The Abyss Between Us: A Tale Of Cursed Love

The boy blushed at the compliment and looked down shyly...

After sometime when Kai completely got out of shock and exhaustion ..he looked at the boy and asked..

Why are you wearing these worn out clothes .. don't you have better clothes to put on , these might be uncomfortable ...

No ,no these are really comfortable and this is uniform for my work ,our buisness would not run if we don't wear these clothes.. the boy stated looking at Kai...

What buisness do you run looking like this .. Kai asked weirded out...

We are beggars if we put on nice clothes people will think that we are rich and would not give us anything so wearing these clothes is really important for begging... the boy replied ...

What ,are you a beggar.. Kai screamed horrified ..

Yes ,this is a very nice buisness , we get food , clothes ,money and every other nessecity for free ..the boy replied again calmly...

Kai got shocked thinking oh god , what's wrong with me ,how can I be with beggars what's happening..

Kai was about to ask the boy something more when the boy said..

Tomorrow is our community's meeting and we will see what they say about you , actually you were picked up by me and my friend so you will be staying with me for tonight it's already late so get some sleep I also have work tomorrow morning ,okay.. sleep well and tell me if you need anything.. the boy said and laid down on the floor closed his eyes...

Are you going to sleep like that ... Kai asked looking at the boy who laid down on the cold floor without any bedding or anything...

Yes ,now sleep .. we will talk more tomorrow.. the boy replied and went to sleep..

In the morning Kai woke up and saw the boy was already ready to go out after washing his face Kai and the boy went out of the room and went to the place where the meeting of the beggar community was being held , they asked Kai to stand infront of them and started asking him questions...

What is you name ,an elderly beggar asked..

Kai ... he answered..

Where do you live...

Seoul..

What do you do ...

If I tell them I was a thief they will probably handover me to police so..

I work for a very reputed company of Seoul ...

The elderly beggar got up from his place and said ...

Our doctor is not here at this moment he has gone to see the chief of our community in another village and as soon as he comes back we will have him treat this young man's brain since he doesn't know his name and where he came from and is probably going through the shock of this all we as responsible members of this community take the decision that he will live and work with us till his memory comes back...

My brain is alright I am not mad , I don't know how this happened but I am from future , you can call this time travel ..so i don't need a doctor... Kai screamed but no one paid attention to him and another beggar spoke up..

So elder what are we going to call him untill his memory comes back..

Why don't you understand I don't need doctor I need a magician or something who will take me back to my time and ...and I am reputed person I will not live with you ... Kai screamed again..

I know this young man is in a very bad state now and his brain doesn't work well now and it will be really hard to take care of him but I want to ask my beloved and merciful community members who is willing to take care of him... the elder asked..

Yes ,yes I will take care of him, I will take care of my hyung , the boy said looking at Kai with stary eyes..

I don't need care I am not a patient i don't need anyone's care please ,I need a magician.. Kai said looking mad ..

Yes ,yes hyung i will get a magician for you ,I know you don't need a doctor..the boy said looking at Kai with twinkling eyes while patting his arm..

So it's decided .. the elderly beggar said..

Then what are we going to call hyung from now on .. the boy asked again..
