Move Away
Make It BetterIt's a hot afternoon and the city is bustling with people trying to get home or make it to work.
No one stops or cares to look around, they are in a hurry to be on schedule.
The humidity is taking a toll on some people as they start arguing over small issues or reply someone more harshly than needed.
Near the bustling city streets is a forest that everyone has steered clear from during this season because of the outbreak of various insects.
However, this doesn't stop one man from entering the forest and wheeling his way to his favorite pond deep into the forest.
Kwon Jiyong, a cripple, doesn't let his many injuries or falls stop him from going into the forest during this weather.
The heat from the steel wheels on his wheelchair, being repeatedly rubbed on by his hands, make his hands ache and create red angry blisters on them.
But he doesn't stop. The lake is where he can have peace and be inspired.
He finally reaches it.
He pulls away the scarf that was covering his face and slowly crawls down from his wheelchair. He dips his scarf into the cool water then wraps them around both his hands.
He stays like that for a while, laying on his stomach, looking ahead at the scenery before him while his hands calm down.
He removes the scarf and pulls his legs together to sit on the floor.
The sun is the strongest at this hour but Jiyong bathes in it. He doesn't bother shading himself.
How long has it been since I last felt the suns' warmth? He thinks.
He takes out his notebook and starts writing whatever was coming into his mind. He is in an incredibly good mood so he sings to himself as he writes down a story between two love birds and their offspring.
He looks at his watch and realizes he has to go back.
"Tch!" He clicks his tongue in disappointment.
He shuts his book, pulls himself over the wheelchair and starts pushing backwards towards where he came from.
He has difficulty moving in steeper areas but manages it and gets back to the city again.
The grey, dull city.
He quickly rolls the wheels to get to the disability support center.
The gates are closed so Jiyong goes towards the backside and gets through the guards' quarters into the center.
Bribery works really well with guards.
"Jiyong, where were you?" His caretaker asks, her voice was filled with worry but her demeanor was uncaring.
He hates her.
He smiles and says he was just walking around the centers' gardens.
"You are not allowed there! How could you go there?"
"Ask others not
