Living in a Garage With an Alien Car

While the tangled thoughts were being sorted out in my head, the sun appeared completely before I knew it.

The climbers around them were now busily organizing the present, leaving behind their regrets.

“Did Hayun make a wish?”

“Yes, I begged and begged and begged that my mother’s surgery went well and that she could be discharged.”

Crying.

“…”

Mr. Jongseong, who had been listening to Ha-yun’s words of hope, hugged Ha-yun tightly.

While being hugged by my father, I held the hand of Hayoon, who winked slightly at me.

And finally, I also made a wish for Hayoon.

“Yes.. It will definitely be like Hayoon’s wish. Daddy and Uncle both made the same wish, so it will definitely come true.”

The course from Cheonwangbong Peak to Daewonsa Temple was short.

however,

Heh heh heh heh.

“Uncle, what are you doing? cheer up!”

“Uh, yes, mister, you’re working hard, Ha Yoon-ah.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha.”

No, why is it going downhill, but why is it such a series of uphills?

Seriously, isn’t this a foul from Jirisan?

Hayoon and his wife are waiting on a shallow uphill.

Is it this hard without a stick?

no.

That’s just an excuse for those with low stamina.

Shim Jong-seong was climbing easily even with a wooden stick.

“Let’s get some rest, brother.”

“Do that.”

Yesterday, while talking, I asked if I could call him hyung-nim, and he readily agreed.

It was a woman who strangely wanted to become friends.

He seemed like he would go well with Yu-geun, so I wanted to continue our relationship starting from today’s mountain hike.

“frostbite. Now, if you go a little further, you will come to Chibatmok Shelter. Let’s rest for a while, then rest for a while.”

“Yes, it gives me strength because there are only a few shelters left.”

“Uncle is also true.”

“Is Hayun okay?”

“Yes, strangely, it is not difficult at all. hehehehe.”

Thank you so much Kathy.

It is about 4 kilometers from Cheonwangbong Peak to Chibatmok Shelter.

It was exhausting enough to be annoyed by the series of downhill and uphill roads, but the clear ridge of Mt. Jirisan in the distance and the sound of the deep valley washed away the tiredness.

“Hey. Although it takes effort, the scenery of Mt. Jiri is truly an art.”

“Uncle, be careful slipping here. Did you know?”

this..

The trail is full of rocks…

Hayun, wearing sneakers, was tapping a stick on a large rock.

“ha ha ha. Don’t worry… this kind of thing is cold…”

Knocked up.

wrinkled in front of the chrysalis.

Because it slipped beautifully.

“Oh, the statue is okay..?”

“Yes, yes. ha ha ha.”

“I can’t. It’s small, but I have to write this.”

“Go..Thank you.”

Using the stick given by Jong-seong as a walking stick, I strengthened myself and stood up.

The Chibatmok Shelter was small, and there were not many people, perhaps because it was scattered on various routes from the top of Cheonwangbong Peak.

Time for an early snack.

I ate a hearty breakfast, so I wasn’t that hungry.

Even Ha-yoon’s wife.

Still, I scooped out the remaining snacks and put them in my mouth.

Chocolate bars, snack bars, and cucumbers. They were fruits.

“uh! It’s a hearing cap.”

A squirrel passed by, and Hayoon, who showed a keen interest in animals, was really cute.

“How did you meet Kandoli Kkansuni? mister.”

From noble mtl dot com

“You followed me.”

“Wow, really?”

“Yeah, I must have been very hungry. So I gave it something to eat, and it kept hovering around and didn’t go back to nature, so I kept taking it with me. They send them out whenever they return to nature, but that’s not the case, so I’m raising them.”

“I will follow you too. i envy you. He doesn’t come because he’s scared.”

He waved the food in his hand toward the squirrel, which climbed up the branch like a runaway, but it must be because of the squirrel that didn’t come.

“ha ha ha.”

“When Hayoon is a bit older, let’s raise a puppy and a cat like chewing gum. Mom will be happy when she is discharged.”

“huh. hehehehe.”

Even if you say let’s raise a pet, he smiles so happily.

Just looking at Ha-yoon’s bright smile is healing.

I hope Ha-Yoon is happy for the rest of his life.

There was a valley on the way down to Daewonsa Temple after having a snack, so I was able to relieve my boredom.

We even saw small waterfalls from time to time.

The color of the water is deep emerald.

It’s really art.

I want to meet a waterfall in such a clean area when.

It didn’t take long to come down to Daewonsa Temple.

After all, it was more reassuring to have a group than hiking alone, and it was fun in its own way.

While exchanging stories with Jongseong-hyung, I was able to share hobbies that matched each other’s personalities.

It couldn’t have been a meaningful hike.

#

Hae-shik, who had come to meet me earlier, was surprised to see Mrs. Ha-yun.

“Worm Mae. Isn’t Jong-seong your older brother?”

“hello.”

Jongseong hyung-nim is also surprised.

“So, the place where the statue is camping was Haesik’s pension?”

“Yes, brother.”

“Wollae.”

It is said that the population of Gorye is small, and that it is an area where everyone you know is just one bridge away.

I was once again surprised by the remoteness, personal connections, and networks of Hae-shik, who was born and raised here.

There was no relationship like this.

“Good for you. older brother. Ha-yoon had a hard time too, so go to the town and go hiking and then go in.”

“That… that’s right.”

“Ha Yoon-ah, there is something I want to eat. Uncle Gum will buy it for you.”

“Anything is fine. I am. hehehehe. And I used the stick well.”

Hayoon gave me a stick and smiled brightly as she bowed her waist.

I wanted to eat the most expensive food.

No, I wanted to eat too.

cauliflower.

