episode_0313

dawn,

A lot of things happened in the dark.

It was a painful and miserable night for some, but in the end it became yesterday.

“Then wait… I have to change my clothes at home… and get ready for work…”

Night patrols that lasted all night.

Eunha waved her hand to the old security guard and entered the apartment.

Hot and cold…

After the commotion was over, there was always the cleaning up.

The old man came out of the security office with all kinds of cleaning tools, as if he was going to clean up the messy backyard.

From midnight until dawn, countless traces of the galaxy and the ‘shadow mass’ falling from the 8th floor of the apartment.

Even though Eunha said she would help, the old man with his hat pulled down low pushed her away and told her to get dressed.

An old man who turns his head to the side and nags you to go take a shower.

Only then did Eunha look down at her own body, and she took off the only intact items she had, the fluorescent vest, the flashlight, and the security guard hat she was wearing, and handed them to the old man.

“Here it is. It’s written neatly.”

“There is torn leather stitched inside the hat.”

“… … .”

“What do you do when a young lady looks at you with a clean face?”

“But it was clean.”

“Oh my.”

He chuckled and ran away to the apartment.

The old man watched the back of the galaxy, holding memories of the past.

Crunch. Crunch.

Eunha entered the ‘Saebyeol Apartment’.

Always a smiling face.

The air inside the apartment was cool.

And as if it had been painted with a large brush… a ‘path of blood’ with crushed entrails, eyeballs, and the like scattered about continued from the entrance up the stairs.

The trail left by the galaxy and the ‘thing’ that was chasing her all night long.

“… … I was really sick.”

I headed towards the stairs smiling.

I want to use the stairs now.

Thud, thud…

As I was walking like that, a ‘tooth’ lying on the stairs on the first floor caught my eye.

A single molar that shines golden like the sunset.

Earlier, the ‘shadow lump’ that bowed its head to Eunha when she said there would be no next time left behind an object.

A monster whose body size has shrunk to that of a baby maggot compared to when it was first seen.

Eun-ha, who remembered the ‘thing’ that had crashed into the backyard several times after her, picked up the molar that had fallen on the floor.

Shiny gold teeth.

I thought it was only covered in gold on the outside like a person, but it’s surprisingly heavy.

It’s pure gold.

There is something of the shadow monster pressed deep inside this.

‘I’ve knocked out the monster’s teeth… Let’s keep them as loot.’

Eunha, who had the monster’s gold tooth in her hand, climbed the stairs with light steps.

I thought it was good.

This is radish that I harvested myself.

It’s only one tooth now, but what if we collected the radish seeds one by one and put them in a bottle?

The monsters that came after you might turn away in disgust after discovering a pile of radish in a bottle.

Because it’s better than nothing.

Humble.

Crunch.

After passing the 8th floor, which was so foul smelling, we arrived at the relatively clean 9th floor.

Eunha bent down, worried that her hair might touch the strangely dark ceiling, and entered ‘Room 904’, leaving red footprints in the clean hallway.

Click…

He managed to return home alive.

6:50 am.

“Whew…”

The house he returned to after a long time was cold.

But the coolness was short-lived. As I closed the front door and entered the shoe cabinet, an inexplicable sense of relief took hold and all the strength in my body let go.

The gaze that was looking at the living room slowly lowered down.

‘You did your best… Now…’

dump.

The galaxy that came into the hallway,

Get on both knees,

‘Ah. The carrier… I left it at the security office and just came back…’

Po-ok…

He just collapses in the hallway.

She was covered in blood.

I feel suffocated, my chest bigger than my head pressed against the floor.

‘Wash up quickly, pack your clothes, and get ready for work…’

Kekekeke!

He vomited out the blood that had accumulated in his lungs.

There were no visible wounds on the outside.

I just feel tired.

Is the pain I endured all night finally coming back to me?

Knock knock.

At that moment, the sound of a window opening was heard from the living room.

Eunha lay down in the hallway and let out a faint breath.

I don’t feel like moving. I’m sleepy.

I guess I shouldn’t have been driving at night.

I’m tired because I’m needlessly tense.

Bbong-bbang~ Bbong-bbang~.

Soon after, the alarm on Eunha’s phone rings at 7 o’clock.

Galaxy, who responded to that sound, tried to raise her tired body,

Beep-.

‘Something’ that crawled from the living room,

I turned off the alarm and caressed Eunha’s cheek.

“I wish I could suffer the misfortune of others instead.”

“… … .”

“The apartment residents resemble the North Star. Like the constellations that are connected.”

“… … .”

“If you, Cow, felt sorry for our story, we who look at you will feel the same way.”

I hear a familiar voice.

A refreshing feeling like pure white waves sweeping across a sandy beach.

There is a strange sense of impatience in his blunt voice.

“… The person downstairs.”

“Sleep at night.”

“No, I thought it would be okay to stay up all night for a day or so… It’s harder than I thought.”

“It’s not because I stayed up all night that it’s tiring.”

Swish.

‘That’ says.

My vision is blurry and I can’t see my face.

Just one thing.

The very relaxing sound of the waves caressing my eardrums.

“Wait a minute, I have to go to work…”

“Tell me.”

Swish.

The waves flow by.

It was a difficult night, but it was a night where I protected something precious.

7 am.

Eunha, who had collapsed in the hallway, closed her eyes as the refreshing feeling surged through her.

… … .

… … .

Daaengㅡㅡㅡㅡ!

morning.

The sound of the bell, which carries the passage of time, indicates dawn.

Daaengㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!

The resentment that reminds me of some time ago is the color of sunset.

