Situations are just coincidences!
The main character of my story is an actor, he is already over forty years old, he descends from the famous philosopher Kohgzi, the South Korean actor, but descends from the Chinese philosopher Kohgzi-Confucius. The actor is a well-known person in Korea, so I give him the pseudonym Kunqu.
PROLOGUE
“Unfortunately, I am not yet married and have no children, but this does not prevent me from playing suitable roles.”
From the author's interview with the actor
REFRIGERATOR EMPTY.POTS ARE COLD.TIME TO LOOK FOR A HOUSEWOMAN
This morning, Kunqiu again thought that he had run out of milk in the refrigerator, and he had not eaten the homemade food prepared by his beloved housekeeper aunt, Ms. O, for a long time.
The housekeeper who took care of him for ten years left him a month and a half ago.
No, nothing terrible happened, just time, which spares no one, got to Aunt O. For more than ten years, an elderly woman and a famous actor lived in perfect harmony. Very often, the aunt even stayed overnight at the actor's house when her back hurt and it was hard for her to get home. She had her own room on the first floor. Auntie held on as long as she could, but time, as I said, takes its toll. A month and a half ago, my daughter took Auntie Oh to Busan. The actor gave his aunt a generous gift as parting. He was in no hurry to look for a new housekeeper, because he had a big tour in Japan, but because of the coronavirus, everything went topsy-turvy and the tour was canceled. And now it's time to think about who will help him run the household in the future. The most ideal would be if he could get married, and his wife would take care of all issues related to everyday life, but the issue of marriage was a painful issue.
Kunqiu stopped the treadmill, lay down on the floor and thought, he knew that finding the right woman to do the housework was hard enough. Laws, rules, barriers, other people's views, closed doors, classified information, journalists who always stick their nose into his affairs - all this required him to be very careful. Even if he was an ordinary person, and not an actor, even then he would be afraid to bring an outsider, unknown woman into his house, well, in this situation, he had to be very careful. Kunqu understood that he could not make such an important decision himself, but would it be possible to dream?
A few hours later, his manager was notified that it was time to start looking for a new housekeeper. Age in this choice did not matter much, but the actor did not like to part with those he was used to and therefore asked to find a woman of 30-45 years old, who would still be far from decrepitude and retirement. There was one more thing, one more requirement, the housekeeper candidate must not be a fan of Kunqiu. Kunqiu genuinely loved his fans, but preferred to love them from a distance. Not that he had anything to hide, but the thought that a woman would appear in the house, who would peep and eavesdrop, climb where she shouldn’t, horrified him. I think you now understand why the actor drove away the thought of a new housekeeper for a month and a half.
Kunqiu loved his home, but he had little time to seriously deal with everyday life, work took all the time, sometimes, when the filming schedule was especially busy, he stayed overnight at the studio or at the hotel, there was simply no strength to go home.
In the end, three candidates remained in the selection process. All three women had a solid track record, all three were over forty years old, all three denied being Kunqu fans, and also…
Kunqu flipped through all three resumes and found another under the stack. It turns out that there was also a fourth candidate, her resume was quite short, it did not take up even a page, but something probably interested his manager in this candidate, otherwise Kunqiu would not be reading her resume right now. The actor also tried to delve into what was written, but the lines blurred before his eyes. Still, because the actor has not slept for three nights. It was that time of the month when he couldn't sleep. Or rather, he slept, but his sleep was not deep, he woke up endlessly, usually by three o'clock in the morning he stopped fighting and went to drink coffee. It would be possible to leave the care of choosing a housekeeper to the manager, but the woman who remains in the selection process will have to work in Kunqu's kitchen, clean his bedroom, wash and iron his linen. That is why Kunqu understood that it was he who had to make the choice. He was sorry that with the departure of Aunt O, his housekeeper, the quiet times were over.
The fourth candidate who wanted to be his housekeeper was indeed unusual. She was Korean but had lived in Hong Kong and Tokyo for twenty years and only recently returned to Korea. According to her resume, Ms. Li followed her stepfather, who was a famous pianist, with her mother. Ms. Li lost her father at the age of seven. The woman even received an excellent education at one of the universities in America. It was not clear why, having such outstanding data, she decided and go to work as a housekeeper. This was not mentioned in the resume. Ms. Li said she would tell the employer everything if she was hired. After returning from Hong Kong, the woman lived with her maternal grandparents. Looking at the photo that was taped to the resume, Kunqiu thought that the face in the photo was so young that he just couldn't bring himself to call Ms. Li a grown woman. The manager attached a note to the resume. After reading it, Kunqiu understood why the manager was interested in this girl. According to what the girl said, she had never seen a single film with Kunqiu, and had not heard his songs, because she had lived a lot of time abroad. The girl had little experience as a housekeeper, she had only worked for two families, but if Kunqiu wanted to hire her, she could be put on probation. Kunqiu hesitated, the main goal of a housekeeper is order and comfort in the house, will Ms. Li be able to fulfill this? Thoughts were confused and Kunqu decided to leave the resume on the table for now, he wanted to make the final decision in the morning, but the dream left him after three in the morning, and he trudged to the kitchen. Resumes lay on the kitchen table. The top resume in the stack was Ms. Li's.
Looking at the photo, Kunqiu thought that his curiosity was a little piqued, he wanted to know something about the girl, in addition to what she wrote. A week passed and finally, the manager brought the girl.
Kunqiu did not like awkward situations, and therefore, during the conversation, he only smiled encouragingly and inserted short remarks into the manager's explanations. The girl clearly and boldly looked into the eyes of Kunqu, in these eyes there was no servility and delight in honoring the idol. Kunqiu truly believed that Ms. Li had never seen any of his roles in films. The girl asked intelligent questions, laughed in the right places, directly answered the questions posed, that is, she made a good impression.
Something confused Kunqiu, but he decided that this was due to the fact that the girl was young and cute. But when the meeting ended, Kunqu remembered the hairpin he had seen in the girl’s beautiful hair, and it seemed to him that he had once seen a similar hairpin in the girl’s hair, the memories of which were unpleasant and embarrassing to him.
However, upon reflection, Kunqu decided that this was just a coincidence. Once upon a time, Kunqiu was passionately in love with that girl, and the hair clip in the strange girl's hair stirred up memories. There was no filming today, it was that rare day when you didn’t have to go anywhere, you could just stare thoughtlessly into the flames of the fireplace, or even pour a quarter glass of expensive wine and inhale its thick aroma, reminiscent of love and summer. However, after drinking the wine, Kunqu grimaced, it seemed bitter to him, it was all the fault of the memories. Remembering the girl who remained in the past, Kunqu got excited. Taking out an album with old photos, he tried to find their common photos, but everywhere was only him. Many years ago, when this unpleasant story happened, one of his close friends, who was very worried then, decided that the girl was not worthy to be in the photo next to Kunqiu, and cut her off in all group photos. Therefore, now Kunqiu could only vaguely remember some details of the girl's face.
To be honest, the new housekeeper was completely not to his taste. She was too, how should I say, feminine, or something. Kuntsyu liked girls who did not look like non-representatives of their sex. He did not like noisy fools and crybabies, as he was afraid of tantrums and showdowns in raised tones. He liked strong and sharp women, independent women who knew how to set goals and achieve their goal at any cost.
Yes, the girl was beautiful, but she was too, how to say it, ordinary, traditional, or something. Knowing the biography of the girl, Kunqu expected something unusual, because the girl studied in America, spoke four languages, including Korean, saw and knew a lot. However, at the meeting, an ordinary girl stood in front of him. A girl you won't even notice if she's in a crowd of fans.
No, he didn’t want, of course, that the girl had a tattoo or a nose ring, God forbid, he only hoped that at least in the girl’s clothes there would be at least some hint of her life outside of Korea, but his desires did not come true. Again, in front of him was an ordinary girl, dressed in the same way as all modern girls in South Korea dress.
Three days later, the girl went to work. Before this happened, the manager checked whether the girl's resume was true. Everything has been confirmed. The manager, Mr. Kim, even met the girl's grandparents. The old people turned out to be very hospitable and treated Mr. Kim to dinner.
Everything that the girl wrote was true, and the moment came when she came. Having met the girl, Kunqu did everything so that she would not worry, but the girl was calm. This startled Kunqiu.
The girl immediately took up the chores that had to be done in a house that had hardly been cleaned lately. A month later, Kunqiu got used to the girl and treated her like a piece of furniture, furniture that moves. I. He was quite happy with this situation, it was convenient. Whether this situation suited Ms. Li, he did not know. Kunqu rarely spoke to the girl. It seemed to him that due to the fact that the girl turned out to be so insignificant and ordinary, his interest in her passed, he did not even begin to ask the girl those questions, the answers to which he did not find in the summary.
Usually, by the time Kunqu returned home, the girl had left. They only met on weekends, when the girl worked until lunch.
Shooting ended early that day. Kunqiu had a headache, it was again that time of the month when he didn't sleep, so he refused to go along with the other cast and crew to the restaurant. Returning home, he saw that the girl was still in the house, her shoes were standing at the threshold. When the sound of the vacuum cleaner stopped, the actor could not believe his ears, the girl sang, and she sang the song that he recently learned and sang at a fan meeting.
Blood rushed to the cheeks of the actor, he decided that the girl had lied, she was a fan of Kunqu and deceived him. The girl's voice was not set, but rather pleasant, she even sang a few notes not very accurately in pitch, but she immediately laughed and corrected herself.
Kunqu was a kind person, but he did not tolerate lies. He pretended not to notice the girl and went up to the second floor. Closing himself in the bedroom, he did not know what to do. The girl was conflict-free, and Kunqu would not mind if she worked for him further, but the fact that she deceived him ...
He wanted to call the manager to deal with the girl, but then he changed his mind, it would not be manly. Reassured, he went downstairs to clear things up, but the girl had already left. On Sunday, when the girl changed her clothes to go home, Kunqiu asked her to stay a little longer. The girl smiled and replied that she urgently needs to leave now, but if there are any questions for her, she will answer them to Mr. Actor tomorrow, if he does not mind.
The girl left, and Kunqiu remained with his mouth open. Now he understood how this girl differed from the rest, she was independent. He admitted that, most likely, other Korean girls would have behaved the same way in this situation, but there would have been only a few of them.
The patriarchal upbringing in South Korea instilled in boys and girls a certain pattern by which they lived. At home, obey your elders, at work, obey your elders, at university, at school, obey. Kunqu was also an ordinary schoolboy, and then a student, and went through all the stages of honoring the elders. Fortunately, there were no people on his life path who humiliated or offended him, being older, but he saw such situations and was very worried about his friends when they got into such situations.
Now Kunqu was angry, then he wanted to immediately fire the girl without explanation, then after a minute he calmed down and persuaded himself that he had to wait, and the girl would explain everything.
And she really explained. It turns out that Ms. Li was quite good at playing the piano, she was an art student in the US, and when she heard Kunqiu rehearsing at home in the music room and preparing for the upcoming fan meeting, she was curious if she could pick up an accompaniment for that the song the artist sang. Student times had long passed, and the girl’s fingers had not touched the piano keys for five years, so she had a little doubt in her abilities, and when she picked up the accompaniment, the song was so deep in her voice that she sang it even while cleaning.
That's all. When Kunqu confirmed that he was satisfied with the girl's answer, she smiled sweetly and, without expressing a single gram of resentment from the fact that she had to make excuses, packed up and left.
To be honest, Kunqu did not fully believe the girl, her answer was too fantastic. His first impulse was to turn to the manager again to check if the girl was lying about the fact that she studied at the Faculty of Arts, but immediately dismissed this impulse.
DIRECT SPEECH OF THE ACTOR
"If I like a girl, I won't act right away, and of course I won't confess my feelings right away."
From the author's interview with the actor.
Greetings!
I, Kunqu, together with the author of the book, we agreed that I would appear on the pages of this book only occasionally, that is, I would speak in the first person. Everything else will tell the author. This format of the book was not chosen by chance, when I act in films and dramas, I live the life of my characters, I feel comfortable working in this format, of course, when I play a role, I bring a little of myself into it, without this the image would not have turned out to be capacious and recognizable, but still seventy percent of the role is fiction, it's a figment of the screenwriter's imagination. Exactly the same ratio will be in this book, thirty percent is my direct speech, seventy percent is the story of the author. You must understand that there is me, but there are myths and fantasies about me! When I appear on the pages of the book, it will be true; when the author appears, it will also be true, but the truth that the author sees.
So, come with us and let this path be easy and interesting!
Yes, wait! One more thing d For especially incredulous and picky readers, we decided to add a slogan that, all matches with real characters and places are just coincidences! Of course, you and I know that everything written in this book is true, but there are such readers ... In short, start reading, and as you read, everything will become clear to you.
Ms. Lee
The penultimate chapter ended with the actor questioning the identity of the new housekeeper. Reassured, Kunqiu asked Mr. Kim to send him copies of the documents that were kept in the agency's office—these were Ms. Li's documents. Until now, he had only seen Ms. Li's ID card, and education documents, insurance certificates, and other documents were stored in the agency's office. The manager was surprised, but did what the artist asked. And again, Kunqu made sure that the girl did not lie to him, she really studied at the Faculty of Arts. After that, he breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, he did not want to change the housekeeper at all. And time flew forward again. So six months passed.
The event I want to talk about happened on the 6th of January, on that day there was so much snow that all the traffic stopped, and this is not at all surprising, because usually the streets of the capital of South Korea are dry. The last abnormal snowfall was six years ago, and now there was so much snow in such a short time that the city admitted defeat. All vehicles stopped, and the children went to play snowballs and make a snowman. Ms. Li was so engrossed in her work that day that she missed the moment when she could safely get home. She didn't even look out the window and didn't see that it was snowing.
The artist told her about the snowy Armageddon when he returned home. Realizing that the girl would hardly be able to get home quickly, Kunqu offered the girl to spend the night in the room where Mrs. O stayed at such moments. The girl was surprised, then laughed, and then categorically refused. However, her categoricalness came to naught, as soon as she opened the door and went beyond the threshold of the house. A snowstorm began, it closed the view to all those who were unlucky that day and who were forced to get home on foot, not to mention the hostages who were forced to sit hour after hour in car interiors. Kunqu once again offered the girls not to take risks and spend the night in a room on the ground floor. And here, for the first time, he saw the bewilderment and embarrassment on Ms. Li's face. The girl barely audibly whispered that grandparents would be worried.
However, this problem was quickly resolved, the artist called the manager Kim, and the manager called his grandfather back. When this question was settled, Kunqu, in order not to embarrass the girl, informed her that he was going up to the second floor and would not come down until the next morning. The girl, who cheered up after the manager settled with her grandfather, told Kunqiu that she didn't need such drastic measures. If suddenly the artist needs to use the kitchen, let her do it without hesitation, usually at night she does not have a desire to shy away around the house and use the kitchen. Kunqu was again very surprised, he waited for any reaction from the girl, but not such words. It seemed to him that the girl was burning with embarrassment, and, having entered her room, she would move the furniture to the door so that the uninvited guest would not appear to her at night. The girl was not going to do any of this, she just smiled and wished the owner good night.
BEAUTY FATE
Hello my dears! I am the author of this book, or rather, I am the beauty of fate, which disguises itself as the author. You have already met the hero, now it is my turn to speak. However, I will be brief for now. My speech is my book, which you are about to read. The only thing I want to add is that I do not like to borrow other people's texts, and therefore everything that I did not come up with, but use in this book, will be in quotation marks. So, I summarize the first chapters.
The actor is single, but many circumstances prevent him from starting a search for the one he loves. Meanwhile, his housekeeper, Ms. O, quits. We need to find another housekeeper. Manager Kim offers the actor a choice of several candidates, among which is the young and beautiful Ms. Li Mei. Actor Kunqiu chooses her. Well, what do you think happened next?
CHEEK IS STUFFED
This story happened when our heroine worked for only seven months in the artist's house. Even then, she began to realize how much she likes her master. Each time she entered this house with bated breath, because she was attracted to this person. However, some circumstances prevented her from showing her sympathy for Kunqu. Yes, and to be honest, she just didn't know how to do it. She had almost no love experience. Moreover, from the attitude of the artist to his housekeeper, it was absolutely not clear that he somehow distinguishes her from other women. That evening, our heroine came to work at the artist's house in a bad mood. She had a bruise all over her cheek. A crazy mother threw a book at her, and the book hit the head in the face. The fact is that she worked as a tutor, and helped to teach English to those schoolchildren who were not given this subject. Twice a week she visited a boy who was in high school. The boy was diligent, but English was not given to him. Ms. Li used different methods to memorize the words, but English was still difficult for the boy. Maybe it was the high bar that his mother set for the schoolboy. The mother demanded that the boy had only excellent marks in all subjects at school. The boy tried his best, but the English language was a stumbling block for him. On that day, nothing foreshadowed trouble, but when the lesson was already coming to an end, the boy's mother burst into the study room, she was holding some piece of paper in her hands. The woman, wildly rolling her eyes, suddenly ran up to the boy and began to poke this piece of paper into his face, and then clutched at his hair. The girl tried to protect the boy, but she also flew. The crazy mommy grabbed the first textbook she came across and threw the textbook in the girl's face. As Ms. Li later realized, Mom was holding a printout of the student's half-year grades. In English, the boy had a modest three. This pissed off the mother. Got both the student and his teacher. The girl's right cheek was swollen from the blow. Having collected the textbooks, the girl left the house without saying a word. Looking ahead, I’ll say that a crazy mother dashed off an angry letter to an English teacher. She threatened Ms. Li with all sorts of punishments, and promised that this teacher would not get a job anywhere else. However, the employees of the agency were also not born out of the blue. The girl was crippled and could sue the agency that was her customer. Of course, Ms. Li would not do this, but the director of the agency was shocked. Upon learning that the mother of the schoolboy hit the teacher, the agency employees sent the data of this family to all agencies, and the boy, along with his mother, was added to the black list. After that, the woman tried for some time to find an English tutor, but she did not succeed, then she literally crawled into the agency and bowed to the ground. She asked to return the English teacher, but of course the girl did not agree to this anymore.
But that was later, now the girl was trying to find at least a piece of ice in the refrigerator to apply to her swollen cheek.
But he didn't show up. The mood deteriorated even more. After all, quite recently the girl checked, the ice was in the refrigerator, but today it was not there. It is good that Ms. Li discovered this in time, otherwise Kunqiu would have been dissatisfied, the artist asked the girl to make sure that there was always ice in the refrigerator. The door knocked, it was the owner. The girl turned away from him, her mood became even worse. She hoped that the shooting would last longer and she would leave before he returned. Well, since the owner of the house, she needs to become as inconspicuous as possible. Unfortunately, today she had to return home to her grandparents. This means that she will have to take the bus with such a face, and then the subway. It was not so bad, the disaster struck when the owner saw her swollen cheek. The girl was extremely embarrassed. While serving food on the table, she tried her best to turn her healthy cheek to the owner, but nothing came of it. The girl expected anything, but not such a reaction. Seeing Ms. Li's face, the man stopped eating and then ended his dinner altogether. The girl went to wash the dishes, and then she saw that the owner was standing in front of her in outerwear. So, Kunqiu immediately put on his coat and handed the jacket to Ms. Li.
- Are we going somewhere? - asked the girl
- Yes.
- And where to?
- In hospital.
- Not. No need. Nothing terrible happened.
- It's not even discussed. Have you seen your face in the mirror?
- Yes, but if I put ointment on my cheek in the evening, then by morning everything will be all right.
- And if you have damaged bones of the face?
By the way, how did this happen?
The girl briefly described the situation.
- Maybe you want us to apply to a law firm?
- No, I don't want to make a fuss. The owner of the agency said that he would punish the quarrelsome woman in his own way.
- Well, it's as you wish, but I have to take you to the doctor.
Fortunately, everything turned out not so bad, the doctor said that the facial bones were not damaged, only soft tissues were affected, he wrote out a prescription for the necessary ointments, and soon the girl was already sitting in the car.
When the house was not so far away, the car went flat tire. The actor parked the car at the curb and called the manager Kim. While the manager was driving, the actor suggested that Ms. Li get out of the car and take a walk in a park near the Han River. The girl agreed, but asked.
- Aren't you afraid that someone will recognize you?
- No, - handing the girl an umbrella, the artist said, - it's evening, and besides, it's raining. I don't think there are many people in the park now.
As it turned out, the park was empty. During the walk, the girl several times caught herself wanting to take the artist by the arm, and it even seemed to her that the artist had the same desire. She suddenly saw a swing and looked inquiringly at Kunqiu, who smiled and nodded his head. While the girl was rocking, Kunqiu stood aside under an umbrella and waited patiently. Lanterns were lit, Ms. Li went to the river parapet, and, leaning on it, leaned over the water. The lights of the city were reflected in the water, the water carried its waters, not thinking about those people who are now looking at it. The girl leaned too low and almost fell into the water, or rather, the artist thought that this almost happened. He took her by the hand and gently pulled her along.
- Yes? - looking at the hand that lay on her arm, she looked inquiringly at the artist - what?
- Let's go to the car, probably the manager Kim has already arrived.
The girl sighed, she did not want to leave here so quickly. As she looked at the water of the river, it seemed to her that this was not just a forced walk through a rainy park, but a walk through the park with a loved one.
The artist also reluctantly removed his hand.
KUNQU
The author asked: “Would it be interesting to know what kind of fish you would like to hook in the ocean of life? Because all of Korea knows how much you love to fish.”
Kunqiu replied, "I understand the double bottom of your question and the answer is, I want to catch a fish that I have never caught before."
From the author's interview with the actor
I think it's time to finally get to know the artist better. Like his great ancestor, Confucius, the Kunqu artist adhered to the principles of goodness and justice. The artist was a kind and fair person. Over time, the more he grew up, the more he thought about the roles that he played and will play again. He lived on earth for a little more time, but the farther, the more he thought about why he came here to this earth, and what mission he had. He used to be quite sensitive to criticism, but now he didn't care.
