A kind doctor I t yesterday gave a sketchbook that was a little bigger than a 10P canvas (55cm38cm).
The paper texture is not bad either.
It is not a standardized canvas in France, but it is usable as it is.
It would have been better if he had given emulsions and brushes, but the thick pencil set of these twelve colours is also very interesting.
The colouring is unfortunate, but the colour is unique, and even if I don't cut it with a knife, the led rises when I turn the tip of the pencil, so it is a very convenient tool.
The developnt of technology is also phenonal.
The graphite has beco harder and more convenient to use than before, and it can been painted in various colours, but there are countless things to draw.
How did the paint change?
What colour can I make?
As I continue to think about it, I felt too bad that I couldn't be born in this world.
The passion that's boiling in my heart.
The desire to capture this wonderful world on the canvas diminishes the guilt of occupying this child's body.
Hes only 7 or 8 years old.
This child must have had his own life.
But I took it from him for an unknown reason.
Even so, there is a desire in the corner of my heart to enjoy this world more.
A luxurious al and a clean spacious room.
Nice sketchbook and pencil.
Happiness from a healthy body.
Also the love received due to misunderstanding from this child's grandfather.
The dream-like ti of the past few days might probably be the last gift God has given .
I can't be greedy anymore.
"Hun, take your dicine".
While I was thinking like that, the nurse gave a pebble that look like so small eggs.
When I swallow it with water, she laughs.
"You eat so bravely".
If it's necessary for this child, it's right to do so.
Because this child shouldn't feel sick when I return his body.
The nurse stroked my head.
"You eat well and take dicine, so you'll get well soon and you can draw more of your favourite paintings."
It breaks my heart to hear that I can draw more pictures.
"When you get better, you have to work really hard".
As I stayed still, the nurse wrapped her hand around and cheered.
You were really, really sick. we thought you would never wake up again, but your Grandpa ca by every day.
Although I can't fully understand it.
It seems that this child's grandfather was terrified.
I felt sorry for him.
______________
Are you ready? Let's go to Grandpa's house."
After about a month from waking up, I was able to leave the hospital.
Having conversation is still difficult, but the sentences that I can understand has increased, and I still haven't found a way to return this body to the child.
For the ti being, I thought it was good for this child to act as the Grandpa wanted, so I followed him.
Soday, when I return this body, I want to reduce the problems that will occur at that ti.
Okay, get in grandfather's car."
I watched it a few tis through TV, but the car of Grandpa was completely different from the cars I knew.
The blue-coloured exterior is glossy and large.
When I tried to ride it, I hesitated because I felt little uncomfortable, but Grandpa comforted .
"It's okay.
His face soothing the child was so pathetic that I was forced to climb up.
My younger brother Theo said that a car was made, so he asked to succeed soday and buy it.
I didn't know I would ride it like this.
"Uh."
It's so fast.
I was amazed by the car that was moving much faster than a horse or train in an instant.
It's so fast.
When I looked sideways in surprise, people and wooden buildings passed by so quickly that I couldn't recognize the shape.
My heart is about to explode.
"Ha, grandpa!"
Fortunately, when I urgently shouted Grandpa the speed decreased.
The car stopped by the road.
My heart is pounding so fast that I can't co to my senses.
Hun
I was barely trying to calm down, but Grandpa asked sothing.
I don't know what the hell he wants in this urgent situation, so he looked at and asked again.
"What did you just say?"
Grandpa.!"
He was so surprised and I couldn't figure out what his problem was, but Grandpa suddenly laughed loudly.
"Hahaha! Yes! Yes! It's grandpa! Hun, who am I?
"Grandfather"
"Hahahaha! Yes, My baby, My baby. I'm your grandfather."
Grandpa suddenly reached out and ssed up my head.
I felt affection for so reason, even though he was too strong.
I can't believe hes so happy just for calling him.
I think he might have been had a hard ti.
After the car moved again, Grandpa stopped the car.
"Okay, let's get off."
