Foreword
It was still in the 19th century and it was a lively night for everyone there except for a certain young man in that bar. He was a Korean doll maker who was famous in city of London among the doll lovers and toy manufacture company owner because of his fine work. But ever since his divorce with his wife, his skills and his devotion to his works were decreasing.
“One more” he said as he put down his empty mug on the bar table. His face was flushed because he was drinking alcohol. The male bartender looked at the drunken man with concern as he filled up his drink.
“Sir, I think you should be going home, it’s getting late” said the bartended politely since the doll maker had always coming there to drink.
The twenty-eight years old man just smiled as he finished his drink with one go. He then left without saying a word.
It was already past midnight. The streets were silent and no one was seen walking around there except for the doll maker. ‘London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down’ he sang. His voiced echoed in the streets. The streets were filled with fog and he wasn’t sure if he liked this feelings. But he still kept singing.
‘London Bridge is falling down, my-‘ not yet he finished his singing, there was someone who continued it for him.
‘Fair lady’ sang a man who was wearing a red cloak over his head. The doll maker was surprised to see there was someone there except for him. “Who are you?” asked the startled man.
“Well, like you I’m a fan of dolls and puppets. It’s certainly nice to meet you, sir Kris” said the stranger. Kris gulped nervously. Even though he was drunk, he certainly still knew that he was in danger. “What do you want?” Kris asked rudely.
“I want you to make a doll for me”
“A doll?”
“Yes. I want you to make a male one as a lover of your incomplete one and I’ll pay how you want” said that man. “A lover? How do you know about that?”
“As I said before, I’m a fan of your dolls” said that man as he opened his cloak revealing his face to him.
“My name is Lu Han” he introduced himself. “I want you to make Sehun for me” he said as he showed a picture of him and a man. “I want to give it to him as a birthday present”
“So can you make Sehun for me?” asked that man named Luhan. Kris looked at the picture and then he looked at Luhan.
“Come back in one week’s time” he said as he left with the picture in his hand.