"When I think about the films I have played, it seems to me that every time I choose a script, my starting point is compassion for people. This has always been about myself. When I was filming Demon, I often used the words vulnerable, because I think that people, all people on Earth, are infinitely vulnerable. It is a pity that when we listen to each other, we basically just don’t hear, don’t listen to the end, interrupt. If only we could listen to ourselves, to others and to the world, the world would be more beautiful. Life would be even more beautiful if we became more compassionate to each other. Isn't it?"
From the author's interview with the actor
In each of his films, whatever his role, he spoke about compassion, about compassion for children, women, nature, the earth. These are, of course, general phrases, but this is exactly what Kunqu was. Every film he started was a separate planet. Each of his roles began with the fact that he asked himself if he believed in the proposed circumstances, was he ready to put a piece of himself into the image?
“Many years have passed since I started acting in films, over the years I have certainly changed. Has my attitude to the world, to the people around me, to what happens during the filming process? Yes, of course! I didn’t care about being criticized, now I don’t care.Now I think with horror that I missed so many situations, missed so many sensations, pleasant things, just because I was constantly thinking about what others think of me. Only now I understand that only after being freed from this everyday, every minute self-control, you can feel lighter.I want to talk about the greed for life.In youth, you want to see, hear, feel everything. greed problem has changed. I don't want to rush, sometimes things that I want to do right now, I forbid myself and try to prolong the pleasure. I tell myself: "Wait, there is no need to rush. It's okay if you don't sew it right now, this minute, no need to rush!”
Now I try to be more relaxed and brave, because it's time to really do what I want, without caring what others think. I have achieved a lot in my life, but I still have a lot to achieve. At that moment, when there is emptiness around me and when there are too many people around me, I try to find a starting point, a fulcrum, so that, as the great scientists used to say, turn this world upside down."
From the author's interview with the actor
Ms. LI MEI
I already gave you Ms. Li's last name, and now I'll tell you the name, her name was Mei.
After that snowy night when the girl stayed overnight at her employer's house, she now often stayed overnight if she did not want to get home across Seoul, to the house where her grandparents lived. Kunqiu was responsible for the girl in front of her family, and was very worried when Mei finished work late and got home for a long time at dusk. Mei tried not to abuse the host's hospitality, but it so happened that three times a week she still stayed overnight in Mrs. O's room. In general, between housekeepers she and the owner established a good relationship.
Meanwhile, the artist's illness worsened more and more. When the full moon rose in the sky, the hope for a sound sleep evaporated. The artist tried to go to bed early in order to get some sleep, but the clock was striking midnight, and the dream was leaving. It seemed that someone malicious was taking hour after hour out of Kunqu's life. He used to wake up at 3:00 in the morning, but now the sleep time has decreased, and he began to wake up at midnight.
GREAT PHILOSOPHER
Nighttime sleep deprivation has become a problem. Kuntsyu began to look bad in the morning. He fearfully waited for the approach of the full moon this month. For the role in the new film, the artist lost a little weight. In the new film, he played a not very healthy person, and his chronic lack of sleep played into his hands so far. In any case, no one has yet noticed how poorly he orients himself in space in the morning. In addition to the fact that he did not sleep well, his dreams, his short dreams, began to influence reality.
Lately, he's been dreaming about the same thing. He saw an ancient Chinese city in front of him, felt annoyance mixed with pity, and tried to help the inhabitants of the city, whom he saw in front of him.
The frames of the dream have changed. He heard the cries of a woman, the woman screamed in pain, but no one was in a hurry to run to help, he saw jets of water, saw a source that suddenly began to beat from under the ground, his dream ended with the cry of a baby. He saw women's hands lowering a baby into the waters of a spring to wash. After that, the source ceased to exist, and the water went underground.
In the morning, after drinking coffee, he thought about sleep for a long time. The clouded mind did not want to delve into anything, but the artist nevertheless came to the conclusion that strange dreams tormented him, because he still had not fulfilled his main purpose in life. Kunqu was already 41 years old, but he still had not been married. Perhaps the thought of the son he would one day give rise to his strange dreams. There was nothing terrible in these dreams, there was no hint of any horrors or anything malicious, just the dreams were chaotic and at the same time very clear. Kunqiu still saw the branches of the mulberry tree in front of him, under which the baby from the dream was born. In fact, he saw only the source, only the mulberry tree, he did not see the woman who came there to give birth to a baby. He saw only the hands of a woman who held a newborn boy, heard the cry of a child, and heard the voice of a mother who was saying something soothing.
I will not intrigue the reader, those dreams that the artist saw were dreams about the moment of the birth of the great philosopher Confucius. The artist did not immediately realize this, but comparing different moments from his dreams and the facts of family chronicles, he came to the conclusion that he saw exactly the moment of the birth of his great progenitor.
So, there are two interpretations of strange dreams, strange painful and chaotic dreams of an artist. The first interpretation, since Kunqu was still unmarried, he thought that dreams were a hint that he would soon meet a woman who would become his wife and give birth to his son. The second interpretation is pictures from the past of the great philosopher and thinker Confucius.
There is such a version that the events of the life of the progenitor are recorded in the genes of all his descendants, when these events pop up in the memory or in the dreams of modern people, this means that for some reason the family memory came to life in a person. Like it or not, the artist did not know, and would rather not know in the future, all he wanted now was sleep.
WHY IN SOUTH KOREA ARE MARRIED SO LATE
South Korea is an unusual country, to begin with, in this country, however, as in all Asian countries, there is a very tough selection, a very fierce struggle for a place in the sun. If young people in Russia can freely get married when they come of age, that is, at the age of 18, then in South Korea, girls and boys at this moment only awkwardly begin to look at the representatives of the opposite sex.
Begins studies at colleges and universities. The process of study is so difficult and cruel that it leaves no time, or almost no time, for personal life. In some universities, it is directly stated in the charter that students of this university do not have the right to some personal preferences, that is, to put it simply, young people do not have the right to privacy, not to mention sexual contacts.
This is in Russia, it is quite in the order of things if a girl and a guy live together before marriage in order to get to know each other better, and marry only when they find out that they will soon become parents. This trend is not only in Russia, but also in other Western countries.
In South Korea, if young people suddenly declare that they have decided to live together before marriage, they will be looked askance not only by older members of the family, but also by their peers. Boys and girls in South Korea begin to think about family, marriage only at the age of 35-38, that is, at the moment when the studies are over and there is work, there is a good salary to support the family.
I do not give my assessments and do not say whether this is good or bad, I just point out the fact t.
Of course, in South Korea, as well as in other countries, everything cannot be so simple, someone breaks the rules, someone adheres to them, and I'm just talking about a general trend.
That is, the story that you are reading now is just about this, about people who have already crossed the line of thirty years and who hope that now, when they have followed the life path that the older generation prescribed for them, great love awaits them ahead and happiness. However, there is nothing certain in life, sometimes it happens that great love will never come, and the clock is ticking, and the hope of running into the last car of the train called love becomes more and more illusory.
MEI WATCHES A KUNQU FILM
“Problems of society and politics do not play a big role in my life. When I start shooting a film, I think about and hope that the people who will watch the film I am making will feel the same way I feel and think about the same things that I thought when chose this script to star in this film. I'm talking now about the film about unfortunate children. I remember, after reading the book, I was angry and thought about whether it would be interesting for people to watch a film based on this book, whether they would leave the TV screens at the very beginning of the film. Of course, it worried me. I was in doubt, but decided that I had to do it. I think you'll believe me that I had no idea that the movie was going to be a bombshell and the movie's title is used to name a certain child abuse law."
From an interview with the artist
Mei asked the owner to revise her work schedule. The girl had another part-time job, and she also studied at some courses. An American diploma was not enough for her, having decided to live in Korea from now on, she wanted to get a Korean-style diploma.
The actor respected the girl's request and her schedule was revised. On weekdays, she now worked in the afternoon, on weekends her schedule remained the same. Thus, on weekdays, she usually finished her work somewhere around 10:00 pm. If there was no bad weather outside, then the girl went home, but if she finished work late or it was raining or snowing outside, or both, then she stayed overnight in Mrs. O's room.
Kunqu, immersed in his own problems, did not notice for several days that the girl's eyes were red. Once, when he was having dinner, it seemed to him that the girl was crying, however, when he asked her what happened, the girl replied that she had allergies, so lately she has been walking with red eyes. The artist did not insist, although he was firmly convinced that he heard the girl crying. Well, if the girl did not want to let the owner know about her problems, then this was probably only a plus.
Although the artist was a very kind and understanding person, human injustice made him indignant, but the matter usually did not end with indignation, several times in his life Kunqu took measures to eliminate injustice. One day, he read a book that told how boarding school workers bully hearing-impaired children. It was a real story, but the book did not make a big resonance. The workers of the boarding school were only threatened with a finger and nothing more followed. The actor was so indignant that he insisted that a script be written and a film was made according to this script, in which he played one of the roles. This time there was a big scandal. Not a single employee of the boarding school has shied away from responsibility, even laws have been issued to protect such children.
But let's get back to the story with the girl. Red eyes and tears were on Monday, and on Tuesday the girl seemed to be in order. However, on Wednesday, when the actor turned to the girl to see if there would be enough food for the party he was throwing on Saturday for friends, the girl's eyes were again red and swollen. It's probably hard to distinguish an allergy from just a teary eye, but the actor was sure that he saw what he saw. But this time, he did not insist. It occurred to him that maybe the problem is in him, maybe he is not attentive enough to Mei, or did he overload her with work?
This time he decided to act differently. He invited the girl into the living room, seated her in front of him, they chatted about meaningless things, about the girl's life in America, about her studies, and when he felt that she was ready to answer, he asked her a direct question. The answer was in the usual manner of this girl, she smiled and briefly said no. After that, she returned to work. Kunqiu felt that something was wrong, but he could not talk to the girl. A week has passed. Now the most difficult shooting of the film took place, the actor came home utterly exhausted, all his thoughts were where the scenery for the film remained, but that evening he came early, the shooting was canceled. When he entered the living room, he was stunned, Mae was watching the movie that I mentioned earlier and was crying. Seeing the owner, she wiped away her tears, got up, and without a word, without a word, went into the kitchen. Tele She turned off her visor. She was probably washing dishes, but the sound of running water couldn't drown out her sobs. The actor turned off the TV. Climbing to the second floor, he leaned back in his chair, exhausted. He didn't understand this girl, he desperately wanted to take pity on her, but he couldn't find a way to do it. Soon the cleaning was finished, and the girl went to her room.
PARTY
“I rarely starred then in romantic series. This project about the team of princes was liked by the audience and became a landmark. Sometimes I am unsure of myself. And when I was offered this project, there was just a period of doubt and search in my life. I loaded myself with work from morning to evening, without days off and holidays. However, more and more doubts took over me. I have a lot of respect for my viewers and would like them to consider me a unique artist. But romantic series is not really my thing, that's exactly what I thought at the time. The problem is that when such a series comes to an end, it leaves a very strong aftertaste. For a very long time after the end of the series, I can not get into the usual rut. My passions, my love, everything that sleeps or slumbers under the bushel of ordinary life, begins to splash out and sprout when the film is being shot day after day. Maybe that's why I try to avoid romantic series, because they give the illusion of love, but love comes to a person to last forever, and the series once ends, and emptiness remains in the soul.
From the author's interview with the actor
The party was planned for a narrow circle of friends, but this time the narrow circle turned out to be suddenly wide. Many more people came than planned, several friends arrived from America whom the artist had not seen for a long time, and at the last moment the list of invitees suddenly expanded. The party went great, Kunqiu rested his mind and body
Uk, also an artist and a close friend of Kunqu, wanted to be a DJ, and this person knew how to have fun. Jokes sparkled in the air, and the lawn shook with bursts of laughter from satisfied guests. A team of waiters was invited to the party, but the manager Kim refused the services of an administrator. It was decided that May would be in charge of the housekeeping part of the party. And the girl did an excellent job with the role assigned to her. The waiters and attendants were placed in such a way that no guest was left without attention. The party was already coming to an end when one of the American friends, who was pretty drunk and trying to swim in an ornamental lake with fish, was inflamed with passion for Mei. He suddenly pulled the girl to him and tried to kiss. The girl at that moment leaned over the table trying to fix the stand with starched napkins. The table stood on the outskirts, almost in the shade, and only the artist, who from time to time glanced in the direction where the girl was, saw further events.
So, at that moment, when a friend from America tried to give May his kiss, the girl twitched and tried to pull away, but she didn’t succeed. The drunken man dug into the girl's lips. Kunqiu rushed to Mei's aid, but he only made it towards the end of the action. There were still twenty steps to the scene of action, he did not hear what the girl said, but he saw that the man was sitting on the ground and his nose was bleeding. Having reached the battle arena, the artist heard that the girl was laughing and saying something in English. The guest sat with a red face, probably the girl's words touched him even more than a blow to the nose, he began to rise, his expression left no hope for a successful outcome of the conversation. At that moment, Kunqiu finally ran to the scene of the conflict. The guest was eager to fight and promised to teach the arrogant waitress a lesson. The artist tried to explain to a friend that the girl was not a waitress, but the guest was already in such a state that he simply did not hear what they were saying to him. He rushed at May, but the girl, instead of fleeing, again said something mocking in English. The situation was getting out of control, the American friend was the same height as Kunqiu, but obviously weighed seventy kilograms more than the owner. Despite this, Kunqiu would certainly have covered Mei with his body, but this was not necessary. Manager Kim finally saw that things were not right and the drunken man was first calmed down and then taken home.
Mei took the napkin, stroked her lips furiously a few times, and then smiled at the owner and, as if nothing had happened, went on to manage the party.
When the guests left, it was time for the waiters. Mei seemed to be in several places at the same time, she moved so quickly from one end of the terrace to the other. When everything was finally cleaned up and the team of waiters left Kunqiu's house, the artist decided it was time to rest. As he poured coffee, he suddenly remembered the note that one of the waiters had given him. The waiter found this note under the tablecloth where the artist was sitting with his friends. The note was clearly addressed to the artist, because it was lying under the tablecloth, exactly in the place where the dishes from which Kunqiu ate stood.
write down sku found at the moment when they removed the tablecloths from the tables. The artist did not immediately have time to read it, but now that time has come.
I wrote it so solemnly, but to be more precise, the note was given to the artist five minutes ago. So, the artist poured himself some coffee, stretched out his tired legs and unfolded the note. The note read:
"Credit or cash?
Who will pay?
It doesn't matter who pays. Both of you will pay a high price for this!"
At first, the artist thought that someone wanted money from him, and the extortionist left his demand in such an original way. But after thinking, he suddenly became confused, and remembered that such words were spoken by one of the heroines in the film in which he played the main role.
Oh, it was one of the key moments in the film, it was a little plot to the action, where, by the way, his close friend played the angel of death, the one who was at the party today. I mean Uka.
The hero and heroine meet on the bridge, their hands simultaneously reaching for a ring that is being sold by a jewelry vendor. The heroine and the hero, once, several centuries ago, held this ring in their hands. The jewelry saleswoman is also a difficult woman, she is a deity who can take on, when necessary, the appearance of a beautiful and mysterious woman.
In general, the phrase that was written in the note and that, at first glance, looked so menacing, was just a phrase from the movie that the screenwriter once came up with. But, nevertheless, the situation remained unclear, the artist did not understand what this note means, if it is a threat, then what is the extortionist asking for? And if it's a joke, what's the point of it? The party ended, the extortionist did not show up, and so the artist finally decided that the note was just a stupid joke.
May was crying, the artist heard this, the girl was in her room, but she was about to go home. After the party, Kunqu apologized for the drunk guest, and then asked what the girl said to the guest in such an offensive way?
Mei said she accepted the apology, but had absolutely no memory of her words. The words were spoken from evil, and as soon as the guest left, the girl immediately forgot them.
But it turns out that the girl lied to him, she did not forget anything, and now she was crying from the fear and humiliation she experienced. In order not to embarrass Mei even more, Kunqiu hurriedly grabbed his coffee mug and went up to the second floor.
KUNQU'S BIRTHDAY
“There are girls who enjoy chatting at night and have nothing against night calls, but there is another type of girl who hates night calls and texts. When the artists were asked on a talk show how they feel about late-night calls and messages to their ex-girlfriends, Kunqiu and Wook answered with pleasure, and admitted that such a sin is common for them, both sent messages to ex-girlfriends in the middle of the night. However, when the artists were asked about the choice, that is, they were asked to make a choice between love and friendship, the artists were no longer so unanimous. Wook chose love, Kunqiu chose friendship."
From the author's interview with the actor
It was the height of summer outside, July, and Mei rarely stayed overnight at Kunqiu's house now because the weather was exceptionally fine.
However, one evening, the actor invited Mei into the living room and announced to the girl that, in three days, he had a birthday. The celebration will take place in a restaurant. Since the artist is a public person, it was decided to rent the entire restaurant so that outsiders would not enter the party. There was silence in the living room and suddenly the artist said
- I want to introduce you to my family, and therefore I invite you to my birthday too. Ms. O was like a member of the family, and I want you to know my whole family too. Judging by your facial expression, I can see that you want to refuse, but take your time! I told manager Kim that I am looking for a long term housekeeper and therefore I want you to be aware of all my family affairs. Mrs. Oh was friends with my mother, I hope you will also be friends with her and my other relatives. Well, what did you decide, will you go?
-Yes.
Mei was laconic as always. The artist wanted to ask something else, but the girl had already risen from her seat. Soon the front door slammed, and the house was empty.
The birthday was scheduled for Saturday. A lot of people came, as in the case of the party, there were many guests whose visit was not planned in advance. These were distant relatives whom Kunqiu's mother decided to invite at the last moment. Naturally, the son did not even think to object to his mother. It was a round date, and therefore even relatives who lived outside of South Korea came. It was fun, noisy and crowded. The roar did not subside, which was replaced by bursts of laughter. At last the music began to play, and the steward took the floor.
The actor looked around the hall, in addition to the rest, there were about ten people in the hall, whom he had never even seen. Mom said that he simply forgot their faces, he met some of these people only in childhood. The celebration went on as usual, when suddenly one of the elderly relatives ran into the hall. She was pale and looked bad. A commotion began. Later it became clear that someone wrote the words of the threat on the mirror in the toilet. First in Kunqiu's impulse was to call the police, but his partner in the film, who was also invited to the birthday party, suddenly approached him and told him that nothing terrible had happened.
On the mirror was written in lipstick only a phrase from the film. The inscription was in the women's restroom, the actor did not dare to go there, and so the actress showed him a photo on the phone.
The inscription read:
"Tell me about your death, and I will tell about my grief"
And below the inscription was a sword.
An elderly relative decided that the artist was being threatened with death by a knife.
Mei sat apart from the artist, along with manager Kim and two agency workers, and watched the commotion.
Kim's manager, who, of course, could not stay away, soon returned and spoke about what had happened.
Looking towards the artist, Mei raised her eyebrows inquiringly, the artist smiled at her and began to rise from his seat, his intentions were clear. Kunqu wanted to approach the girl, but she shook her head.
By the way, due to the turmoil that arose due to the inscription on the glass of the mirror, the artist did not have time to introduce Mei to his mother and other family members. May, however, was only too happy about it.
The police were nevertheless called, this was the second message that disturbed the artist. The police came and left, the police assumed that the inscription on the mirror in the toilet was written by a woman's hand. If a man wrote this message, he would have to wait a long time until the toilet is empty. Therefore, obvious assumptions were still not so obvious. The incident with the inscription did not spoil the party very much, towards the end of the party, the constant DJ of all parties, the soul of the company, a close friend of the artist, Uk, appeared.
Wook had a shoot, but he still made it to the party. With the arrival of a friend, the party suddenly became interesting, and in fact some of the guests were already about to leave. But it turned out that the most interesting is yet to come. Wook had a lot of surprises that he came up with especially for the birthday boy.
The party ended well after midnight. When the artist looked back at the place where Mei was sitting, he did not see the girl. Kim's manager said May had left a long time ago, right after the commotion over Wook's arrival started. The artist was disappointed, he was sad that the girl left so early.
DON'T PRAY, NO ONE WILL HEAR!
Every year, at the same time, the actor invited a cleaning team to his house. A five-year contract was signed with the agency where this team worked. Of course, Mrs. Oh, and then later Mei, tried to clean the house very carefully, but they could not foresee everything. That is why the cleaning team looked into all the cracks during the general cleaning, and then later left the artist with written recommendations on where to make cosmetic repairs. These terms were written into the contract.
Mei couldn't be present during the cleaning because she had an exam. But in fact, she was not needed here today.
Every year, when the cleaning team came, Kunqiu gave Mrs. Oh a day off. It was reasonable because Ms. Oh and the agency workers had different views on cleaning. The artist, on the other hand, believed that it did not matter where the cleaning began, from the basement or from the attic, the most important thing was that the house should be clean and clean after this cleaning.
The fact that Mei had an exam also played into the hands of Kunq, knowing the character of the girl, he was afraid that disagreement in cleaning methods would not turn into a showdown.
Therefore, with a light heart, he let the girl go to the exam, and wished her only excellent marks.
He had a busy day today. Usually the actor rehearsed and conducted all the fight scenes himself, he very rarely used the services of understudies and stuntmen. Before filming a fight scene, there was always a lot of prep work done. Today was the final stage of preparation, and tomorrow it was planned to shoot this scene. The actor returned home completely exhausted.
He thought that the cleaning had already been completed, what was his surprise when one of the women in charge of the design of the room, embarrassed and stammering, said:
We don't know what to do with this find. These toys were scattered on the piano in the music room, and we need your guidance to decide where to put these toys.
Each toy is topped with a note on the back and we don't know your intention for these toys. Maybe you want us to install these toys in such a way that the inscription on the note is visible? Or, conversely, do you want the toys to face up?
