Talent Absorption From the Age of 0

Chang-hyeon and Eun-woo were on their way to Myeong-seok's hospital with Sister Maria Kim and her daycare friends in Father Tae-seok Lee's car.

News came out on the radio.

“A man suffering from bipolar disorder in a high-rise building at ○○ crossroads donated 10 million won. Citizens saw the 50,000 won bill that fell from the sky and started to pick it up. As a result of this commotion, nearby traffic was paralyzed for 10 minutes, and Ms. Kim (30 years old, unemployed) was hit by a car and was in critical condition.

Ms. Baek (45 years old, running a supermarket at the intersection): Because money fell from the sky. People were surprised and frantically picked up the money that had fallen. I also picked up a few. I thought of the lost person and gave it back.

Even if money fell from the sky like this, it is not something that the person who picks it up can have. It must be returned to its original owner. But realistically, you can't find all the people you picked up.

Of the 10 million won thrown from the sky, only about 3 million won was collected. The man who tossed the banknote said he regretted it.

Ms. Jeong (52 years old, business) who threw banknotes from the sky: I suddenly cried because of the hardship and hopelessness of not being able to do business. I regret it a lot now.”

Changhyun said.

“There are things like that when money suddenly falls from the sky. But I feel sorry for the injured.”

Sister Maria Kim said.

“Because it makes sense in the world not to be greedy for other people’s money. It's unfortunate though. I should pray.”

Father Tae-seok Lee also agreed.

“We don’t know everything about the world. Just happy and sad together. I need to pray.”

The car arrived at the Hankuk University Hospital where Myeong-seok was hospitalized.

Sister Maria Kim said to Father Tae-seok Lee.

“I decided to come from Evergreen Taekwondo, so I’ll wait here for a while and then I’ll meet you.”

“If Sister gets off here with Changhyun and the babies, I will park and come.”

Eun-woo and his daycare friends were amazed at the first university hospital they had ever seen.

“Byungun Dita is big. Chado Manko.”

"Yeah, but I'm sick of being sick, but I'm afraid to walk with only injections."

“You’re right, Jusha Ann Mazni. You came here to sing a song.”

"Is not it? Ganchangejji? Well, the chingu in the biography is terrifying every day. Is not it?"

"Huh. So let's sing our song and dance too. Chinggus, be strong.”

"okay."

Then an ambulance broke through the children.

“Wow, it’s an ambulance. Polly Polly.”

The children called out the names of the robots they saw on TV.

“Have you contacted Kim Hyun-kyung and Kim Hyun-kyung’s guardian?”

"yet. There is no contact.”

“It’s a big deal. The accident is so big that I don't think it will last long. Serious head bleeding and femoral fractures. I think I'll have to go into surgery soon."

Chang-hyeon pricked up her ears at what the paramedics were saying, so she unknowingly went near the ambulance.

‘My name is Kim Hyun-kyung. no way… … ’

Chang-hyeon looked at Hyun-kyung's face, lying on the ambulance bed.

Hyungyeong was lying on the bed with blood for transfusion.

Hyungyeong's face was covered in blood and blood was dripping from his head.

“Hyun-Kyung-ah, Hyun-Kyung-ah. Why are you here?”

Sister Maria Kim said as she saw Chang-hyeon calling Hyun-kyung's name.

“Eun-woo’s mother?”

For a moment, Eunwoo felt as if her heart was frozen.

'Are you mom? you never hugged me She's a mom you can't even remember?'

Eun-woo went near the extra bed and looked at the woman lying there.His pale, bloodless face was streaked with blood.

‘My mother. Do you look like me?’

Unknowingly, Eun-woo began to tear off Hyun-kyung's face.

Then the paramedics said.

“The guardian of Kim Hyun-kyung has been contacted. She says she's coming here, so she asks me to go to the emergency room right away.”

The paramedics pushed the extra bed on which Hyun-kyung was lying and disappeared into the emergency room.

