Han Ji Eun walked down to the Mapo Bridge with heavy steps.
The purple bruises on her temples still ached even though she already taken a painkillers.
Her skirt was torn so badly and forced her to wear the sweatpants.
Her mother would scold her because they didn't have enough money to buy a new uniform.Ji Eun was sure that her mother would also beat her with a cane.
His father also definitely wouldn't care about it.He might be drunk somewhere or gambling or maybe both.
The handheld of the bridge shining because of the touch from her hand. Illuminate the words written there.
Do you remember what it felt to be in love?
The sun tomorrow will shine brighter.
The best things in your life are yet to come.
Don't you miss the taste of samgyetang?
The words seemed to be insulting her somehow. She hopes that someday someone will delete it.
Since earlier, something bitter pressed against her throat.
Her chest tightened as she struggled to hold back the tears.No, you can't, she said to herself. Nothing will change even if I cry.
Her memories of school hurt her so much.
She knew that she was an ugly duckling.And then everyday, everyone always calls her with dirty nicknames.
As if, they had the right to beat her on the grounds because they said that she gave them a sore eye.
The teachers at school also seemed to be closing their eyes. Even though they knew what was going on, they only assumed that it was just a prank and a normal activity for teenagers to do.
Being born into a poor family also adds to the array of her problems. She is very grateful just have something to eat every day. Even it's only just a bowl of rice.
Ji Eun even tries to apply somw part-time job, so that at least she can buy books. Reading books was the only consolation for her.But with her overweight body and the dull face, even the restaurant did not want to recruit her because she was considered as slow and unattractive.
Was it I, who asked to be born like this?
Why isn't anything right happening in my life?
Ji Eun's steps grew heavier. What to do?
She didn't want to go home or waking up just to see tomorrow.She wanted to run away.But where?Poor Ji Eun doesn't even have any close family friends or relatives.
At that moment, she turned her head down.
The dark sky was reflected on the surface of the Han River. The wave and depth seemed to calling to that girl.Promising the calmness and comforting vibe for her..
I must be crazy!
But Ji Eun knows that she does.
This life had long drained her sanity.She can't take it anymore. Even if there is happiness tomorrow, she doesn't care.After all, there are still days when everyone will mock her, beat her or ignore her ..
Who is a crazy person who wants to wait for that happiness to come by itself?Ten seconds later, Ji Eun climbed onto the trellis and jumped.
The river water was not as cold as she thought.In fact, it feels warm and so calming.
Even though she started coughing because her lungs were getting in the water, but she didn't regret it at all.The only thing that she regretting is maybe, maybe because she didn't do it sooner.
Seventeen years of futility.Her consciousness began to disappear and a stinging sensation attacked the throat, nose and even her head.
Then out of nowhere, a question emerged from her mind.Is there someone attending my funeral?
āItās done. Young Miss, you can open your eyes, now.ā Maryās voice sound like she was excited. More excited than the bride-to-be. Cecilia saw her reflection in the mirror. She was smiling when said, āThank you, Mary. I like this! You are doing a great job. Like usual.ā āI canāt believe that you will be married this sooner! Young Miss, please be happy forever!ā The purple-eyed girl takes Maryās trembled hand, āThank you, Mary. For everything. I hope you will be happy too.ā But, the poor maids canāt answer because she tried her best to hold her tears. Cecilia handed her a silk white handkerchief with a small giggle, āDonāt cry. People will think that I was going to the funeral.ā āTh-thank you, Young Miss. Itās so.. rare for you. I mean, I mean for bring this cloth.ā āWell, itās Max who taught me to bring any. He said that a noblewoman c
“We were sorry to trouble you.”Max and Cecilia bowed deeply to everyone in that room. Desmond, Gregorio, and Helga didn’t even bat an eye when the young couple confessed. Both of them didn’t wear any makeup anymore. After they know that Grant and Kaleela already spill their secret, the young couple thinks that they have to confess even the project is still ongoing. But, the harm is done and Cecilia didn’t think that she will be forgiven. Helga sighed. No matter how many times she create a scenario to make them felt embarrassed, she didn’t have the heart to prank them. But, the show must go on, “Yes, we understand. Can’t you guys just go home, now? And you don't have to come again.” “Miss Krueger..,” Cecilia’s purple eyes widen and she looks like a puppy. Max pat his fiance's shoulder, “Then, we bid you
