White Lantern

Description

ChangSun is a young bussiness man who lost everything in a poker night and who's been thinking of himself as worthless since then. One night, he decides to end up his life and goes to the bridge, ready to jump. But something hits him before he could do anything, and that something will make him see life on a different way.

 

CheolYong is a single father who is doing all he can to raise his son well. He owns a small stable with his brother where he is taking care of horses and teaches how to ride it to children. Unfortunately, the family's bussiness is not doing so good anymore and they hardly pay the bills at the end of every months.

 

On the night of the Lantern Festival, which occurs every years in Seoul on May 19th, CheolYong decides to take his son there, hoping to have some precious time with his 4 years old boy.

 

How can a simple night change your entire life?

 

I know I am currently on hiatus for all my stories and I SHOULDN'T start this now (and I'll be uploading another story tomorrow... aishh) but I just had to get this out of my mind! Hope you enjoy! ^^ I got that idea after watching ''The Lucky One'' :D

 

Thanks to

for the awesome poster and background! They're really cool :D!

Foreword

The Lantern Festival was only starting but already hundreds of people were pressed one again another, making it difficult to move around or to look at the show that was going on just in front of all of them. Parents were lifting their kids on their shoulders so they could not miss anything and the amazement in their eyes was worth it.

 

CheolYong did the same with his son. He lifted the 4 years old boy as high as he could and the light giggled that came out of the tiny boy’s mouth was all it took for the young father to smile.

 

‘’Daddy, daddy! Where is our lantern?’’

 

The innocent boy’s question made CheolYong giggled too, knowing there was no way he could find their own flying lantern among all of the thousands small lights that were illuminating the night sky.

 

‘’I don’t know ChinHo! Search for it!’’

 

‘’But it’s too hard!’’ the small child whined.

 

‘’Then I guess it’s gone forever.’’ CheolYong told his son, adding. ‘’But you know what? It doesn’t matter!’’

 

‘’Wae!? I wanted to take it home!’’ ChinHo complained.

 

‘’Remember what we wrote on the lantern, baby! Think about it, if someone finds it, it might help him to go through hard time!’’

 

Even though any other child could care less about helping a random stranger, CheolYong knew his son wasn’t like any other child. Sure, every parent in the world would say that, but ChinHo really was different. At only 4 years old, he was already more generous than most of grown up people, always ready to help his dad or whomever needed it.

 

‘’Really?’’ the boy asked, his eyes glistening at the thought.

 

‘’Really!’’

 

‘’Can it change somebody’s life?’’ the kid questionned, full of hopes.

 

‘’Maybe it will, Chinho-ah! Maybe it will...’’

Chapter 1: This first chapter kind of depressed me. Poor Mir! So much to handle! And giving up on one's dream is really hard. And they have such a harsh life!
Anyway that's very well written, it was a pleasure to read this first chapter!

Chapter 1: Nice job whoever did the poster!
I think this first chapter has a very nice way to introduce us to the atmosphere and context of your story, as well as including all the hardships of such a lifestyle.
Take your time, I'll be waiting =)

Ahhh~ what a precious beginning. It's refreshing to read Mir as the single father, why does it always seem like only Joon could have ever had with a female to acquire a child? Hopefully you'll find sometime to start this one soon, I'll be waiting patiently for it ^-^
