002: Din Yok Bridge

After a "good" fight, Hyun Bin did not stand up yet, he was still lying in the middle of the class.

From where he lay, he could look out the window. The sun was slowly falling, dusk had begun. The red glow of the last suns filled the room.

Lying in the middle of this floor, strangely, was extremely comfortable.

It's just that if the bruises on Hyun Bin aren't too painful, maybe he will be a lot more comfortable.

"Have you ever thought of death?"

Yeul's voice kept ringing.

Of course, Yeul was no longer here, she and Kim Suk went anywhere.

And Hyun Bin was alone in the room. So the voice that kept ringing was inside his head.

"If I were you, I'd rather commit suicide."

Yeul's voice was still ringing. Like a strong Radio.

Hyun Bin's eyes welled up.

I will not cry!

Just, the sunset sky made him feel extremely sad.

Hyun had difficulty getting up. I should go home ...

Once again, he remembered Yeul's words.

"Suicide is evil ..." Hyun stood up, while his lips whispered something.

.

The distance from Hyun Bin High School to his aunt's home is not too far. If he go fast it will only takes 15 minutes, but if go slowly, it will take about 20 minutes.

On that road, there is a bridge.

The 50m-long bridge is extremely famous in the town where Hyun Bin lives. It is called "Din Yok Bridge". Hyun Bin has heard about anecdote why this bridge has this strange name.

The story is, in the war time, which war? Hyun Bin don't know. At that time, there was a living river monster that specialized in eating children and the elderly. Because its subjects were children and the elderly, when they were missing the people in the area did not have any doubts.

Everyone thought that maybe the kids and the old people got lost and disappeared. Anyway, that was a time of war. Grief exists, but it does not haunt it forever.

But one day, a magician named Din Yok went to this area.

As he walked towards the river, Din Yok frowned and vomited incessantly. Then he rushed into the residential area to ask about the river, about the mysterious things that often happened.

When he heard about the disappearances, he clicked his tongue and spoke.

"You guys have been possessed by monsters."

Of course people do not believe. How can they trust a magician from somewhere?

"Don't you believe?"

People shook their heads. Seeing that, Din Yok sighed.

"Because you are mortals, you cannot see" miasma. " Since stepping into this land, I have always seen "black spirit" everywhere. And it comes from that river. "

After saying that, Din Yok stood up and walked to the river. People in the area are curious to follow.

Before long, everyone was present, they surrounded the river, their eyes on the magician Din Yok.

"I will prove it."

After saying that, Din Yok took out a string of wooden beads. He sat down to chant.

After half an hour of continuous chanting. The river suddenly changed color. Daily freshness became black. An ugly river monster walked on land, standing opposite Din Yok who was chanting.

"Are you destroying my place?" It screamed violently.

Hearing its screams, the people in the village trembled, they could only hug and fear each other.

"Right." Din Yok calmly nodded. He put away the string of wooden beads in the bag on his belt, then stood up. Eye to eye with the sea monster. "I came here to destroy you."

Hearing that, the monster showed a smile of contempt.

"You have the strength ..."

Before the monster could finish talking, it's head was knocked away. Din Yok quickly took out a cloth covering his head, chanted a prayer for a while, then stood up.

Din Yok looked at everyone in the village. They are now looking at him in bewilderment. It is easy to understand.

"The monster has been exterminated."

Just hearing that, the people woke up, they were happy to congratulate him. However, contrary to everyone's feelings, Din Yok suddenly worried.

"Where is the body of the sea monster?"

Even though the whole village had been searching for the afternoon and evening, Din Yok could not find the body of the sea monster. He sighed, giving up. Could it be a heavenly idea? He thought.

Din Yok did not stay in this land for long, he stayed for a week and then quickly said goodbye.

"Hey, regional elder." Din Yok spoke before saying goodbye, his hand holding the head of the sea monster wrapped in white cloth. "I have some advice for you."

"Yes. Please, please. "

"Limit going to this river, if you and the people in this place still value your life."

Saying that, Din Yok walked away.

Din Yok was afraid, he was afraid the body of the sea monster had fallen into the river. And if that happened then it would be disastrous. Who knows, what would the monster haunt this river and do?

As for this land. Following Din Yok's instructions, they restricted the river. As time went by, the land developed into a village and then a town, and the river was built on a bridge. In honor of Din Yok's glorious feat, the bridge bears his name.

As time went on, the story of Din Yok gradually drifted into oblivion through each generation. And do not know since when, the meaning of the name "Din Yok Bridge" has not many people remember.

Now this bridge is still famous in the area. But not because of its historical significance, but about the suicides that often occur here.

Din Yok Bridge is an ideal place for suicide. Of course, Hyun Bin doesn't agree with this idea. But, how many people have died here? They fail at work, sad love, and other problems in society ... then they immersed themselves into the dark river.

Din Yok Bridge is always the right place for them to do that.

Hyun Bin once wondered if the suicide at Din Yok Bridge was related to the "missing body of the old river monster"?

.

Standing on the Din Yok Bridge, Hyun Bin sighed.

He was now watching the black river flowing strongly.

The black river ... Of course it was black because the chemicals in the town had polluted it, it had nothing to do with the old Din Yok legend.

Din Yok and the river monster.

That is a good story. A little horror story for children to stop kids from coming to the river. Hyun Bin used to love this story, because it was the story his mother told him when she was alive.

Come to think of it, Hyun Bin's feelings were falling. He was already sad, now even more tragic.

Yeul's voice still doesn't let Hyun Bin go. It kept ringing endlessly in his mind.

Every time Yeul's voice is heard, Hyun Bin becomes more depressed.

Has Hyun Bin ever thought of death? And, shoul he commit suicide himself?

Normally, despite any difficulties in life, Hyun Bin would never think of this, committing suicide.

But…

Today, after being beaten so badly that his body was still aching, Hyun Bin looked at the black river. And naturally, that meaning came to his mind.

If you die everything will end. Life and consciousness. At the same time is the estrangement of everyone, bullying and injustice.

If he were still alive, those things would continue ...

Thinking in this way, death is not so scary, is it? Hyun Bin made a mocking smile.

Hyun Bin climbed into the bridge. Because of his massive body, it took him a while to climb up. Standing on the bridge, the visibility became much higher. Hyun Bin saw the dark river flowing down to the factory far away.

A breeze blew through. A breeze and cool bar.

Because the wind was so light, it was only enough to shake some of Hyun Bin's hairs.

"..."

Hyun Bin climbed down the bridge. It seems that climbing is much easier than climbing.

"It's stupid to think about committing suicide." Hyun Bin smiled. "Perhaps for a moment, I was seduced by the sea monster?"

Then he began to go home. It was already late, the sun had set, and the moon was gradually rising.

Hyun Bin cannot die at this time. If he committed suicide, Hyun Bin would always be a failure. You have to try, no matter how difficult life is.

"Yes, I will try ..." Hyun suddenly felt strongly. He clenched his frantic hand to himself.

But…

The moment he took his step down the road, Hyun Bin's consciousness disappeared.

All left were black color in his head.