The actor was amazed and could not understand what was being said. He himself had to go to the music room, and he really saw that the figurines of the demon were lying on the piano. There were six figurines, these figurines, since the premiere of the film where he played a demon, could be bought in any toy store. A piece of paper was attached to each figurine, a line of a quote from the film was printed on each piece of paper, a quote that I will give you now in full.
"I always listen. You begged for death and I gave you a chance.
But... why are you still alive?
I never erased your memory. You chose to forget everything, and now… do you think that this is the plan or the mistake of the Almighty?”
It was like a bad dream, someone was chasing or threatening the artist. Quotes from the film in which he played the main role, unequivocally reminded him of some bad deed that he had committed. As an artist did not try to remember, he could not find such an episode in his life. On the contrary, always and everywhere, he tried to do the right thing, according to his conscience, and according to the law. Having dismissed the alarmed agency workers, he put on gloves, put the small figurines in a box and carried them into the living room. The meaning of the quote was clear to him, it was not clear to him who exactly was throwing these riddles at him and why this person was doing it. Kunzyu thought. This was already the fourth time that someone tried to scare the artist, someone close to the artist, someone who was there on all these occasions when these strange finds were presented to him. Having made an analysis of what was happening, he suddenly realized that all these oddities began from the moment Mei appeared in his life. But, on the other hand, although she was at a birthday party, it seems that she did not even get up from her seat.
However, this incident with the music room that happened today ... The fact that the girl was not at home today, that she took time off for the exam, does not mean anything. The girl could prepare the figurines in advance, the fact is that the artist has not visited the music room for two weeks. It just hasn't been necessary yet. Therefore, the question of May's participation in all these strange cases remained open.
Finally, the actor stopped playing detectivo and simply told himself that this could not be.
The girl could be quick-tempered, caustic, angry, but in his opinion, she was not capable of meanness. But if it's not Mei, then who is?
The more the actor looked at the figurines of demons, the more it seemed to him that he was going crazy. It was not for nothing that the actor took the figurines with his gloved hands, he thought that the fingerprints of the person who left the demon toys on the piano could remain on the figurines. Yes, it could very well be. But in order to find out who owns the prints, it was necessary to take the figurines to the police, and the artist did not want to do this yet.
TEAM BUILDING
One day, the manager told the artist that the director of the agency would like to talk to Kunqiu about something and ask for advice. When the artist came to the meeting, it turned out that the topic of today's conversation will be the upcoming team building with agency employees. The actor had a lot of important things to do, but the director of the agency and the manager asked Kunqiu to go along with the team. The director said that these field trips are very important for the team spirit. Moreover, the director shared a problem with the actor, he said that one of the agency employees was leaking information about the artist to the media. Of course, going out into nature will not help you find this person, but it will help people who work side by side every day to relax and not react so sharply to the problems of the surrounding reality. Kunzyu had no choice but to agree. I will reveal to you the secret of what was the decisive factor in his consent. As soon as he thought that he could rightfully invite Mei to team building, life immediately sparkled with bright colors. May was an employee of his agency, and there were no obstacles for her to go along with everyone. Although... If Mei had refused, of course the artist could not have done anything. However, to the surprise of the artist, Mei not only agreed, but was also delighted. As manager Kim later said, the girl was so happy because she had never been to a team building. Endless moving with her parents from one country to another did not allow her to live a normal life, she did not have time to make friends, let alone go with a school class to nature.
May generally agreed.
After we arrived and settled down, there was a small lunch in the open air. Kunqiu said a few words of encouragement, and then handed over the reins to the director. Kim's manager prepared a box of joke gifts ahead of time. During an open-air dinner, each worker received a gift. Mei also received such a gift. She was presented with a comic figurine of a winged fairy with the inscription "Fairy of Clean Air and Water." The girl was happy! The artist tried not to look so often in the direction of this sweet, beautiful girl, but his head turned all the time to where her high voice rang, and an attractive smile shone brighter than the sun.
Mei enjoyed participating in all sports competitions for team building. It was evident that she had fun with all her heart and completely surrendered to everything that was happening now. The day flew by in an instant. It got colder in the evening and they decided to move dinner to the house, which was assigned today to the team of the Kunqiu agency who arrived. The house was warm, even hot. After the competition and the competition, everyone was excited and relaxed. About half an hour passed, when suddenly the artist heard that his phone, which he had left in his jacket pocket, was straining from wonka. The jacket was casually thrown among a pile of other jackets. However, the artist quickly found her. He put on his jacket and went outside. As he pulled his phone out of his pocket, something fell to the ground with a ringing sound.
A small iron medallion in the shape of a heart fell to the ground. When the artist opened it, there was a note that read:
"Are you happy that I sacrificed myself?"
After reading the note, the artist felt that all the charm of today was gone. It was very hard and unpleasant to feel someone's hatred. Someone systematically tried to lime the artist, someone decided to completely ruin his life. Kunqu was very upset! Suddenly it occurred to him that all these unpleasant things that had been haunting him for the past few months were the work of the one whom the director of the agency was talking about. The one who leaked information about the artist to the media was probably the stalker who systematically pursued the artist. Kunqu wanted to return to the pavilion, but then he realized that it would be simply unbearable for him to be near people, one of whom was the artist's mysterious ill-wisher. The mood has completely deteriorated. Sitting down on a nearby bench, he thought. Kunqu twisted the locket in his hands and tried to understand who put it in his pocket, but suddenly realized that any of those who had been with him all day could have done it. In such upset feelings, his manager Kim found him. The artist did not want to spoil the mood of the manager and director, but it was impossible to hide the fact of harassment any further. However, this time it turned out that the phrase written on a piece of paper was a quote from the film, where the artist played the main role of the general of the state of Kure. The heroine of the film, who was the sister of the general, and the queen of the state of Kure, sacrificed herself for the sake of the king. The text of the note was a quote from her words. The director promised to look into all these incomprehensible hints, and even call the police, but the artist did not want to spoil the evening so drastically for others, and again, for the umpteenth time, refused to intervene with the police. After conferring, we decided to leave the solution of this problem until the moment we return to Seoul.
MEI IS A HIDDEN FAN?
The author tried to lift the bar, which the artist lifts every day during training, but ... could not. This became the subject of a morning conversation between the author and the artist. The author asked:
How many times a week do you work out at the gym? The fact that sport takes a big place in your life is well known, but I would like to know a little more specifically.
The actor smiled, easily raised and lowered the bar a few times and replied:
“More specific?
Okay, listen carefully and don't say you didn't hear. After filming, after partying with friends, no matter how much I drink, how tired I am, I go to the gym. Of course, it’s hard to keep yourself within such limits all the time, but I can’t live differently. After the workout is over and after I took a shower, I feel relieved that I have passed this everyday stage for today. I check the box in my head and let go of this obsession for a while. Yes, over time, exercising everyday has become an obsession. I need to train a lot so as not to think about how much I ate today, how many calories I consumed. Time passes, I am still quite young, but the process of destruction of the body cannot be stopped, and if I do not take care of it now, then it will soon become obvious. Now that there were 40 candles on the cake, I understand that the body cannot be deceived.
From an interview with the artist
Yes, X time was still a week away, I mean the time of the full moon, and Kunqu was already feeling bad. Due to the coronavirus, he was unable to go to the gym, and therefore every morning he started the same way. Kunqiu had his own small gym on the third floor, and he wouldn't let himself start breakfast unless he broke seven sweats in a workout. The actor believed that now, when his life has exceeded the fourth decade, he needs to load his body as much as possible every day, regardless of the state in which he woke up in the morning. Today was a day off, it was sunny outside, and Mei did not spend the night in Mrs. O's room today. Therefore, the actor waited for the door to knock and the round face of the girl to appear in the dining room opening. Kunqu waited for this unconsciously, without realizing it. Finally Mei arrived.
“Hello, Mr. Kunqiu,” she said cheerfully, “the weather is great today!” Do you have any special requests for dinner?
- No, and if you don't mind, I'd like to talk to you about something before you go home after work.
-Good.
The girl stood for a moment, waiting for the owner to continue, but Kuntsyu was silent. He thought about something of his own, but suddenly shuddered all over.
- One day, when the weather is fine, I will be able to say that you were my first love! leaving, said the girl.
The girl went into the kitchen, and Kunqu decided that he was going crazy. What he heard simply could not be! Going to do prosaic business, to sit through the garbage or load his underwear into the washing machine, the girl changed a little and said a quote from a movie in which he played a few years ago. His first impulse was to stop the girl and talk, but he reversed in time. All that he heard simply could not be, probably, the approaching lunar days were again playing with his consciousness. Or were his assumptions correct, and all this devilry with notes, inscriptions, toy figurines of demons, the work of his beautiful Mei? No, he probably just imagined it. If you believe in this damn thing, then May will have to be fired, and he did not want this. It's the moon playing with him, he thought, it couldn't be any other way.
Is she a fan? The day was drawing to a close, and he could not calm down. He scolded himself and reminded himself of how many times he had made mistakes like this. Probably, the girl was still a fan, it is a pity that he chose her from the proposed resumes.
And suddenly the thought came to his mind, and how did the girl get to this casting, where housekeepers competed? He tried to make himself laugh, but the joke about the casting of housekeepers was not funny.
But seriously, how did she find out about the agency that handled the service staff for actors and singers? This agency was a closed territory, in order to find the email address of this agency and propose one's candidacy, one had to have either outstanding qualities or ... connections.
This is exactly what Kunqiu will ask Mei in the evening, he has accumulated a lot of questions for the girl, but they will wait. I would also like to ask about the quote that Mei said when she left, but Kunqiu, probably, will not be able to decide on this question.
EVERYTHING IS SIMPLE
“Our correspondent interviewed Mr. actor.
The conversation was about love, about love relationships. The correspondent admitted that he was surprised and puzzled that the actor is not in a relationship. He recalled that millions of girls would be the happiest if Mr. Kunqiu's choice fell on them. The actor replied: “I can be brave and courageous in many things, but this does not apply to relationships and love. It is difficult for me to confess my feelings to a girl. This is not only due to shyness or embarrassment, everything is much more complicated. because I'm an actor It's easy to become a different person on set and play a love story, which is something that I still haven't fully realized in real life It's easy for me to confess my feelings if I become one of my characters, because I clearly understand that my character confesses love, but not I. I will not hide, sometimes the love story that I play picks me up, but this is rare, and this, I will tell you, is a very painful process. Then it is very difficult for me to get back into the usual rut of life.Then, when the film ends, I analyze for a long time and live the life of my hero.If the role that I played reached the heart of the viewer, then sometimes the viewer begins to suspect that the chemistry that arose between me and the actress on the set, makes us feel outside of the filming process, when the film is already over.
Here the correspondent interrupted the actor.
- And what happens often?
The actor laughed and replied:
“I will leave this question without comment.”
From the author's interview with the actor
In the evening, Mei told Kunqiu that, as in the first two cases, she was given the agency's phone number and helped her find a job by an old friend of her deceased father. Although many years have passed, but a friend helped the May family and took part in all the significant events of this family. The only thing he didn't accept was Mei's mother's remarriage, but Mei didn't care, she never returned to Korea after her second marriage. And May missed her homeland, and as soon as the opportunity arose, she returned home. She had three options, she could live separately, she could live with her paternal grandparents, or with her maternal grandparents. On reflection, she chose the latter option, however, she had to promise relatives from her father's side that she would visit them often. After saying all this, Mei got up and started to leave. Kunqiu was a little embarrassed by the girl's manner of ending any conversation - in this way, without waiting for the interlocutor's response, but it was too late to educate the girl, and it was not necessary.
The shooting of the film, in which the actor played the main role, was coming to an end. And although the premiere of the film was supposed to take place in three months, the work of the actor was already completed. Now it's the turn of the assembly shop. A month later, the actor could be free. He had a little time before the premiere, as soon as the premiere passes, the hot days will begin again. It will no longer be shooting a film, but, nevertheless, there will be no time to rest. Interviews, screenings, meetings with fans, all this required preparation and physical strength.
Fortunately, now the actor was already partly Boden. But it turned out that the filming process was still in it. The actor still lived the life of his hero, he understood that it was impossible, the film ended, and it was necessary to let the hero go free, but so far he did not succeed. Because he's been so busy the last month, he barely sees Mei. By the time he got home, Mei had already gone home or slept in Mrs. O's room.
This is not to say that the actor did not think about a strange girl all this month. No, it's not. Thoughts about her were with him from morning to evening, but somewhere far away, on the very periphery of the brain. Girl, as if you were in his thoughts, and as if she was not there.
The premiere fever was growing, posters, posters, endless advertising on TV - all this fueled the interest of the audience, but it also forced the actor to leave the house as rarely as possible, and if the need to go somewhere was ripe, then this was accompanied by a manager and security guards . The hysteria of young fans has reached unprecedented proportions. Returning home, the actor tried to distract himself, somehow erase the shrill voices of young fans from his memory. The actor knew the price of the love of the fans, he knew that as soon as he crossed the line, began to act in his own way, not as prescribed by the rules of the free life of the actor, and then the love of the fans would turn into hatred. That is why the actor was still not married. A distinctive feature of Korean fans was that each of them considered the actor a potential groom and already chose a wedding dress in advance to go down the aisle with the actor. Actors and pop idols were cunning, started secret families, their children were growing up, but when all this was revealed, a grandiose scandal and hatred of the fans awaited them.
Kunqu didn't want to, he didn't want to hide anything, hide anything.
And then the day came when he didn't have to go to Studios. After some thought, he notified Mei that she would be given a week's vacation, while he himself went to Jeju Island to relax and fish. His task now was to break the thread connecting him with the hero of the film, whose life he had lived for so many months. Fishing helped in this like nothing else.
Mei was surprised when the actor told her that she would have a week off. She was excited and grateful. When she returned to work a week later, it turned out that the actor would be absent for another two weeks. The task of the girl was simply to keep the house clean, she could even live these two weeks in the house. It was very convenient, the house was in a very convenient place, it was within easy reach of the girl's second part-time job and the place where she studied.
AFTER JEJU ISLAND
“The author asked the actor about what he likes to do during his vacation, to which the actor replied that he likes to fish, and also added that when feelings and thoughts do not allow him to sleep and interfere with an orderly, everyday rhythm, the actor goes fishing to restore their morale. This usually happens after the completion of the next project.
“When I need to restore morale and get thoughts out of my head, I go closer to the sea,” the actor added.
The film ends, the love story that the screenwriter wrote and brought to life by the actor and actress ends. Probably, there are actors who easily leave one filming process and enter another, but I am not one of those people. This is especially true for films about romance and love. The viewer cannot be deceived. If you do not have feelings for the screen partner within the framework of a love story invented by the screenwriter and played on camera, then the viewer will not believe you. But there comes a moment when the fire of love that you have been growing in your chest throughout the filming, suddenly appears on the film and no longer belongs to you. The fire of love is passed along the chain like the Olympic flame, and finally reaches the eyes of the audience. Everything. That's when, just then, I realize that my on-screen love story is over. And that's when I go fishing to fill the void after the film ends. That's why I think that time spent with a fishing rod helps an actor well as a relief.
From the author's interview with the actor.
After returning from Jeju Island, the artist felt very good. As he expected, a few days in nature, fishing, long walks along the beach helped him a lot. When it was time to return to Seoul, he was cheerful, cheerful and full of energy. The house was clean and the food was delicious. While on Jeju Island, the artist wondered if he could give a gift to a new housekeeper? When Mrs. O worked for him, he always brought her little gifts, souvenirs, fridge magnets and other knick-knacks wherever he was. He did not know how his new housekeeper would react to such a gift, so he decided that he would buy a gift, but he would not give it until he knew the girl's opinion on this matter. The memory of the hairpin that was in the girl’s hair on the first day of their acquaintance was firmly embedded in the artist’s head, and therefore, walking along the beach, he chose a hairpin encrusted with pearls from a street vendor. pearl shells. A week has passed. He did not manage to talk to the girl that evening. Despite the fact that the weather was bad that evening, the girl told him that she was leaving and would spend the night at home. The girl was alarmed by something, her eyes were again red and tearful, several times the artist caught her short glances on himself, it seemed that the girl was waiting for some questions from him or wanted to ask something herself, but nothing happened . Just after dinner, the girl got up and left. And then suddenly the artist understood, or it seemed to him that he understood the cause of May's red eyes. The point, it seems, was his blind dates. Yesterday he announced to the girl that he trusts her and asks for help. Kunqiu asked Mei to choose a costume in which he would go on a blind date.
BLIND DATE
The artist's parents were worried that time was passing, and their son was still not married. Therefore, from time to time, Kunqiu had to go on a blind date. However, although such dates gave hope, things did not go beyond the first communication. This time, in order to find a daughter-in-law for sure, the artist’s mother personally went to the agency that was responsible for such delicate issues and selected nine girls. With all these girls, Kunqu was to meet within a month. Objections were not accepted. The date was structured in this way: a man and a woman were in a room similar to a confessional in a church and heard each other perfectly. The visiting room was divided by a mesh barrier. Young people saw each other, but badly. Only a silhouette was visible, by which it was impossible to judge the interlocutor. This was done on purpose, very often famous people came on dates, and in no case could it be allowed that it became known that these people attend such dates. If, after a blind date, young people expressed a desire to continue their acquaintance, only after that they received a photo of the one they liked.
The artist’s mother narrowed the search circle and therefore the artist had hope, he decided that this was his chance to become happy. Moreover, my mother approved the girls' candidacies in advance. All he had to do was choose. On that day, the artist asked Mei to choose a costume that would suit her taste for a blind date. So did Mrs. O, it seemed to the artist in such a way that he takes the burden of responsibility off his shoulders. Ms. Oh has always been very careful in choosing costumes for such dates. Mei did not refuse either, but the costume that she picked up, in the opinion of the artist, did not fit this type of date at all. The artist did not take into account one aspect, Ms. Oh, who was the same age as his mother and treated the artist like a son, sincerely wanted to help, wanted Kunqiu to finally find a wife, but Mei, who was a fairly young woman and seemed jealous, absolutely did not was interested in the fact that the date ended with a wedding. However, for some reason, Kunqiu did not understand this. He liked May, but he absolutely did not consider her as a wife. The oddities that began at the moment when the girl entered his life scared the artist away. Although, to be honest, it seemed to the artist more and more over time that Mei was exactly the girl he had been looking for all his life. True, thinking about it, he tried to drive these thoughts away. Kunqu reminded himself that the moment the girl entered his house, she seemed to him too inexpressive, too traditional, and simply not interesting. Now, when some time had passed, his soul was already drawn to Mei, but his mind rejected the girl, his mind kept repeating that Mei was not a girl of his circle, his mind appealed to those first impressions that he had made when Mei had just started working with Kunqiu . However, all these throwings of the soul and body were useless, Kunqu would never have confessed his feelings to the girl first. He preferred to grow and cherish that feeling within himself, but he doubted he would ever get the chance to tell May how he felt. Mei was so young and beautiful, and she didn't seem to like him at all.
It was the third blind date. The girl who was on the other side of the room had a beautiful voice. The voice was very sensual, and awakened some unknown sensations in the artist. In addition, the girl was apparently smart, she was happy to keep up the conversation, she could talk on any topic that the artist offered her. It was evident that the girl was sincerely interested in a date. The artist was happy. In addition, the girl said that she dreams of a big family. She dreamed that when she got married, she would have at least two children. This delighted and interested the artist even more. The previous two candidates categorically did not want children. In addition, the girl, whose face he did not see now, told that she had lived in Japan for several years and had a good command of Japanese. The artist spoke Japanese at a very intermediate level, and treated people who know several languages with great respect.
In general, to When he returned home, he told the agency that he liked the girl he was on a blind date with today.
After that, he asked to send a photo of the girl. The agency sent three photos, and here Kunqiu was disappointed. The girl's face absolutely did not correspond to her inner world. Unfortunately, the figure of the girl also did not meet the standards that he wanted to see in his future wife.
To be honest, the artist was upset. He even felt offended that the mental image that he drew in his head after talking with the girl absolutely did not correspond to what he saw in the photograph.
The mood was spoiled. He spent the whole day coping with his annoyance.
After that, he called his mother and told her that he would go on the remaining six dates only in two months. Mom gently scolded her son, but was already pleased that her son did not completely abandon the idea of \u200b\u200ba blind date.
LOVE
He stopped sleeping completely. Chaotic dreams lined up in a smooth line, and the actor finally understood what they want from him, what they want. Having plunged into the abyss of dreams, he felt physically ill. He dreamed that red threads drew him to a mulberry tree. He tried to break free, but the more he pulled, the stronger the threads entangled him. But as soon as he relaxed, the threads fell off, and he was free. This time he woke up at 23:00, so he only slept for an hour or so. This is if you consider that two times during this hour he even emerged from sleep, because he woke up from his own moan.
He woke up covered in sweat, very thirsty. Trying to walk as quietly as possible, he descended from the second floor. The kitchen was next to the room where Mei was currently sleeping. Her heart was beating so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest. Kunqu clung to the back of the chair, he did not understand what was happening to him now. In one hour, he turned into some kind of decrepit ruin. Tomorrow was an important day, and I needed to try to get some more sleep. Water helped the heart, the pulse ceased to frequent. Is it possible for him to drink coffee in this state, the actor did not know. It was the first time he had felt such weakness. Rising from the table, he awkwardly touched a nearby chair and he fell. The spacious kitchen filled with noise. Light footsteps were heard and Mei's tousled head appeared in the opening.
"Is everything all right?" the girl asked sleepily.
“Yes,” agreed the actor.
He felt awkward. He promised May not to appear near the room where she sleeps at night, but did not fulfill his promise.
I, - the actor wanted to say something else, but suddenly his head was spinning, and he fell.