Grandpa's house was quite large.
The stone wall is high.
As I passed through the iron door, I saw a two-story building with a small garden.
It is not comparable to a noble family, but at a glance, it is a wealthy house.
I followed him and as I was about to take off my shoes and go in.
"Hun, what do you want to eat..? Grandpa will do everything for you. Or should I order sothing..?
I don't know what to answer.
"You don't have to eat at the hospital anymore. Ah.. Do you like pizza? Shall we eat pizza?"
I don't know if the pizza that Grandpa is talking about is the sa as that pizza in Italy.
I roughly guess what I hear and understand, but it's still too eary to say in sentences.
"Pizza?"
Yes Pizza. Will you have so?"
"Yes."
It doesn't matter what it is, but I've tried it a few tis, so I think it'll be okay.
"Let's see. The phone number"
Hun, sit over there and rest. If you want to watch TV, watch it."
There's nothing like a TV to spend ti with.
There is nothing else to do, so I headed to the place indicated by Grandpa.
There was a very nice sofa and a much larger TV than the one in the hospital room.
And, a picture is hung beside it.
Oh my.
An oil painting of a woman sitting on a sofa.
It's amazing.
The form was set as simple as possible.
It's unconventional.
The exaggerated abundance, thin and thick boundaries, and the strangely prominent composition without feeling any three-dinsional effect deny the paintings I know so far.
But
Beautiful.
TV, cars, coloured pencils, and luxurious als were not as amazing as this painting.
As I was srized, I didn't even know that Grandpa was next to .
"It's a picture of dream".
"Dream"?
"Do you like it?"
I nodded.
Who in the world can paint such a picture?
"It will be a little difficult for you to understand yet. Let's study slowly with grandpa later."
I couldn't really hear what he said.
This painting is truly innovative.
It is not known when it was painted, but I dare to assu that it is a work that has leaped through the history of art at once.
"Who?"
"This? Who drew this?"
I nodded.
"It was drawn by a man nad Picasso.
"Picasso?"
It's a na I've never heard of before.
"Yes. Pablo Picasso, who was a genius among geniuses."
Pablo Picasso.
I should keep that na in mind.
While I was watching Picasso's Dream like that, Grandpa suddenly went outside and bought in pizza.
I saw pizza for the first ti in his life.
I expected Margherita with tomato sauce, cheese, and basil.
But the pizza Grandpa bought in was sparsely Brown, rich with ripen cheese.
at is cut into small pieces and placed all over it.
Vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions are cooked and placed on it.
It looked so fresh.
What the hell is this?
Is this luxurious dish really the pizza that I knew?
"Okay, let's eat."
Grandpa handed over a piece.
Grandpa laughed as I was thinking about how to eat it because of its burdenso thickness and huge size.
"Hahaha. You want grandfather to eat first?"
All right. Um. I ate it.
"Go ahead and eat."
I don't know whats so funny, but I'm glad hes in a good mood.
Let's take a bite.
The rich sll spreads throughout the mouth, filling the nasal cavity, and the savoury taste of touching the tongue makes my whole body shudder.
What kind of at spews juice.
How on earth did they grow vegetables that had a crunchy texture even though they were baked so well?
I'm sure that after 137 years mankind had developed a state of art pizza.
"Mi, Miracle."
I couldn't help but admire it.
Grandpa's expression turned strange when I was about to put the Pizza in my mouth.
"Hun, you."
I t his eyes while holding pizza near my mouth.
"Where did you learn French?"
I don't know what he was talking about.
Grandpa scratched his eyebrows.
I don't know what hes thinking.may be about this miracle pizza.
Then he finally opened his mouth.
"Que tu parles franais..?
It's French.
I can't believe there was soone who spoke French..!
I answered the question
"I'm so glad you can speak French."
"Yes, I know French."
Grandpa's face was filled with astonishnt.
"You're so good at talkingthen why did you keep your mouth shut?"
I was surprised and dropped the pizza.
