Childhood Friend Who Sees the Future Utters Nonsense

47 – Don’t be late

After hanging up the phone with Yuna, Si-yoon, who was acting as a guard at the small cafe right behind the flower shop, knocked on the glass out of constant nervousness.

It’s a bit difficult to express, but I feel like I’ve been missing something from a while ago. As she wrapped her head around it, the clock pointed to 9:00 before she knew it.

‘It’s here.’

As he stared at the night street in front of the flower shop through the window, a man was caught in his field of vision. In-young, a part-time job student, whom I sneakily checked on my way past. At times like these, I thought the streetlights were really doing their job.

According to the information that Yuna has obtained over the past few days, that part-time worker works part-time and stays at the flower shop only from 4 to 9 in the afternoon. Reflecting on that information, Siyoon pulled the hoodie’s hat over.

‘Are you going to go home?’

When he figured out that the part-timer was trying to enter the alley on the left beyond the vision covered by the hoodie and mask, Si-yoon was able to infer his destination. Because this was also one of the revolutionary achievements that Yuna gained with her own hands through her courage.

If possible, I’d like to sit still and watch the situation until he comes out, but it wasn’t possible.

“I’m sorry, sir, but we’re closing soon.”

“Oh, is that so? Sorry. I’ll be leaving soon.”

Although it was a little after 9 o’clock, like a small cafe in the neighborhood, the manager declared the closing time and asked for understanding from the customers inside.

Jiing.

“Thank you, come again.”

After being sent off by the store manager, Si-yoon opened the automatic door and went outside and immediately searched around him. Honestly, I thought it would be leisurely until 10 o’clock, but I missed the calculation. I need a place to hide for another 30 minutes or so.

‘There shouldn’t be.’

However, after washing his eyes and looking around, he could not find a place that could have been buried naturally. As if a power outage had struck only in this neighborhood except for the streetlights, the lights were losing one by one.

At least it was the cafe he had been relying on until recently and a flower shop that he didn’t have very good memories of.

He didn’t want to go that close if possible, but Siyoon had no choice but to move his steps and head for the flower shop. He intended to hide himself naturally, pretending to be looking at flowers for a while.

Upon arriving in front of the flower shop, a woman in her 40s who was busily carrying something behind her window quickly stepped outside. She looked as if she was happy to see a visitor after a long absence.

“Welcome. Oh my, are you young? Are you looking for flowers to buy for your girlfriend?”

“Ahahahaha…. Yes, that’s right.”

Even though she fiercely ignored Yuna’s aggro, she couldn’t easily ignore what others were talking to, so she couldn’t help but reply with a bitter smile. A blush appeared on the woman’s face.

“As expected. Are you a high school student? Or college students?”

“I am a high school student. Something bad happened to her girlfriend, so I’m going to buy it to lighten her mood.”

Anyway, today, he decided to play Yuna’s boyfriend, even if it was a lie, so he layered her on her girlfriend’s role and spoke with her stern skin on her face.

“A surprise gift? Hey, it’s a good time This handsome boyfriend even gave me flowers…. Your girlfriend will be happy.”

“What? Oh, so, could you recommend some flowers?”

“Sure. Oh, what is the budget by any chance?”

Since she revealed that she was a high school student, she might not have much money in her hands, so the female president kindly estimated and asked the amount she had brought.

Even though flowers seem cheap, there are some that are close to 10,000 won or more than 10,000 won for a single flower.

“The price doesn’t matter, just give me one or three pretty ones.”

However, since Siyoon is a high school student and has some financial leeway, she stylishly threw out the famous line, ‘Price doesn’t matter,’ and ordered a flower omakase.

I was in the middle of waiting for a simple bouquet of three flowers to be completed.

Turbuck. Turbuck.

“…… !”

I heard the sound of footsteps echoing through the shady buildings, so I wonder if the stalker was passing right next to the flower shop. It was no wonder that Siyoon’s eyes widened.

The opponent carrying a small bag on his shoulder and walking very cautiously into the alleyway. Siyoon, who was watching her from the back, thought about whether to follow her right away, but she decided to follow her after some time.

If she is conscious that there are people around, she won’t be able to take any action on the other side. If that happens, it’s a joke.

“It will pass for a while. Oops, a young guest has come for some reason.”

The moment the part-timer passed by the flower shop and disappeared, another human presence was felt behind Siyoon, and a sturdy man appeared. It was also at that moment that the high-pitched voice of the female president, who had been mild until just a moment ago, rang through the window.

“Honey, if you come, take the kids outside.”

“Are you going to do the deadline later?”

“I have a guest, how do I close it? Get off the ground quickly. Pay your bills and go right away.”

“Yes, madam.”