Mei left the room, walked over to the actor who was lying on the floor, and leaned over him. Finally, this man was at her disposal. Of course, if there had been another person in Mei's place, another girl, she probably would have started to cry and lament, but it was Mei who was not going to tear her hair out next to the artist.
The first step was to bring the actor to himself. Mei filled her mouth with water and splashed the actor in the face. The man groaned. Having realistically assessed her strength, the girl realized that she would not be able to carry the actor to his room. Moreover, she could not even carry it to her room. Those who saw Kunqiu will understand what he is talking about, the actor's height was 184 centimeters, Mei's height was only 157 cm. Kunqiu was a big and strong man in his prime. Therefore, the girl did not think of anything better than to bring a pillow and a blanket and try to somehow shift the actor. Putting a pillow under her head and covering the man with a blanket, she decided that her mission was completed, but then her eyes fell on the cold floor tiles and she thought that the artist would feel very bad tomorrow, and maybe even catch a cold. She had to go back to her room and take a blanket. Laying a blanket on the floor, she gently rolled the man on top of him, adjusted the pillow and covered him again with a blanket. The man was still unconscious. The girl had never been in such a situation, and only vaguely aware of all its danger. She decided that if the man did not come to his senses within half an hour, then an ambulance would need to be called. But she didn't want to. She was very pleased that this man was now in her power. No, you don’t think that the girl was up to something criminal, she just had her secrets, and in these secrets the actor played a major role. Meanwhile, the actor did not come to his senses, the eyeballs under the eyelids moved chaotically, his breathing quickened. Mei began to get seriously worried, she was afraid that the actor would never come to his senses. She tried to wipe the actor's face with a wet towel, but the man, without regaining consciousness, pushed her away from him.
May got angry. There was a last resort, but before applying it, she decided to check the condition of the man again. Running her finger over his handsome face, she unbuttoned the collar of his shirt and put her ear to his heart. My heart was beating like crazy. After weighing all the risks, the girl leaned over the actor and kissed him. She so hoped that he would answer her with a kiss, too, but his lips were silent. feel voicing herself as a goddess who can do anything, the girl lay down next to Kunqu and hugged him. But Kunqu did not move. Nothing worked. The girl's gaze moved to the depths of the room, where her mobile phone lay. But before calling 911, she decided to try again. This time she kissed the actor more insistently and got the result, although not the one she expected.
The actor opened his eyes.
She only wanted him to kiss her back like in dramas, with her eyes closed, she didn't need him to come to his senses so quickly. But it happened. Seeing that the actor was looking at her, she got up to leave, but strong hands grabbed her, pulled her to him, and she felt that she was being kissed. It was so sweet and delicious, oh, if only she didn't have to take revenge on this man! Then this kiss would be her triumph! Remembering revenge, Mei tore her lips away and pushed away Kunqiu, who tried to hug her. Reason and soul tore her apart, her soul ordered her to stay where she was and kiss this man, her mind interfered with this. But in the end, reason prevailed. After making sure that the actor was all right, May left. Entering the room, she carefully closed the door behind her, but did not lock it, she knew that this man would never enter the room without her permission. So, it turned out, five minutes passed, and there was a knock on the door, the knock was delicate. Mei bit her tongue hard. She wanted so badly to answer, to call Kunqiu into the room, but she managed to restrain herself. No more knocking on the door.
NEXT MORNING
“The author and Kunqiu talked about dating over coffee. The author told Mr. Actor that she would like to know what type of girl Kunqiu likes? Modest, cute, shy, sly, sexy? The actor's response was unexpected. Kunqiu has hinted that he likes wayward girls who take the reins of dating into their own hands. He added that the times when society believed that a man should make a choice, as well as take the first step towards rapprochement, have already passed. The author perked up and decided to clarify something else with the actor, she was wondering if the actor met such a girl, how their relationship would develop further, to which the actor replied: “I would like to meet such a girl, but ... I don’t have thoughts about marriage.
Interview of the author with the actor
In the morning, the actor woke up, as if nothing had happened, there was no trace of malaise. There was no weakness, the heart was beating in a normal rhythm, nothing hurt and did not press.
Going down to the kitchen, the actor saw that the blanket and everything else remained lying on the floor, and breakfast was not prepared. At first, the actor thought May had left, but her shoes were still at the door. However, it didn't look like the girl was awake. Not a sound came from the room. The actor went to the door of Mei's room several times and listened, but everything was quiet.
The manager sent a message that the car would be delivered in an hour and a half, the actor had an important meeting today, but Kunqiu could not start choosing a costume for today's meeting. He was very worried about the girl. When the costume was chosen, the actor went to the door again and suddenly he thought he heard Mei's voice. He listened, yes, Mei was saying something, then she screamed. Fortunately, the door was not closed from the inside, and the actor ran into the room. The girl was unconscious, she tossed about in bed and moaned. The actor was frightened, he did not have the endurance that Mei had the night before. Upon discovering that the girl had a high fever, Kunqiu panicked even more. Half an hour later, two cars drove away from Kunqiu's house, in one the manager Kim was driving instead of the artist, the other was the ambulance in which Mei was taken away. The artist went with the girl to the hospital. When evening came and he returned home, he thought with horror that the moon would soon rise and his nightmares would return. However, this night went well for the first time in a year.
Moreover, the next, last night of the round moon did not bring the artist anything bad, he slept like a baby. Things were not so rosy with Mei, she did not regain consciousness for three days. And when she came to herself, she did not show in any way that she remembers the events of that night. As for Kunqiu, he was just happy that Mei had come to her senses, and that the moon on the last night was not fatal. May returned a week later and took up her duties. But, of course, nothing was the same as before. The restlessness is gone. If the girl perfectly pretended that nothing had happened, then such behavior was difficult for the artist. He did not like to lie and pretend. Once he tried to call the girl for a conversation, but she left the answer. When the two were at home, the air became thick and seemed like it could be cut into pieces. Feeling this, Mei almost stopped staying overnight in Mrs. O's room. The entertainer also decided that this was for the best, and yet he missed those times when the house was relaxed. In the end, everything returned to normal, especially since the new project captured the artist with his head. However, this did not please the girl very much, she thought that he had distanced himself from her. In principle, of course, they were never close, but before the start of filming a new project, she felt that the eyes of the artist were watching her all the time when she was in the house. Now the artist was rarely at home, and when he came, he quickly had a snack and went up to the second floor. It even seemed to her that he began to avoid her. In the new project he was filming now, there was a new heroine with whom he kissed passionately at the end of the film.
Thinking and comparing, May seemed to understand why the artist has not yet married.
Why would he do this, why get married, if every time, on the set, when shooting a new film, he experiences the whole gamut of feelings that lovers experience. After all, the audience expects that there will be chemistry between the characters, there will be hot feelings. That is, each new project gave him new feelings of falling in love and meeting a new girl on the set. These are the thoughts that sometimes visited the girl's head. The pictures that arose in the brain drove May into a frenzy, she gnashed her teeth and she suddenly became hot at the thought that right now her artist was kissing and hugging the heroine of the new film, and it doesn’t matter that this was happening under the guns of the cameras, the fact remains, he kissed another girl. Thinking about all this, May suddenly realized that now she was in the thrall of ordinary, vulgar jealousy. To remind herself why she was here, she opened her laptop and turned on the movie. It was exactly the film that her owner then found watching. However, if we put jealousy and revenge on the scales now, then jealousy would quickly outweigh the cup.
The actor was not doing well either, the shooting of the new film took place with small incidents, and besides, he could not concentrate on feelings for the heroine of the film. This was noticed even by members of the film crew. The artist kissed the heroine, and saw Mei's eyes and lips in front of him. It was hard, embarrassing and unsettling. With great difficulty, he managed to control himself.
IT'S SO GOOD THAT MAY IS HERE
A month has passed, but neither the actor nor the girl has become easier. The need to face every day even began to annoy the actor. Mei also began to think about quitting, but then she remembered why she was in the actor's house, remembered how much effort she had to put in to get her resume on his desk.
As a result, everything remained as it was. In the evening, before going to bed, she falsely wished good night to her master and received the same false gratitude for the wishes. Everything went on as usual, morning gave way to evening, evening gave way to midnight. The shooting of the new film was in full swing, there was still a lot of time left before the end of filming, but the promotion was already gaining momentum. The full moon was approaching. For some reason, Kunqu was sure that this time the moon would not disturb his sleep. And so it turned out. The moon outside the window was round and yellow, its light made its way even through the closed curtains, but the artist slept peacefully. Only much later did he realize that the insidious moon could break not only into dreams, three lunar days were also a test for Kunqu.
During the day, the moon is not visible, but this does not mean that it ceases to control people's lives and the processes that occur on earth when the moon is at its strongest.
Saturday morning began with trouble, Kunqu knocked over a mug of coffee, coffee, it was hot, it was very painful. There was a burn on the spot where the coffee had tipped over. Having knocked over the mug, the artist jumped up - this attracted the attention of the girl. Screaming, she ran up to the artist. Not wanting to look like a weakling, he tried to comfort Mei, but it hurt so much that he apparently couldn't control his emotions. Fortunately, the girl knew what to do in such a situation and provided first aid. In the hospital, where the manager later took the artist, they admired the girl’s actions and said that thanks to her quick reaction, there would be no trace of the burn. Returning home, Kunqu thanked the girl, she only smiled in response.
Returning home to her grandparents, she cursed herself on what the light stands. Once again, she reminded herself that she had come to this house to harm the artist, not to help. Well, what's done is done. And it makes no sense to torment yourself with reproaches. Indeed, by the next morning there was almost no trace of the burn left and the burn site did not hurt. However, this morning the artist was in for a new trouble. It happened in his home gym. During training, a poorly fixed part from the simulator fell on him. The blow was so strong that Mei heard its sound on the first floor, and the artist lost consciousness. And again, the artist was at the complete disposal of the girl, but this time the girl did not hesitate, she called the manager Kim. While the manager was driving, she turned Kunqiu's body the way she was taught in the first aid course at the university. Patting the artist on the head, she quickly jumped back, because she heard footsteps on the stairs - it was the manager Kim who arrived. The artist was left in the hospital, Kim's manager thanked May for being the one quickly called for help. The third day of the full moon came, the artist came to his senses, but he had a severe headache. After the headache subsided, he told the doctor that he wanted to leave the hospital, but the doctor disagreed with his decision. The doctor said that such bruises are very dangerous, and he would like to watch the artist for a few more days. Kunqu reluctantly agreed, but after an hour, he felt fear. Looking around the comfortable room, he was convinced that nothing threatened him, but his soul was restless. Calling manager Kim, he asked Mei to cook dinner and bring dinner to him at the hospital. Manager Kim volunteered to bring the dishes from home when the girl cooked them, but the artist pretended to be naughty, he told the manager that it was Mei's working time and he wanted her to bring dinner. The only thing the artist agreed to was that the girl was provided with a car with a driver. When Mei arrived, the artist pretended to be asleep. The girl unpacked the boxes with dinner, and laid out the dishes on plates. Time passed, and the artist was still sleeping. May was a little nervous, she knew how seriously the artist takes the temperature of food, if the food does not meet his ideas, then he will simply refuse to have dinner. It began to get dark outside, the girl walked around the ward, rearranged the dishes once more, then she went to the window and closed the curtains. And sat back down in the chair. Probably, the thoughts of the artist and the girl were moving in the same direction, because the girl suddenly jumped up and went around the ward to look for danger. She pulled the curtains, for some reason moved the door handle, finally, her eyes fell on the dropper, it seemed to her that the dropper stand was not straight enough, but fortunately everything was in order here. Mei sat back down in her chair. However, the nature of the girl was such that she could not sit still for a long time. Cautiously opening the door and looking out into the corridor, she made sure that the corridor was empty, and even took a few steps out the door, but then returned. Quietly closing the door behind her, she, trying to step as quietly as possible, approached the artist. She stared at Kunqiu for several minutes, even reached out her hand to his lips, and then drew the outline of his lips in the air. After that, she sighed sadly.
Time passed, and she still stood a few steps from the artist's bed, and stared at him intently. Then it seemed to her that the light bulb was cracking suspiciously, she immediately rushed to the switch and the click sound filled the ward. It became dark. The girl laughed and turned on the light again. Going to the floor lamp, she turned it on and adjusted the light so that it did not shine so brightly in the face of the artist and turned off the main light. And only after that, once again looking back at the front door, she came close to the bed and leaned low over Kunqu.
The artist was waiting for this, even waiting for a very long time. He was tired of lying with his eyes closed. Drowsiness periodically carried him into its warm embrace, but he fought courageously. Of course, he saw everything through loosely closed eyelids, what the girl was doing. And when she came close to his bed, he reacted with lightning speed. The girl tried to pull away when he began to kiss her, but quickly gave up. She didn't want to think about anything right now. Apart from the person who now passionately clung to her lips, she did not need anyone, the rest of the world had disappeared. This kiss ended just like the first one, after a while the girl simply pulled away. The artist wanted to say something, but she just shook her head.
- I... No... Don't try to get up, you need to sleep. I'll be with you until midnight. After that I will go home. You don't have to say anything. You have been hurt and you need to rest.
But I need to tell you something! Yesterday's event...
- I asked you to be quiet. It will soon be midnight, and tomorrow you will return home!
-Troubles usually last three days until the moon is gone. Today is the third day.
-Yes? Well, now I will know about it. I thought of something similar, but I could not immediately formulate my thoughts. In any case, there is an hour left until midnight, I will be with you.
- Could you move the chair closer to me? - the artist asked, embarrassed, - When you are around, I become more confident. I'm beginning to believe that before midnight, in your company, would be safe for me.
-Not. I will stay here, - the girl said and Kunqu did not dare to object.
MAY'S RESTRAINT
The full moon is gone. After returning home, Kunqiu's life went upside down. He couldn't think of anything but Mei, those two kisses brought back memories. But the more he wanted to repeat, to feel her lips, the colder and more distant the girl became.
The artist did not understand why she was so cold. After all, it was absolutely clear that she had feelings for him, however, like himself. If the first time her kiss could mean that she was trying to bring him to his senses, then the second time her response to his kiss spoke volumes ... or nothing. Looking at how calm the girl was in his presence, he began to feel that there was no second kiss. However, the headache that came on intermittently when he exercised too much of his body reminded him of the events of that second full moon evening.
In the meantime, time passed, a year had already passed since the moment the girl appeared in Kunqu's life. That is, a year has already passed since the first meeting. Despite such a long time since the beginning of their acquaintance, Kunqu knew little more about the girl than on the day they saw each other for the first time. After informing Kim's manager of his desire to celebrate the first anniversary of the girl's work in his house, the artist asked to organize a party. All team members who worked in the agency were invited. Well, and, of course, Kim's manager handed an invitation to the hero of the occasion. The girl's first impulse was to refuse, but looking at the manager, she realized that nothing would work out.
Smiling sweetly, she just nodded and informed the manager that she was taking the day off because she needed to get ready for the party. The manager immediately stopped smiling, but there was nothing to do, the girl was right, she needed to prepare. When the girl arrived at the restaurant, the whole team was already there. Manager Kim introduced her to those present and invited her to the table. However, for some reason the artist was late. The girl was worried, but realizing that the artist still had one day before the time of the full moon, she calmed down. Mei put a moon phase calendar on her phone and checked it regularly. She hated herself, but at the same time she was very worried about Kunqiu. She was scared to imagine what surprises the full moon was preparing for the artist again. While she was thinking, there was some kind of excitement, noise, and Kunqu entered the hall. Twelve people in dress uniform followed the artist, each of them had a basket with different flowers.
Coming to the middle of the hall, the artist and his companions stopped. There was a pause, and all eyes were on Mei. Not quite understanding what was happening, the girl, nevertheless, got up. Kim's manager approached her and offered her his hand. Mei hesitated a little, but was unable to respond negatively to this gesture of friendship. As Mei walked, fiddlers came out of two side doors and music began to play. Everything that happened was like a cheap melodrama, but it was probably impossible to stop the action.
Manager Kim led May to the middle of the room and returned to her seat. Kunqiu signaled to the people who were carrying flower baskets, and soon there were flower baskets near Mei on both sides. Those present began to applaud. Mei blushed, it seemed to her that she was being mocked, she was being played, but looking at the people who were applauding, she saw only smiles of encouragement and admiration.
- And once again, hello, - Kunqu spoke into the microphone, - I'm glad to see you all here today! As you understand, today I decided to introduce you to a new member of our team. I want to thank this brave girl for saving me, and today is a round date, exactly a year has passed since this girl entered my door. Maybe some of the team do not know, but my girl works as a housekeeper, she receives a salary on a par with all other office workers. Her work is very difficult, in fact, the housekeeper is a member of the family. When Mrs. O left, I...
At some point, the girl stopped listening to Kunqiu, it seemed to her that her body was split in two. One half of the body is standing here, while the other half remained where she saw the mourning photograph of her friend. Then Mei took a friend's hairpin as a keepsake so that she would never be forgotten.
When Kunqiu finished speaking, he extended his hand to Mei and seated her at the table next to him.
BOTTLE OF SOJU, HERE IS THE SOLUTION TO ALL PROBLEMS
Mei was embarrassed, but tried not to show it. Her eyes wandered and finally landed on a bottle of soju, and it occurred to her that she had seen a clue. Sometimes only alcohol can help in such a situation. Mei usually got drunk slowly, but this time she drank shot after shot almost without snacking. But, unfortunately, the blissful intoxication did not come. Kunqu looked at her from time to time, and although she pretended not to notice these glances, they burned her and reminded her of how sweet it was when he pulled her to him and kissed her. Mei had to go to the ladies' room. Standing up and taking a few bold steps, she suddenly felt that her legs could not support her. However, by an effort of will, which was still strong, she forced herself to go forward. Turning around, she saw that the artist was looking at her anxiously. Trying to smile as carelessly as possible, the girl waved her hand to the owner. She reached the ladies' room, even managed to open the tap, which doubled and tripled, but things did not go further than this, she could not understand which of the three jets of water was real. Tired of this useless business, she decided that a lot of time had passed and her owner was bored, and moved in the direction of the hall, where her manager Kim, the owner, and her new friends were waiting. However, no matter how hard the girl tried, she could not find the right path. Finally she thought that she found the door to the hall, but it was the door to the pantry. The intoxication she had been waiting for finally arrived, but somehow at the wrong time. Trying to open the pantry door, the girl smiled blissfully, and it seemed that a little more, and she would be where her beloved master is now. Now that she didn't have to pretend, she only wanted to love him. However, if she didn't open the damn door, she wouldn't be able to tell him how much she loved him. The door handle did not give in, the girl twisted it and pushed, even began to persuade her to open it, but nothing worked. Desperate, the girl slid down the door and sat on the floor, she cried and called Kunqiu. At that moment, our artist found her. Hearing what she was saying, he slowed down a little.
The drunken girl was sitting near the pantry door and confessing her love to him. Or rather, not even so, the drunk girl was sitting near the pantry door, and confessed her love, because she was sure, probably, that the artist was not around.
Kunqu was a little confused, he did not want the girl to be embarrassed. However, when she saw him, the girl waved her hand and laughed out loud.
- Yeah, there you are! And I'm waiting for you, waiting, I say that I love you, but you still don't go. I wanted to go back to the hall myself, but I couldn't find it. They say that the devil drives in circles! - the girl laughed again, and suddenly screamed, - Let's break this door! No, - May suddenly thought, - let's go home, I want to kiss you! You are so cute now! Make that face again! You look like my favorite plush toy! Well, make that face again! However, no, I changed my mind, I want another drink, will you show me to the table?
Kunqu wanted to take the girl outside, but he couldn’t do it, the girl resisted and asked the owner to take her to the hall. Finally manager Kim came running and said that the car was already waiting outside. Together they persuaded the girl, who was naughty and eager to drink, and put her in the car. When the girl was finally in her room, Kunqiu sighed freely. While we were driving home, the girl sang that Kunqu song, to which she picked up the accompaniment, and said some nonsense. Quite a lot of time had passed and it was time for her to sober up, but with every minute she only became more and more drunk.
However, when they entered the house, she said that she would go to her room herself. The artist did not object, he just sat down exhaustedly at the table and poured himself some water. Then he cautiously looked into Mrs. O's room, the girl was already in her pajamas, she was lying across the bed, laughing and talking to herself.
When she saw her master, she waved to him in greeting.
Kunqu was surprised, in front of him was now a completely different girl, friendly, cheerful, even loving. It was a pity to realize that when the morning came, the impregnable Mei would again be in front of him. Well, yes, the morning had to survive. A cheerful girl was about to go to the second round. Alcohol was freely available in this house, if the girl wanted to drink more, then the artist could not stop her.
Luckily, she got up a little and collapsed onto the bed again.
After making sure that Mei was comfortable and comfortable, the artist went up to his second floor.
Twilight was just coming into its own, but the artist decided that he needed to sleep. Tomorrow the next three-day lunar phase began, and it would be better for him to meet it fully armed. The artist woke up from the fact that he felt that he was not alone in bed. Someone slept next to him and hugged him in his sleep. Focusing, the artist saw a familiar pajama. It was in it that May was when he left her room. The girl's hand was thin and almost weightless, however, when he tried to remove this hand from himself, the girl clung to him even more tightly. After that, the artist just lay and looked at her. Dawn slowly crept into the room, but it was still quite dark. The artist closed his eyes. The beauty of the girl acted like a magnet on him, he restrained himself with great difficulty. He once again tried to move away, but suddenly he saw Mei's wide eyes. There was a pause. The man tried to say something, but the girl moved towards him again with lightning speed and kissed him.
They just overslept the three-day phase of the moon. Love, like a magnet, attracted them to each other, and did not let them move away. The hops were long gone, but Mae acted the same as she did in the restaurant after countless drinks.