Changhyun stood blankly.

Sister Maria Kim comforted Changhyun.

“If you want to go see it, go see it. I'll take Eunwoo and the babies. You might regret it if you don't go now."

Changhyun hesitated.

‘A person who once loved and once resented. Still, she wanted to live well. Suddenly, what kind of lightning is this?’

Sister Maria Kim pushed Changhyun's back.

“Come see. Otherwise, you may not realize it later.”

Changhyun went to the emergency room.

Eun-woo's heart was complicated.

‘My mother who abandoned me is being taken to the hospital. It looks like it hurts a lot to see it covered in blood like that. But isn't it weird? It's not as sad as I thought.

I wondered what her mother would look like, but was she nothing more or less?

But seeing her father's face breaks her heart.

I guess my dad is also weird. My dad shouldn’t have to work very hard.’

Eun-woo thought about it, but suddenly remembered the God of Time.

'right. god of time. There was Kronos. Hurry up, we must summon the God of Time.’

Eunwoo said to the nun.

“Sister. I'll go to the bathroom."

Sister Maria Kim said in bewilderment.

“Eunwoo. It's a little difficult for me to go with, but there are other children. Can't we just wait a little bit and go after the priest or father arrives?”

Eunwoo thought.

‘Sister, I’m sorry. Actually, I don't want to go to the bathroom right now, I want to go to the emergency room. I wonder what your dad is like. Without Sister, I can’t think comfortably.’

Eun-woo rubbed his legs and acted like he was in a hurry.

“Are you okay? nun. How about a shoe that I will go to alone? I'll go quickly.”

“Yes, Eunwoo. Then go quickly. Eunwoo is smart, so can you come right away?”

"Yes."

Eun-woo concentrated his mind and called Athena.

“What happened? human? Didn't I tell you about the God of Hope a while ago?"

“That’s why it’s like this. I had to call on the God of Time.”

“The god of time? Do you think I'm the kind of person who can tell you anything you want? i am god Do you know how busy you are?”

"sorry. But Sharyami has just moved out of her residence. My mother.”

“Human, you always excite my sympathy. The little kid has so many stories. but tell me Don't be fooled into thinking that I'll always listen to you out of sympathy. this is the last time

Well, think carefully about the hint I give you. Time is both absolute and relative.

This is my hint. Because humans don’t make any effort if you tell them everything.”

Athena disappeared.

Eun-woo urgently called for Athena.

“Go away. Lose it.”

Eunwoo thought while crying.

“Time is absolute and relative. The figure of Kronos I saw in a children's book was a scary figure with a scythe. Just as the God of Hope had the face of an old man, the appearance of the God of Time may not be what I was expecting.’

Eunwoo closed her eyes and summoned the god of time again.

'Time flows equally everywhere. But at the same time, time is also different for each subject. Time has no form, but it rules over humans and rules the Earth. Thus, the God of Time is everything and nothing.’

The god of time summoned by Eunwoo had no form.

Cronus, the god of time, appeared in the air.

"I'm surprised you called me. Human.

The human who called me hadn't been there for hundreds of years. Are you enlightened?”

Eunwoo answered.

“It’s the 3rd side of life, so it’s a little bit crazy. At that time, my talent was exhausted.”

Kronos answered.

“Have you not heard of me? In myths, I appear as a monster that ate children. I didn't even have any respect for my family. Aren't you afraid of me though?"

Eunwoo thought.

'It's definitely different from other gods. I could easily understand the feelings of the other gods, but I can't understand the feelings of Cronus at all. But I'm in a rush right now.'

Eunwoo answered.

“I thought it was a parable. Because all myths are allegorical. Time is merciless. Yagami makes it a hymbi, a hymbi.”

Kronos laughed.

“You clever man. You need my talent? Do you know what it is to move time?

My talents are different from those of other gods.

