Star Light ★ Star Bright

Description

 

As a sub conscious master of the art of psychological repression, the answers Sukyi yearns to uncover slowly lead her through a journey across borders where she will soon learn that everything she hoped to discover had been hidden among the stars all along. From relative certainty to questionable reality, the blurred distinctions of her bloodline bring her to doubt every aspect of her existence in a bittersweet struggle for undeniable truth.

Foreword

 

“Star light star bright,

The first star I see tonight,

I wish I may, I wish I might,

Please grant the wish I wish tonight.”

 

                It was cold and uncomfortable in the dark single room apartment as I sat, crouching close to the window with the curtains drawn out. I was scared, but something else about this particular fear kept me from crying out in endless tears. Maybe it was the hopeless, inevitable thought that I would never escape, that no matter how much I struggled and screamed I would still be stuck in here—with her. As rain trickled down the dusty windowpane, my neck stayed in its craned position, holding my head up for a good look at the moonless night sky above me. After reciting what my brother had told me was a ‘magic spell’ I had almost forgotten the most important part—the wish. In no louder than a soft whisper, inaudible to the middle aged woman fast asleep before me sprawled out on the cold wooden floors I sighed,

                “I wish to forget.” There wasn’t much to my only desire. She told me they had left me, that they didn’t want me and never loved me. She promised she’d care for me, and told me that from now on I would be called Shin Sukyi. My eyes locked on the brightest star in the sky. I remembered my brother telling me it was named Polaris, or something of similarity. Even after making my wish, my heart ached knowing it was not exactly what I wanted. My parents, my brother… I cringed as my mind read my new name in a crystal clear voice and shuddered as a gust of wind breezed through the crack under the door remembering the words that the woman repeated to me when she was still awake.

They don’t want you.

They don’t love you

There was no use trying to escape back to people who had already given up. Lee Sukyi is dead. It was too late anyway. She said that we were leaving Korea as early as tomorrow morning. As I closed my eyes and rolled into a tighter ball to retain body heat I chanted my new name in my head until it felt almost natural to my tongue.

                At that time I didn’t know the complexity of the wish I had made, but because all I wanted was to forget, that was exactly what had happened. Over a decade later, I had somehow allowed my mind to accept my new reality.

A/N: This fanfic is dedicated to my unnie, Jenn ^^ My first fanfic of 2012 to kick start the new year! I'm also working on Confessions of an Anorexic but it's a pretty depressing fanfic so I want to have another fanfic to focus on as well (even though this plot so far is also quite depressing). Please support my newest fanfic Star Light Star Bright featuring members of B2ST and U-KISS (and even Super Junior)! The updates will start off slow because I'm still caught in my exam period. Oh and to clarify, the little excerpt in the forewords is a recap of the past (around the time the main character was 4~5 years old^^)

Chapter 10: Holy cow, you're a wonderful writer! I loved your choice of words and your style:) I wish this fic was longer and maybe Sukyi and Yoseob could've started something..I also wish there was more back story on exactly how and why Sukyi got kidnapped and/or sold.