This girl was a mystery. Kunqiu loved her so much that it even hurt him. And also scary. He was afraid that some more time would pass, and he would find that cold and unapproachable Mei next to him, but, fortunately, this did not happen. The three-day phase came and went, and it was necessary to return to the real world.
It seemed to Kunqiu that his life had just begun. Everything before that drunken night turned out to be unimportant. It seemed to him that all his life he had been going to this very night. Some ancient instincts woke up in him, jealousy, a desire to protect his woman from the whole world, a bestial fury that shook his body, as soon as he thought that someone could take away his May from him.
However, the world is persistently knocking halted at his door, and called on the phone. On the morning of the fourth day, he told May that today's shooting would not last long, only until 3 pm. However, May only smiled blissfully and said that she would be waiting for him in bed. The girl did not know that after these fatal words, the filming process could be stopped for a long time. The artist's hand reached for the phone, he wanted to weave something to the manager and stay at home, but with a huge effort of will he still pulled himself together. However, after that, for a long time he could not understand why, why on earth should he leave his woman and go out of the house, to people who were strangers to him in general?
The film crew was in seventh heaven. So the artist has never played before! He cried and laughed, his role was played with such feeling that the screenwriter burst into tears. The manager suggested that the artist fell in love with his co-star in the film. Kunqu was really in love, though not with his partner, and he wanted all the people around him to share his feeling.
I AM A BAD GIRL
Love bloomed red.
Mei was in love, but the more she loved her actor, the scarier she became. She knew her mission had failed!
I'm talking about cleaning, what do you think?
All month she did not touch the vacuum cleaner and other cleaning equipment.
But seriously, Mei really had a mission and the more she loved Kunqiu, the more she understood that everything was lost. She tried to remember how she lived before meeting with the actor, but she did not succeed.
That morning she decided to walk around the house.
Dust and dirt everywhere!
The girl's hands itched to do the cleaning, but there was no strength. She went to bed too late, because the light kisses suddenly turned into a heavier and hotter phase, then they chatted, then she wanted to dance the tango. She was looking for her red dress for a long time, and then they went to the dressing room to pick up a suit for the Kunqu tango.
They could not find the music, argued, then, finally, both liked the same melody and they began to dance. However, they were only enough for one dance, the bodies were so hot that it was just right to apply ice, however, this problem had a solution, and the lovers quickly took advantage of it.
Then... Then the morning came too quickly. Kunqu had a heroic dream after a night of exploits, the alarm clock could not wake him up, Mei decided to help this.
After seeing off her beloved, the girl wanted to wash the dishes, but she had no strength. She decided that she needed to get some sleep, and then when she woke up, she could think about cleaning.
But when she woke up, her lover returned.
They went to have dinner in a restaurant, then she saw a river tram leaving the shore, and immediately wanted to ride. Their choice fell on a tram for romantic dates. The tram was decorated so beautifully that it was breathtaking. The plates were made in the shape of a heart, and the dishes in them were unusually tasty. Above the tables were arches of fresh flowers, and on the screen were shots from the favorite movie of both lovers, I'm talking about the movie "Roman Holiday". While they were having dinner, and the tram was slowly moving forward, a trio of guitarists came on deck. Flamenco-style music excited and heated the blood, and the tram was still moving in its unhurried rhythm. Bored, May suddenly remembered that she had not kissed for a long time and wanted to go down into the depths of the tram. The actor slightly resisted, he did not immediately understand the idea of \u200b\u200bhis beautiful lady, but while he was thinking, the tram had already landed on the shore. The moment was lost. The bodies were again so hot that it seemed that steam was coming from them.
Kunqiu hailed a taxi, but the taxi, as luck would have it, was driving very slowly, and the man's kisses became more and more bold. As soon as the taxi pulled up to the house, the artist picked up his beautiful burden and almost ran to the front door of his house.
And today, Kunqiu hurriedly told Mei on the phone that his mother was coming to his house. Mom went with an inspection. Once every six months she made such visits, although her son was always dissatisfied with this.
Mei jumped up and tried to remove at least something.
It was impossible!
To cope with the blockages of dirt that had accumulated over the month, it took a day. And then two. Mei was sick with fear, but she tried to control herself. The girl began to think how to get out of the situation and, it seems, came up with.
She collected several buckets of water, brought them to the front door, and then spilled them. By the time mother came, it was already possible to swim in the hallway. Mother was terribly frightened when the door opened and water poured on her feet. May bowed to her mother and told her that the faucet in the kitchen had been blown off. Of course, she, May, had already called the plumbers, but while the plumbers were on their way, she had to take measures so that the water would not flood the entire area. Mother was upset, she even offered her help, but Mei courageously refused. The girl told her mother that she was young and strong and would last until the plumbers arrived. Fortunately, at that moment the artist appeared and sent my mother home. He was taken aback by how drastically Mei solved the cleaning problem, but only laughed at her resourcefulness and of course did not scold the girl.
But the girl was Both are dissatisfied.
When Kunqiu came up to kiss his Mei, she decided to turn his feelings around today in a different direction. Cleaning has begun. By midnight everything was gone. May thought that her beloved was tired and wanted to sleep, but she did not take into account one aspect. Kunqu worked hard and demanded a reward for his work. During the work, Mei sat on the throne. She asked Kunqiu to put a chair on the table so that she could see the man's muscles when he was cleaning. The wishes of the queen were fulfilled, and then it was the turn to fulfill the wishes of the king.
In general, sometimes it is useful not to clean the house for a long time.
And by the way, my mother was delighted with the endurance of the young housekeeper, her courage and courage, she liked how the girl courageously waited for the plumbers, did not get scared and did not cry.
HOW I LIVED BEFORE I MEETE YOU?
One evening, the girl told her lover that she needed a three-day vacation. Her friends came from America and she wanted to show them Seoul. She had already agreed with her grandparents that her friends would settle in the guest half of the house. And of course, Mei was going to spend the whole three days at her grandparents' house too.
The artist was rather frivolous about the decision of the girl.
What are three days, he thought? It's just a few specks of dust on the face of time."
He decided that he could easily get through this time without Mei.
However, when he returned home, he felt a whole range of feelings: boredom, jealousy, annoyance, and, most importantly, loneliness. Without Mae, the house was huge and empty. He wandered around the house and tried to remember his life before the girl burst into this life and reshaped it in her own way. He could not remember how he spent long days and nights alone, what he felt, what he thought about.
He turned the TV on and off, picked up a book, but immediately put it down. Then he went upstairs to the room under the roof to look through the telescope at the stars. A little later, looking at his watch, he was surprised to see that only two hours had passed. However, the man reminded himself that he had pride and would not give up so easily. He decided to call a friend and have a drink with him at the bar. But a friend said he had a date. He called a couple more friends, they were busy with the same thing that the first friend was busy with.
It was so insulting, everyone had dates, and only he was left alone that evening without a couple. And at that moment a thought occurred to him, which should have come immediately. He asked himself, why didn't the girl take him with her? Why didn't you want to meet your friends? And then mistress jealousy instantly clouded his mind. As soon as he thought that his girlfriend was now somewhere where there are a lot of men, where loud music sounds, and a sea of alcohol, he immediately rushed for outerwear to call a taxi and go to where his Mei was now. However, the girl's phone did not answer, and it was indecent to go to the house of her grandparents and ask where Mei is now. Thus passed the first evening.
The bed was cold, and the artist could not find the right position for the body. It was chilly and boring. And it was also extremely embarrassing. He didn't understand how a girl could be like that. How could she be silent all evening and even turn off the phone? Kunqu fell asleep very upset.
The second day of separation has begun, fortunately the artist had very important scenes in the film today, it was necessary to prepare them before the shooting began. This work took all day, almost until late in the evening. The artist really hoped that by the time he returned home, his girlfriend would already be at home. However, the house was still empty and cold. Kunqu was truly offended. Are American friends really that important to her? Even more important than him? The third day was the most difficult, five times the artist caught himself thinking that he should spit on the shooting and urgently go to the place where May's grandparents live, but he restrained himself. And only when the fourth day came, he realized that something was wrong. The actor immediately called manager Kim, and manager Kim called his grandfather. The grandfather said that the grandmother had fallen and injured her hand. All three days May was in the hospital with her grandmother, and slept there, on an armchair, next to her grandmother's bed.
When Mei returned home, the artist asked her what happened to her American friends?
The girl said that she hired a professional guide to her friends, who showed Seoul even better than she, Mei, would have shown it. Of course, the actor did not tell the girl how hard it was for him to get these three days. All that he understood, what he learned from this story, was that he would never let the girl go away from him again, not for three days, not for a day, not even for an hour.
THIS IS A MONTH AND A HALF PASSED
One day his precious girlfriend fell ill. She was dizzy and nauseous. The man was numb with fear, all sorts of horrors seemed to him. When Mae wasn't better by the third day, he almost carried her to the car. The girl was pale and even some kind of blue, that is, her skin became some kind of blue tint.
The doctors took away his precious May, and he waited in the hallway. When the doctor invited him into the office, he began to wait with fear for the verdict, what he heard seemed to him incredible. The doctor said that Mei and him, the actor Kunqiu, are having a baby. It seemed to the artist that his ears were stuffed with cotton wool, an airplane was buzzing somewhere, a doctor was saying something, and Kuntsyu strained his hearing with all his might, but could not hear at all. Finally he felt that someone was shaking him.
-Are you okay? the doctor asked
- Yes, everything is fine, - the artist tried to catch his breath, - could you repeat it again?
- Well, I repeat, the doctor smiled, - you will have a baby!
Kunqiu was overwhelmed with such delight that he wanted to fall on his knees and pray to no one knows whom.
However, when Mei was brought in, the excitement subsided. The girl looked so miserable. She felt so bad!
Kunqu stroked her all the way home and promised that everything would be fine.
He said that he dreamed about this child all his life, but it seems May did not even understand what he was talking about.
THIS CANNOT BE!
As you remember, the last chapter ended with another lucky man learning that he would soon become a father.
It seemed to Kunq that at the moment when he found out about this, the earth stopped its run for a brief moment. Everything ceased to exist in the world, only he, his adored May and their unborn child remained.
However, reality suddenly intervened, and the earth slightly accelerated its run.
- Oh, when will this poisoning pass, - May groaned, - I need to go home. Grandpa and Grandma must be worried.
“Darling,” Kunqu went up to Mei and stroked her hand, “you don’t understand, this is not poisoning. The doctor said you are pregnant.
- What nonsense, - Mei laughed, - dear, we need to change the doctor! Let's go to bed, - the girl playfully rubbed herself against her lover's shoulder, - I missed you so much this morning!
- But, my love, the doctor said! - Kunqu started, but was stopped by the cry of a girl
- No, shut up, I don't want to! May blushed and, clenching her fists, rushed to her room, “If you don’t love me anymore, I’ll go home right now!”
Kunqu awkwardly stomped in front of the room, but did not dare to enter. When the sobs subsided and silence reigned in the house, Kunqu quietly entered the room and sat on the edge of the bed. Mei was so beautiful it took his breath away. The tears were not yet dry on her beautiful face, and this face was so young that it seemed to Kunq that he had seduced a very young girl, and this made him uncomfortable.
Kissing Mei tenderly, he covered her and quietly left the room.
True, he was afraid to go far, and decided to stay in the kitchen for the time being.
He was already over forty years old, he knew and understood a lot, but the situation that happened today took him by surprise. Asking a question on a search engine, he seemed to soon figure out exactly what was going on with Mei.
May denied that she was pregnant, in a good way she should have been taken to the doctor, she needed psychological help.
And then for the first time, Kunqu thought about what would happen next.
He completely forgot that the girl has relatives, a mother, grandparents. Soon her position will become apparent, and before that moment they need to get married. Today, Kunqiu was the least worried about how the media and fans would react to his upcoming marriage. More than anything, he was worried about Mei and the baby. His family, of course, will be shocked, but they will accept Mei without talking, but the rest of the world will be hysterical. Kunqiu presented the headlines like this: "Popular actor Kunqiu's housekeeper is pregnant by her master"
Kunchu shivered. He thought he had to avoid it at all costs, not because he was afraid for his career, but because he was afraid for May. Angry fans will be ready for anything when they find out the truth.
Mei slept peacefully, and Kunqiu was afraid to go up to his bedroom, afraid to leave her alone, and so he lay down next to Mei and hugged her. The girl was no longer angry, she also hugged her man and silence reigned in the house.
However, waking up in the morning, the man did not find his beloved.
There was a note on the dining table:
"I went home, then I'll go to work. Don't be bored. And don't touch the underwear! I'll iron it myself."
Kunqiu realized that Mei continued to deny her position and was trying to live the way she lived before the doctor informed them of the impending addition of the family. A man all his life dreamed of an independent, unlike the rest of the woman. It seems that the Lord heard his prayers, but now Kunqiu had to appreciate what the Lord had sent him.
The actor decided to go to the doctor again, the doctor was a friend of his family and was in solidarity with Kunqu on the issue of secrecy about the upcoming birth of a child. May denied pregnancy, and so the doctor advised that if everything remained the same, she would need to see a psychologist, but not earlier than in a month. Now neither the mother nor the child is in danger. So Mei can now live the way she lived before. But in a month it will be necessary to do an ultrasound examination to understand whether the child is healthy, whether it is developing correctly.
In the evening, when Mei returned, Kunqiu did not return to the issue of pregnancy again. All he asked was that Mei quit her part-time job where she taught English to negligent students.
Mei objected, she said that she needed money, but Kunqiu said that he would raise her salary hello from tomorrow. Mae wanted to say that she would consider this proposal, but she again twisted. Weakness and nausea came on suddenly.
When it was all over, Kunqu wiped her beloved's face with a wet towel, she did not let herself be washed, she felt sick at the mere sight of the bathroom. Taking her in his arms, he felt how small and light she was. He cradled his beautiful burden for half the night, and then, at last, Mei fell asleep soundly.
In the morning, Kunqiu had to go to the other side of the city, there was an advertising shoot coming up, and he was afraid to leave Mei alone.
- Dear, - in the morning Mei fawned over Kuntsyu and looked into his eyes, - remember, yesterday you promised me to raise my salary?
- Yes. - Kunqiu carefully looked at Mei, - I remember. You agree?
“Actually,” Mei hesitated, “oh, it seems to be starting again!”
The girl turned pale, but, thank God, it did not come to nausea.
- So, - summed up Kuntsyu, - you sit at home, you wait until ... - The actor looked at the girl - until the poisoning is over, I take care of everything else. Call the agency where you are registered as a tutor and refuse. And I, as promised, will raise your salary.
- Well, - the girl lowered her head, - it would be over quickly, otherwise I can’t even cook. Be sick. Did the doctor give me pills for poisoning? I don't remember, it was like a fog.
- Yes. - Kunqu decided not to argue with Mei for the time being, and to do as the doctor advised. If it were his will, and if Mei accepted her pregnancy, they would urgently get married, and then many questions would disappear. - I have already bought them and now I will explain what pills and vitamins you need to drink during the day. If you drink as the doctor said, you will soon feel better. I'm afraid to leave you alone, can you handle it? Can I cancel the shoot?
- Here's another, - May laughed, - because of such trifles! No, do what you planned. And I'll go to sleep. I will sleep so that the day goes by quickly and you come back to me.
Kunqiu's heart was heavy, but he saw no other options. Until Mei accepts that she is pregnant, he cannot act.
The day dragged on endlessly. Mei did not answer, he called her thirty times, but they did not pick up the phone.
When he finally got home, he found that May was not at home, and there was a note on the table.
"Went with a friend to a nightclub. See you soon!"
Kunqu sat down, what to do now, he simply did not know. Mei's phone was still unanswered, when he entered the girl's room, he found that she had not even taken her phone with her. The phone lay empty on the floor.
IT HAPPENED TO ME
While the actor was collecting his thoughts, the director of the agency called him and said that tomorrow there would be a meeting with fans in the city of Daegu. This meeting had been planned for a long time, and it was impossible to say that the director's message sounded like a bolt from the blue. Everything was agreed and planned for a long time, only the artist could not go anywhere now. However, he, of course, did not say this to the director of the agency. Now he needed to urgently find Mei, and only then he could think about future plans. He found the addresses of nightclubs on the Internet, but he understood what would happen if he entered the club without security. Now, when the shooting of the new film was underway, there was a ban on the movements of the actor alone. The situation was stalemate, he could not go anywhere alone, but he could not not go either. The thought that Mei might hurt herself terrified him. Kunqiu changed into jeans and a hoodie, put on a baseball cap and dark glasses, and headed out the door. He did not plan anything, he decided to improvise along the way. Luckily, the door banged and Mei appeared at the door.
Entering the house, Mei looked at the actor with eyes full of horror for several minutes, and then staggered and fell.
Kunqu rushed towards her.
When the girl came to her senses, she clung to the man and pulled him to her.
"I'm pregnant," she whispered in his ear.
- Yes, - Kuntsyu hugged her, - have you finally come to terms with this?
- With what? - the girl was surprised
- Because she's pregnant!
- No, I don't believe it, but my friend told me! I felt bad at the club, and she told me... Imagine, I prove to her that it was poisoning, and she tells me that I'm pregnant. A friend said the poisoning couldn't last that long. And I told her...
Mei's voice trailed off.
- What? - said Kunzu.
- In general, I almost beat her! She was saved only by the fact that I again became ill. And here I am now...
Darling, what do we do now?
- We'll get married and have a baby! That's all.
- No, It is Immpossible! What if someone finds out? What about your fans? What about my relatives? What about your mother and father? Lord, what to do?
- Take it easy. I'm nearby.
- Or maybe ... Maybe an abortion?
- What?!!!
Kunqu was so startled that his vision went dark. Now it was time for Mei to pump out the actor.
However, Mei immediately abandoned the idea of an abortion, she looked at the actor with eyes full of tears and seemed not even to hear what Kunqiu was saying. - Everything is fine. We will overcome everything together, - the man tried to calm the girl, but again she did not hear him.
“I will go to America,” the girl suddenly said after a pause, “and give birth to a child there.”
- And what about me? - zas the actor laughed, - will you leave alone? Will you leave me here?
- Yes, - the girl looked around in bewilderment. - This will not work. I can't live without you. How will I live without you? I can't breathe without you. And if I can't breathe, then the baby can't either! May felt for the first time in her life that she would actually have a baby. She stroked her still flat stomach and said, - baby, do you want me to sing you a song that your dad sings?
And Mei quietly sang the Kunqiu song.
The actor was so shocked by the abrupt transition from complete denial to complete acceptance that he simply remained silent for several minutes. He was speechless and had tears in his eyes! Taking a deep breath, he cautiously asked:
- And why did you call the child baby?
Because we're having a girl! She will be the most beautiful and the happiest!
- Good. So be it, - with a blissful smile, the man could only whisper.
For some reason, he and May switched to a whisper.
BLIND DATE AGAIN
They called from an agency that organizes blind dates and was reminded that tomorrow the artist will have to go on such a date. The artist was supposed to go on this date two months ago, but moved it to tomorrow's date. If only Kunqiu knew that in these two months his life would change so much! But there was nothing to do, if he refused today's date, his mother would immediately know about it. Firstly, she would be very upset, and secondly, she would ask uncomfortable questions, and therefore the artist decided to still go on this date.
In South Korea, young people take blind dates quite easily; girls and boys sometimes go on these dates collectively, in companies of five or ten people. Such dates go with a bang at a young age, they go especially well in a cafe, with cheerful music that sounds in the background.
All this, as you know, on a blind date, where the artist went, was not supposed. Kunqiu did not tell Mei anything about where he was going. He did not want to excite the girl, he knew how she felt about such dates.
And yet, of course, he understood that the situation was wrong, but did not want to worry his mother. In addition, he was sure that he was participating in this event just for show, to be left behind. He knew that no matter how beautiful the girl who came on a date, she would not be able to take a place in Kunqu's heart, because only Mei was in his heart now. In general, he treated the date as an unpleasant job to be done and forgotten.
And now Kuntsyu found himself in a familiar place. The man understood that he had come here for the last time. And therefore, his task was to get out of the situation in which he found himself thanks to the care of his mother as worthily as possible.
He immediately did not like the voice of the girl who came on a date with him. The girl's voice first dropped to a whisper, then rose to such heights that he wanted to close his ears. The girl did not answer the questions that the man asked, but she talked a lot and at length about something of her own. The artist already wanted to end the date, when suddenly the girl fell silent, and then screamed at the whole meeting room.
- Oh, I know you! I know your voice. I recognize him! Just yesterday, my friend and I watched a drama where you are the main character. Ah, I love you! Let's go, we'll tell the agency right away that we've found each other!
- You are mistaken, - anticipating the bad, the artist said, - I am not an actor, I work in a different field.
- No, - the girl squealed, - it's you! Just try to refuse! I'll get you out of the ground. You are my! Just yesterday, my friend and I got into a fight when she said that she was prettier than me and that she would definitely marry you. And now, what a coincidence, today I met with you, and I will not refuse this chance for anything, do not even hope. And if it's not you, then show yourself, prove to me that your name is different.
Realizing that the situation was out of control, the man simply hurried out of the room. The girl shouted something after him, but he did not hear it. The administrator quickly realized what was happening, probably such cases were not uncommon here, and therefore, less than five minutes had passed, as the artist was already returning home. Already driving away from the building where the date was held, it seemed to him that a girl was chasing his car. Luckily, she couldn't see who was in the car. The car windows were tinted. The artist was seriously annoyed, although, on reflection, he realized that the administration was not to blame for anything. When he was already at home, his mother called him. Later, the man regretted that he could not restrain himself, and the mother was very upset. He told his mother everything without concealment and said that he would not go on such dates again. After that, he turned off his phone.