If there are multiple people who move time in the world, the outcome is unpredictable.

To have my talents, you must give your time.

how about Do you still want my talents?”

Eunwoo asked.

“Is it your cutie?”

“Yeah, if you want to turn an hour back, you have to give it an hour of your life.”

Eunwoo found Kronos's words interesting.

'It's definitely different from other gods. Other gods have lent me their talents as a blessing, but not Kronos. After all, nothing is free in this world. I'd love to hear more. The words of Kronos.”

Eunwoo answered Cronus.

“I’m not a bad contractor.”

Cronus replied with a smile.

“It’s fun. Human. I am the god of time It's different from Aphrodite, who cries out that she's pretty, or Dionysus, who can't walk properly because she's drunk. I am the most powerful god on earth, and the most powerful god in the universe. If you want to use my talents, you have to stamp my contract.”

Eunwoo's eyes widened as he listened to Kronos' words.

"contract?"

"Yes. Surely you don't think I'm stupid like the other gods? I will pick and take the time I want out of all the times of your life. Maybe I can get rid of the memories you cherish the most. Do you still want my talents?”

Eun-woo's mind became complicated.

Kronos laughed.

“Probably by now, your head is complicated by calculating profit and loss. Because human beings are like that. Let's do the math slowly. Now you can call me anytime. The contract can be made at any time. Then I will.”

Eunwoo thought after sending Kronos away.

‘I don’t know when my mother had an accident. It may have to run at least 2 hours and as long as 4 hours. The god of time said he would take that much time in my life. Then some memories may disappear from my life.’

Eun-woo started looking back at his memories.

‘My older sisters and older brothers who came to see me when I was selling clothes at Dongmyo Market.

And a national singing contest with his dad.

People who supported me when I got my family register in I Love You Tomorrow.Precious daycare friends and taekwondo school friends.

Gildong-hyung and Baek Soo-hee, who love me a lot.

And my fans who always support me and love me.

He told me that the weird chocolates, skittles, and sweets I made were also delicious.

The Italians I met while filming The Great Voice.

I miss Carlucho Grandpa.

Linda Kim and John met while recording the Winterland 2 ost.

The delicious food we ate back then and the pleasant memories.

The pounding I felt when my voice echoed through the streets on stage.

Those beautiful moments.’

For a brief moment, Eun-woo felt his life pass by quickly like a panorama.

'sorry. mom. I have no memories to give up for you.

She might have been different if my mom had made some ugly memories by my side.

But seeing my mom right now is no different than seeing an unknown woman on the street.

The only reason I hesitated is because of my dad. I think her dad is sad to see her mom.

But his father's sorrow will pass.

I can’t give up my memories because of my mom.’

Eun-woo turned his steps toward his emergency room and went back to the nun and his friends.

***

Changhyun was looking at Hyungyeong in the emergency room.

The nurse asked Changhyun.

“Are you a guardian?”

"no. i just It was someone I knew. In the past."

“The patient is currently bleeding too much, so it’s an emergency.”

Chang-hyeon looked at the medical blood connected to Hyun-kyung's body.

Several strings were connected to Hyungyeong's body.

The nurse urgently called the doctor.

“Sir, my heart rate is dropping.”

The doctor ran and put a stun gun on Hyun-kyung's body.

Hyungyeong's body shook with the impact of the electric shock device.

“Sir, you keep falling.”

Another emergency room doctor heard the sound and ran.

Two doctors were putting electric shocks on Hyun-kyung's body.

Hyunkyung's body shakes with the electric shock.

- Beep profit.

Hyungyeong's heart stopped.

At that time, Hwang In-gi, Hwang In-gi, Hyun-kyung's husband, arrived.

“I am Kim Hyun-kyung’s guardian.”

"sorry."

"Yes."

"honey. honey."

Hwang In-gi lay on the top of Hyun-kyung's body and started crying.

Changhyun left the emergency room without a word.
