Short story – 01-2: [
ORANGETULIPS]
*All events and locations are fictitious and have no relation to reality in any way.
“The tulips are really beautiful. And my feelings right now can be compared to these orange tulips if the meaning is If the media could reach that person, it would be good.”
My name is Saithan, I'm in third year. Faculty of Pharmacy One of the famous universities nearby This is it, and since I belong to a species of people who are quite good-looking, there will be some people who come to flirt with me.. Well.. not some, but a lot. Haha, I'm not narcissistic.
If you could see the real me, you would definitely think the same as me. Haha. But right now I'm single and I really want to announce it to the world!! There's a cute single woman here, haha. As for why she's still single? It's because there hasn't been anyone who has made me feel 'different'.
From any man I've ever met, I didn't even set out my specs to be handsome, to be rich, to be perfect. Or what else is excellent? I'm already rich, beautiful too, and can take care of myself. I don't need anyone to coddle me, and another thing. Since I study in this faculty, I need to concentrate on studying a lot. until the most
Because both the formula and the ingredients Both various chemical reactions There are a lot of them, more than Mount Everest. The higher the year, the less personal time I have to share with those around me. The free time I have doesn't match up with other people's. The only people I meet often are those in the group who go to study. together Having said that, young men There are many in the group.
“Whew!! Manny, how is this class?" The voices of her two friends shouted greetings to each other.
Well.. this is it. There are handsome young men in the group. It's just like this. Let's be like this! Or you will find the type..
“You don't have time for us, sorry. But I don't think we can continue together.” And the other type is like when I have the opportunity to date a handsome person. who seems to understand, but when I'm not available, I secretly go look for scraps with this person, this person
Sigh..I'm going to be upset. Like this, I will definitely be the Golden Khan Queen from now on. So I only want someone who understands me and who I can understand. That's enough. We can live together now. That's all, just this! Why is it so difficult?..I also want to have a warm family of my own..
“Alright, then I'll give everyone homework to go back and choose 3 drugs each that I listed on the sheet. When you're done, you can bring them to me at the lab next time. See you next week,” the young teacher's voice said, signaling that it was time to end class.
'Sigh.. Let's stop studying. Where should I go..' I thought to myself.
“You..then I'll go first today. I just had an appointment to watch a late night movie with my girlfriend, hehe.” My female friend who is also a roommate. Saying goodbye with excitement
“Oh.. Wow, she's really excited. Just go, don't worry." I replied to my friend in disgust.
'Sigh.. when will there be something like this with him.. I'm really bored. Let's go take a walk in the park next to the faculty.' I thought about it so I walked down from the faculty building towards the park next to the faculty.
'Hmm.. there are people there.. Ah!! That's a tulip! It's already blooming? It's so beautiful..' I thought to myself, but saw that there was someone sitting in the way, so I walked over and sat on the polished cement bench next to me instead.
'Um... I want to take a picture. I really want a picture of those tulips.. Brother, please get up. Please get up. I'll take a photo. I'll take a photo. Please.. Get up.. If you don't get up, I'll break in! But he often looks in our direction too. Even though I'm not handsome. It doesn't look good.
But it should be easy to talk like this. Charming and charming!
"Uh.. I'm sorry.. Is.. is there anyone sitting here?" I secretly walked up behind the man.
“Ah.. um.. m.. no,” the man replied.
'Looks like you're more shy than I thought. But it's great! It's really easy to talk to, so let's do it!!' I thought with a smile in my heart.
I try to find a beautiful angle to take photos and change it to this angle. But had to stumble when the man started inviting us to talk.
“Um..excuse me, what are you filming?” the man asked.
“Oh, take pictures of flowers. I just happen to like the tulip trees. Do you see them? They are so beautiful. There are oranges, reds, yellows, all shades of color. They are so beautiful and we can see that they are only here. So I would like to disturb you a little. I probably don't mind.” I replied and smiled in a friendly way because I could see that this person probably didn't have any harm.
“Oh, haha, no problem. I didn't disturb you at all, just fine,” the man replied.
Hm.. I suddenly became more comfortable. But it's friendly.