"Huh?"
He asked once again and I answered.
"No one understands."
"No one understands? Who?"
"Nurse. Whatever I says, she didnt understand."
"Huh."
Grandfather rested in chair as if he was amazed.
"Korean?"
"I don't know."
While looking up at the ceiling he opened his mouth.
What kind of mother does not teach his son in mother tongue"?
Suddenly grandpa yelled in Korean.
Then he turned to .
"Yeah. you've lived in France for about three years, so you can speak French.
Ahhh, she should have taught so Korean at ho!"
He's suddenly yelling again.
I put down the pizza I picked up.
Now that I know that we can communicate, it's ti to tell him the truth.
Although it's harsh for him.
I can't just occupy this child's body like this.
As I was opening my mouth to tell the truth.
Grandfather shed tears.
An old man with a strong hand dropped tears so sadly.
"Grandpa thought you, you really couldn't talk in shock.
You punk."
But it was okay.
All you had to do is stay alive. Everyone said that you were dead. I thought I was left all alone in this world."
"But look at thisArent you alive like this?
You speak well..! Eat well! draw extraordinarily well?"
Grandpa, who was sobbing, approached and hugged .
I am not certain what to do.
To him who found hope,
I cant tell that your grandsonmaybe be dead.
I have to say, but my hand is already hugging his back.
"Grandpa"
"Hahaha! Yesyes You can just learn how to speak!"
Grandfather grabbed both arms and looked at my face.
Then, he hugged again.
I wonder how happy he is to be like this.
But I can't cheat and live.
"Okay. That's all I need. Let's live with grandpa. I'll let you do whatever you want and eat whatever you want."
My eyes went to the pizza I was eating without even realizing it.
"Do you like pizza?"
I'll buy you every day."
No. Thats not healthy.
Do you like painting.? This is a fake, but if you want to see the real thing, Ill take you to the Muse d'Orsay or the Louvre!"
Louvre? Are you talking about the Louvre Castle?
Yes! Do you want to see the Mona Lisa?"
Mona Lisa.
Is he talking about the genius Leonardo da Vinci?
I'm talking about La Gioconda?"
Wha That La Gioconda.
I really want to see it.
No, no, I shouldnt do this.
I am Vincent Van Gogh not Ko Hun.
Im a useless human being who lived in poverty and leached on my brother Theo all my life.
But at least I did not live a life with lies.
I cannot deceive this good old man and take over the body of a dead child to satisfy my greed.
And, I know better than anyone how harsh it is to live on behalf of the dead.
"Now. Lets eat first.
"Ah hurry."
I grabbed the pizza Grandpa had given to and put it in my mouth as if possessed by a ghost.
Delicious.
No Words can describe how delicious this pizza is.
This is the symbol of abundance.
How can this yellowish-ripe bread be so soft and chewy?
Tasty..huh?
I nodded.
This is the first ti I have eaten such a luxurious food.
I didn't starve, but because of the canvas, paints, and modelling fees, I ate bread that was so hard that my gums hurt.
However, this is also the happiness that this child should have had.
This man is not conversing with , but with his dead grandson.
Continuing this misaligned relationship will only make feel uncomfortable.
I was just about to tell the truth.
Suddenly, Grandpa pulled out sothing.
And do you like coloured pencils? Grandpa also bought colour pencils for you.
Grandpa pulled out an iron can with (100 Coloured pencils) written on it.
Let's open the cover.
Literally hundreds of colour pencils lined up neatly in a very beautiful shape.
My hands are shaking without realizing it.
how.
What can I draw with this coloured pencils?
No, since I can use such a variety of colours delicately, I can draw anything.
Isnt it pretty?
I nodded my head.
Do you want it?
I Want.
Little Hun, who am I?
Why dont you answer ?
Grandfather waves the coloured pencil in front of .
Grandpa.
Ha ha ha ha ha! okay! Here you go!
Grandpa, who always looked at with sad eyes, laughed so loudly.