WEDDING
It made no sense to hide what was happening, and soon both families were informed that Kunqiu and Mei intended to get married. Let's leave out the shock that both families experienced when they found out that not only the wedding, but also the birth of a baby awaits them ahead. However, Kunqiu's parents were happier with this outcome than Mei's grandparents. The elders were responsible for the granddaughter in front of Mae's mother and were worried that mom would be shocked! They even tried to call her, but Mae's mom hasn't been available lately, May's stepdad was touring somewhere in the wilds of Malaysia, and her mom, as always, followed him.
Kunqiu's mother suggested that the lovers move in with them for a while, because Mei was left alone in the house all day, but the artist gently rejected this offer. After some time, grandparents also accepted the upcoming marriage of their granddaughter, and the whole large family began to prepare for the holiday. This time was the happiest time for this man and woman! There was no longer any need to hide anything from others or from ourselves. Love woke up every morning in this house. However, the girl was still worried about the fact that when everything was revealed, there would be a big scandal, there would be threats from the fans. The artist was sure that there were no people in his family who would talk about the upcoming wedding, but just in case, he strengthened security measures. Immediately after the wedding, the newlyweds planned to fly to Los Angeles. After that, and May insisted on this, the artist had to return to South Korea alone, and then fly to America closer to the birth. The whole family resisted this decision, but the girl reminded everyone present of the dirty scandal that fans made last year to other newlyweds, the artist, colleague Kunqiu, and his wife, when they dared to get married in defiance of the fans. This news did not leave the news sites for several months. After considering all the pros and cons, the relatives were forced to agree with May, especially since distant relatives of May and her friends lived in Los Angeles.
So, wedding.
Kunqiu's love and care was present in every moment of this wedding, but the apotheosis of the wedding was the song, that beautiful song that Mei had once picked up the accompaniment to. The dome of the building in which the wedding took place suddenly lit up, because the shutters parted like a flower. The rays of the sun illuminated the bride, who was so beautiful that it took her breath away. And then the beam of light moved to the newlywed man. Kunqu sat at the piano, he played and sang for his beautiful girlfriend. But he was especially happy that not only Mei and everyone present heard this song, he was sure that the song that dad sings is now heard by his child, his little daughter. He believed with all his heart to his precious May that they would have a daughter.
After they exchanged rings and swore eternal love, fireworks suddenly started. When it ended, diamond hearts descended on tiny parachutes into the hands of everyone who came to the ceremony. They were real diamonds, only very tiny. People laughed and caught parachutes, and at that time the curtain slowly opened on the stage, and there, behind the curtain ... jets of water beat up, butterflies fluttered, and the air was suddenly filled with the smell of flowers. When the dome over the heads of the lovers opened completely, then every drop from the fountain of love became visible in the sun's rays. The drops sparkled like a jewel and created a mood of delight.
After the ceremony came to an end and the newlyweds joined hands to step into a new life together, all the side doors swung open at once and many children in white clothes ran into the hall and formed a living corridor. Each child had a basket in their hands. The newlyweds walked among the children, and the children threw flower petals at the feet of the newlyweds.
This was impossible to forget!
Kunqiu's love rushed out and painted everything he touched. It seemed that if given the opportunity, he would put his heart at Mei's feet, and not just flower petals.
HONEYMOON
Los Angeles.
The man seemed to be born again. In this city, in this country, he could live and breathe freely, of course, it would never have occurred to him to stay here forever, but as a rest from the eternal flashes of cameras, from secrets, from moving around the city, always accompanied by guards - this is It was a great opportunity to feel free. All twenty-four hours a day, his beautiful woman was next to him. They did not bother each other, on the contrary, it seemed to him that he could not get enough of this beautiful soulmate of his. Everything she talked about, everything she thought about, even what she was hiding from him at the moment, was important to him. He understood that lovers cannot and should not tell each other everything, but still he wanted his woman to be more frank and open with him. He felt that his wife had a secret. Several times he even tried to open the canopy of this secret, but Mei said that her secrets are like a secret room in Bluebeard's castle. If her man still gets into this room, they will have to sacrifice their love.
After these words, Mei laughed, said that she was joking, and asked Kunqiu not to make such a serious face.
In general, the husband realized that his wife has a secret that she does not want to reveal. In the end, he resigned himself to this, and told his precious woman that if she kept a secret that she wanted to keep for her own benefit uh, he's trying to reconcile.
They woke up late, after a run the one who was in the mood that morning cooked, if no one was in the mood, they went to have breakfast in a cafe around the corner. And then the day slowly began to unfold in front of a couple in love. The sea was roaring five steps from the house where our lovers settled, the actor was surfing, and his woman was reading a book in the shade on how to be happy. She understood that it was simply impossible to become happier than they were now, but deep down she was a little afraid for her happiness and thought about how to protect him if someone encroached on her beautiful man.
In general, May thought and thought about how to remain always desired and loved for a loved one. Nausea, as well as dizziness, are a thing of the past. Mei blossomed and became even more beautiful. The desire of her man was that the beauty of his woman bloomed only for him, but he understood that this was not possible. Her husband's jealous gaze often rested on the male passers-by who couldn't take their eyes off this beauty, the beauty of his Mei.
Of course, his wife was in a position, but, firstly, in this country, where there were a lot of magnificent and beautiful women, all her fullness was not very conspicuous yet, and secondly, as it does not sound incredible, but with Mei grew prettier every week of her pregnancy.
The honeymoon was coming to an end, the actor was waiting for business, waiting for the shooting of a new film. When only a few days remained before the separation, the actor suddenly opposed the decision of his wife. The man said that he did not want to live in a house where his precious Mei would not be. Of course, he understood that his beloved woman would not be alone here, May introduced him to relatives and friends. The apartment he rented for her was five minutes from the hospital where she was due to give birth. In the event that childbirth begins and there is no one next to Mei, then she will be able to walk to the hospital even on foot.
In general, Kunqu seemed to have foreseen everything, but he did not think that he would be so bad, morally and physically, when he returned home alone. Every thing reminded him of his wife, even though she had not lived in this house for so long. Until filming began, he called his dear beauty every hour.
Mei never got tired and never capricious because her husband tortured her with his control, on the contrary, when one hour and a half passed, then two, and there was still no call from her husband, Mei was frightened and started calling herself.
These two were made for each other, and it seemed that there was nothing in the world that could separate them. The house Mei now lived in was new, just recently built. Behind the house was a beautiful garden, in the shade of which the woman spent all her days. The sea bored her as soon as her lover left her. To be honest, she, of course, felt bad alone. My husband called ten times a day, in the evening they chatted for a long time via video link, but still it was not the same. She lacked the warmth and care with which, like a warm blanket, her husband enveloped her with his love.
Mei did not rebel against the outcome of the decision she herself had made. She patiently endured loneliness, for the sake of that happy future that lay ahead of her.
One day she had a dream, she dreamed that she was climbing the highest mountain in the world, as part of a group of climbers. The path is long and endless. The load presses on her back, and the wind and snowflakes cut her face. In a dream, a woman tried to find her husband's face among those who walked nearby, but she never found it. The wind howled and cried, the plaintive howl of the wind was like the cry of a baby. In the dream, Mei listened to this crying and cried herself. Waking up in the morning from the call of her beloved husband, she found that her face was wet with tears. After laughing at her stupid dream, Mei nevertheless wrote it down in her diary. From the moment her father died, she wrote down all her strange dreams in a notebook. The mother was against it and often made fun of her, reading dreams written in uneven letters in her daughter's diary. If Mae's father were alive, he would have understood her desire to bring a piece of memory from her dream into the day, but her mother never understood this.
Mom was a very rational person.
Speaking of mom, tomorrow she flew to Los Angeles to see her daughter after a long separation. Mom was glad that her daughter married a famous person, but was in no hurry to get to know him.
In general, it seemed that my mother was only interested in what was connected with her current husband. Mei did not judge her, she was like her mother in these qualities. Mei was also devoted to her husband and was interested in every little thing that made up her husband's day and night. The day slowly moved forward, and Mei still could not forget her dream. She still couldn't forget the feeling of unease that gripped her just before she woke up. In her dream, one of the climbers gave her a red walkie-talkie to listen to breaking news. There was anxiety on the climber's face, it seemed that just about, a little more, May would find out what was the matter, but at that moment, as I said, her husband's call woke her up. And she woke up .
MAY WAS RIGHT
Somehow information was leaked to the press that Kunqiu got married. Reporters were on duty near the actor's house day and night. And here the man realized that now he will always trust the intuition of his wife. May seemed to have foreseen the hysteria that was unfolding around the actor's life now. Someone even sniffed out that Kunqiu married his housekeeper. The man thanked God for the fact that his wife is now far from here. If the woman were in Korea right now, she would be in physical danger at the hands of female fans. Fortunately, everything was not so tragic, because none of the journalists knew where May was now.
Gradually, everything returned to normal, the journalists switched to another victim, and readers and viewers did not receive significant confirmation that their favorite actor was married.
Kunqu had no intention of keeping his marriage a secret.
He was waiting for the baby to be born and for his wife to return to Korea. After that, he wanted to organize a press conference and tell everything himself. But of course, it was too early to do it now. The baby was not yet born, and Mei was far from her homeland. The actor stepped up security measures and asked the director of the agency to check on everyone who works at the agency.
There were two months left before the birth, when the actor received a note.
The note read: “I know everything - it was you! You can't hide from me, you are mine. She's not worth you and that's why she'll die"
Everything was very bad, the actor did not like such stories, but this was the cost of his work. When he was younger, he received such letters in batches. But this situation was different in that the note mentioned his wife. The note also contained a threat. Someone hated his wife so much that he threatened her with death. The police did not find anyone, there were prints on the note, but they were not registered in the database. The note was simply thrown into the mailbox. The actor did not tell May about this, but she herself found out about it. Someone in the police blabbed about this story, and journalists - vultures again flocked to the actor's house. The information got into the news media, and therefore the actor did not deny the obvious when Mei called. The woman's voice was calm, but still the actor preferred that his woman did not know all this.
There was a week left until the reunion with his wife. As the couple planned, a month before the birth of the baby, the actor was going to fly to Los Angeles.
ACCIDENT ON THE AIRCRAFT
Mei was already waiting for her beloved, but Kunqiu's plane could not take off, the passengers whispered that the plane was booby-trapped. Passengers were urgently evacuated. The airport administration spent a long time checking the lists of passengers in order to understand who could have carried explosives on the plane. The actor, along with the passengers, was waiting in the airport lounge for the moment when they would finally deal with this situation, when they announced on the speakerphone that the passengers of his flight were waiting in the second terminal. The landing began, the airport authorities were especially attentive to all the details, and the landing stretched out for two hours. However, the passengers did not complain, they knew that the authorities were concerned about their safety. Kunqu said goodbye to manager Kim, who was forced to return due to Kunqiu being unable to fly.
But the troubles did not end there either, as soon as the plane began to taxi to the runway, an order came from the flight control center that the plane stopped, because the passengers would have to return to the terminal again. There was a rumor that the flight was being delayed due to the fact that another high-ranking passenger was to join the passengers. The passenger was running late and that's why all this explosive turmoil was initiated. Like it or not, the man did not know, of course, that no one told him that the flight was delayed due to the fact that explosives were found in the cabin - this was unofficial information that passengers shared in a whisper with each other. The actor doubted very much that the flight was delayed precisely because of this. But the new version, which was passed from mouth to mouth between passengers, also did not look like the truth.
The plane took off an hour later. When they were told to turn off their phones and fasten their seat belts on the speakerphone, the actor wrote to May that they would meet soon and turned off the phone. The plane landed, the passengers left the airport, but the unpleasant surprises for the actor did not end there.
Someone told reporters that South Korean actor Kunqiu should take this flight. The actor was quite popular all over the world, but in America his popularity was not so high.
His previous visits to America had been uneventful, and therefore Kunqu was not very happy now with the reception he received from American journalists. Without answering any questions, he hurriedly went to where those who met him were waiting.
GIRL
May was right, the couple really had to have a girl. The ultrasound confirmed the mother's suspicions. After the artist returned to his woman, the whole world ceased to exist for him. All the phones were turned off, now only the two of them are left in the whole world. That is, what happened was what the actor dreamed of for so long. azluke. The man got the ultrasound result countless times. Of course, Mei had sent him the ultrasound picture over the phone a long time ago, but Kunqiu just couldn't get enough of the original right now. Finally May got tired of it, she took the result of the ultrasound and put it in the drawer of the nightstand.
- Enough, - the woman laughed, - soon the baby will be born and you will see her in reality, and not in the photo. In the meantime, let's go to the bedroom and I'll tell you about how long I've been waiting for you.
Of course, the actor could not refuse this offer.
Everything was the same as on the honeymoon, except that Mae couldn't stay in one position for long now. She couldn't sleep, she couldn't sit, her back was aching, there were many other annoying little things, but the woman only frowned and laughed. This does not mean that the actor sat next to her all day long. The beach, the sea and the sun were all for him. Kunqiu was a sea god, and Mei sat under the visor of her umbrella and enjoyed the beautiful body of her tall sea god. She also loved to swim very much, and it was very easy for her to imagine that in three or four years they would be able to swim in the waters of this sea all three of them, he, she and their baby.
There was very little time left before the birth, when in the morning, going out onto the porch of the house, Mei saw a letter. Suspecting nothing, she picked up the paper, unfolded it, and froze. The letter contained threats, threatened to kill her and the baby. The woman turned white, she did not know what to do, there was a ringing in her head and it became empty. In this state, the actor found her. The police arrived, there was a lot of ado about nothing, as a result, no one and nothing was found, and they left home.
The actor urgently changed the apartment. The apartment was uncomfortable and far from the sea, but these drastic measures did not help, the next morning a letter with threats came again, but to a new address. The man changed his apartment agency and they moved into a third apartment. Mei was terrible to look at, she was haggard and not feeling well. The artist did not care about all sorts of scandals and speculation, he would like to take his beloved home. In Korea, there were also many excellent clinics where their baby could be born, but the fact was that at such a time a woman simply could not fly on an airplane. The airlines simply wouldn't let her on board. That day, the man suddenly discovered that their refrigerator was empty and was about to go to the store. Mei followed him, citing the fact that, despite her poor condition, she needed to walk. In fact, she was simply afraid to be alone at home. Kunzyu understood her. They walked, hugging, from time to time he turned May to him and kissed. The woman's heart melted from these kisses, her cheeks turned pink, and her eyes shone. They approached the crossing, the traffic light turned green, the couple took only a few steps, when suddenly Mae saw a car rushing towards them. She managed to react, her strength suddenly increased and she pushed her husband onto the sidewalk. Then there was the sound of a blow. A woman woke up in the hospital, it seemed to her that this was not her first awakening in this ward, but she was not sure of anything. The doctor said that the woman's husband was not injured and that he would soon visit her in the ward. Running her hand over her stomach, Mei found that her stomach had become flat. The husband was gone for a long time, as he explained later, he was in the police. When he arrived, Mei sat up in bed and looked at him. She knew something terrible had happened, but she was afraid to ask. The husband was sitting on a chair with his head bowed. When he raised his head, she saw tears in his eyes. Mei was unconscious for several days when the labor began, she was put into an artificial sleep. The girl was born, but died a few hours later, the doctor said. May was silent, it seemed to her that her vocal cords were numb, and she would never be able to speak again. Tears streamed down her beautiful face. Her husband came to hug her, but she pushed him away. She already knew what had happened. The cause of the accident was a crazy fan who recognized Kunqiu on a blind date. The girl was the daughter of very wealthy parents. Parents could not refuse anything to their only daughter. The girl could not track down the artist for a long time. She followed him, but the security measures at the Kunqiu agency were very strong. Finally, finding a weak link, she bribed one of the workers and found out that the artist was flying to Los Angeles.
Unfortunately, she did not know the exact flight, even the agency employee himself did not possess this information, hence all the misunderstandings with the flight delay. The girl's family owned a lot of money, and where there is money, there are great opportunities. The girl gave away a lot of money, but she got her way, she knew exactly which flight the artist was flying on. Moreover, she flew with him in the same plane. The journalists were informed about the arrival of the artist in Los Angeles, this was also the work of a crazy fan. Tracking the artist when he was driving to his wife from the airport was generally a trifling matter.
Mrs. Park, that was the name of the crazy fan, was an artist. The girl was driving a car and shouting: “So don’t get it to anyone!”. The fact that the man survived was the merit of his wife. Mrs. Park I didn't expect things to turn out like this. Now she was in prison, it terribly infuriated her, she raged and knocked on the bars of the cell, demanding to release her. However, she soon calmed down and sat in the cell with an enigmatic smile.
"I don't understand," May suddenly whispered.
-What do not you understand? - the voice did not obey the artist
- I heard the baby crying.
- This cannot be, - the artist suffered, but tried to speak firmly, - you had an artificial dream.
- I heard her crying. I was here, in the ward, alone. Her bed was on this side. They even put it on my chest.
- This is ... - the artist gasped, - what are you talking about? The doctor said that the baby ... In general, she was gone a few hours after giving birth.
"It was just as I say," May repeated lifelessly. However, you can trust anyone. Leave.
-Not. Wait. I…
- We'll talk when I get home. I want... Yes, we don't have a house. Return the rent, rent again that house by the sea where I was waiting for you. I will live there alone and I will believe that nothing happened, I will believe that my girl is about to be born.
-What are you saying? May, wait, wait, I mean...
-Get out of here! Go to that fan like her there, Ms. Park, and ask her to return our daughter to us. Leave!
May screamed and fought with her whole body, a doctor came running, the woman was given an injection and she calmed down.
Kunchu left the room. He stood and cried. He understood that he was guilty of something, but could not understand what, but the words of his wife gave rise to doubts in him. To make sure she was right, the artist demanded a meeting with a doctor. The doctor confirmed the original version. The nurse brought documents confirming that everything was as the doctor says. However, when the artist said that he would like to bury the baby, the doctor hesitated and said that the cremation had already passed.
May was released from the hospital a week later. Kunqu did as she asked. He rented that house near the sea again. They did not have time to hand it over to other people, even the furniture and wallpaper in it remained the same. May entered the house, looked around him and grimaced.
-It is not clean enough. When the baby is at home, it will be necessary to do a general cleaning.
- May, listen, - the artist was afraid to argue with his wife, but still could not bear what she was saying.
- I will not listen to you, - the woman suddenly laughed, - I will sing, and the baby will be born as musical as me and you! She will sing! She will love you even more than me! You will see! She will love listening to you sing for hours! You will rehearse, and she will sit quietly and listen. The love of a child has no limits, you will soon find out!
Kunqu could no longer bear this. He ran out of the house and sat on the sand. Sobs shook his body. When he returned, Mei was asleep. From now on, she only ate and slept, as if she really continued to prepare for childbirth. But when the artist said that they were returning to Korea and he had already bought tickets, she suddenly came to her senses.
-Leave. There was metal in her voice. It seemed to the artist as if he had returned at a time when the girl had just come to work for him.
- No, we're going together. You are my wife and we will get through everything together.
-I don't want. One lie leads to another. You lied to me, or rather, didn't tell me that you were going on a blind date, and here's the result. I am also guilty before you, I lied to you, and what happened is my punishment! Now I'm going to the bedroom, but you won't follow me. We will never sleep together again.
MOTHER'S HEART
Evening has come. The sea roared outside the walls of the house, and its monotonous sound promised that everything would be fine, that there was still hope that everything would change. Mei went into the living room and sat on the sofa, Kunqiu approached her
"I think it's time to talk," Mei brushed his hair away from his face and Kunqiu spoke softly, "please listen to me." Even if it's hard for you to listen, still, please listen.
- Well, - the woman agreed, - I will listen to you without interrupting.
- When I agreed to a blind date, I did not think that this date would bring such tragic consequences. Yes, I behaved like a coward, I did not want to argue with my mother, and I decided to go on this last date so that my mother would be pleased. But you know that by that moment in my heart there was already only you. A little earlier, you took the idea of such a date lightly, even prepared a suit for me, and therefore I just didn’t think that the truth that you learned now would be so bitter for you. Why don't you answer? Hit me, yell at me, but please don't be silent and don't look at me with those eyes.
- I promised that I would be silent, that I would listen to you, because, as you know, I always keep my promises. Continue.
- I'm almost done talking. You do understand that meeting this fan, whatever it is, Mrs. Pak, was only a fatal accident. I sent you here to America so that you can live in peace until our baby girl is born, I took you away from trouble, but trouble followed me from Korea. Please forgive me. Let's go home, let's go back to Korea, I'll try to make you forget everything. Of course, this will not happen immediately, but I will try very hard.
- No, I'm staying here, I know that my girl is here, she is in this city. I can feel it, you won't believe me, of course, but sometimes I hear her crying and my breasts start to ooze milk.
I believe you, but this cannot go on. I have to go home, and without you I can't do it.
- I want to divorce you. Then it will be easy for you to go back.
- No, not just that. Okay, stay here, I'll fly home, but in a few months I'll be back with you.
- Okay. Now let's go buy some flowers.
The actor did not ask questions, he felt that even when the words of his wife give away madness, this madness has its own rational grain. Therefore, now, when his wife said that he needed to buy flowers, he obeyed without question. The flowers were tender and had drops of water on their petals. The hands of the husband and wife reached out to this particular bouquet, and they bought it. After that, Mei took the actor by the arm and led him. They did not walk for very long, when the actor saw the fatal crossroads, he understood everything. The woman took the flowers from the actor's hands and placed them on the thin strip separating the sidewalk from the road.
- I know that my daughter is alive, but you also have a right to your faith. You believe that the baby has died, and therefore, together with you, since we are her mom and dad, we brought flowers here. I will live in this place, I mean Los Angeles, for nine months, and every month I will bring flowers here. And then I'll leave here.
- Will you return home to Korea?
- No, I will never go back there, I want to forget everything, like a bad dream.
- What about me, you don't love me anymore?
- Precisely because I love you, I want to let you go. Now I just want to sleep, but tomorrow, when you come to me, I will tell you everything, and you will listen to me as attentively as I listened to you. I am also guilty before you, so I have no right to judge you.