“By the way, what is your name? Can you tell me?” the man asked.
"My name is Saitharn. You can just call me Tharn. And you?" I answered politely. But I continued to focus on taking photos of the tulips.
"I'm Flame. Is Tarrian here?" the man asked again.
'Oh.. What's so serious? People will take pictures!’ I secretly complained in my heart.
“Yes, I am studying in the Faculty of Pharmacy.” But I could only answer. Because I don't want to have problems.
“Oh, yes, what year are you from now?” he asked again.
"Third year, and you? Are you studying here as well?" I asked. I won't let you ask for our information alone!
“Oh, I'm halfway through studying.. As for me, I'm not studying here. I'm working now,” he replied.
"Yes, then please call me Flame." I replied in a friendly manner.
“Yes, it depends on your convenience. But it seems like we're people who like to take pictures.” He was still trying to get me to talk.
'Even though I don't look like I'm a very good person, I don't think I'm a bad person. Let's talk for a bit.' I thought about it so I just let it go.
“Yes, studying was stressful, but when I got to take pictures of beautiful things to look at and play with, I really enjoyed it.” I answered more naturally.
"You must be very tired while studying. Let's keep fighting," he said encouragingly.
'Hm.. so cute. Please give us some encouragement.' I thought surprised.
“Yes, thank you.” I turned around and nodded, smiling in thanks before turning back to concentrating on taking photos.
“So.. if you don't mind. Would you like me to take a photo for you in case... I want to take a photo with those tulips.” He offered to take the photo.
“Is it good?” I, not knowing what his intentions were, asked casually.
“Well.. if we don't mind,” he replied with a smile, afraid of being scolded by us.
'Haha, he's actually a really nice person. Let's take it easy.' I started to accept him as not being a bad person or having secret hopes.
“Alright, then please help me,” I smiled.
But it turned out that he took me to take pictures here and there.
'It's fun to have people who enjoy the same things as us. It would be good if it continued like this.' Gradually, this thought began to creep into my head.
'No! What the hell are we thinking?! Crazy! enough! Stop!’ I tried to stop myself from thinking.
Until the sky became darker and darker and the light began to disappear. This fun photoshoot had to end, but that's all. P'Flame took all the photos he had taken for me to check one more time to see which ones I liked and which ones I didn't like.
“Wow.. beautiful..” I was satisfied with most of the photos he took when he asked for Facebook. with LINE in order to send pictures I just gave it away without thinking about it until it was finished and it was time for me to go.
"Thank you very much, but I have to go now. I'll see you again." I said goodbye.
"Oh, yes. See you later," he replied, bowing slightly.
“Bye bye.” I waved goodbye and walked away.
From then on, we had the opportunity to talk often. Invite each other to take photos there and here. Even though it's not often because of time problems like I told you earlier. But every time I go with him, I feel so much fun. Showing my true self without needing to maintain an image every time I'm with him.
It made me feel like I had been released from this stressful masked society and gone to another dimension with him. Until half a year has passed, it turns out that I feel like I secretly like him since I don't know when, every time I'm free from studying, I don't have many great hobbies. will think of him
I want to call him, I want to know what he's doing, who he's with, where, how. I want to see him more often, but I don't know what P'Flame thinks of me, so I don't dare express anything more than what I'm being. We are brothers.
Until today, the day that P'Flame and I will meet again. It's the perfect day. Because we had the same free time and it was Friday evening. Tomorrow is a holiday and neither of us are going anywhere. I don't know why. But I feel that no matter what tonight.. No, for these few days, I want to spend as much time with him as possible.
During my lunch break I had the opportunity to walk past the spot where we had met for the first time. I was left to see yellow and orange and red tulips still blooming. I already like tulips. Therefore it is enough to know that Tulips have their own language. that people use to convey meaning on various occasions
Since ancient times, I picked up the phone and searched for information. Then I stumbled upon a line.
'Hm.. the flower language of tulips.. Orange tulips.. Instead of love that hides the feelings of confusion and emotions full of sensitivity Is that so.. It would be good if it could convey meaning to him. But it has to be on the condition that if he isn't so stupid as to ignore its meaning', he thought so.
