장  - Hatred
 

It was already early in the morning and the birds were chirping happily, greeting the warm sun in the sky. A tall figure stood on the jeweled dock that looked out at the endless sea of lilies. The flowers had their petals opened, welcoming the warm sunshine rays into their bodies as well as revealing the crystal dew drops that had formed from the morning chill. The tall figure held out a hand and curled his fingers towards him, motioning the water to come towards the dock. As it did, the many fishes of the sea swam up and greeted him.

"Good morning, O' Water God!"

Jun Myeon smiled at them.

"Good morning, my lovely fishes," he greeted them back.

Off in the distance, covered by the many flowers and seafoam, Hana's sleeping body floated. The Water Bride was unaware that she was saved by the many fishes of the sea who had felt her sadness and came to her rescue without the permission of the Water God. They couldn't let her disappear or even die and besides, she is the Water God's bride after all! The fishes all agreed to gently push her body to the shore once the Water God was gone to do his morning greetings to his parents and hoped that one of the younger brother gods would come along and take her.

After being fed their morning rainbow flakes of food by the Water God, the fishes watched him leave. Unfortunately, Jun Myeon had no idea that Hana had disappeared and still thought that she was probably at the Celestial Palace resting. He had decided to pay a visit to the palace and see for himself if she had made it in one piece knowing that the Immortal Celestial Realm had dangerous monsters and animals that could easily kill a mere mortal like her in just one hit. 

"Let's go before he comes back!" One of the large koi fish suggested. 

All the fishes bobbed their heads in a nod and followed the large koi until they had reached the sleeping body of the Water Bride. They could still see her tears gliding down the side of her face and falling into the water, which made ripples in the water that resonated with her heartbreaking sadness. With each ripple, all the fishes could feel her sorrow so much that they had begun to shed their own crystal tears. The larger one gathered beneath her body and the little ones gathered around her sides, swimming her towards the shore while trying their hardest to hold back their tears. As they neared the shore, the fishes left one by one until there was one tiny rainbow-scaled fish left. She gave the body one last nudge and turned around to join the rest as they watched the sleeping Hana float along with the gentle current and land on the shore, her body swaying back-and-forth along to the gentle current in the water. 

It wasn't long until someone had noticed her and came near the shore. From afar, the sea creatures could see that it was the God of all Winds; Sehun. His tall figure stood over the woman and he leaned down, taking her drenched fragile body into his arms. Straighten back up, he looked out at the sea of flowers and saw the many friends that had helped her. He couldn't help but smile to see them all come to her rescue. 

"Thank you.." he whispered.

His quiet words became the gentle breeze that blew across the surface of the sea and reached the fishes. They smiled at the friendly god's words and dipped back down into the water to celebrate with many colorful bubbles at their success. Sehun watched them jump out of the water cheerfully showing off their magical scales before turning around and heading towards the palace, where his older brother was at the moment. He looked down at the girl in his arms and couldn't help but feel the same sorrowfulness as the fishes did when they had helped her. Who knew a mere mortal could go through such pain so powerful that even a god could feel it by holding her.  

"I apologize on behalf of my stupid older brother," he quietly said, his brows dipping in disappointment. "I hope you will find forgiveness in his actions and words."

He decided that if his older brother was going to continue to carry on this childish act towards her, he is not going to sit back anymore and watch. Seeing his brother hurt someone just because of a stupid reason from the aged past was something that could make Sehun summon a horrendous storm of tornados and destroy everything. Looking down at her again, the Wind God could understand why his brother acted in such ways but it was unnecessary because Hana was not the same person as Yeul nor was she the same soul as her. 

Sehun slowed to a stop and breathed out a sigh, the wind picking up at his silent command. In a blink of an eye, the Wind God vanished causing the leaves that were caught in the wind to flutter to the ground in his place. 

Jun Myeon let out a deep sigh and placed his hands on his hips. He had been arguing with his f
