Clear Boy

03.

Suddenly, I became a superstar. Even though I wasn't an idol. After proving that I could really stop the rain, I became the center of attention wherever I went. Girls who wrote to me out of the blue, saying they'd liked me for a long time, guys who had actually liked me for a long time, teachers who weren't close to me who asked, "Can you really stop the rain?" Oh, yes... I really do. At first, I answered excitedly, but I gradually got tired of that kind of life. I couldn't sleep at all.

I wonder if heroes got this much attention at first. Well, those people had more power than me... How do you compare my abilities to telekinesis or super strength? It's just stopping rain. That's what I thought later. This kind of thing isn't as bad as I thought. The more other people made a fuss about it, the more I realized that I wasn't that great. It was ironic. Guys, I just stop rain. I can't use rain or anything. Just, rain... A voice I couldn't make lingered in my head. Shut up. What's the point of talking about this? The kids were already talking excitedly among themselves about me. I couldn't tell if they were compliments or gossip. At the same time, the number of fights I got into increased. Some kids liked me and thought I was strange, but others teased me, saying I was a weird kid.

A typical example is the boy who picked a fight with me that day. He would find fault with anything I did. He must be a very capable person. Hey, don't you have any other abilities? That's all? At first, I got mad, but now even those fights don't bother me. It's gotten to the point where I can just throw a tantrum. Hey, eat some taffy. Can't you even do that? When I said that and laughed, he got mad instead. It was funny. Why on earth would he pick a fight he couldn't win?

That was a mistake. I took the trouble I was getting into too lightly. At first, he would come alone, but he gradually came with a group. He was doing all sorts of things. When I ignored him and lay down to sleep, he would grab my shoulder and pull me down. Hey, do it like yesterday. While laughing. I felt sick when I fell over in my sleep. Ah… My tailbone hurts. I rubbed my sore eyes and said nonchalantly. Get out of here. I’m tired enough without you. I got up slowly and lay down again. Then I felt a dull pain in the back of my head.

""...ah.""

He hit me with his fist. Only then did I wake up. Is he hitting me right now? My thoughts stopped for a moment. Then my head spun quickly. How am I going to kill that little brat? It’s been a while since I’ve felt this way. It’s annoying that you keep poking at me, but this is good. I’m going to end it here. As soon as I finished organizing my thoughts, I threw a punch. Compared to my small body, my punch was quite sharp. The boy who fell down clutching his chin groaned. Then, the group behind me all rushed at me. I got hit back as many times as I swung my fists. Those deadly brats. Are you going to attack me with your bare hands? Even as I thought that, I didn’t stop punching. My anger grew stronger and stronger.

When the pint was cut off, thunder and lightning struck the sky. It was a moment that fit the phrase, “lightning out of the blue,” even though it wasn’t raining at all. It was strange. I didn’t notice. My head was filled with the thought that I had to somehow control them. A torrential downpour came down from the sky where thunder and lightning struck. Everyone hurriedly closed their windows to the sudden downpour, but it wasn’t enough to block it. It was a real storm. The windows rattled and shattered. Sharp shards of glass scattered on the floor.

That meant a terrible storm had blown up behind me. And that was from the moment my pint went out. The kids who had been attacking me were all startled by the sudden change in weather. What, what is that? My eyes were spinning and I didn’t even realize that the weather was like that. Well, since I was the one who did it anyway, they probably wouldn’t have been surprised. While everyone was freaking out, I punched them again. That was my last fight. I didn’t lose. It was a clear victory, but the kids who were looking at me had fear in their eyes. It rained heavily while I was fighting. If you ask how much it was, it almost caused a flood. That’s about it. And how much thunder and lightning there was. I heard later that they thought the sky was ending.

As soon as I finished the fight, the weather cleared up as if it were a lie. I looked around to catch my breath, and everyone was pale. What, why are you looking at me like that... It's not like you've seen me fight once or twice. I frowned.

""what.""

"".....""

""Is this your first time seeing them fight?""