So I secretly bent down and plucked out three orange tulips that were now blooming. with the intention of giving Then gave him a hint to go find out its meaning.
“Are you.. not finished yet?” my female roommate walked up and asked.
"Oh, not yet. There's still a little bit left to fix. The ingredients here aren't perfect yet." I answered while measuring and checking the amount of the substance.
“So.. do I have to stay here to fix this?” the friend asked again.
"Yes, but it's okay. You go first. You have another appointment, don't you?" I replied a little sarcastically.
"Hahaha, but you have an appointment, isn't that with that elder?" My friend asked tease.
“Yay.. this crazy! Go wherever you want to go.” I smiled, blushed shyly, and lightly slapped my friend on the arm.
“Hahahaha, my friend has a boyfriend. Teasing a little, teasing a little, can make you feel embarrassed. Look.. your face is turning red. You're cute too. I'm so embarrassed. Hahaha.” My friend teased me even more.
“Crazy boyfriend! Boyfriend! What's going on? You can go!” I placed the substance I was measuring in my hand next to the alcohol lamp and turned to hit my friend two more times, following the rhythm of the words “baa” and the word “bo”.
"Wow! You can go now! Hahaha, what a cute person!” My friend teased me and ran out of the room.
"Sigh.. You crazy girl, just wait and see. I'll go back to my room and I'll tease you really hard." I stood and sent my friend with a grumble before turning to look at my watch.
"Whoa! It's already time for an appointment." I saw this so I hurriedly grabbed out my phone and called P'Flame about the matter of having to stay and fix the lab a little longer.
'Tud...Tud...' The phone waiting signal sounded.
"Jah, what are you saying? Where are you? I'm here now." The voice of the young man who was waiting for her rang out.
“At the faculty. I'm still working on the lab, but it'll be finished soon,” I replied.
“Okay, it's okay. Take it slow. I'll be waiting downstairs. Today we will go take pictures.
Night Shot
I just got a new camera. I'll take lots of pictures, haha,” P'Flame replied.
“Yes, then let's just do this for now. Boom!! Scream!!!” I replied, but before I could even get a word out, an unexpected event occurred. Just as I was about to hang up the phone and turn to work on the lab, My waist slammed into the table I was experimenting on. The impact caused the test tube containing the experimental substance to break.
fell towards the flame of the alcohol lamp and the flame ignited the vapor of the experimental substance. The test tube then fell, causing the substance to flow out. that is still on fire I am still in a state of shock. with the events that occurred So he could only helplessly stand and watch the process of the flames burning until the fire caused by chemical combustion, a fire that was difficult to extinguish, began to spread.
Each of the other substances attached to the reticulum also exploded softly. It was the source of the loud bang followed by my shocked scream. The burning test substance began to release more and more toxic fumes. Plus the force of the explosion pumped smoke straight into my nose at the exact moment I took one breath.
I, realizing that I had inhaled something that shouldn't have entered my lungs at all, tried to lift my gown and cover my nose, hoping to prevent from inhaling more toxic fumes and hoping that what I had taken in In the lungs, there would not be such a large amount that it would be dangerous.
Some time passed as I tried to find a way to put out the fire before I could escape. I felt dizzy, nauseous, and wanted to vomit. But I tried to stop it. I realized that right now I couldn't do anything anymore. My limbs became numb. And weakened, I fell to the ground. along with consciousness that began to fade away
'P'Flame.. please help..' was what rang in my head before everything went dark..
I don't know how much time has passed, I don't know what has happened. But when I regained consciousness, I felt that I was lying in the backseat of a car, with two strong arms wrapped around me. Those two hands gripped me tighter. Shake me harder He tried to wake me up. Then I started hearing his voice.
Yes..this voice is P'Flame's voice. Brother Flame is calling us. But what I felt next was a burning sensation in my chest, as if someone had set fire to it from the inside.