She must have been the husband of the female boss, so her co-wife began to look around her, revealing her temperament. She seemed to be looking for something.

“That is so strange. Did he even have legs?”

She said that a ghost is going to cry, and did she check the figure of her husband standing in the middle of nowhere? Again, a high-pitched voice rang out from inside the store.

“Honey, what are you doing without pruning the eggplants?”

“I don’t have the flower scissors I used to put here every day. Did you clean it up somewhere else?”

“Why are there no flower scissors? I leave them there every day.”

There are designated seats for large flower shears for pruning large potted plants outside. It hasn’t changed once since this store opened. So, in a way, it was understandable for the female president to blame her husband.

“Or didn’t Daehyun write that friend and put it somewhere else?”

“Are you Daehyun? It’s strange. He also put him in the right place after I said something….”

Siyoon frowned at the unidentified name that flowed from the mouths of the two, assuring that it was the name of a stalker.

What is it? She feels that the sense of alienation she has felt from earlier grows and swirls in her heart. ‘Flower scissors’, it was from the moment I heard that insignificant word.

Why did that thing disappear at this timing? Besides, the part-timer named Dae-hyeon from earlier, if you think about it, she had a bag on her shoulder. Even though it’s only natural that in order to chase after others, the body should be free of cumbersome things.

‘Han Yuna!’

While Siyoon was accelerating his accident by combining all that information, his eyes flashed open and a person’s face passed in front of him.

“Student, the flowers are all finished…. Ha, student!?”

He shouted the name of the main character with that face inwardly and ignored the voice of the head lady who came from behind her, kicked her seat and ran off to somewhere.

It was the same alleyway that the stalker had headed to just a moment ago.

***

“… Good.”

After leaving her company while exchanging greetings with her fellow trainees, Yuna looked at her street covered in darkness, strengthened her resolve, and began to move her steps.

There are two alleys she must pass to get to her house.

One is an alleyway with a park where she and Siyoon passed by when it was raining the night before, and the other is an alleyway where she had to rely on a streetlight that came out just before entering the park.

The street next to the park has a few people around, so even at night, a woman can walk alone, but the latter is a problem. The atmosphere was not so good that even Yuna, who had a large liver, felt that the air was always cool here.

“… ….”

The scenery of the alleyway we finally arrived at was the same as in the dream, only the lights were turned off and there was only a lonely stand in the distance.

And soon, the sound of footsteps from her dream penetrated her ears as well. Yuna made up her mind with the thought that she finally came.

I don’t know the ending after this. In the dream, she woke up the moment the other person called her name. There was nothing more frightening to her than the fact that she didn’t know what was going on behind her back.

‘No, it will be fine.’

However, the difference between the content of the dream and the reality served as a comfort to her.

In her hopeless dream, no one could help her, but now her Siyun is watching from behind. So you can move on With only her hopes as support, she managed to hold her own.

“Mr. Yu, Yuna….”

“…… !”

It was around the time of her arrival under her dimmed lamplight that her shallow voice, like her ghost sobbing, called to her from behind her. Clenching her fists, Yuna turned her head, and in front of her was the part-time flower shop student she saw earlier.

Perhaps it was a drug, but the trembling body and the crackling sound of teeth clashing were bizarre. Yuna managed to resist her desire to get rid of that monster right in front of her eyes.

“Oh, hello. hehehe, I guess you’re done practicing now….”

On the other hand, the other party, not knowing what Yuna was thinking, smiled in vain and opened her mouth pretending to have encountered the situation by chance. That cunning action made Yuna unable to hold back her anger.

“This stalker, was it you?”

“S, a stalker… ? I just saw Yuna on the way….”

“Stop talking bullsh*t, you disgusting bastard.”

Even in this situation, as Yuna put her lies in her mouth and smiled, Yuna’s heartfelt vomit came up. It would be nice if I could just pour that filthy vomit down this man’s mug.

“I know you’ve been chasing me since last year. Why did you think you could do something like this because I smiled a little? You loser bastard.”

“Losers, losers….”

Daehyun’s face, which hadn’t budged despite the earlier sales, was stained with despair at the single word “Loser.”

Without even thinking about what she had done, she was overcome with a sense of betrayal that the woman in front of her was nothing more than a piece of garbage that compared people only to her appearance.

Recognizing his trembling fists, Yuna wanted everything at this time, and as if she was pouring out her heartache, she pushed Daehyeon even harder.

“Why, because you say you’re a loser? Do you feel that way about a criminal who has grown old and does nothing but follow a girl who isn’t even an adult yet?”

“This, this b*tch… !”

In the end, as if that had become the decisive blow, from Daehyeon’s mouth, instead of the timid words of honor just now, curse words flowed out.

