The Fate of The Red Thread
*Next day
"What shall i have today?" You say looking into the cabinets.
"Ramyeon." Grabbing the last cup of ramyeon in the cabinet. Last food in general.
"What time is it, what time is it" you say as you finish up preparing your ramyeon.
"Still have time." *You turn on the tv*
Few moments later
"Ramyeon done", you go sit in front of the tv.
*Youre about to change the channel when something catches your attention*
News="The Royal Family announced that the Prince has officially turned the age of his promised year of marriage.
inscructions by his father, the King.
The King had given his good friend of the past, a gold ring that looks like this image here. *Image*
*You look at your hand... and back*
The Royal Family is now on search for the lost Princess, it wont take long for the search of the Princess
considering they have the technology. So let us all, as the citizens of Korea, welcome her when the time comes.
We'll be back wit-"
*You shut it off*
"Mi-Hyun, you werent kidding." You say with a blank look on your face.
"But... promised age? What age is that? .. younger than me? older?..
ah, what should i do?..." You stand looking impatient, thinking.
"i'll wait.. i should get a phone call right? .. ha, technology..... agh, whatever."
*You look at the time* 9;15am
"Omo! .. Ill be late again. I was hoping to go be early today~ .. aish."
*You head to work by bus, a cafe*
-Working at the till
'I see lots of kind of people at work. But the next person I have to serve looks drunk. And the person after him
is hooded, i wonder if he will try to rob this place..'
*Drunk customer orders a coffee*
*You make his order and add just a bit more dark coffee to sober him up.
"Here you go, sir." You say handing the coffee to him.
*He grabs and drinks it in front of you..*
*he throws it at you* "What kund of coffae is dis?!" He asks.
You look at your nice white work shirt, ruined and stained.
As you were about to scream "YAH!", the hooded man grabbed the drunk ahjusshi and dragged him out the door.
The drunk ajusshi was squirming trying to get free of the mans arms. He got out of his arms, but atleast
6 meters away from the cafe.
The hooded man came back in.
'i-is he going to rob me now?' You thought to yourself.
*He takes off his sweater and swoops it over your shoulders, resting his hands on your shoulders for a second.*
He grabs his glasses off with 2 fingers, and says "One coffee, please."
He mutters under his breathe "..agh, cant even have a nice cup of coffee in the city."
'wah~, such a cute face.' You think.
*You stare more.* and then hurriedly make his coffee.
'Havent I seen him somewhere?' 'Who is he?'
As he was about to leave,
"ah! .. sir.. your sweater!" you shout.
*He nods and waves goodbye*
"What? What was that?.."
*Your shift ends at 6;00pm, and youre ready to go home.*
*You walk out the door and see a man with sunglasses on leaning against the wall.*
"ah! sir, your sweater." You it.
You walk over to him and hand it over.
He grabs it and says "Thanks, its designer."
'What a liar' You think to yourself.
You let your thoughts out.
"Liar. It doesnt look like it, it doesnt even feel like it."
Man="How would you know how special designer clothing would feel like? You should go home and
wash out that coffee stain." He says walking away.
"Good luck." He says while getting into a black shiny car with an attendant to open and close the door for him.
'Aish!' You pout. "What is that!?"
You continue to walk home.
While youre in the front of your apartment, you grab the mail.
Opening the door, the door hinges came loose and the door was about to fall.
*You catch the door and put it back to its place.*
"No one will notice." You say as you are arranging the door in its place.
You put down the mail on your little table, spreading it across like a deck of cards.
"Bill, bill, ah-.... whats this address? Do i know it?"
*You open the letter.*
It has a convincing royal seal, and you read on.
"Miss Mi-Hyun. We understand that you will be 23 soon. The age of the promised marriage between the King and
your grandfather. We know of your situations and would like to invite you to the palace this Saturday.
We would like to discuss this long awaited marriage arrangement. A car will pick you up at 3;00pm that day.
Pleasant Regards, The Royal Family."
"What is this? If you knew her situations, you wouldnt have sent this letter.
And what? What situations are you referring to? We were just fine living here."
*You throw it in the garbage.*
'aghh, im hungry.. but ill have to wait till tomorrow.'
*You lay down in your bed, stretching out your whole body*
"Its not night yet, but im tired."
You yawn.
*You look at the picture of you and Mi-Hyun on the night stand by your bed*
"Goodnight, Mi-Hyun."
