I'm still alive

I poked the paper into my pocket and glued it to the roof floor and kept looking everywhere. However, the stone did not fly anymore and eventually did not find out where it was from. I eventually gave up and went down the stairs. Then I checked the doors and windows one by one and came up to the rooftop again.

He knew exactly we were here. Then it means that I saw us coming here during the day, and I felt down and I felt uncomfortable. It's a distance to fly stones. It must be the building next door or across the street if it's not far away.

But no matter how many times I looked around the rooftops and windows of the surrounding buildings, I couldn' I remained in a sharp state of tension until I switched with the old man in a heavy mood. And two hours passed like thin ice. However, there was no change over time, and I eventually approached the old man and woke the old man up.

The old man rose slowly and grabbed the shotgun and flashlight. I told the old man to keep an eye on his surroundings without saying much. It's night time. Details were sufficient after sunrise. The old man finds my stiff face and nods slowly.

An old man would have had a rough idea of my intentions.

And I slowly went into the tent with complicated thoughts. My thoughts were complicated. But now is the time to get enough rest. I fell asleep with a blanket over my head.

* * * * * *

Someone shook me.

When I opened my eyes, an old man was looking down at me. It was probably morning when sunlight leaked through the door. I had a good night's sleep after a long time and my whole body was full of languor. I stretched out a cool stretch and yawned long.

There was a delicious smell around.

When I got out of the tent, the morning sun came out through the window and greeted me. And on one side of the warehouse, Kang Soo-ryeon was squatting down and boiling something, and the old man was eating hard beside him. That was the cause of the delicious smell.

'Eat.'

The old man said to me with a good mouthful. I nodded silently because of the delicious smell of melting my nose. And fixed his eyes on the object in the pot. There was a simmering kimchi stew.

I crawled in front of the pot in unknowingly admiration. Then I opened the prepared rice and hurriedly lifted the spoon. It's kimchi stew with tuna. Kimchi stew with tuna is totally out of my mind. I took the spoon to the stew with trembling hands and swallowed a mouthful of soup in a reverent manner.

Oh, I can't forget the taste even when I write it in my diary.

I don't know who the man is going to marry, but I'm blessed.’

The old man smiled gladly and devoured the whole meal without leaving a grain of rice. At the old man's praise, Kang smiled shyly and stirred the kimchi stew. I nodded my head wildly and agreed. This kimchi stew was really delicious. I stopped eating and suddenly thought about it and asked her.

What about the kids?

Then she smiled and handed me a bottle of bottled water.

I'm already eating and playing.’

I gulped down the water and nodded quietly. There were so many things to care about, but Kang Soo-ryeon and other female members were relieving the burden little by little. Chae-yeon has to live among people. And someone needed careful care.

I felt great gratitude towards Kang Soo-ryeon who played the role. And for a moment, I looked at her with a spoon in my mouth. I was wearing a pretty hat to cover them with their hair cut. And my face got better and gained weight in a day.

When I looked at her, she looked up and looked at me.

And Kang Soo-ryeon, who made eye contact with me, suddenly bows her head. Do you think he still cares about his anger the other day? I went on eating well.

And over time, I put down my spoon. I finished my precious meal without leaving a drop of rice in the soup. I closed my eyes quietly, feeling full and drowsy. Then Kang Su-ryeon, who was looking at him from the side, took the bowls and went down the stairs.

As soon as Kang Soo-ryeon left, the old man's eyes began to shine sharply. I opened my closed eyes and slowly searched my pockets facing the old man. Then yesterday, he took out a note that flew among the stones and handed it over to the old man.

The old man accepts it and glares for a long time. Then he hardened his face and let out a cold voice out of his mouth.

'You've been watching.’

I nod my head. We all knew that we had come in here, and that we had come up to the roof at sunset. I think he was aiming for the items here, but I think he failed because of the locks and security windows.

And then they found us going in..... Seems to have attempted a tangent. In fact, I don't know the intention of sending this note. Is it an attempt to negotiate for food purposes, or is it purely seeking help? We sat on the floor of the warehouse, pondering for a moment.

Then I finally woke up with a sigh.

I'm going to check on Chae-yeon for a second.’

The old man nodded, grabbed a note and a shotgun, and got up slowly.

'You'll be watching.’

* * * * * * *

When I came down the stairs, I felt a little organized inside the mart. I looked intently inside the mart, wondering what was going on, and I found a Kang Soo-ryeon passing by in front of me at a moment. I walked slowly along with the figure. Then in sight came the group busily moving things around.

Organize what can be eaten separately and store food that is past its expiration date in a bag. The children were busy helping the women with their little bracken hands. And there was Chae Yeon among them. Chae-yeon was moving things with her children, giggling at what was so pleasant.

Chae-yeon's face is full of laughter these days. Though stammering, he was clearly expressing his opinion, and much of his uneasiness disappeared. I looked at her with a happy smile and soon saw Chae-yeon turning her head towards me, and opened her arms wide.

Then Chae-yeon put her stuff down on the floor and ran towards me with a shriek. And it came into my arms and hugged me. I held Chae-yeon in my arms and stroked her head.