Let’s see, but it seems that this girl has nothing in sight. I was embarrassed that I had abandoned myself and went to another man, but when I tried to turn a blind eye to him with generosity and give him another chance, to think he was mocking himself like this.

Jiik.

With the intention of seeing the end, Daehyun took out the large flower scissors he had put in his bag.

As the sad day reflected in the moonlight and shone, Yuna realized that something was wrong.

Her lips, which had been scolding the man in front of her until just now, and her body, which had been moving wildly without hesitation, did not move as if it had stopped moving. The thought of what to do next was gone from my mind.

Knife, blood, death. Recalling the process that followed like her brainstorming, Yuna tried her best to somehow get out of this place, but her already hardened legs drove her into the pit of her despair.

‘Park Si-yoon, help me. Park Si-yoon.’

Seeing him approaching one step at a time, holding a pair of flower scissors that seemed to cut off a person’s fingers at once, Yuna only cried out one person’s name in her mind.

But on the other hand, I didn’t want him to come.

Like the last thought I had right before I drowned and lost my breath. If he came here, he might get caught up in it, so he wished he had run away. It was his own negligence that he took things lightly, so if he could go on, taking on everything, he considered it fortunate.

Took.

“Ah….”

Her body was blocked by a streetlight as she managed to backtrack. Seeing this, a sly smile formed on her man’s lips.

At that moment, she had a hunch that she was about to die. She would have noticed that it was a smile that could only come from someone who was completely determined about her murderous intentions.

“Search, you b*tch!”

At that moment, an angry voice escaped from her man’s mouth, and the blade of the flower scissors was about to rush at Yuna to cut out her brown eyes.

Wheein!

The siren of a police car that came from somewhere stopped her man’s hand for a very brief, really short time.

Daehyeon, not noticing that the desperate crowd, buried in the loud siren, came at close range, was about to wield the weapon again,

Pug!

“This bastard!”

“Cheer up!?”

With a sharp pain as if his head had been hit with a blunt instrument, his body fell straight out.

Seeing that scene, Siyun, the hero who appeared at the end, probably thought that the suppression was successful, and immediately approached Yuna and checked her condition first. Fortunately, there were no injuries.

“Han Yuna! Are you okay? You’re not hurt, are you?”

“Ugh, yes. I’m fine…. Si, Si Yoon! Back!”

Yuna, who nodded her head at this, raised her body from behind her before she knew it, and shouted in a hurry when she saw Daehyeon approaching with her weapon again. Siyoon also turned around using a spinal cord reflex.

Puff.

But no matter how quickly she turned her body around, she couldn’t properly block the attack that came in her careless state. She should have dropped it before the opponent could swing it, but she didn’t.

In the end, his hands blocked the blades of the flower scissors, and blood began to flow from his hands, but he withstood the tightening of the blades with his grip and swung his left hand as it was.

Wow!

“Yup!”

The punch struck the face precisely, and the opponent’s body fell out again, and the weapon rolled far away, reaching a point where it could no longer return to the owner’s side.

After struggling to stand up for a long time, the man’s body wriggled like an insect hit by insecticide for a while, and then stopped moving as if he had lost consciousness.

“Siyoon! Blood, blood!”

“Write…. It’s okay. Rather you?”

“Is it time to worry about me, you fool! Hurry up, stop the bleeding… !”

It’s not just a bit cut. Her right hand was covered in so much blood that even her skin couldn’t be seen properly because the blade had dug so deep.

Yuna frantically tried to get her towel out of her sports bag. But her hands were shaking so much that she couldn’t even pull the zipper. Her eyes widened as she wondered what would happen if Shiyoon did something wrong.

Swoop.

She managed to unzip her zipper and was about to pull out her towel from inside her when something landed on her head. Since she couldn’t use her bloodied right hand, Siyun used her left hand as a substitute and stroked her hair.

It was at that moment that the light from the street lamps, which felt so ironic, returned.

“… Sorry, I’m coming a little early. Weren’t you scared?”

Something surged in Yuna’s heart at the sight of him handing her an apology, as if he truly had no respect for her for causing her to experience fear even for a very brief moment.

Facing his eyes, Yuna stretched out both of her hands and pressed Shiyoon’s right hand, where her blood was gushing out just as she was. I could feel her wet, hot blood, but I wasn’t afraid at all now. That would be the case, because his presence was openly shown right in front of my eyes.

“It’s not too late, fool. Then and now…. You were never late.”

“Really? That’s fortunate.”

As I leaned my back against the wall with an effortless smile, I felt a number of people hurriedly approaching from the end of the alleyway. Fearing that something like this would happen, the police Si-yoon had called in advance arrived.

While they were approaching, Yuna never let go of Siyoon’s hand. As if he had seen a future where he would leave if he left it like this.