“Hyung Hae-sik, since we are very hungry right now, please go to that Korean beef restaurant. Quickly.”

“Ah.. writing. This is a course that even most adult men find difficult.. Hayun worked hard. Oh, what kind of fuss is this, bro?”

“..That’s right, statue.”

An area with a small population.

Hae-sik hyung-nim also heard about it from local neighbors.

I’m talking about Hayun’s family situation.

“You have to eat well and rest so that you can survive while nursing the patient, brother. Let’s go quickly.”

Jongseong hyung-nim, who knew that, was also aesthetic, thinking that it would be a nuisance, but I led Jong-seong-hyung by the arms.

This is the second ribeye to eat in Jirisan.

Since this is a highland area, the marbling of the guys who grew up eating all kinds of vegetables and fodder is also excellent.

So, I was thinking of coming back and eating one more time before I left, but I thought it went well.

Chee Hee.

“Ha Yoon-ah, eat a lot. Only then can I take care of my mother. Understand?”

Smoke billowed into the air as the meat cooked, and the delicious smell stung my nostrils.

I cut the well-done meat and put it on the plate in front of Ha-yun and Jong-seong.

“Ha Yoon-ah, older brother. Eat quickly. You can eat beef even if it’s slightly bland.”

“Draw it, eat it. I need a drink or something to spend. Have a drink, too.”

“Thank you.”

“…”

Haeshik-hyung poured alcohol into Jongseong-hyung’s cup.

However, the expression of Hayoon, who was lively until now, is not good.

“Ha Yoon-ah, you need to eat quickly. Are not you hungry?”

“It’s good to eat together, too…”

It must have reminded me of my mother who is suffering from chemotherapy.

“If only we ate delicious food, we’d be sorry… huh.”

It didn’t sound like the words of an 11-year-old.

Suddenly, I felt like I wanted to go into a rat hole, but Hae-shik, who was sitting in front of me, stepped out.

“Ha Yoon-ah, my dear. The sicker my mother is, the more delicious she eats. I have to brag to my mom that I ate more expensive ones.”

“why?”

“That way mom and dad don’t worry about Ha-yoon.

“ah…”

“You shouldn’t worry about our Ha-yoon not being able to eat while your mother is in the hospital.. aren’t you drawing?”

Hayoon’s eyes light up as if he understands Haeshik’s story that he doesn’t have an older brother.

“That’s why I ate a lot…and boasted that I ate a lot of meat, so my mother’s illness gets better quickly…”

It was for a while that I was dejected by Ha-yoon’s thoughtfulness.

Heaps of meat that is being cooked are placed on top.

“Come on, let’s eat quickly like Uncle said. That way, my mother will get better quickly without worrying.”

“Yes, uncle. thank you for this food. Dad needs to eat a lot too. huh?”

“Come on, don’t think about anything today, eat well and take care of yourself, Haengnim.”

“..that..yes.. let’s eat a lot, Ha Yoon-ah.”

“yea, I got it. I’m going to tell my mother that I ate my fill of beef today. And I’m going to ask her to come over to eat after the surgery.”

“Draw, as it should be.”

“thank you for this food. Stop baking and eat a lot, Mr. Gum.”

“Yes, Ha Yoon-ah, eat a lot.”

With a heavy heart, I took the meat to my mouth one by one for Hayoon and Jongseong hyung-nim.

#

Ha-yun, who ate meat to her heart’s content, perhaps tired, fell asleep on her father’s lap.

‘How hard it must have been…’

“I had a hard time bringing Mt. Jiri. Sir, let’s have a drink in peace now..”

When Hae-sik hyung-nim lifted the bottle, he accepted the glass more comfortably.

“..I had a meaningful hike like this with my daughter and met a nice statue thanks to it.. My Ha-yoon took care of it.. Thank you.”

“no. This is not the last hike, but I hope that your sister-in-law is fully recovered and will go hiking with her family to commemorate it.”

I shouldn’t think like that, but it’s strangely heartbreaking.

I just listened to the conversation between the two of them over a drink.

I was able to learn about the condition of the disease and the environment so far.

I had been drinking for such a long time.

Jong-seong hyung said he hadn’t had a drink in a long time, and kept his seat and couldn’t control himself.

“You guys take a taxi and go in. I’m Hayoon and I’m going to send my older brother a taxi and go in.”

“older brother. I will carry Hayoon. Come with me.”

“Draw… draw. I’m not a hyung-nim who gets drunk like this, but… Hoon seemed happy to meet you.”

Ha-yun’s house was an old-fashioned structure that was all run down.

Household items and furnishings untouched by women were scattered here and there, and they were very shabby.

There was a TV program that remodeled an old house.

If there was a winner, Ha-yun’s family won and I thought I should remodel the house right away.

On the way home after leaving Hayoon and Jongseong hyung-nim in a small room.

I returned to the pension quietly without any conversation with Hae-shik.

the next morning.

Haesik hyung was sweeping the yard.

To me who appeared out of Happy Inside,

“did you sleep well?”

“yes.”

In fact, I couldn’t even sleep.

“Are you leaving today?”

“Brother, I have something to talk to you about.”

“Well, come in to talk over breakfast.”

“Yes, yes.”

Brother Hae-shik is surprised in front of the 9-layer table that he prepared for me leaving the main house of the pension.

“What do you mean? Are you thinking a lot?”

“Yes, brother. I thought a lot.”

Mr. Santa

I had a lot of thoughts and worries all night.

I decided to remodel the house by buying land and a house site at the foot of Jirisan Mountain, like the bosom of an affluent mother.

“My older brother said that there are many places where ruins and vacant houses are cheaply found here.”