'Torture.. stinging.. hot.. torture.. Brother Flame.. please help Tharn' I could only think in my mind. I want to speak out. But he was unable to speak or have enough strength to move his body. He could only let Brother Flame shake him and keep calling like that. I really want to answer. But it hurts like I'm about to die.
'I'm dying.. Am I going to die? No, I don't want to die. I want to be with P'Flame more, I want to spend more time together. Anyone, any miracle can help me get out of this. I'm willing to continue living in torment just to be next to him, anyone.. God, demons, holy things.
Or anything, please help me, P' Flame.. Please help Tharn. Tharn doesn't want to die!' I could only pray in my heart without tears flowing without realizing it. I'm trying to breathe Even though it causes a burning pain Severe torture inside my body But my attempts to breathe only turned into heavy gasps.
"pow!! What's wrong with you?!" P'Flame hugged me tightly, trying to call, trying to wake me up. I hear and see everything.
Water..some water dripped onto my face. I tried to close my eyes and saw Brother Flame crying and hugging me. I'm trying to live I didn't want him to cry, so I tried to muster up my strength. And every little bit of my remaining life force once again exerted itself to move. I wanted to raise my hand and caress his face, hug him.
I want to wipe away the tears, I want to tell him that Tharn is fine and doesn't need to cry, but I can't because what I'm doing is just struggling.
“Tharn, please be patient. Just a little more. Just a little more and I'll take you to the hospital. Just a little more.” The young man continued to try unabated.
I saw P'Flame cry more than ever before and I knew that I must have given up hope now. I probably can't go on. Completely exhausted, I began to relax. Because I no longer had the strength to resist this death, the last face I saw slowly faded and turned completely black.
The voice I had heard slowly faded away. Lighten until it fades away. The feeling of his own strength that he once felt began to fade away. His breathing became lighter and lighter until it stopped.
'I'm really about to die.. Brother Flame.. Than can't apologize to Than anymore. I'm sorry that I couldn't be with you longer than this. I'm sorry that I made you sad. I'm sorry for making you cry and I'm sorry for those tulips. It didn't reach my hand. By now it's probably all burnt up.
But don't cry. I have to stay. for the stream section as well No matter after this Are you going to love someone or have someone new? I wish you happiness for Tharn's part as well. Thar will always be by your side, watching over you, protecting you forever.. Tharn loves you. Goodbye, my dearest Thar..' That was my last thought.
that I entrust to the person I love most Then everything disappeared with the last tear falling from these eyes..
I don't know how long everything was just empty. There was no feeling or anything at all and I was conscious again.
'What.. this darkness.. has no feelings at all? Am I dead?’ I opened my eyes again. In a small square room with drawers and corpses all over the place
'This is the morgue..and who are the people standing there on the corpses? Or are they the spirits of the people still inside this room?' I looked around but saw that the door to this room had been opened. It opened and a man walked in holding three yellow tulips. He walked in and looked for something for a while. before walking straight towards me as the eyes of every soul in the room stared at him almost as if they were the same.
'Brother Flame..' I cried again and then he walked in and stood in front of me. The front of the drawer that kept my body before I inserted a yellow tulip into my drawer.
“I love you, I never told you during the day you were alive. You said you liked this tulip, then you could probably use the flower language of this yellow tulip. This one is for you that I will never get my wish for again, before this is over. I want to tell you that I thank you.
If we hadn't come to say hello to you that day, if we hadn't come into your life, you probably would never have been able to experience this taste of happiness, and I'm sorry.. If that day you weren't so impatient and wanted to see me that you had to call.. I'm sorry.." Brother Flame is standing right in front of me telling me this. I, who had just died, did not have enough strength to gather my spirits to allow him to see me. I just reached out and gently stroked his cheek.
'Tharn loves you too.. Do you know that I secretly picked three orange tulips for you? What is their meaning? What is its meaning? Hidden love What I want to tell you is that there are 3 numbers, one is my heart, one is my body, and the other is my soul I give it to you alone.
How is it? So touching that tears will flow, right? Huh..' I smiled back through tears, knowing full well that I felt both. and words from me It could no longer reach him, he could no longer feel it. All I could do was stand there and cry until he walked away forever..
-THE END-