- Whatever you decide, you should know - you are the whole world for me, without you I don’t want to wake up or fall asleep. Have you ever seen a moment when there is a performance in the theater and a ray of light falls on the actor and highlights only him? The whole scene is dark and only the actor is standing in a beam of light, that's how I see you now. I am the ray that shines on you, and in my light only you, there is no one else in the world.
- I know it, I feel it too. Only in my feelings, I am the beam, and you are the object, the only object, the only person that I love.
"But then why are you?" Why do you want to leave me?
- Let me go, I'll tell you everything tomorrow. And today I'm out of energy. But you should know, if everything happened again, I would do the same, because you are the whole meaning of life for me. I did not think then, and was not responsible for my actions. I pushed you away, hoping for a continuation of life with you, and not for the end of it. I am guilty before our girl, but then I could not do otherwise.
IT WAS RAINING
It was raining outside. Kunqu brought his wife breakfast in bed, but she turned away and said she wouldn't eat.
The wife's bedroom was decorated with cheerful, yellow-orange wallpaper, even on the most rainy day it seemed that there was a lot of sun in the room. The wallpaper was designer, the husband spent a lot of time in the design office before finally choosing what he thought was the right wallpaper for his adored wife's room.
Mei lay with her face turned to the wall, Kunqu sat in a chair and waited for her to finally change her anger to mercy. He knew that his wife loved him, but he still felt uncomfortable in a room where he was not invited. Hour after hour passed, and Mei slept on.
Finally she opened her eyes, got up in bed and said
- I remember evrything.
- What are you talking about, dear?
- Are you waiting for me to start repenting before you?
- No, I'm not expecting anything, I'm just admiring you.
- I'll be fine in half an hour. Until then, leave.
The artist did not argue with his wife, he appreciated the fragile peace that had been established between them and was very afraid that his wife would completely withdraw into herself and stop talking to him.
Even in such a difficult state, the wife remained true to herself, after half an hour she was sitting on the sofa in the living room and looking at her husband.
- How do you feel today, dear? - asked the actor
"Don't be so polite," May suddenly laughed, "I know what you're thinking."
The actor often caught himself thinking that his wife is a unique person. He was amazed and attracted by her transitions, her instantaneous transitions from complete sadness to a state of happiness. She could be rude, but in that rudeness she could find a place and a time to affectionately draw her husband to her. She could be cheerful, but suddenly, through tears of happiness, start crying. It was the same with sadness, when it seemed that the whole world was immersed in rain and tears, she could start laughing contagiously.
Sometimes he did not understand his wife at all, but this also attracted him with unimaginable strength.
However, now he still thought that she was laughing a little insincerely. It seemed to him that his wife was preparing for something, he was afraid of what he would hear, and yet he was thirsty gave this revelation.
"Me," Mei wanted to say something, but Kunqiu interrupted her.
"You must eat," he said, and took her hand. - Look, I set the table for you, here are all the dishes that you love! I will listen to you as much as you want. We have a lot of time, so please, before you start your story, eat.
May liked the offer, it was clear that she was still gathering her thoughts and gathering courage to tell her husband everything. The artist understood that even if he refused the revelations of his wife, she would still make him listen. Such was May's character, if she planned something, she would definitely carry it out.
But the woman ate with great appetite. During breakfast, she chatted about meaningless things, that autumn was coming, that, unfortunately, today you can’t swim in the sea, that she didn’t like dinner at the Italian restaurant where they were before she was born. baby. Finally breakfast was over, Mei dabbed her lips and said.
- I have always dreamed of climbing one of the highest mountains in the world.
Probably, when my pain subsides, I will go to Japan and try to climb Mount Fuji.
- All right, dear, do as you wish! Will you take me with you?
“Everything will depend on you, dear,” Mei began to flirt and caress her husband, but suddenly froze, it seemed to the actor that someone came up and ran his hand over his wife’s face, and now a completely different woman was sitting in front of him.
- What? Are you okay? - the man looked around. - Did you see something through the window?
- Not. I remembered... I want to tell you something. Let's get this over with.
- But, I see that you can't collect your thoughts, if you don't want to, then don't force yourself. We have an eternity in front of us, you can talk about what worries you, in a week or in a month, or in ten years, or you can not tell at all. No matter what you tell me, I won't change my mind about you. I know what you are. And what happened before meeting me does not bother me.
- What are you talking about? Mei looked at her husband in disbelief.
- Do you want to talk about your boyfriend? About the one you had before you met me?
- What? - Mei laughed, - Do you understand that?
- Yes.
- If only it were that easy. I told and forgot.
- Well, - the man began to worry, it seemed to him that his throat was filled with a ball, he tried to catch his breath, swallow, but he did not succeed. Knowing the nature of his wife, her truthfulness, and the ability to talk about intimate things simply and frankly, he was frightened. - Speak.
- Wow, are you even ready to listen to this?
- Yes. Don't mock me, speak up.
- Well, then I'll start, - the woman suddenly fell silent and looked at her husband.
- What is it? - the man's voice became hoarse, his heart rose in his throat and beat with violent force.
- Nothing, - the woman stopped laughing, - it seemed to me that I saw you for the first time. Now you want me to tell you everything? Are you already asking me to postpone this story for a month, a year, ten years?
- Not.
- I'm sorry, but I will upset you, I did not have a boyfriend before you, and you will not hear intimate details about my life with him.
- What are you saying? I meant completely different.
- Do you think that only you know me thoroughly? I want to upset you, I also know you and understand your feelings. Now you were ready to listen to all my dirtiest secrets and forgive me.
- No you're wrong.
- Okay, I'm glad I was wrong. Well, still, even though you gave me a loophole, gave me an escape route, I'll tell you everything.
GIRLFRIEND
The actor tried to say something else, but his wife raised her hand - it was a sign to stop.
"Come here," Mei patted her knee, "lay down comfortably and listen, I don't want you to look into my eyes while I'm talking." So you can even listen with your eyes closed.
- Good. - Kuntsyu smiled, - I like this beginning. I will be warm and comfortable, why not listen!!!
- It all started at the moment when my stepfather began to pester me. I was 17 years old, I was in high school. My stepfather is not Korean, he came to Korea with his parents from some Latin American country when he was little. Parents, who realized that their son was talented, made every effort to teach him to be a pianist. My stepfather is eight years younger than my mother. Father left mother a lot of money and therefore a new union with a young man was mutually beneficial. Mom had money, stepfather had beauty, youth and talent. Relatives tried to dissuade my mother, but it was useless. The case ended in marriage. My grandparents asked that my mother at least leave me to them so that I could stay in Korea, but my mother did not agree to this either.
We left. I changed school after school. My stepfather toured all over the world. So ten years passed. Mom could not work, but she was bored and she organized her stepfather's concerts, was his manager.
On that day, she left just on this issue, on the issue of the upcoming tour. My stepfather woke up late, I was sitting in the living room and doing my homework, when he came up, hugged me and kissed me. Thu about that?
- I cant. I need to go outside and catch my breath.
- Yes, you are a weakling, my dear, I have not told anything yet, but you can no longer listen!
- And what, there will be something more disgusting? - Kunqu turned pale
No, fortunately it won't. I broke free and ran away. I ran and cried. Back and lips burned. He kissed me on the neck, on the lips and hugged my shoulders. These places burned and itched now, as if they had been smeared with a burning ointment. I did not understand where I was running and that day a big trouble could happen.
There was a red light, but I did not notice it and ran to the crossing. A young teacher stopped me. We just moved then, I just went to a new school and I don't even remember the name of this teacher yet. She asked what happened to me, and I burst into tears and could not calm down for a long time. The teacher had only recently started teaching at this school, and therefore, just like me, she felt uncomfortable. After she saved me, we became friends. She was like an older sister to me. She didn't like it when I called her teacher, so I started calling her by her first name, although in Korea it's not customary to call older people by their first names. However, I was, as it were, a foreigner, and these rules did not concern me. Moreover, the teacher was so young and defenseless, and did not look her age. When we were around, people considered us sisters. So, I got a girlfriend.
It was my Korean period, we returned then to Seoul and lived in our old apartment. Before that, we lived in Hong Kong, where my stepfather's tours were a huge success. Mom was worried that her stepfather, who was popular in Japan and China, was not well known in Korea.
The teacher saved me that day. I did not return home that night. I slept with her. The next day, without going into details, I announced that I would live with relatives on my father's side. I knew how much my mother loves my stepfather and was not going to become a stumbling block.
I don't know if it seemed to me or not, but I saw relief in my mother's eyes. It seems to me that my mother knew about everything, because my stepfather's attraction to me was not born in one day. Minor signs of attention, some touches, some unusual light in the eyes - probably, my mother saw all this, but did not dare to talk to her stepfather.
Stepfather took decisive action only on that first and only time.
In general, no one was hurt.
And the teacher became my friend, became closer to me than my sister.
- What about your stepfather? - Kunqiu could no longer lie still, he jumped up and walked around the living room.
- Calm down, I never stayed alone with my stepfather.
- Oh, - the artist sat down at the feet of his wife and closed his eyes with his palms. - You, this, did not dare to tell me?
- And this too, but the whole story is yet to come.
- You said that you never stayed alone with your stepfather again, was there still a continuation?
- Not. But the story will now be about something else, I want to tell you about my friend.
- My God, well, of course, tell me, I thought ... You have no idea how happy I am that you then ran away from your stepfather!
- Well, dear, I continue my story. However, I do not think that you will be as calm and happy when I finish it.
Oh hye young
- My friend's name was Oh Hae Young, does that name remind you of anything?
- Yes, - after a little silence, the artist answered, - I had a friend in childhood with the same name. This is a common name in Korea. We met her when we were still very young, a dog attacked her, I drove this dog away with stones. Then we became friends. I also had a friend Wang, so the three of us were friends. This friendship lasted for a long time, even though Oh Hae Young and I went to different schools, but after school we were inseparable. We continued to be friends even after graduation.
I remember when we were very young, a friend wanted us to get married when we grew up. I didn't mind, but time put everything in its place. Why are you asking?
- My girlfriend, as you already know, was also called Oh Hae Young, and it was the same girl with whom you were friends in childhood.
- You... It can't be! Did you want to tell me about her?
- Yes. South Korea is a small country and the world is so small. The moment she saved me, it turns out she was also your girlfriend. After the incident when she saved me, I studied at this school for some more time. Then I was forced to go to America. So my mother decided. I went to study in America, and did not see my friend for several years. One day I came to my grandparents' house for the holidays. I just unpacked my things and rushed to my friend. For a month now, as I could not get through to her, the letters remained unanswered. I flew into Oh Hae Young's house like a whirlwind, and the first thing I saw was her mourning photo. My friend, my close friend, my almost sister, committed suicide. And I didn't know anything. Nothing foretold this tragedy. I knew that my friend had a boyfriend she was going to marry. But I didn’t see the guy’s face and never heard bad words about him. Was that guy you?
Yes, but listen...
- Come on, I'll finish my story, and then we'll talk.
- Choir oh, but you should know...
- But we agreed. I speak - you listen.
- Good.
- I will not tell you what condition my friend's mother was in then, we talked with her until the evening, and then my mother remembered that my friend had left a letter for me. After reading the letter, I swore revenge on you.
- What?
- Yes exactly.
- But what did I do? Wait, you don't know the whole story.
- I know everything. I understand something terrible happened, something that made a friend commit suicide.
If you give me the opportunity to explain myself, I will tell you everything.
- Okay, sure, but first listen to me. I then stayed in Korea for only a week, my world was empty. After a week in Seoul, I returned to America.
I took the letter with me. I had to study for a few more years, a plan appeared in my head, but I could not implement it right in the same year. I graduated from high school, then university, and then returned to Seoul.
All paths were open to me, my diploma was my calling card, but when I told my family that I wanted to get a job at the agency as a housekeeper, they were horrified. However, I stood my ground, and they reconciled. I worked as a housekeeper in two places, where I got a job just for the sake of it, so that it would be written on the resume that I had at least some experience, and then I got my way, you let me work in your house.
I have reached my goal. I didn't lie to you, I was never your fan. Reading and rereading my friend's letter, I hated you with all my heart, but in order to know everything about you, I had to watch your films and listen to your songs.
- Stop, - the actor shouted, - Let me justify myself, let me say at least something, don't you understand that I can't listen to this anymore?
- What tenderness! I've lived with this hatred for so many years, and you can't listen for a few minutes? Well, if you insist, I'll shut up.
- No, I didn't mean that. Okay, keep going.
- My story is coming to an end, all the incomprehensible things that happened in your house and around you, from the moment I entered your house, are the work of my hands. All these inscriptions on the mirrors, notes, and other things that were incomprehensible to you then - I did all this. Do you remember the clip in my hair the first time I stepped into your house? You recognized this hairpin, it worried you! You looked at her time after time, without realizing it, I was counting on this effect, and I was extremely glad that my plan was a success! This, as you know, was Oh Hye Young's favorite hair clip. My friend's mom gave it to me the day I found out about her death. But analyzing and studying you, listening to your songs, spending evenings watching films where you played the main role, I did not notice how I fell in love with you. I told myself that the person who played in that film, the person who insisted on making that film about unfortunate children, cannot be a scoundrel. I loved and hated you. Over time, the hatred went away, then I began to hate myself for having betrayed the memory of a friend.
That's all. That's the whole story. I think that now you will easily give me a divorce.
- Can I ask you what was written in the note?
- Yes, since today is the day of revelations, I will tell you everything. This is a note, this is my friend's last letter. If you read the letter, you will see that Oh Hae Young loved you so much that she did not blame you for anything. It follows from her words that on the day when all three of you played computer games in your parents' house, your mother's jewelry box went missing. The parents did not raise a fuss, they did not want to blame anyone and tried to figure out what happened. However, your friend did not remain silent and said that he saw Oh Hae Young take the box. The girl burst into tears, she was waiting for you to take her side, but you hesitated, you did not know who to believe. Without waiting for any response from you, Oh Hae Young left.
The letter says Oh Hae Young didn't take the box, she wouldn't lie to me. Her family was going through temporary life difficulties at that time, including financial ones. Maybe that's why you didn't side with her. You thought she took the box because she wanted to help the family. These are not my words, these are Oh Hae Yong's words. The girl left, but you did not rush after her, you believed the words of a friend. She waited, a week passed, then two, then a month. You did not come. After that, she decided to commit suicide.
- I didn't know anything. Wang said that later, she got married and went to China. Well, why didn't she tell me? Why didn't you object? Why didn't you try to prove yourself right? After all, she was a smart girl!
“I understand that her world collapsed that day. She trusted you very much, and she wanted you to trust her implicitly as well. When that didn't happen, she waited, she wanted you to come talk to her, but you didn't come. - I was going to visit her several times, but Van told me that she did not want to talk to me. He told me that if I came to her, she would complain to her older brother and he would beat me. I really really loved and appreciated e that girl, we always talked about many things with her, and when this story happened, I really missed talking with her.
Once I was in such sadness and sadness that I could no longer be apart from her, and I went to her house. I knocked on the gate for a long time, shouted her name, shouted that I loved her, but no one opened it to me, and only then did I believe that she no longer wanted to see me. This happened three months after the box disappeared.
- You could still knock, yell, call her by name, but no one would have opened it to you, because after her death, her family moved from there.
- No, it can't be, you're confusing something. Wang, that friend of mine, told me recently that he saw Oh Hae Young in one of the stores, her husband and children were next to her.
- Oh, I'm tired. The rain is over. Let's go outside and just shut up. I expected a different reaction from you. I thought you'd agree to a divorce when you found out that I've been fooling you for a year.
- No, there will be no divorce. Good. Let's go outside and just shut up. Give me the letter, I want to look at her handwriting and remember everything.
They sat and were silent. There was no rain, but the sky was still grey. The sand was wet, and leaden waves crashed against the shore. Seagulls screamed and promised new rain.
AFTER THE CONVERSATION
A week has passed. The actor needed to urgently return to Korea, but he was afraid to start a conversation about it with his wife.
Mei saw how her husband was tormented and worried, remembering his first love, but she was silent. She believed that he should endure this pain himself, that this burden would be with him now all his life. The actor never returned Oh Hae Young's letter to May, and she respected her husband for that.
May could not sleep one night and took a long walk along the shore. When she returned, she decided to look into her husband's room. The husband, as always, slept badly, his eyes moved under the eyelids, and he breathed rapidly. Kunqu was sleeping clutching Oh Hae Yong's letter. Mei kissed Kunqiu, and he relaxed and fell fast asleep.
The woman understood that now that everything was clear, she no longer had a reason to hate her husband. However, if her husband forgave her, she did not forgive herself. She told herself that a relationship that began with a lie could not lead to anything good. Mei also understood that her husband needed to return to Korea, but until she made a decision, he would not fly anywhere.
And she made a decision.
She told her husband to return to South Korea alone. If after nine months he still loves her, then maybe they can be together.
Now she needed to be alone.
As expected, the husband did not immediately come to terms with his wife's decision. But the time came when she was left alone in the house. All nine months, on the day of the accident, she brought flowers to that intersection. She knew that her girl was alive and, stepping on the stones of the crossroads, called her, and said that she, mother, had come, mother was here, mother hoped to meet her daughter. Flowers were a guide between mother and daughter. When the ninth month had passed, she brought flowers for the last time. Two days later, she was already flying to Japan to climb Mount Fuji. Fujiyama was the first object of her ascent, after Fujiyama she wanted to climb all the highest mountains in the world.
She waited as long as she could for her husband to fly to her, but there was no news from him.
VAN'S LIE
During the separation from Mei, many things happened. Feeling guilty, the man went to the house where Oh Hae Young's mother now lived. It’s not that he doubted the words of his wife, but one thing is the word, and another when you see and hear a story about the happiness that you have lost.
Kunqu spent the whole day with the mother of his deceased lover. They talked and could not talk enough, they remembered the one that had not been on earth for so many years. Then, together with his mother, Oh Hae Young, he went to the place where the memory of his beautiful youthful love lived. There were candles burning, there were flowers, there was a portrait of Oh Hae Yong. This is how Kunqu remembered her, happy, cheerful and in love. Next to the portrait were other photos, these photos were all three of them - he, Wang and the beautiful Oh Hae Young.
Mom left a long time ago, and he still stood and talked with the one who was the love of his youth.
After he paid his debt to memory, he decided to implement what he had been putting off for a long time. As the artist expected, Wang denied his guilt. Kunqu could not punish Wang, time had passed, and it was no longer possible to prove anything. It was Wang who stole that box, he lost then, he urgently needed money. Not that he was planning and thinking about who to dump his blame on, the decision came instantly.
Well, what happened next, you already know.
The artist was furious, half his life was spent in ignorance. He was angry with his beloved, resented her, then envied her when Wang lied to him that he saw Oh Hae Young with her husband and children, and his beloved girl had actually been gone for a long time. All Kunqiu could do now was just say that their friendship of many years was over. From now on, they are no longer friends, and if Wang comes to Kunqu's house again, then the guards will simply not let him through. However, the artist was sure that there was a higher ud, and this judgment his lying friend will not be able to deceive.
May forbade her husband to write and call, she told him that if he had time, and if he still loved her, he could fly to her when nine months had passed. Kunqu planned to do just that, but the unexpected happened when six months passed, his dreams returned to the artist. All this time, while he lived with Mei and loved her, there were no seizures. It seemed that they were gone for good, but now everything happened again.
MONK
Passed the seventh month and the eighth, the artist looked worse and worse. Mom Kunqiu was aware of all his torment, and when she visited him again, she was simply horrified. The artist didn't just look bad, he looked terrible. Having agreed with the famous monk, who was rumored to work miracles, she sent her son to a Buddhist monastery. In order for the monk to form an accurate picture of the artist's mental illness, he announced that Kunqiu would have to live in the monastery for three days. Kunchu didn't mind. Here, in the mountains, he could breathe easily, he believed and hoped that he would find the cause of the curse that had haunted him for so many years. However, to Kunqiu's surprise, the monk simply talked to the artist, he asked him about his pedigree, about his childhood, about the current problems that torment the man. It was very unusual, the artist thought that the monk would do all sorts of unusual, mystical things, but the first day passed in conversations. On the second day, the monk asked the artist to help him. If you climb high up the mountain, and then go down, you could go to the river. The river was cold and very turbulent. The artist had to collect water and take this water to the monastery. Huge barrels stood in the middle of the monastery courtyard, but now the barrels were almost empty. Kunqu quickly understood his task, it took him all day to fill the barrel with water to the brim. By evening, he no longer felt his arms or legs, but for some reason he was happy. Being engaged in physical labor, he did not think and did not remember. He just lived in the present. The second night passed, the last morning in the monastery came. The monk dressed in ritual attire and invited Kunqiu to the question room. I would not like to describe the rituals that the monk performed with Kunqu. Before starting the ritual, the monk asked to keep everything a secret. Kunqu even wanted to give a written promise that the secret of the rituals would remain a secret, but the monk only smiled and said that he did not need all this. A verbal agreement is sufficient.
The artist once again confirmed that he would not tell anyone about what was happening in the monastery, and the ritual began.
The work of a monk was similar to that of a doctor, he made a diagnosis and recommended treatment. It was not for nothing that the monk talked for a long time about the Kunqiu family, about the ancestors from the side of his father and mother. After listening to everything that the artist told him, reading his astral map, which he compiled by date of birth, and having performed a ritual that I have no right to talk about, he finally gave an accurate definition of Kunqu's illness.
As incredible as it may sound, the artist paid for the sins of his famous ancestor. Confucius was a highly moral man, the Asian world still lives according to his commandments. Only one spot was on the biography of the great philosopher. His students did not like to mention it, but this fact could not be erased from the biography of Confucius.
Here is an excerpt from ancient books: “In the time of Confucius, it was easy to get a divorce.