Only those who reached the North Star heard the bell sound,

Those who carry the ‘upside-down cross’ wake up from their warm beds and face the day.

“Sister… I think I’ll be late to the cafe today!”

And one person who can’t hear the bell.

The rabbit girl, Eunbangul, rubbed her soft cheek against the cafe counter and tried to feel the warmth of the galaxy.

9 o’clock in the morning.

Today is also a peaceful [Rabbit Latte] day.

Kang Na-ri, who had changed into her uniform in the break room, came into the kitchen, sweeping her blue hair back.

“How does the boss know that?”

“I don’t know! Sometimes I do this… Isn’t it that some part of me is sending me signals!”

Snap!

A silver bell with pure white rabbit ears that flutter like an antenna.

At her bright cry, Kang Na-ri laughs and takes a step back.

I don’t have the courage to listen to that boss’s advice in a place without a galaxy.

Even more so because she lives off the president’s house.

“Isn’t this fate? My sister and I are connected by the thread of fate.”

“Ah… Yes… Then what should I do? If you’re worried, go to Eunha’s house…”

“No. I’m not going?”

Eunbangul was combing her drooping rabbit ears with her bare hands.

The girl blinked her eyes as black as tar and smiled brightly.

Kang Na-ri frowned as she checked the cafe recipe.

A rabbit who mutters strange words like “Ugh, I’ll starve to death without Eunha-sister…” while banging his face against the counter.

Although he seemed to be very worried about Eunha, he said that he would not go to Eunha’s house.

‘Well, Eunha told me not to come near her apartment…’

What a strange request.

Kang Na-ri shook her head repeatedly and hurried to prepare for the cafe.

If it’s the galaxy, it’ll be fine.

If nothing else, it’s because Banharin and the ‘mouse’ are sitting at the table playing around.

“Did you get it too?”

“Huh? Are you talking about the ‘clay doll’? It’s the one that’s left in front of the house in the morning.”

“… … My doll is more chubby than yours.”

“Team Leader, are you crazy? You’re not even a kid, so why are you competing with something like that…? Don’t bring it up.”

Two people, with serious faces, bend down to measure the height of the ‘clay dolls’ while placing the round ‘clay dolls’ side by side on the table.

The fact that those two are playing around peacefully means that nothing much is going on in Eunha.

Kang Na-ri, who heard Ban Harin’s ‘real story’, clenched and unclenched both hands as if it were a habit.

“Eumhmm~.”

The leisurely time of the cafe flows like that.

The silver bell hummed as it caressed the cash register with its fingertips.

Rustle.

How many times have I hummed?

The rabbit, who was looking closely at the people in the cafe,

She took out a torn piece of note paper from her apron.

“Hmm~♪”

The girl read the round handwriting on the note and chuckled.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

– Open your eyes and record the 28th day!

– I don’t think Eunha can come to work today! She should be given paid leave!

– I’ll take full charge of your apartment! No other silver bells allowed!

– Caution! After checking this note, ‘I’ should not go home and check the progress.

– If anything happens, don’t tell the ‘next me’.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

This morning,

A memo left on the window of Rabbit’s house.

This memo was placed in a secret space used by ‘The Other Silver Bell’ when they had secret news to convey.

‘Until now, all ‘me’s’ who entered the apartment have lost contact…’

Palang-.

The girl looked at the other side of the note.

The round letters are stained with ink from dripping water droplets.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

– Me too, and the other silver bells too… I guess they are all precious silver bells.

– I was saved by my sister.

– I hope you find happiness soon too!

– Let’s do our best together!

– I am so happy!

​

☆★ Day 28! This is the best record! ★☆

– ૮꒰ྀི∩´ ꒳ `∩꒱ྀིა Let’s show off to everyone!

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

A feeling of tingling in one corner of my heart.

Eunbangul raised the corners of her mouth as she combed her pure white rabbit ears with her hand.

’28th…… Ah, I went on a date with Eunha-unnie to Euncheon-gu on the holiday…’

You were alive.

That’s good.

Memories with the galaxy, part of it,

It’s not a hard note… it remains in Eunbangul’s heart.

Although, it is a silver bell different from yours,

Because our hearts for the galaxy will be the same.

‘Memories with my sister… Are you okay? If it were me, I’d definitely be so happy I thought I’d die.’

The girl hurriedly put the note away in case others saw it and tapped the counter.

Today is a day without a galaxy in the cafe.

But why is that?

happy.

“… Okay. I’ll leave it to you. Let’s all work together to make my sister happy.”

I had a dream. Because you were there.

Because you were my dream.

What did the little whisper contain?

Something connected like a constellation.

The cafe is quiet today too.

Daughter~♪

“Come here~!”

“Today is Eunha’s day off!”

“Go away~!”

Daughter~♪

Kim Sa-rang, the only daughter of [Changcheon Swordsman], enters with her black uniform fluttering, approaches like lightning and disappears like the wind.

Customers started arriving one by one.

Silver bells burst into a small laugh and greet guests with a bright smile.

Banharin, who had taken out a cafe uniform from her briefcase, lifted the ‘mouse’ and pushed it into the break room.

“Hey, you crazy team leader, why did you throw me in here!”

“I saw you working with Eunha-nim, and sometimes you looked at me with envious eyes. I’ll lend you my uniform, so please practice as much as you want while Eunha-nim is away.”

“Hey! No! Wow, you’re so strong!”

Two round ‘clay dolls’ are placed side by side on the table,

The day begins like any other.

… … .

… … .

Long, long ago, a long time ago.

He resembles a wall.

Never to be broken,

I lived like a castle wall that was taller and stronger than anyone else’s.
