The murmur of the river accompanied Beomgyu as he sat alone on the riverbank. The dark waters flowed past his eyes, their gentle lapping merging with the deep thoughts that coursed through his mind. The sky over Solitaria was bathed in a medley of colors as the setting sun, obscured by clouds, transformed the day into a masterpiece of hues.
Beomgyu held a smooth stone in his hand, which he let slip into the water absentmindedly. The ripples spreading out were like the waves within him. His thoughts swirled chaotically, like leaves in the wind. In recent days, his sense of vulnerability had intensified, revealing more starkly the limits of his own abilities. The moment of calm by the river offered him a chance for reflection. His gaze followed the shimmering waves in the twilight while questions circled in his mind.
Had he made the right decision? Was it selfish of him to leave his friends behind? Uncertainty gnawed at him like the erosion of the riverbank stones by time.
A sigh escaped his lips as he recalled Yeonjun's words. The boy's ability to communicate with animals seemed like another puzzle piece in this strange world. Was he really so different from the others in this town? Or did they all carry their own secrets, hidden behind the façade of survival?
Beomgyu closed his eyes for a moment and listened to the whispering of the river. The cool breeze brushed against his face, and he felt the weight on his shoulders lighten.
Perhaps it was time to overcome not only the physical barriers but also the internal ones.
As Beomgyu lingered by the riverbank, a small bird began to chirp nearby. Its delicate song blended gently with the river's murmur and the other sounds of nature. The melody seemed like a quiet comfort, softly seeping into Beomgyu's thoughts. Slowly, he opened his eyes and spotted the small bird, perched on a branch of a nearby tree, its vibrant colors standing out against the foliage. When their eyes met, it felt as if the world around them paused for a moment. The bird continued its chirping, as if delivering a message that only Beomgyu could understand. It felt as though nature was guiding him in a silent way.
Beomgyu slowly stood up, keeping his gaze fixed on the little bird that continued to sing. A smile flickered across Beomgyu's face, as if he sensed an invisible connection to this tiny creature. The thoughts that had previously troubled him seemed to clear, as though the bird's song had pierced through the confusion.
With each step Beomgyu took toward the tree where the bird perched, the feeling of connection grew stronger. As he approached the branch where the feathered messenger sat, time seemed to stand still. The bird locked its shiny eyes on Beomgyu, as if it wanted to convey an important message.
The bird seemed to have no fear of Beomgyu. Its small eyes fixed calmly on Beomgyu, as if showing more than just curiosity. As Beomgyu approached, the bird's chirping grew softer, and it almost seemed like they were having a silent dialogue. In that moment, Beomgyu realized that nature was more than just the everyday rain. It felt alive, and everything in it seemed interconnected. The bird on the branch was not a coincidence but a sign pointing him towards a deeper meaning of reality.
