THE NOVEL'S EXTRA

C107. Rest


March 13th, 2013.

It was a piece of memory from a long time ago, a childhood story.

I still longed for it, because it was the only birthday I had where everyone was present.

Grandpa, Dad, Oppa, and even Mom. I wanted to see what happened on that day once more. I wanted to engrave it into my head, so that I could remember it for the rest of my life.

[03/13/2013]

Would it work?

I wasn't sure at first, but when I adjusted the time capsule's clock next to Kim Hajin...

Woong-

I was suddenly engulfed by white light.

"...?"

Before I noticed, I had become my younger self and was staring at a familiar garden, where a birthday party was happening. There were balloons anchored to the ground, and on top of a big table was a cake with cartoon characters and all sorts of delicious food.

"Nayun."

At that moment, a large hand touched my shoulder. Startled by the weight of the hand, my body became stiff. Then, the kind voice rang out once again.

"Nayun?"

It was the voice of a man who had yet to pass through puberty.

But I knew all too well whose voice it was. I barely managed to hold back my tears.

Today was a good day. I didn't need to cry.

"...Un, Oppa. You're here?"

My tongue didn't move as well as I wanted it to, but I decided to ignore it.

Oppa kneeled down and snickered.

"Guess what present I got for you."

"A scooter."

"...Eh?"

Oppa made a flustered face.

An electronic car for children.

I knew he spent three months' worth of his allowance to buy it.

"Uh... did someone tell you?"

Taken aback, he smiled wryly. I ran into his embrace.

"Thank you."

He looked a bit disappointed that I found out about his present, but he smiled and lifted me up.

"I'm the one who should be thankful."

Then, the front door became noisy.

Still nestled in his arms, I looked past his shoulder. Dad came with Grandpa.

"Aiya, my little babies."

Grandpa approached us, smiling kindly. Oppa handed me to Grandpa. Grandpa's chest was harder and heavier than Oppa's.

"Happy birthday, Nayun."

"Thank you, Grandpa."

"Oho?"

Grandpa looked a bit surprised. It was probably because I was scared of him when I was young.

Grandpa stroked my head and put me down.