Callisto blow his soup slowly before eat it. He like it a lot and has no complaint to eat the same soup for eternally.That young wolf man look in a good mood and it make Chris who eat beside him feel curious, “Did something good happened?”A hint of red colour tinted in his cheek when answered, “My father is getting better.”“That’s good news! Congratulations! You should visit him again this week.” Chris smile widely to that boy.“Yes, I know.” He ate the last spoon before drink water and look at his empty plate. “If you done, I will wash your plate, Sir.”“Okay. Thank you.” Chris said when Calisto’s thin hand took that white plate away.The restaurant’s owner raised his brow as if he remembered something and left the kitchen to his room.When he came back, he put a brown paper bag on the table, “Cal, give it to
Unexpectedly, Desmond nodded and said, “I know.”“HUH?”Helga turned her head withwideneyes. “WHAT?”“I know who they are. But, it doesn’t matter since my axe accepted them.”“Ah, I see. The axe of judgementmust be sense something… How can I forgot about it?” Helga feel her shoulder gotten lighter. As if someone already take the burden that weighed her for all the time. She feeling glad that she choose to talk with her brotherrather thankeeping it by herself. “I’m relieved then. Actually, I’m afraid that you getdisappointedif I didn’t tell you this sooner.”Desm
“Even in my wildest dream, I never though that I can meet with the great magician as you, Miss Kaleela.” Helga said with a friendly smile. Her blue eyes gleaming into something that make Kaleela annoyed. "Welcome to the Frozen Magic Land. I hope you can enjoy your visit in this humble island.” Kaleela crossed her arms, “Long time no see, Krueger. Fifteen years, isn’t it?” “Yes. After the graduation, we separate ways. So, how are you, great magician?” “Please stop being sarcastic. Ah, please let me introduce my husband to you. Grant, this is my underclassmen, Helga Krueger. Krueger, this is Grant.” Helga threw a warm smile to Grant before she looked at that red-headed woman, “I thought you will never get married.” “Things happened.” “Ah, I see. Anyway, the world is narrowe
“Ah, I'm glad that these cookies is still edible! Thanks, Max! You have a sharp sense of smell.” Cecilia said after she put out the fire on the stove. Fortunately, only a bit part of the cookies which already burnt. She put them to the plate to let them cool.“Talk about the smell, I want to make a confession.” Max said after he took a bite of the chocolate cookies. “Actually, the reason why I don't want you to go on the Icicle Island because of the… dog's smell.”Cecilia tilted her head. Tried to remember her encounter with that four legged animal, “I'm not sure if I met any.”“Callisto. He is the one who smell like that.”“Callisto?” Cecilia usually spent some time with him because he work at the restaurant, and she often cooked some food along with Callisto and Chris too.He squeezed her sho
Winter almost left from the Empire. Even tough the sun shines brightly, it didn't mean that it's not cold!The snow still falling from the cloudy sky and everybody still wears long coat when they were outside.Cecilia, takes a sip of her tea in guild's office. Hugo was reading the monthly report, but he can't help to asked her, “It's so rare to see you here, Young Miss. For past three months, Boss and you always go to Icicle every day. Did something happen?”“I don't know. Max told me to rest for this week.”Hugo raised his brow, “Rest?”“But, he wants to have a date with me after he back from there.”“My, he is so weird. Then, what happened to the Icicle? Did the progress of snowman's project doing fine?”Cecilia smile warmly and sip her peppermint tea again, “Yes. To be honest, it's better than the South Island. Max worked really hard and Desmond wasn't bad as I heard
Max almost threw his dagger to Desmond. But, Cecilia stop his movement by holding his hand tightly.With a firm voice, she said, “How can you say something stupid like that in front of my husband?”Cecilia's purple eyes look so intimidating. It never crossed in Max's mind that his little, cute fiancé can act like a brave yet sexy woman like this.“Something stupid?” Desmond knitted his brows before he started laughing. “HAHAHA! My, my. It's seemed you are misunderstanding, Kitten. I'm not into a married woman with acne in her face. In short, you are not my type.”Cecilia didn't drop her guard. She looked as cautious as a wild animal, “Then, what did you mean?”“Cook a dinner for me.”“What?”“Huh?”The young couple exchange their glance and wondering if they heard it right.“Yesterday, we catch so many rabbits, and I'm so tir
Cecilia carefully holding the old hunchback man's left arm when they are walking on the frozen road. “Please be careful, Mr. Grande. It is a bit slippery.”The old man nodded and walking more slowly. His hand, which holding on wooden cane, trembling slightly. “Thank you for helping me, Dear.”“It's nothing, Sir.” She replied it with smile.Max, who walked beside her, took a glance on his fiancé. Never crossed in his mind that the fictional name is really existed.Mikaela Montgomery used to be working on the coal factory. That building already abandoned for a long time and that poor woman was dead because of disease.This old man, Derek Grande, remember her as a kind and an energetic underling. She was gone when she was 20. Then, Derek kindly tell them the location of her graveyard.Cecilia let out a heavy sigh and wondering what kind of expression she has to wear on this man who lo
