Chapter 10
It is possible that rapprochement with the emperor was a big mistake. But once you start, there's no going back. There is a plus in this: he will be able to teach me to write and read. Maybe even teach politics or something else. We must try to find advantages in any situation, albeit small ones.
The next day, fortunately, I did not meet the emperor. As well as in two days and even a week. I have already read the books he gave me five times and even wrote reviews. I went to the library every day, only I didn't stay up late anymore.
Returning home, I walked inspired by the fact that
I can finally read almost freely.
Before me was a crowd of onlookers,
who watched the shadow show. I jumped
closer and stood next to me. The man next to me
raising his right hand, touched my shoulder.
Grimacing in pain, I noticed on his
wrist something shiny. I dropped the books
when I realized that he had a watch on his hand.
About the same as mine.
-Where did you get it from? I grabbed the stranger's hand and started shaking it frantically.
Are you sick man? What are you throwing at people? This is my thing, why bother? In front of me was a young guy, about twenty years old.
-It's a clock. Quietly, in bewilderment, I said. The guy on whose hand I saw the watch froze as if rooted to the spot.
-Do you know what it is? stranger pointing at the clock. surprised
-Of course I know, because I have the same ones! a tear slipped from my eyes From my hopes. I bared my left hand and showed the watch to this guy.
We froze, staring at each other.
- What year are you from? - This question stopped the flow of thoughts about where the stranger got this watch from.
-2017. And you? "I felt like I was almost back home.
-2014. At that moment, tears flowed non-stop from that person's eyes. He seems to have exactly the same feeling.
in the end, we both burst into tears, so much so that we hugged tightly, as it was possible!
As a result, we both burst into tears, so much so that we hugged tightly, as it was possible!
- I was sure I was the only one here. What is your name?
-Here I was called Haneul. And in our world - Kim Ha Pa. And you?
- So you're a girl? The NEW acquaintance was amazed. My name is Lin, here, and formerly called Bing Soo. You have no idea how I feel right now. We continued to shed tears. - And I did not understand, tears of happiness or what?
Why, I totally understand.
- How long have you been living here?
-It will be six months soon. And you?
- Apparently yes. If we ever return, We can return at any moment, no matter how many years we live here.
- You're so young. How did you get here?
- In my world I am 21 years old.
- I also got here at this age! Lin exclaimed. And I found myself here, and I was fourteen. Thought I would die.
- And I became sixteen. - I answered.
-If your name is Haneul, you pretend to be a guy. Then talk like a guy, otherwise there will be big problems.
-Yes I know. Listen, does anyone know that you're from the future? - Quietly asked I.
-When I first got here, I met an old man. If not for him, I would have died here, I would have died. He himself guessed that I was not local and I had to tell who I was. And you know, he believed me right away. Unfortunately, he died two years later. I live like his grandson. I work as a carpenter and I seem to have even gotten used to the idea that I live in Goguryeo. And you? How did you survive?
-Haneul! I turned around at the call of my name and nearly collapsed. Before us appeared Tantalus. Crap! Why does he show up at the wrong time?
-Your Majesty! Lin quickly showed his respect and pulled me along.
-Do you know each other? WHAT to him - Tantalus was amazed, pretending it was completely uninteresting. He only asks out of courtesy. Why
-We did not meet each other in a long time. Since I live with a girl. Lin also went to his grandfather and so we fled to different parts of the world. And today, behold, a happy reunion. I put on a smile and hugged Lin. Now he really is actually a native person for me. The only relative.
- Well, congratulations. Tantalus said dryly, and I was even offended that he answered coldly.
We'll go, we have a lot to discuss. I answered and took Lina's hand.
- Hold on. Books, have you studied them? Is it really that important now? I just wonder how you can be so inhuman?
-Yes, here they are. I went up to Tantallus and - held out a pile. - Above, this is my opinion of each book. And now, we will go, with your permission. I bowed and, grabbing Lin's hand, disappeared into the crowd.
