The Crying Maiden
Forever LoveShe stared at the beautiful full moon outside her window.
She walked towards the window.
She smiled bitterly with tears in her eyes.
My name is Hyunah. Kim Hyunah.
I'm the only daughter and youngest child of my family.
My father is well-known in the town.
My mother is known as the "Undying Beauty"
My brothers are serving the king in the military.
How can I not be proud of my family?
But…
All these 16 years of my existence, I had lost so many things.
People around me are keep saying the same things over and over again.
"You're so lucky to be born in the Family of Kim"
"How I wish I were you."
"Beauty and wealth, You will never suffer from hardships."
These people don't know how many things I had lost in my life.
I envy my brothers who had the chance to study and get their hands on book.
I envy my brothers when they could write beautiful calligraphy with good words.
I envy the other girls who can go out and play with their friends.
And me?
I could only walk by. I could only stare. I could only watch them with teary eyes.
Yes, I could buy anything that I wanted.
But there is only one thing I really want now.
Knowledge.
Dear Moon,
I'm telling all these to you.
Now, can you do me a favour?
Please grant this wish of mine.
Please send someone to help me.
She finished her sentence in tears and closed her eyes. Please...
