Was it annoying to have to climb up high every time to eat rice?

Hamshik shivered, then spread the wings that sprouted from his back and started flying!

“It’s a flying ham!”

Seeing that, the saxophone and the hamster flew around like crazy, scattering their feathers on the ground.

“Ugh. Guys, stop messing up the floor… … .”

Jihyun was the only one stuck in there, picking up feathers.

Unfortunately, the feathers of the saxophone were too large to be used in a mini-auditor. But the feathers of the hamster flew around like snow.

Oh, wouldn’t it be okay to make a minnie mouse out of these hamster feathers? Since they are so fluffy, if you separate the filaments attached to the feathers and stick them together, it would look like real fur.

But what if the orders for Min-Earcher explode? Then Ham-Sik won’t be able to make it by plucking out the hair. Then Ham-Sik will also go bald.

“Keeek!”

As if it had sprouted wings and could read my mind, Hamshik attacked me, screaming.

“Kkuek.”

“Eww, air raid warning, air raid warning! Hamshik is crushing Namin!”

Is it because of the wings? The ham-sik felt heavy. Oh, was the ham-sik originally heavy?

No. Even though Hamshik is a glutton, it’s still so big that it’s hard to lift with your hand.

And when it was cold, Hamshik would cover me like a blanket. At those times, it wasn’t heavy, it was just warm, so why is it so heavy?

I squirmed under the weight of it, then opened my eyes. Then I saw that white, cotton-like fur was pressing down on me.

Ah, I see. It can’t be real that Hamshik grows wings and flies.

No, there was no way Hamshik was alive. Of course, Hamshik had left for Haessibyeol.

So, the fact that Hamshik is lying on top of me right now is also a dream. Hamshik is clearly buried in the flower pot.

… … Isn’t it? Haven’t you asked yet? Come to think of it, my last memory was moving Hamshik to a flower pot, and then holding onto Hamshik and crying.

Ah. Maybe that’s why. I was crying while holding onto Hamshik so much that Narin might have delayed burying Hamshik in the flower pot.

There’s no need for you to do that because of me. If you do that, you’ll feel so sorry for Hamshik.

Of course, since Hamshik left Haessibyeol without becoming a ghost, it might not matter what happens to his body.

Still, I’m sorry. After all, the fact that Hamshik once treasured my body won’t change.

I stroked Hamshik’s fur with a sad look. If I ever bury Hamshik again, I won’t be able to touch his soft fur.

You won’t be able to hear that warm, soft belly fat, and the occasional “Kkieeeek” sound either.

… … But why is it warm? Oh, it’s because I slept with the ham cover on. But why can I feel my pulse pounding?

When I had doubts about that, I quickly realized, oh, I’m still dreaming. That’s why a living hamster is climbing on top of me.

The moment he realized that, Hamshik’s eyes opened. Hamshik, who had been sleeping spread out on top of me, licked his front paw and rubbed his face with it as if it didn’t seem strange at all that he was laying on me.

Washing my face as usual. I smiled bashfully at the sight and stroked Hamshik.

“Hamshik-ah, you came to my dream because I couldn’t say goodbye? At least that’s a relief. I was worried that we’d be parting ways without saying goodbye.”

“Meal?”

Usually, Hamshik would just ignore me when I say something strange. But maybe because it was a dream, Hamshik made a sound like he didn’t understand me.

“In heaven, you can eat as much as you want without gaining weight, right? So I hope you eat a lot of delicious food without worrying about turning into a pig.”

“in the meal?”

“And when Jihyun and I go there later, you have to come pick us up. Hamshik has good ears, so he might be able to hear us leaving, right? Then when we meet later, he’ll tell us a lot about his travels around the world.”

These are stories I couldn’t tell you yesterday because my emotions were too high.

But maybe it was because I was dreaming, or maybe it was because I had calmed down a bit, but I felt comfortable talking to Hamsik.

However, Hamshik in the dream did not react at all when he heard that.

It seems like my head couldn’t imagine how Hamshik would react when he heard what I said.

It’s not a sound so strange that it’ll make you scream, but it’s not like a hamster that understands speech would just ignore it.

Oh, I feel like I’m being looked at pathetically. That’s just because I feel that way when Hamshik stares at me.

It was just Hamshik’s usual appearance. So I petted Hamshik with peace of mind.

But then Narin’s voice was heard from above the cage.

“Hmm, hmm… … . Namin-ah, I’m talking about hamsik.”

