Chapter 18: Ray and Blue Dragon (2)
“Why is the blue dragon crying so much? Do you feel stuffy?”
When I opened the door to the treatment room where Blue Dragon and Sky weree, blue dragon rushed out and stuck to the door of the hospital room.
“Piro Pirong.”
“Let’s not go in because hospitalized patients are sleeping there. Be quiet.”
“Piro Piro!”
The blue dragon wept loudly, stood up on his hind paws, and pushed the door with his front paws.
“You can’t speak that loudly. Do you want to see Ray?”
When his sister asked, Blue Dragon blinked his big eyes as if yes, looked at him and whimpered again and pushed the door. Looking from the back, I can see that the front paws pushing the door, as well as the plump buttocks, hind paws, and the tip of the tail are full of strength.
“What do we do, noona? It looks like Blue Dragon wants to visit Ray?”
“I think they played together a few times when we were at Ray Hospital and we got to know each other. It's okay to showhim, but I'm afraid that Blue Dragon might get sick after doing that again. Even if Rey is seriously injured, his life is not in danger right now.”
Creak! Thump!
“Ah, blue dragon!”
As my sister and I hesitated, the door creaked open, and the blue dragon flopped forward with his two front paws raised above his head. Thud! A small forehead hit the floor.
“Is the kid okay?”
Blue Dragon got up, shook off my hand that was about to hug him, and ran to the hospital room. Looking around the dark hospital room with only low-light night lights on, he found Ray in the hospital room on the first floor and clung to the glass door and peers inside.
“He really was going to go to Ray.”
“What? should i stop him? Can I leave him alone?”
“Noona, don’t worry too much, let’s leave it to Blue Dragon. It seems that his will is clear.”
Ray was sleeping with sap. He had scars all over his head and body, as well as his thighs with sharp suture marks where he had been shaved and his legs in casts. You faught to the end to protect Ji-woo even after being hurt so much. I was very proud of him because I knew how much of a coward he is.
Blue Dragon sat in front of the hospital room, rubbing his cheek against the glass door and groaning. My sister and I stood by the door and watched it, but nothing further happened.
“The horns don’t shine like last time.”
“Yeah, maybe just purring has some effect? Or maybe it’s because we’re watching.”
My sister and I went out of the hospital room and closed the door. But I couldn't stand my curiosity, so I didn't close it completely, but left a little gap. I kept peeking in through the window in the door and the gap in the slightly opened door, but nothing special happened even after a while. Blue Dragon was now curled up in front of Rey's hospital room, lying face down. Are you going to fall asleep there?
I wanted to drink another cup of coffee and go home with Blue Dragon, so I headed towards the water purifier, but my sister whispered from behind.
“Myung-hoon. It's real. His horns are shining.”
I stepped back to the door. Peeking through the crack in the door, I saw a soft glow from the blue dragon's horn.
“I believed what you said because of the sky, but I was still skeptical, but it’s true. It’s really amazing.”
“It’s the first time I’ve ever seen it like this. Last time the light went out as soon as I saw it.”
Inside the dark hospital room, the faint light on the blue dragon's horn looked like a halo shining through the clouds.
It didn't last very long. The horn's light, which had been shining for a while, slowly faded and finally lost its light completely. After a while, Blue Dragon got up, rubbed his head once against the glass door of Ray's hospital room, and then slowly walked towards us. We rushed back to our seats and pretended to be doing something else.
“You holding it upside down.”
Even though Blue dragon can’t read. She still grabbed the magazine upside down and acted like she was reading.
The blue dragon slipped through the gap in the slightly opened door. Peep~ He Clung to the hem of my pants, crying in a low-pitched sound. I quickly grabbed the blue dragon and hugged it. You had so much energy before.
The older sister entered the hospital room and was checking Rey's condition.
“How is Ray?”
“I don’t know yet. He just keep sleeping How about Blue Dragon?”
“He definitely loses his energy after his horns shine. Last time, it was a long, but now it is clear. Before, after taking a deep sleep and eating much more than usual, he was fine. It should be like that again.”
“He’s so different from normal cats, it’s hard for me to do anything, so take him home and put him to sleep. Call me if anything goes wrong.”
Just then, shee got a call from my brother-in-law.
“Yes, honey. I'm going now. Myung-hoon is here, so I'll go together. You don’t have to come.”
Something crazy happened today, and my sister was in the hospital until late at night, so I guess he called because he was worried about her way home. Seriously, the madman should be caught soon. Last time the victim was an old man, this time a child, a man who only targets the weak, a cowardly man.
When I got home, Baek-ho was waiting at the door. As soon as he opened the door, he seemed to have waited a long time for him to come back, he clung to me crying.
“Yeah, did you worry about coming too late? His brother is also very tired. Let’s go to sleep.”
After washing up, Baek-ho and Blue Dragon were already sleeping on the bed. The cushion, which was originally a Baek-ho’s bed, is at the foot of my bed, but after the arrival of the blue dragon, there are more days when he sleeps next to me.
Just like last time, I was afraid that the blue dragon would wake up at night and suck in the feed, so I put a lot more than usual and crawled into the blanket. It feels warm and soft to the touch on the side.
******
Deep blue water, sheer cliffs, and the entrance to an endless cave. I know this place. This is where I stood and waited for the owner of the cave. He is in the invisible water. Can I see him today?
The water split, creating a bigger splash than the last time I saw it. At first glance, a huge blue lantern…
"Ah? Is that dream again?”
I think I only closed my eyes for a short while, but it was already morning. Baek-ho had already woken up and blue dragon laid down by the sunny window, turning over with his front paws and licking it meticulously.
“Piyaang~”
The blue dragon saw me wake up and jumped out of Baek-ho's arms. Seeing him running briskly, his body looks fine. When I looked at the feed bowl, he ate it all without leaving a single grain. Even if you use your healing power, he seems to recover after sleeping well and eating well. I was somewhat reassured.
I called my sister to see how Ray was doing, and she said that she didn't see any noticeable changes, but she ate a recovery meal after sleeping and she seems to be in good shape. thank god.
After filling the cat food bowls and cleaning the toilet, I opened the Internet and found Ray's article.
– A loyal dog who risked his life to protect his young master against a killer with a weapon.
At around 6:50 pm on the 21st, while taking a dog for a walk on the trail in XX park in XX district, 12-year-old Yoon Mo (12) was attacked by an assailant, but his companion dog Ray protected him with his whole body…
I feel good in the morning. I opened a new document happily. I was thinking of writing a story about a hunter that I had been thinking about for a few days. A typical Hunter story is too boring, so I'm going to write it with a modern-day spy feel.
I've tried writing a couple of pages, but strangely, the text doesn't come out well. It's frustrating. It shouldn't be like this from the beginning. The good feeling quickly subsided.
I keep reminding myself of the scene I saw in my dream. Blue water and deep caves, walls of water that stood up on both sides like the Red Sea splitting apart.
“Pi-yah~”
The blue dragon climbs up on my lap and shows his cuteness, and the white tiger also sleeping on my ankles to lie down.
Shall we write a story about dragons and tigers?
