Past And Present

The Beauty And The Poor

 

"You Can't Avoid What's Coming To You Tomorrow. Even If You Close Your Eyes There's No Way" - Baekho

"Yah let go of my son!"

"Mom!!!" Grasping the tears in my eyes, I tried to reach out to my mother

"What are you gonna do to stop me?" The wealthy man smirked, he grabbed my shirt and pushed me far away from her, burning my knee on the shiny tiled floor

"I'll do anything..just leave Jonghyun alone" She looked so pitiful begging

"Heh really?" He his guards to grab him a bucket and a sponge, he threw the sponge on the ground pointing at the floor

"Be my maid and clean this mansion, and I'll let him go"

"Yes sir.."

"Uh Uh~, call me master"

"Yes..m-mast..t.."

"SAY IT!" He kicked my mom’s arm causing her to agonize in pain

"MOM!!!" Reaching out to her was no good. The guards clenched their hands onto my arms, struggling to hold me down.

"Y..es.. M.m.master" She  bowed down to him like he was a king

"There, now that wasn't hard wasn't it?" He bent down and playfully smacked her on the cheeks

He ordered the guards to take me out

"What? Without me? How can he survive??!" Mother shouted as she held onto the wealthy guy's leg

"He'll find a way, I'll give him a shelter" He smirked and turned to me, I felt scared yet angry

"Jonghyun.." Mother cautiously crawled through the boss, by the time she reach me, the guards unhanded me and I ran to her trying to lift her up

"I'm sorry I can't go with you... It either we both suffer or one of us suffer alone" She reached into her pocket and took out 1,000,000 won ($1,000)

Make sure this money last you for a year or so; then find a job. Make me happy...be strong and don't let anyone push you around"

"Mother" I nodded repetitively, crying and struggling to reply to her

"Ok enough mushy stuff let him go" The boss separated us from each other’s presence. The guards clenched their hands around my arms and dragged me that I couldn't keep up to walk by myself

"Goodbye Mom.."

"Good bye J -"

"I said no more mushy stuff! Hurry and clean up!" The last sight I saw from that place was his smirk when he kicked the sponge in my mom’s face

The rain poured continuously through the dark clouds, the guards took me to this small shelter "Ok this is the place" Both of them sniggered at each other and threw me inside like a garbage bag. They closed the door and left me observing the place, the place was how can I say it, . There were mouses creeping around, water leaking from the ceiling and to make it more uncomfortable, a ripped up a couch. The place stank like a skunk who released it's leaving but what am I going to do about it. This is the only place I have left to call myself home.

Curled up into the corner of the room saying my last words before I fall asleep "I miss you mum..goodnight"

 

Morning has risen, the sun shone through the rusty windows which made me wake up

I groaned while twisting and turning, soon I realize that mom wasn't here by my side anymore

"MOM!" I stood up and scanned around the place

'That's right...I live here now' Smiling though my sadness wasn't easy for me to do, I have to make her happy and be a strong person for her

"Now let's begin"

 

6 years later...

*sigh.."Well this is boring" I got up from lying on the steep hill and went off to the convenient store

 

6 years of coping  myself wasn't easy. I had to train myself to make me stronger, taking clothes from rich people's rubbish bags that they don't even wear in their daily basis. I had to make my home more like a place that is comfortable rather than the burrow they first threw me in. Everything I've been through didn't bother me but rich people. After they tortured my mother they make me sick, they think they can do anything because they have the money and wealth to do so.

*door squeaks

"Ah welcome JR" The manager bowed to me, I politely bowed back and smiled

"We have a special sale today! 3 loaf of bread for 2,000 won!"

"Cool. I'll get those then" I still have mother’s money from 6 years ago, saving it as I go and using it for my health. As I left the store I heard screaming from an elderly man

"Go away you little hoodlums" He waved his stick around to scare the teenagers which I assume were wealthy, but a merely stick didn't scare them. The teens grab his stick and snapped it in half while laughing out loud

"You son of a -" I ran to them and pushed one of them away from the old man

"What the hell was that for?" The guy with the fluffy coat stood up and pushed me back

"You think you don't know? Apologize to the elder!" As I tried picking the old man up the grabbed my collar and punched me on the face. I ignored the pain on my face and continued helping up the elder sit down on a bench.

"Hey what's the deal? Fight me back or are you are coward?" He was just pushing his luck

"My turn" I smirked and ran towards him, tightening my fist and punched up his chin. While he was still standing like an idiot I clenched my fist again and punched his stomach 

He fell backwards causing the others helping him up "Now..who's next?" I moved forward a meter or 2 cracking my knuckles, "Erhhh..nevermind!" They ran away with their boss 

I headed back to the old man "Are you okay?" Placing my arm around his back and the other supporting his arms "I can't walk properly without my cane" He muffled under his breath

"I'll fix it, sit here for a while and I'll be back" I brightly smiled at him, I collected the broken pieces and came back to the convenient shop to buy super glue. I came out and glued the stick together until the pieces fit perfectly

"Thank you young man what can I do in return?"

"Don't worry about giving anything back" We waved at each other to say our final goodbyes. Turning our backs at each other I stretched my arms while walking "Far out that was tiring.. I think I'll head off home"

 

"ARGHH I don't get why we have to come here Ren oppa!" From the distance I heard a girl squealing over some crap, I came over to have a look.... And it's none other than a rich spoiled brat with this tomboy girl?

"Yah." I grabbed his shoulder and the blonde pony tailed person turned this way and...

'....oh wow it's a boy' I walked passed them like nothing happened and continued to head home

"Oh hey a bumble poor idiot!" The words echoed in my head making me stop in my tracks

I walked back to that girl with a glare "Yah. What did you just call me?"
