Chapter 26: Morning by the River
Eunseo spent a quiet morning at her grandmother’s house. As she gazed out the window, she saw the warm sunlight of morning casting a gentle glow over the village. The river’s gentle current flowed softly, and the trees along its banks swayed in the breeze. The serene scene brought a sense of peace to Eunseo. She stood there, lost in thought, recalling her conversation with her grandmother the day before. Her grandmother’s heart condition and the need for medication had left Eunseo’s mind reeling.
Eunseo turned away from the window and headed to her grandmother’s room. Her grandmother was already up, preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Eunseo helped her grandmother with the meal. As they worked, her grandmother asked if she had any plans for the day. Eunseo mentioned that she was thinking of visiting Kang Min-jun’s pottery studio. Her grandmother responded with a warm smile.
After finishing breakfast, Eunseo made her way to Kang Min-jun’s studio. When she arrived, she found him already hard at work. As she watched him, she thought that the river’s gentle flow seemed to be reflected in his heart. Kang Min-jun caught her eye and smiled. Eunseo observed his pottery, sensing the deep emotions that went into his craft.
Together, they strolled along the riverbank path. The sound of the river and the scent of pottery filled the air. Kang Min-jun shared stories about his work, and Eunseo listened intently, trying to understand his heart. He showed her his pottery, and Eunseo was captivated by the pieces. The pottery seemed to embody Kang Min-jun’s emotions and the gentle flow of the river.
At one point, Kang Min-jun asked Eunseo, “Why did you throw those pottery shards into the river?” Eunseo’s eyes dropped, and she fell into thought. She replied, “I wanted to understand my own heart. I wanted to empty my mind and become one with the river’s flow.” Kang Min-jun smiled, his eyes conveying his emotions amidst the sound of the river.
Eunseo continued to observe Kang Min-jun’s pottery, trying to grasp the emotions behind his work. His craft seemed to be an extension of his heart, with every movement of his hands resembling the gentle flow of water. As they walked along the riverbank, the sound of the river and the scent of pottery filled the air. Kang Min-jun shared more stories about his work, and Eunseo listened, trying to understand his heart.
Their conversation repeated, with Eunseo asking Kang Min-jun, “Why did you throw those pottery shards into the river?” Kang Min-jun’s response remained the same: “I wanted to express my heart, to have someone understand me.” Eunseo listened, trying to comprehend Kang Min-jun’s emotions, as his pottery and hands seemed to convey his inner world.
Please note that there seems to be a significant amount of repetition in the original text, with similar conversations and scenes being repeated multiple times. I have translated the text as is, but in a typical editing process, such repetition would likely be reduced or reworked to improve the narrative flow.
