The Abyss Between Us: A Tale Of Cursed Love

Who are you , Kim Eun Joeng asked suspiciously as he had seen this man always looking at him from the window.

At first he had thought it was just his illusion but as time went by this guy made it more and more obvious that he was going around spying on Eun Joeng.

M...me beggar .... The suspicious nim said...

If you are a beggar , why are you here , no one gives you anything here , Eun Joeng asked again as he knew fully well this guy never asked for anything and just stared at him for the whole day.

The suspicious nim remained silent ,he was shivering , from his eyes it looked like he was about to cry , he couldn't look at Sun Joeng , and kept looking down like he was afraid of meeting his eyes...

If you don't tell me now ,.I will kill you right here , Eun Joeng said again threatening to kill the man .

Why are you here....

I... I come everyday to see you... The suspicious nim answered with an inexplicable expression on his face , like he was afraid but also relaxed at having said what he was hiding.

Why ..... Eun Joeng investigated...

B..be...bb..bbbb...bbbb

What , are you a sheep ,why can you talk , tell me quickly or i will slit your throat right here... Eun Joeng yelled angrily to threaten Gamja further.

Gamja got scared and shivered taking a step back from him , he looked down with a frightful expression on his face and sighed before saying

It's Beca...because you are beautiful...

On hearing the words from the beggar Eun Joeng got angry clenched his fists into a ball , he got up from his seat and was about to punch the man ,when suddenly someone caught his hand and stopped him...

Sir , don't dirty your hands by touching this low born , the man besides him said ....

Eun Joeng jerked the man's hand away and walked out from there...

How dare you say something like that .... The man yelled and slapped Gamja across the face ....

Gamja wanted to say something but the man cut him and said...

Listen you madman , i don't care who you are or what you do or who you work for , if I ever find you lurking around here again , i will kill you....

Gamja shut his mouth and the two men dragged him out of the building .....

What did I say wrong ,i just answered the question he asked me ... Gamja thought pouting and walked away from there dejected...

On the other hand Eun Joeng was sitting in his office in the chair , clenching his fists while his eyes were bloodshot ..

Sir , we threw that madman out and also gave him a warning .... The man from before reported...

Okay , he answered and the man went out of his room...

When will people stop reminding me of my ugliness ,will they ever see me as a person without looking at my ugly face even a beggar called me ugly today and I could not do anything about it but..but I can never do anything about people who call me ugly , after all my face ... My body ,I am so ugly everywhere ...my friends from childhood always called me beautiful with a mocking voice and laughed at me , why did God made me so ugly, so unlikable , so so so unsightly, he thought about all the people who had called him beautiful over the years making fun of him and laughing at him , the miseries that this ugly face brought him , the things he had to hear because of his face .

It was late in the evening , when the time came he got up from his seat and walked home , home was it really one , he didn't know but what could be do , it was the only place he could go even if he didn't want to.

As soon as he went home he saw his family discussing something serious , he went near them and asked..

What happened, is everything alright ...

Come son, sit here , his mother said gesturing him to sit besides his younger brother...

What happened mother ... He asked again...

Do you know ,you were rejected by another girl for marriage today ...his father stated in an annoyed and disgusted voice...

Don't worry, if she rejected it then we will send the proposal of his marriage to some other girl... His mother said in a low voice...

Do you think , there is anyone in this world who would want to marry an ugly person like your son ,his father yelled ...

His ugliness has become a taint on our family , i can't understand how can he be so ugly when both his younger brother and sister are so beautiful ... Eun Joeng lowered his head and looked down on the ground hearing his father spit all the hate on him as he was hearing these words for the infinite number now...

It would have been better if he would have died before being born atleast he would not have been a taint on our family... Even beggars are more handsome then him..
