Prologue

One Last Trick

 

My past is mostly just one big haze to me, to say the least. I have small memories which I knew could only set up half of my story. Countless of people have tried to talk to me, to force their way into my mind, and would yell profanities at me when I told them I could recall nothing. Maybe it was because every instance I indulged too much into my own history I found myself clutching my head, fingers digging deep into the scalp: The unbearable pain would only ever stop when I collapsed from exhaustion.


Again though, I did have little snippets of my memory which I had explained to any authority asking for it. It never seemed to help.

I had explained most of my memories were of a boy, who had a name which I’d forgotten, and a face that was blurred to a point I couldn’t even remember the eye color ( I knew it was the same boy though. I just had a feeling.). The boy had constantly handed me tablets which I clearly remember him saying they were ‘Happy Pills’. He had told me throughout my life to take them, and I wouldn’t have to feel guilt or worry over what my commands from the general ( Who ever that was.) were. I can remember being a child and shying away from the pills the moment he handed them to me. I remember seeing someone being shot in the shoulder and then ever since, I had taken those pills. I often questioned;


“Was I the one who shot him?”


I never dared to ask the question allowed. It was not like anyone knew the answer anyway.


Other memories were those right before I had taken another set of ‘Happy Pills’. There was one, that was filled with smoke in my eyes, but I could still remember well. I had been running. A lot of my memories were of running actually, but this time I was on top of a train. I had been chasing after the current mystery boy as the train moved. I think I was having fun. Occasionally one of us would sneak around and steal some food from the customers. It was not like they ever noticed. The memory comes to an end when the boy told me we needed money and I should take another set of pills.

 

Without thinking, I did.

Chapter 6: your teacher is mean!0.0 erasing everything when you had finished your assignment already!
this chapter,though shorter, was good too. I feel sorry that Mir's being bullied brought back awful memories to Joon. But it was well thought and as always, Mir has a soothing effect on Joon's mind. I thought Mir was harsh toward Joon in front of N but he just wanted to protect him by keeping him away tfrom them. Joon was so brave!
I'm glad to hear you've been feeling better lately. and congratularions for entering this special dance highschool! and wow! You're the leader of tour dance group! that's amazing!^^ You seem to have many skills!:)
I'd love to watch videos of your dance group, it seems awesome!
have a great day too and keep up with the good job of feeling better! and my selfish side overtakes me and says: please, try to update soon!^^

Chapter 5: Geez!!! I hope things settled a bit for you! You seemed to have had a very hard time lately and your insomnia are no help, I'm afraid.
Well, you need to take care of you and your relatives first!^^ we'll wait for that story so don't strain yourself too much.

I loved that chapter. Joon's state seems to improve a lot. I'm just a bit worried about his attachment to Mir. He seems like a sponge, absorbing all the feelings Mir feels. This is worrying because I wonder what will be the results when he sees people bullying Mir in school. But his reaction broke my heart when he prayed Thundet and GO not to abandon him because he couldn't read. Poor thing!:(
And I'm also worried about the fact that no one seems aware that Mir is beaten up in school.
You made a chapter here too! I just loved it. this story is one of my favourites.
I hope you'll soon be fine, mama- giraffe!;)

Chapter 4: I'm so glad you updated!^^ you know now, whenever I see a giraffe I think of you!
rather than Joon's mood swing, Mir's surprised me the most. when he was all understanding and patient he suddenly started to react like a spoiled brat. I was worried but then he came and apologise to Joon so I won't hold it against him. then maybe his own impatience has to do with some personal experience. Like you put it: he knows promises can be broken so I suppose he learnt it the hard way which would explain why reacted so harshly toward a pained Joon. I wonder if this has to do with his family or a dear friend. I'm really clueless!
on the other hand I'm quite sure next chapter will be about Thunder who used to be bullied in school.
It's easy to guess cause though he is younger he doesn't go to school.
I hope you did well at your exams and I hope you'll enjoy this program you're joining soon!^^ it's good to brag once in a while. plus: it's hard to get in so you can be proud of yourself, giraffe mama!!
that was again a very pleasant chapter to read!

Chapter 3: hahaha!^^ loved your author's note!
I'm still cheering like crazy after the rose part: a plastic rose! Mir is really smart!;)
I loved their encounter. Joon just seemed to be mesmerized by Mir. who wouldn't: all Joon has ever known is violence and death and here he meets that lovely guy who plays incredible tricks!
G.O. is so sweet. I just wondered if he were in love with Mir. But he has a soft spot for that's for sure. Thunder was so supportive of Mir! But if Seungho is the one who broke Joon down I'm afraid I won't like him much!
thanks so much for the fluffy moment between Joon and Mir! I want more! Look at what you did: now I'm addicted to tour story!

Chapter 2: I loved that chapter!^^ Joon's despair was so moving! He seems so hurt, poor thing!
I can't wait for him to meet Mir!
as for his weapon... well he didn't have much choice, did he?
I think Thunder is very reassuring to Joon and he seems to need this more than ever. G.O. is quite too quiet to be already nailed. Poor Joon has still a long way to go before he manages to be himself again.