As soon as I spoke, all the gazes fixed on me dispersed. No one spoke to me. The annoyingly tangled gazes were gone. My spine tingled. I felt it instinctively. I did something wrong. I knew right away that it wasn’t because of the fight. I slowly raised my gaze and looked up at the sky. I saw a broken window. I could also see the rain splashing through the gap. The sky was shining with sunlight as if it had always been that way. It was… raining. My head, which usually didn’t work, started spinning.

04.

A third-rate drama-like development unfolded in my life. In an instant, the hero became a villain. The hands that had been praising me as great began to gather one by one and strangle me.

That guy is a monster. He made it rain last time because he was angry. We almost died. He said there was almost a flood? That monster. I couldn't believe that I did that. If I had known he had that ability in the first place, I would have stayed quiet. Who would have thought it would rain based on my mood? I wanted to scream that I didn't. I really wanted to explain that I didn't know. But I couldn't. Whenever I tried to talk to him, he avoided me. He didn't listen. He always called me a monster when he was interested. Now, now. My eyes stung with emptiness.

Soon after, my parents were called to school. All my abilities were revealed. My parents, Beomgyu... how could that be? They looked at me with eyes of disbelief. It was as if they were looking at a monster. Mom, Dad. I'm nothing special. Just a little. A little special. After the interview with the teacher, I grabbed my parents. I didn't know that would happen. I really didn't know that you had such an ability. My parents shook my hands without saying anything. I couldn't look them in the eye. I knew what kind of look they were giving me even without looking. I was suspended from school. The excuse was for hitting kids. No matter how stupid I was, I knew the real reason. It must have been scary. It would be noisy to have a kid with an unknown ability at school. Why should I do that? I wanted to argue, but my parents stopped me. I hadn't said a word since the interview, but I thought I could hear them telling me to please stay still.

Reporters came to my house. The apartment was noisy. Researchers came by often. My parents said they had the wrong people and sent them all away. I just stayed in my room. I couldn’t even make a sound. No matter what I tried to say, my parents ignored me. It seemed like it was hard to face them. I’m not really a monster. Suddenly, tears came to my eyes. It felt like the whole world had turned into an enemy. I was only in middle school at the time. I was too young to be pointed at and called a monster. There was no way I could go back to the school I was suspended from. My parents said they were going to transfer me. When they told me, my bags were already packed. All I had to do was get ready to leave. To another town far away from here. Alone.

""My uncle will visit often. He will also send me living expenses..""

"".....""

"It's a good school, so study hard."

"".....""

""Don't ever go around talking about your abilities there.""

"".....""

"Huh? Beomgyu"

Ordinarily. Without anyone knowing, like a dead mouse. Live like that. Without anyone getting hurt. I laughed out loud when I heard those words. Harm. Harm... What kind of harm did I cause? Was there anyone hurt by my ability? Was there anyone who died? There may have been people who fell over in shock, but I don't think anyone was harmed. In this situation, it was obvious that I was the one who got hurt the most. I clenched my teeth.

""You're fucking around.""

""..what?""

""They're all fucking around.""

Mom and Dad's eyes widened. It was hilarious.

""What are you talking about now?""

""Damage? What kind of damage?""

"".....""

"If I'm annoying, tell me I'm annoying."

""..Beomgyu.""

""Everyone said that? They called me a monster.""

"".....""

""That's what I thought in the end. Mom and Dad too.""

Okay, then. Just shut up and live quietly like you want. Without anyone knowing. Without anyone knowing that Mom and Dad are my parents. That's what you want. Because I don't want to be a bother for no reason. My parents grabbed my hand in a hurry. Beomgyu, that's not it... They coldly pushed my hand away. This situation was so disgusting that I thought I was going crazy.

"If you were afraid of being pointed at..."

"".....""

"You should have just thrown it away."

"".....""

"It's more frustrating to play like this."

Everyone was overdoing it. All I wanted was for the rain to stop. Before I knew it, tears were flowing. I got annoyed and wiped them away. I left the house with my already packed luggage. There was no coming back. Mom and Dad had abandoned me. I had been abandoned. Shit. Swearing came out of my mouth. The sky was raining right on time. This was crazy. How did they know I was in a bad mood? It wasn't the same storm as before.

Slowly and steadily, the sky was crying for me.