I can't stay still when the party is working. I also moved to help them move things. But Kang Soo-ryeon approached me and shook her head and dissuaded me. Then he took me to one corner for a moment and whispered to me in a small voice.

What's going on?’

I panicked at the moment. I didn't want to tell my party except for the elderly. Because I didn't want to make the people who just found peace feel uneasy about something uncertain. But she seemed to have noticed something strange when she was on the roof earlier.

I paused for a moment and wondered how to explain it to her. But before I could even bring it up, she tapped my arm and pointed to the stairs.

'We'll be cleaning up here. Go up there.'

When she said so, she smiled and walked back to the company. I stared blankly at the figure for a moment. Her attitude of believing in whatever she did made me feel warm and at the same time a little shy.

I was unconsciously looking at them as something to protect. But they were just 'we' who walked the same path as me, not something to protect. Recalling the idea once again, I moved slowly and headed to the roof where the old man was.

As I was walking on the stairs, an old man was looking down the stairs at the rooftop door. And when he found me, he shouted at me a little louder.

"Sketchbook! Magic!"

As soon as I heard the cry, I quickly went down the stairs and among the many boxes began to find the things the old man said. They found a large sketchbook where the writing instruments were gathered, and took out one by one in each color.

When I went with an armful of something, the party looked at me wonderfully. But as he strode through those eyes, he quickly climbed the stairs and climbed to the roof. As he climbed up to the roof, the old man was standing in the direction of the front door and looking at something.

Holding things, he walked over there and turned his eyes to the old man's gaze. It was the rooftop of a butcher's building and there was a man standing on it. The man also slightly flinchs as if he found me. Then suddenly, he waved his hand and greeted me.

It was out of the blue.

In this world, even the first greeting seemed unfamiliar. The moment the survivors meet each other, they may kill each other and die. But instead of a gun or threat, I was suddenly dumbfounded in front of the greeting I received.

The old man also said in a puzzled voice.

'You look like a nut, don't you?’

I nodded.

'Yes.'

The old man, who heard my answer, thought for a moment, took the sketchbook and the magic fan from me. And I started to scribble with a magic fan.

The old man lifted the sketchbook over his head so that the man in front of him could read the letters. This is what the sketchbook said.

[What are you?]

The man who read the letter suddenly scratched his head and began to look back. Then he ran towards you and came out again with something in his hand. Looking at it carefully, it was the same sketchbook as ours. And the man lifted the sketchbook.

[Yong-pal.

There was a little silence between us. After a while the old man took out the shotgun he had put down on the floor and aimed at the man.

'Who asked you for your name?'

When the old man angrily aimed at the shotgun, the man fell down on the floor in surprise. I was dumbfounded, but I dissuaded the old man from putting down his shotgun. If you really shoot, you'll be in trouble. And I took the sketchbook from the old man and wrote.

[Are you the one who sent the note yesterday?]

Then the opponent took a moment to see if he was scared. And after a while, lift the sketchbook gently. It was written like this.

[Yes, that's me.

[Please meet and talk to me.]

He looked at me with a face appealing for something, showing me two sketchbooks in a row. But of course I doubted and was wary. What is the reason to meet and talk? No matter how good I tried to look at it, the conclusion was this.

Impossible.

I put down my sketchbook and yawned long. In other words, it is a waste of time. It was uncomfortable to have such a man in front of the hiding place, but it is impossible to harm us unless he is prepared to go to Donggueojin. But just in case, we should be more careful when we stand guard.

I checked the time by looking at the wristwatch. The old man yawned and stretched as if he had stopped caring about him. I'll go under the mart to help the party and sort the supplies. As soon as he was about to turn back after thinking, the man hurriedly lifted the sketchbook and banged it.

My eyes naturally turned to you.

[How will you meet me?]

What a persistent nut job. Looking into the man's innocent eyes, neither did the old man nor I. Is he innocent or pretending to be innocent? Me and the old man frowned and sat on the roof for a moment.

I thought about it for a while. And as a joke, I scribbled and lifted it on the sketchbook.

[Don't wear anything and come running.]

The old man must have burst into laughter, covering his face with laughter.

In a way, it's true.

If we didn't want to be wary of strangers, at least we had to know that they weren't carrying weapons. It also included clothing that could hide weapons. I didn't think he'd be obedient to this.

What I said, it was for fun, to put it a little vulgar.

And there was no reply.

I thought it was a natural result, so I checked my wristwatch and told the old man.

We're gonna have to stop the door, right?’

The old man nodded his head. The old man probably had the same worries as me. I had to move all those heavy things assiduously. I told the old man I'd be down first and turned slowly.

And the moment I walked, the old man said with a startled shiver.

'Hey, that crazy guy...….’

Anxiety struck at the moment. I turned around in a hurry and ran beside the old man in a hurry. And he was astonished, looking in the direction the old man pointed at.

There was a man with nothing on, crossing the middle of the road with a rabbit run. Looking at the exceptionally rattling body, I hurriedly closed my eyes. Then he turned around and began to run fast.

You shouldn't show that kind of scene to Chae-yeon. Behind me came the old man's recitation quietly.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.….’