Was it because the day was bright? Or was it because I overslept after crying myself to sleep? Narin was already getting ready to go out, not in her pajamas.

Oh, that’s not it. Since this is a dream, it wouldn’t be strange for Narin to be wearing any clothes.

“Yes, I know. This is a dream. So, Na-rin-ni unnie is also playing today! This is my dream. Oh, even if I say this, Na-rin-ni unnie in reality has to go to work… … .”

So I tried to convey to Narin the joy of playing outside the constraints of reality. But when I thought about it, it was all happening in my head.

It wasn’t like this that Narin really became happy. At that moment, I was feeling a little gloomy due to that regret.

“That, Namin-ah. This isn’t a dream… … . It seems like Hamshik has been resurrected.”

“Wow! Resurrection! Even Jesus has a cooldown of three days!”

“Colorful bird. This is not a cooldown, but a waiting time for activation… …, no, it seems strange to use such a term in the first place.”

Jihyun and Saekmusae’s voices could be heard from downstairs and outside the cage.

Hmm, yeah. I guess the dream creatures can say that because this is reality.

There’s a horror story I’ve heard before. It’s about a guy being chased by zombies and trying to reassure his friends that it’s all a dream, but then his friends get mad and say, “You’re the only one who’s in a dream.”

… … Then, Hamshik grabbed my cheek with his big front paw and stretched it to both sides.

“Eeee. It hurts, Hamshik-ah. … … It hurts? Was this a dream? Oh, did dreams hurt too?”

“Usually, when you’re sick, you wake up. Being sick is a signal to the brain that your body is in danger, and naturally, your body goes into a state of tension and you wake up.”

“Oh, it’s Jihyun after all. … … Huh? But Hamshik is alive and moving? ”

After listening to Jihyun’s story and trying to understand it, cognitive dissonance struck me again. If that’s the case, then does that mean Hamshik really came back to life?

I opened my eyes wide and sat up. Then Hamshik came down from my body and stared blankly at me.

“Really ham-eating… … ?”

Please don’t say no. With that in mind, I asked Hamshik with an anxious heart, but Hamshik still didn’t answer.

“Is this really a ham diet? Is it a ham diet that is soft and fluffy when you lose belly fat?”

“Keeek!”

“It’s ham-sik! Wow!”

Only after confirming that it was Hamshik did my heart finally swell. I had a funeral yesterday, and Hamshik was walking around with his eyes open. I thought for a moment that it was ridiculous, but if it didn’t make sense, then so what?

If you look at it that way, it doesn’t make sense for little Jihyun and I to be running around, and crocodile humans and ghosts don’t make sense either.

It’s become a world where that can happen. So I hugged Hamsik tightly.

Narin carefully began talking to us like that.

“I don’t know what happened, but this morning, Hamshik came out of the flower pot and went back. He was on the wheel by himself, making a squeaking sound. Didn’t you hear him?”

“Uh… … . I didn’t hear that.”

The story about digging up a flower pot means that Hamshik was definitely buried.

Of course, since hamsters are good at digging, if they were buried, they would have dug themselves out. When I heard that, my heart sank at the thought that suddenly occurred to me.

“Oh my gosh, so we buried Hamsik alive?”

“No, Hamshik was definitely dead at that time. I confirmed Hamshik was dead a few hours ago, and when Na-rin came home from work, she also confirmed he was dead.”

Fortunately, Jihyun calmed down the eerie imagination that occurred to me for a moment.

I haven’t really studied it much, but I know that the brain is destroyed just a few minutes after you stop breathing.

But if Hamshik is walking around like this, is it a miracle that I was hoping for yesterday? Or is there something wrong?

“That, Hamshik is really… …, no, he eats too well, so he’s fat, he’s healthy. That’s why he might have woken up again. But just in case, let’s go to the hospital together again.”

“Like!”

I was glad that Hamshik had come back to life, but I also sympathized with Nalin’s worries, so I nodded quickly and left the cage with Hamshik.

As soon as that happens, the color bird clings tightly to Hamshik.

“Darling, did you sleep well?”

Perhaps it was because he was annoyed by the whole body being rubbed, but Hamshik’s face showed a rare expression of annoyance.

But Hamshik didn’t kick Saekmusae. Still, I guess he was happy to see her.

As I was happily looking at the sight, suddenly my eyes caught sight of a flower pot with dirt flying all over it.

I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw the mini hamster covered in dirt.
