# Chapter 142: The River’s Whisper
Eun-seo sat on the riverbank, watching the water flow, and it seemed as though the river itself was whispering to her. The ripples brushed against her feet as she read Min-jun’s letter. His handwriting wrapped gently around her heart, and her pulse quickened with each word. She remembered the moment his hand had held hers—in that touch, she had felt what his heart felt, understood what his heart knew.
She gazed at the river and thought of all that it remembered. Min-jun’s heart. Her own heart. Grandmother’s heart. All of them had sat upon these waters at some point. All of them had entrusted their hearts to this river’s flow. The river held every memory. That memory was the river’s song. As Eun-seo watched, her heartbeat synchronized with the water’s rhythm. The river’s voice enveloped her heart gently, and her pulse danced to its melody.
Then she remembered Do-hyun’s words. The branch school would close. She recalled Sumin’s smiling face when she first arrived. The children’s bright faces. They would transfer to the town school, commuting by bus. When she’d first come, her heart had ached. But now, she thought of the children’s hearts. She felt what they felt and understood what they understood.
Eun-seo gazed at the river, contemplating all its memories. Min-jun’s heart. Her heart. Grandmother’s heart. They had all sat by these waters once. They had all sent their hearts down this river’s current. The river remembered every one. That memory was the sound of its flowing. Her heartbeat moved with the river’s voice. The water’s song wrapped around her heart, and her pulse beat in time with its rhythm.
Then she read Min-jun’s letter again. His handwriting embraced her heart softly, and her pulse quickened to match his words. She recalled the moment his hand had held hers. When his hand enclosed hers, she had felt what his heart felt, understood what his heart knew. With the river’s voice, she could hear his voice once more.
Eun-seo watched the river and remembered everything it held. Min-jun’s heart. Her heart. Grandmother’s heart. All of them had once sat upon these waters. All of them had sent their hearts downstream. The river kept those memories. That was the sound of its flow. As she watched, her heartbeat moved with the river’s voice. The water’s song wrapped around her heart, and her pulse danced to its rhythm.
Then she heard Do-hyun’s voice again. The branch school would close. The children would go to the town school, making the daily commute by bus. When she first arrived, Sumin’s laughing face came to mind. The children’s bright smiles. They would leave, traveling back and forth by bus. When she’d first come, her heart had hurt. But now, she thought of the children’s hearts. She felt what they felt and understood what they understood.

She felt what Min-jun’s heart felt and understood it. Her heart beat in time with his.
