When Ah Jin touched the hand of a human child, he was surprised to see a fingertip of his own. A little bit disappeared, but in the next second, he burst into a peaceful and happy smile, opened his hands, and hugged the girl he had liked for a long time. ------- "Come and hug me, Ying!" When I
first saw the ending, I couldn't help but feel sorry for Ah Jin, how could I be so careless.
But then the more I think about it, the more wrong it gets.
Jin, who was abandoned in the forest since he was a baby, Jin who is
used to spending time with fairies, Jin who
has met humans,
how could he not be able to distinguish the smell of humans and monsters?
So what did he think when he grabbed the human child in an instant?
I understand it this way.
Since the annual agreement with that girl,
Ah Jin slowly felt the warmth of human beings.
Over time,
as the girl grows,
this feeling becomes a craving.
"I keep this helpless distance every time, but I really want to hug her."
Ah Jin must have thought this way from time to time.
Although whenever the girl wanted to approach,
Akin opened it mercilessly.
Year after year,
Ah Jin could only face his inner struggles alone.
Finally, in the summer of a certain year, the
girl grew up to a flower-like age similar to Ah Jin,
Ah Jin thought, um, yes, that's the time.
So, on this beautiful summer night,
Ah Jin invited the girl to a temple fair unique to the forest.
In this temple fair,
there are fairies,
Yes, humans.
A piece of white silk,
holding hands at both ends.
"It's like a date!"
"It's a date!"
With the laughter and laughter all the way, I
walked through the lively alley and
watched the brilliant fireworks.
Finally, back to the depths of the forest, the road with
the footprints of the two of them in the past , the quiet path
full of warm memories of the past. When the fireworks reached the highest point, Ah Jin gently covered the mask in front of the girl. "Humans should do this when dating," Ah Jin guessed, so, calmly, he gently placed a kiss on the mask . went forward. Have you seen the surprised and shy face of the girl under the mask ? Akin? You just look back and smile relaxed and indifferent. I don't know where the naughty boy came running and almost tripped in front of you. So, you didn't hesitate to reach out and help. A touch of fluorescent light lingered at the fingertips. A warm feeling pervades my heart. Watching the firefly slowly burn and watch yourself fade away is a delicate experience. The next second, you turn to the girl and open your arms with a slight smile . "Come and hug me, Ying!"
You finally spoke the words that had been buried in your heart for a long time.
The girl was startled,
then without hesitation, she
rushed towards you, towards the love that seemed to be close at hand, towards
the long-suppressed yearning in her heart
, but finally,
towards an empty kimono
and a
familiar scent. mask.
At this point, the story ends in a climax.
Girl,
do you know
Ah Jin, how could he not know that the kid is a human?
How could he not know that just tonight, he would disappear?
Ah Jin, he had already arranged the ending for himself and was waiting for this day to come.
At that time, that almost surprised look was only because it was the first time he saw the fireflies on his fingertips so beautiful.
He knew that he would disappear, but he didn't know that the process would be so beautiful, yet so short and fast.
So he didn't have too much time to marvel,
he left the last time to you, to this long-awaited hug.
Girl, do you know this?
Girl,
do you understand
Ah Jin, why didn't he leave you the first touch of human beings, but it was that child?
Because Ah Jin understood that after the child ran away, he would only remember that there was a gentle big brother who once supported him, and maybe one day, he would slowly forget it.
But for you, the girl who had a promise,
grew up with you so that Ajin knew that if you were to end Ajin's life, it would be a big blow to you,
Ajin didn't want to let this blow Put it in your memory and accompany you for a lifetime.
All he wants to leave you is the memories of that summer,
The lively temple fair at night, the light kiss through the mask, the beautiful firefly on the fingertips, and the warm hug at the end.
Thus, there was a calm smile on Ah Jin's face,
because he had already made arrangements for his own destiny and knew everything.
Girl, do you understand these?
Girls,
do you realize
the joy behind the surprise when Ah Jin first saw you?
When you learned that he was not human, you were moved to go to the appointment every year?
Heartache when you tried to approach you countless times but had to reject you?
The love that slowly germinates in the heart?
What did those summers with you by your side mean to Akin?
And what kind of mood did Ah Jin spend in the spring, autumn and winter without you?
Finally, what kind of firmness does he hold to leave you the best memories in your best years?
Girl, can you experience these?
If, you already know, you understand, you experience,
then, girl, don't be sad.
This is not a sad story.
What Ah Jin wants to see is your innocent and unchanging smile like a child.
If one day, which familiar forest touches your summer memories and makes your tears uncontrollably flow out of the corners of your eyes,
then please put on the mask that Akin left you and don't let him see it.
Only this document is given to the boy who once lived in the deep forest and was born like a summer flower.
