she was playing with me purely for her own pleasure, but that day, I became convinced of the existence of something else sleeping beneath her eyes.
Of course, we don’t know exactly what it is right now, but it will also naturally come out over time and will be resolved.
I just have to do what I have to do. By his side, until he one day confides in me.
“For now, let’s have a simple breakfast and go to a villa on the top of the mountain. I can’t even sleep over there tonight.”
“Well, I don’t really care… .”
It was midsummer who muttered, “Will that person follow me?
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
There was an awkward, indescribable air current between us as we climbed the hiking trail that stretched over the campsite.
Yu Ga-ryun was strangely depressed because of what happened yesterday, and in midsummer, she raised her axe and stared at her as if she didn’t like Yu Ga-ryun.
“… … I.”
Yu Ga-ryun, who looked only at my forearm without paying any attention to Midsummer’s gaze, opened her mouth carefully.
“yes?”
“The arm… … .”
“it’s okay. It stings a little bit, and it doesn’t hurt that much.”
Yu Ga-ryun, who had licked her lips as if she wanted to say something, immediately closed her eyes and continued.
“That’s what happens when you do things like tea and meddling in vain. If you’re going to provoke my guilt with something like that, you’d better put it aside. no matter what… … because it doesn’t I’m rather happy, I. That’s how you became.”
“okay.”
If you said something like that with a face that looked like you were about to cry, wouldn’t it be convincing?
“Isn’t that a little bit?”
However, unlike me, who spent a long time with Yu Ga-ryun, midsummer was to raise the axe’s eyes sharper and open her mouth as if she did not understand English.
“it’s okay. So this.”
“You are quiet.”
Midsummer, who cut off the waist of my horse, raised her voice.
“It’s really not funny. Who’s making a child look like this now? Was it because I was meddling in vain? No matter how upset I am, there are things to say and things not to say, right?”
Yu Ga-ryun’s eyebrows contorted with an unsettling sound.
“I’m sorry, but if you don’t know anything, can you please stay still?”
“I’m saying this because I don’t know anything. Do you know how unsightly what you are doing now is from a third-party point of view?”
Midsummer shakes her head and pours out words of criticism.
At first, Ga-ryun Yu, who had only listened silently, seemed annoyed at the continued words, grabbed the hem of the dress she was wearing and opened her mouth.
“Huh, now even this little boy is doing this and that… … . Look, this is not a simple matter for a child like you to meddle in.”
“You spoke well. Do you think it makes sense to be less than a kid like this for a topic that has been around for so long?”
“what?”
“Did I say something wrong?”
It was the moment I opened my mouth to mediate the harsh atmosphere in real time.
“Ugh!”
A stone beak suddenly came out of nowhere and hit my outside foot.
It was a minor shock, but maybe it was because of the injury I sustained in my left calf last night, I just lost my focus and fell.
“brother!”
However, it did not lead to additional injuries because Ga-ryun threw herself to support my body.
In return, the pure white dress of the pretty girl was covered with dirt.
“sick? Do you think you broke your leg? Do you need a booster?”
“it’s okay. It’s just being stoned. Pretty, you are the clothes… … .”
As if awakened by those words, Yu Ga-ryun pushed me away with both arms.
“ah… … Uh, what do you say? Oh really. It’s been a total mess because of that. This is expensive.”
“… … What the f*ck are you doing, you?”
Perhaps the heat had subsided due to a series of commotions, and the two became quiet again, and as we continued hiking, we finally arrived at Minseo Oh’s villa.
Of course, if that means break time.
“aah-!”
“Ahhh-!”
I don’t think so.