It was enough to take a wife from home, take her to her parents' house and leave her there.
And you can go back with a light heart.
The philosopher Confucius, after his son was born, or rather, a few years after the birth of his son, did just that. Yes, yes, he just took his wife out of his life.
The wife had elderly parents, so Confucius returned his daughter to them. Why, how, from where such a decision descended on the head of Confucius, history is silent about this. The disciples of Confucius are silent about this. This act, rather ugly, went against the radiant teachings of the Great Philosopher.
However, family affairs are such a dark, muddy sea, in which the bottom is often not even visible.
Only fragments of memories remain about this sad story, which we are now trying to put together in a coherent and coherent story. Confucius' wife lived in the neighboring Song kingdom before her marriage, and the young Confucius then worked as a bailiff in the market. He kept track of the freshness of vegetables and fish. After Confucius married, he, along with his young wife, lived for some time in her parents' house.
Instead of working tirelessly to earn money for housing and a comfortable life for his young wife, the philosopher was busy thinking and talking.
No woman will like it.
Well, my wife did not like such a life!
Confucius and his wife had too different aspirations. A highly moral and decent young man, in everyday life he turned out to be quite picky and boring.
In combination with the disorder of life and the tediousness of the philosopher, this situation was like a time bomb. However, a few years later, when the fame of Confucius spread far beyond the greed, a hail of gifts and rewards from rulers and officials rained down on the philosopher.
The Confucius family finally moved into their home, but happiness did not settle in this house, it was already too late, love left without leaving anything in return.
The further, the more.
Anguish and discord began to rule their ball in the house of the great philosopher. The family life of highly moral Confucius was already taking quite complex forms. The great philosopher, and teacher of youth, left writings that indicate that servants, as well as women, meaning the wife, should be kept at a distance.
That is, he equated his wife with the servants, showing by this that the wife is something low, annoying, that is, a creature that all the time requires attention. Confucius believed that if you bring servants closer to you, as well as your wife, then the first and second will become cheeky, and if you remove them from yourself at a great distance, then hatred will follow in response.
To avoid both, Confucius did not find anything better than to simply take his wife to his elderly parents and forget about her, as if she did not exist in the world.
Again, Confucius took his wife to her elderly parents and left her there forever.
Confucius, as I said, had a son, the son later had his own son. However, the example of father and grandfather turned out to be contagious, the son and grandson could not create a happy and harmonious family. All their marriages ended in divorce, pain and bitterness.
By the way, Confucius' wife's name was Kikoan Shi."
In the descendants of Confucius, the blood flowed and Kikoan Shi. And the pain of a woman who was thrown away as an unnecessary thing, after so many years of marriage, sometimes became a curse for posterity. In this particular case, the case of the actor Kunqu, the curse came to naught at the moment when his wife was next to him. Only Mei was the panacea for all ills and all the curses that threatened the actor.
This is exactly what the monk suggested. He said that probably Kunqiu's salvation was to be close to Mei. Only she had the strength that mother nature bestows on women at birth in order to prevent the death of Kuntsyu. If you believe the monk who consulted the astral map of the artist, then the next moonlit night will be the last for Kunqu. The monk gave the artist protective charms, but said that the charms would protect him only until the start of the fatal moon, but would become useless if he did not reunite with his wife before the start of the next three lunar days and nights. Hearing this, the artist got up to leave the monastery and begin his journey to the woman he loved, but the monk stopped him. The monk said that the soul, for which the man wept and mourned, actually remained on earth. As soon as the artist returns home, an important message will be waiting for him. The artist must not ignore this message, he must meet with the person who sent this message. Kunqu did not understand anything, he would like the monk to be more specific, but he did not achieve anything else. The only thing the monk added was that when Kunqu meets his wife, he must believe her words unconditionally. It was the wife who believed all this time that the little soul, about which the artist mourned, was alive. Kunqu decided that he was beginning to understand something, but the monk again refused to interpret his words. The monk advised the artist to hurry up, because there was only a month left before the fateful three lunar days, and because an important message awaited him at home.
MESSAGE
When the artist returned home, among the pile of mail that had accumulated during the time he was not at home, he saw a letter that had been sent from the Los Angeles prison. As he began to read, his body began to shake. May was right, as always, their daughter was alive. Ms. Park, that crazy fan, wrote about it in a letter that the artist is now reading.
After her arrest, Ms. Park was in a Los Angeles prison. One day she came across a Bible in the prison library. From that moment on, the girl's life changed. She believed in God, this is what prompted her to write a letter to the artist. As you remember, Mrs. Park's parents were outrageously rich, and therefore not a single wish of their daughter remained unfulfilled. But now they could not get her out of an American prison. The girl grew up utterly spoiled and got used to the fact that all her desires are fulfilled. When she realized that the artist Kunqu was not going to meet her, and that he had another woman, she plotted revenge.
How she carried out this revenge you know, but you don't know what really happened to Kunqiu and Mei's daughter. The girl was born healthy, thank God, the accident did not affect her health in any way. Mei was telling the truth, the baby was in the room and she was breastfeeding him. However, all these memories were written off as birth fever. The doctor and nurse received such a huge amount of money, which is scary to voice here. The documents were forged, and the child was given to the nurse, who was hired for a lot of money straight from prison by Mrs. Park. But having carried out her revenge, the fan now did not know what to do with the child. As a result, she simply ordered those who were now with the child to throw l baby, as an unnecessary thing. The woman who was caring for the newborn left her under the walls of the hospital.
After reading this letter, the man clutched his head. What this crazy woman wrote simply did not fit in his head. Now Ms. Park has become a believer in God, and asked the artist to intercede for her so that the girl can atone for her sin in a South Korean prison. She dreamed of praying day and night in the Korean prison chapel to atone for her sin.
DAUGHTER
Kunqu urgently flew to Los Angeles. More than anything, he wanted to see his wife, but he was too late, Mei flew away. He was only one day late, the flowers that lay at the crossroads were still fresh.
The artist reassured himself that the meeting with his wife was ahead. Now he needed to save his child. The meeting with Mrs. Park took place in prison in the presence of a lawyer. The girl told once again everything that happened, and signed her testimony. The law firm that Kunqiu Agency worked with handled Ms. Park's case. The artist left the prison with a light heart, there were some other legal delays, but two weeks later he took his little treasure in his arms for the first time.
In the orphanage, the girl was well looked after, and she looked bright. The baby developed well, and she did not have any deviations in age. As you understand, after all the events that have occurred over the past year, the father no longer let the child go for a minute. Her hand was in his hand all twenty-four hours a day.
Kunqiu fulfilled his promise, Ms. Park's fate was in good hands, and nothing else held the artist in America.
There were two weeks left until the three terrible lunar days.
HELP ME!
Returning home to Seoul, the artist gathered a family council. The little treasure that was sleeping in his arms was the object that attracted the eyes of grandparents and other relatives like a magnet. The artist was still afraid, and therefore, despite numerous requests, he never let go of the baby. Kunqiu was worried about many things, he thought about what would be the fate of his little princess if he really died in two weeks. He had to settle a lot of legal issues, from the baby's citizenship to inheritance issues. In the event that Kunqu's wife returns before X, he will have nothing to worry about anymore, but her search has so far been unsuccessful.
Indeed, his wife wanted to climb Mount Fuji, but for some reason changed her mind, and after that her traces were lost.
Time passed, only one week left.
Although there was still a week left before the attack of the lunar days, he already felt bad. He was wondering exactly how he would die, what would it be? Maybe he'll get hit by a passing car, or maybe he'll die of a heart attack? There was no point in guessing. Somehow, the story of the damned lunar days was leaked to the press, and then one day he woke up and saw crowds of people behind his fence. People came to support their favorite artist, they were ready to do anything to save him and promised to help find his wife. And that's when he understood these people. It turns out that popular love could be not only evil, but also good. He thanked his loyal fans. And that's when he had an idea. He decided to record a video message to the fans. He knew that his fan clubs were scattered all over the world. Just imagining how many people are now worried about him, he was amazed. He knew that there were such clubs all over the world, but until now he did not attach much importance to this. The idea grew and expanded in his head. Calling Kim's manager, he talked to him, and the shooting was scheduled for the next day. He went to this shooting with his adored baby. The cameras were turned on and recording began. Despite the bright light of the spotlights, the baby did not cry, but everyone around her cried. Kunqu briefly, and trying not to dramatize, outlined the situation, he did not go into too much detail, but promised that if the fans help find his wife, then all is not lost for him.
Nothing more depended on the artist, he bowed to all those people who were now worried about him, and said that he would believe.
Of course, I describe everything he said in dry language. Now this record has been deleted, but believe me, everything that this tired man said, who did not let go of his daughter, touched those who were his fans, and even those who were not his fans before this video. A father who lost and found a daughter, a mother who believed that her daughter was alive, despite everything, this whole story, in a world where there was so little love and magic left, touched people, and people organized a search for Mei around the world.
When the cameras turned off, he thanked the film crew and said that he would hope for further fruitful work, but now he needs to go home to put the girl to bed.
Now all that was left was to wait.
EVEREST
Mei didn't go up to the top of Mount Fuji. Although everything was organized, she felt that Fujiyama was too easy a target. It turns out that everyone and sundry could go up there. After enjoying the beauty of Japan, she decided to move on to the next stage of her plan. Climbing Everest required a lot of expenses, not only mental and physical, but also ordinary, monetary. The ascent to Everest was put on stream, guides, equipment, access systems, all this gave the government of this country a lot of money. By the time I'm talking about, the woman can be said to actually have not yet begun to rise. Together with a group of climbers, she was on the lower plateau. Mei didn't like what was happening to her. She did not believe in the transmigration of souls and in deja vu, however, as soon as the ascent began, she recognized the leader of the group, and she was also sure that she knew at least half of the group by sight, although she had never seen these people before this ascent. The weather was getting worse, of course, it was not as cold here as at the top, at the very top of Everest, but the snow was already starting to hurt my face. It couldn't be, but even the instructor's voice was familiar to her. She did not understand what was happening until her eyes fell on a small red walkie-talkie, and suddenly she remembered. She not only remembered, but she knew exactly what would happen in the next moment. The instructor spoke into the radio in concern, and then turned to her. She had already seen this moment in her dream. What she heard next was beyond that dream.
The instructor said:
- They are looking for you all over the world. Your husband is in danger. The information is already in all the news media, and only you, probably, have not seen it. However, this is of course not surprising, because the Internet is not here. Calm down, your husband is alive, and soon a helicopter will fly for you.
The woman felt as if the ground beneath her began to tremble. She did not hide from her husband that she still loved him, and waited until the last moment that he would fly for her. Time was up, but he did not arrive, and she decided that he had stopped loving her. But it turns out that the matter was completely different, the lunar curse again captured him in its nets. She pondered all this while waiting for the helicopter. The fans, who were happy that Mei was found, made sure to get Mei to her husband as soon as possible.
Mei flies to her adored husband, and does not yet know that not one, but two loving hearts are waiting for her at home. I'm sure she will make it. After all, there are still two whole days before the start of the lunar madness.
FATE
“After the author spoke to the actor about immortality, which was a major theme in the filming of the demon film, she smoothly moved on to the topic of loneliness. The author asked the actor if it's hard for him to be lonely? There was a short pause, and then the actor gave his answer. He said he feels loneliness in different ways. Sometimes, when the whole day was full of people, events, loud music and lights, loneliness feels like a best friend, at this moment he does not consider that being alone is too hard. But sometimes, when twilight creeps into an empty house and fills it from top to bottom, it seems that loneliness becomes a small vicious animal that bites him and reminds him that time is fleeting.
From the author's interview with the actor
Are you worried? Worried if fans will find Mei in time?
Hello, it's me, the author of the book. Rather, I disguise myself as the author. Actually I am destiny. I am a fashionable person, and quite loving. The more couples I see around, the younger I will stop. How do I see one some, it becomes chilly, and even somehow I begin to grow old.
Old age grabs me by the collar and says:
“Yeah, got a dove! "
Sometimes the slogan "Fall in love or die!" is not just a metaphor, not just a common expression, it is a vital state that you need if you are not doing well. Of course, having fallen in love, you will not receive a guarantee that in front of you is exactly the person who will help you get out of all the life circumstances that have accumulated and put pressure on you. I'm talking about something else here. We are talking about that state, about that magical state that will rejuvenate you and give activation to all your vital forces. And if, as a result of falling in love, exactly the person whom fate intended for you turns out to be with you, this will be a pleasant bonus.
Therefore, my task is to prepare the situation in such a way that those who were destined for each other by fate will surely meet. It doesn't matter how many kilometers separate them, what cultural and language barriers prevent their meeting - it doesn't matter if the meeting is planned in heaven, then it will definitely take place. When these children are born, even then the red thread connects them through space and distance.
Their meeting is happening, it works 90%. Another 10% are problem lovers. Sometimes, even being in the same country, in the same city, they cannot collide in any way, and here on the stage of the theater, called life, I go out, beautiful fate. Of course, I can also act as an ugly old woman, but our book is about love, and in this book everything should be beautiful, including my face.
- Look, look, what a strange grandmother is coming! Floral hat, 19th century dress!
- Why are you pawing me? What grabbed my hand? Where is grandma? I do not see!
- Yes, here, turn around, behind your shoulder!
- Ugh, don't touch me! You're so sticky because of today's heat! Yes, where is the old woman? Wow!
-What?
-Look what a fifa in a red dress, where do they make these?
-What are you talking about?
-I turned to look at the grandmother, and there is this beauty! And where is your old woman? - Damn, turn around! Now your eyes will pop!
- No, seriously! Roll up to her or something, maybe give a phone number? What are you? What are you fighting?
- Are you really dumb? Maybe you'd better come to me?
- What? What have you done now? Did you kiss me?
- And what will you do to me? Hit it, right?
- No, move closer, because of this heat your forehead shines, let me wipe your face with a napkin.
- Right here?
- No, why, there, behind the tree there is a shop. Let's go there.
- Let's go. Ouch! Oh, what are you doing now? Kissed?
You just don't know men. There was nothing to kiss me first. Everything can change in the blink of an eye!
- O! Even so?!
- She wanted to. If you're like this, you'll get in trouble!
- I wish I had that kind of trouble!
- What?
These are the situations that turn me from an aged lady into a fatal beauty! Well, I continue. Remember what we talked about? Yes, about ten percent of lovers who do not fit into the deity's plan. These lovers came to our world burdened with a burden from past lives and are subject to a curse, but it does not affect everyone. Our hero has been an easy prey for a curse since childhood.
Confucius was an educator, philosopher and statesman in ancient China, and has become an incredibly famous figure in history. The pedigree of Confucius is considered the longest in the world, Kunqiu believed that he belongs to the 79th generation of descendants.
So, he knew that he was a descendant of the great Confucius and built his life in such a way as to be worthy of the memory of the great philosopher. This turned out to be his Achilles heel. But I continue.
These 10% of lovers are especially important to me, they are like my children, they are my work. I invest a lot of effort, a lot of energy and imagination so that they meet. Moreover, after the meeting takes place, I need to make sure that a spark runs between them. But this is not enough. A spark is such a small thing, sometimes a spark flares up and goes out when the firewood is damp, and I need a flame to flare up between lovers.
Do you think a lot of actors throw parties for their housekeepers after a year has passed since they started working? Do you really think that the actor, this clumsy man in love relationships, could come up with such an idea himself?
Our actor, very educated, very kind-hearted, very decent and conscientious person in all respects, but in matters of love, sorry, a complete layman.
I turn to the story of the heroine. Yes, the heroine was looking for ways of rapprochement herself, her fantasy, her passion, her ideas about ideal love, all this coincided when she got to know her master better. For me, with regard to the heroine, the task was not so difficult. It is very good that I had to send not two lovers, but only one. The hero also thought about his beautiful housekeeper all the time, but he would never take the first step towards rapprochement. The actor was in danger all the time, and he was in serious danger. When a curse hangs over a person, there is almost nothing I can do, but this time there was a cure for the curse, and I successfully applied it.
The issue was time.
In fact, the actor was under the gun. Those fateful three days and three nights, those three nights of the moon curse that our lovers successfully passed, that slept after the night of love, because I pushed them into action, and their love broke out like a fire, should have been the last for our actor. And here, I applaud myself! I, or rather, we, together with the lovers, managed to do it. Then the forces of nature were most active. It was a very difficult task, as soon as I agreed with the element of fire, the element of water became a threat. As soon as my gifts for the element of water worked, the element of Earth became strong. And so in a circle. Do you know the theory about the five Chinese elements? It's very good that you know. So, this theory is not fiction. The Chinese are still those masters of turning everything secret by the ear and into the sun! The theory of the five elements was a secret knowledge that was used only in the secret rooms of Chinese monasteries. Over time, this information became open. However, when you type a question about the theory of the five elements on the Internet, you will see millions of articles that repeat each other. After reading this information, you just shrug your shoulders.
And what does this information keep so secret? - you will think - and you will be right.
Everything that is written on the Internet about this theory is true, but this truth lacks a tiny source of information. It is in this tiny little thing that the source of the mystery of the theory of the five elements is located.
Sorry, I got distracted, sometimes it gets boring to plan and implement everything alone, so I got loose. I already physically feel your impatience and desire to flip the page to find out how the story of our beloved ended. I, too, am impatient and understand you perfectly. Well, I just want to add that May had a hard time making the decision to show up to her master's room that night. And as you correctly understood, I had to push her. At some point, Mei was frightened, and even sobered up. It seemed to her that the bed under her began to shake, then the window leaf began to clap, she knocked on the window frame with what frequency, which seemed to be a little more and the window glass would crack and fly out. Then a flock of crows perched on the tree closest to the window and began to croak in unison. It was another spectacle! There were a lot of little things that I did that night. It was one of those nights when the yin and yang elements were at their strongest. I already mentioned that I had to deal with the elements of the five elements. Mei hesitated for a long time, it was scary, I did everything so that she became more and more afraid, and so that she finally left the room. And I have achieved this. The girl left her room and went on a tour of the house. Her task now was simple. She needed a drink to build her courage. Why did she need to muster up the courage, you understand. The object of her love slept on the second floor. It cannot be said that May was very shy, but breaking into a man’s room at night, lying down next to him, grabbing his hand and waiting for him to wake up, it really took a lot of courage, and not every girl would dare to do this. This is where the issue of selfishness comes into play. After all, if waking up, the artist rejected her, it would be a big blow to the girl's pride. And it’s not a fact that she would try to do such a trick again with a nightly visit to the man’s room. Everything was complicated and incomprehensible. Of course, in case of failure, I would not give up trying to bring these people together. But time would play against me. Even if these two slept through the first moonlit night just holding hands, the first moonlight day would be a huge test for the actor. And it is not a fact that by the beginning of the second lunar night he would still be alive. So everything was. Yes, yes, I see that your impatience has reached its climax! I'm off. I press the end button. Now you can directly call the main characters of this story so that they tell in colors how it all ended.
Everything, everything, I'm turning off, I've become very ill. Apparently, I need a recharge, I'll go look for lovers who need my help. Adyu. Selyavi.
EPILOGUE
Picnic
The rays of the setting sun illuminate a woman and her three children. Two children are still very young, they have just learned to walk, these are two twin boys, the girl looks quite mature compared to her brothers, of course, she is already three years old. The children have just eaten, trying to persuade the kids to sleep, the mother hums her favorite song. This song is of great importance for the whole family. The kids don't listen. When a mother asks her daughter to help her sing a song, the girl refuses and shouts:
-Where's my dad? Where is my beloved dad? I won't sing without him!
- Dad's shooting today. Soon the shooting of the film will end, and we will go to rest in another country, there is a house by the sea. I will give you my room, in this room on the wall there is yellow wallpaper like the sun. This wallpaper was chosen by your dad before you were born. It is in this house that we will stop, - the woman answers.
-Call dad, tell me that I miss you and I'm waiting his! Mom, I won't sing this song without dad. Where is my dad? - the girl begins to whimper, it is clear that she is still very small, and it is time for her to sleep.
- Your dad, - the woman glances behind her and smiles, - dad said that if you get really bored, you should sing this song, dad will hear and come.
- Okay, mommy, I'll sing with you!
The girl does not see that her father is already behind her. As soon as the baby begins to sing, he picks her up in his arms.
Magic has come into the world, now the baby will believe that all difficulties will go away, as soon as she sings her father's song.
Kunqiu is rocking her princess, and Mei is almost rocking her sons. They look at each other but say nothing. The rays of the setting sun illuminate the faces of these beautiful people. Now I can leave them, because they are no longer in danger. Together they will overcome all difficulties.
P.S.
Um, wait, are you about to close the book? It's too early. Look at me, here I am, the beauty of fate, which took the form of the author of the book. It was I who pushed the characters towards each other throughout the book. Without me, our hero would still dream of family happiness. Unfortunately, I cannot help every single actor and actress who is almost forty or over forty years old, and who sometimes did not even have a serious love relationship, to help find a soul mate. Maybe now, when this story will be before their eyes, they will understand that they can no longer delay. If time runs out, they will never know about the happiness that awaited them. In general, in my opinion, in the opinion of the author of the book, or as I called myself, the beauties of fate, it is a bad and even somewhat offensive tendency to sacrifice one's personal happiness for the sake of the fans. After all, there are still questions of physiology, the older a person becomes, the more dangerous it is that after a late marriage he will not have children. And without children there is no happiness in the family. Okay, time for the promised fan photo.
-Now, let's take another daily photo that will fly to the Internet, to the fans. Heroes, I ask you to move closer to each other, your family has grown so much that you do not fit in the frame! Mommy, straighten your daughter's hair, the barrette with shells is a little uneven. What? Did dad buy this hairpin for mom when mom was still working as a housekeeper for him? Clearly! I understand that the hairpin will now be inherited? Okay, don't get distracted! So, now the shells are clearly visible. So get ready, one, two, three. Taken!
