The Boy of Pure Palace
Torn Between Both WorldsI sat under the tree resting my sore back against its hard but calming trunk
and waited for the person to get out. Not long after I pretended to shut
my eyes, a small boy appeared and tip-toed out until
I yelled, "A-Ha!"
"You are as weird as everybody says you are!", he responded.
Of course, it hurts me that people pass rumors about me...but
my tears rolled down faster the more I thought about such
frippery. My heart is very fragile and I'm not very wealthy but
my father got a new job now so it is a step ahead for us.
"A-aa-h! Why are you crying?!" he was surprised and worried.
As soon as I got a better view of him, I knew exactly who he
was. Lee Donghae who was also known as
Lee Troublemaker.
He would ring the bell of my neighbors and they would get
angry and he would run away until he was caught.
He actually rung my bell once and he got caught by my father.
But he wasn't angry, he invited him for dinner and there
was an awkward silence at the dining table. I was behind the wall
eavesdroppping.
Donghae was very popular with ladies and teachers. He was
very clever and smart yet he was very active and therefore making his
character a troublemaker. But everyone around him loves this dude.
He's sweet but he always gets in trouble all the time but he is a good
person but right now, I'm really sad he blurted that.
He walked towards me slowly clutching on the sack of his satchel. He
then pulled out a white handkerchief and started dabbing on my
soaked cheeks.
"You're pretty and when you cry, the beauty fades like the bright
sun and the gray clouds that trespass."
He made me feel better but after that, I felt strange. Like good
but at the same time shy at the sight of his brown eyes.
After that, he said his last farewells and scurried off to ring
on Cho Bae Rin's bell.
