Weekly Chapter 3/4

Warm sunlight filtered through the small paper window.

She despised the sensation of damp clothes sticking to her skin. She also disliked the fishy smell emanating from her hair that had not yet dried.

Yuljae sat silently, leaning against the wall.

Perhaps he was lost in thought.

After she checked that the door was closed, Yongi removed her clothes, hung them on the wall and covered herself with a thin blanket. But her tremors did not stop.

It appeared her fever was increasing.

I must avoid falling ill.

When she lay down on the hard floor, her eyelids slid down.

Visitors to the clinic gazed in awe at the grandfather clock mounted on the wall. Park Jooyoung, who organized the items at the clinic, looked at the grandfather clock several times to check the time.

Why hasn’t she arrived yet…?

While waiting for Yongi, Park roamed around the front yard of the clinic. He was worried that someone had tried to hurt her.

He cherished Yongi like a sister. In fact, she was in his heart.

When he first saw her, he was amazed that there was such a beautiful woman in the world. After he talked to her, he did not understand that she wanted to live alone.

“I will visit Yongi.”

Jooyoung walked over to Christopher, who was observing the children playing. At the moment, the clinic was more filled with people praying than with patients.

Priest Christopher sometimes handed out bread to the people. The bread had a sweet flavor. It’s possible that the children came to the clinic today to get bread with jam.

“Now that you mention it, I haven’t spotted Yongi today.”

“She might be exhausted. I’ll go check to make sure nothing happened…”

“Alright. Come back soon. I want to learn about this game today.”

The children staring at Priest Christopher, began to murmur with laughter. Jooyoung patted the head of a nearby child before leaving the clinic.

The day was hot. Despite having walked only a little, he was already sweating. He hurriedly walked along a path he knew well.

As the sea breeze intensified, he spotted Yongi’s house in the distance. The cat on the wall appeared happy upon recognizing Park’s familiar face.

The cat meowed when Park opened the gate.

But as soon as he noticed a man standing in front of the small garden, he halted.

Park definitely recognized this face.

The man had also recognized him because he straightened his back.

Park felt embarrassed.

“I’m Park Jooyoung, what are you doing here?”

Yuljae looked toward Yongi’s door, which was closed.

“I have some unresolved matters with Yongi. Could you tell me why you’re here, interpreter?”

Yuljae was distrustful of his motives. Park Jooyoung felt anxious.
