The Abyss Between Us: A Tale Of Cursed Love

Chapter 5: Beggar



One month later:-

Kai is sitting on the sidepath with a beggar's bowl in his hand looking at the people passing by to give him some money or food...

Haah , it's been one month since I came to this world actually to tell the truth I still can't believe that this world is real ,I think that for this one month I have been in coma and having this weird dream while sleeping in a hospital bed ,but as days pass by ,I am forced to believe that this is the reality and hell yes I have travelled to a different world ,a world so different and weird from mine ..

When I was living in Seoul as a thief i thought that rich people there were the most snob and deceitful I used to think that no one in the world deserves to be thrown except those people but now that I have travelled to this mysterious past I have to change my perspective.....

These fucking morons are the human monsters everyone talks about ... there is hierarchy in every fucking thing here and no lower class people are allowed to even look at those fucking upper class people.. worst of it all being that beggars who are the most lovable people of this world are the lowest class and can't even do anything other then begging they can't even do trivial things like work of daily wager the people who are daily wagers are from other class.... This fucking cast system ,these people think that they are anything better then others but no all humans are same no human is more adored by God then the other...these shitty people I want to chew them all out and throw them like a chewing gum...

Someone placed a bun in Kai's bowl making him come out of his reverie...

Thank you.... Kai said looking at the elderly woman with respect as she walked away....

Haah , it's already late ,i should head back now .. Kai said to himself looking at the dark sky...

He got up from his place taking the bun out of the bowl he placed it in the bag he had...

Haah ,I went to the bakery in the morning and they gave me some leftover bread from yesterday .. i should head back ... little Won must be waiting for me.... Kai thought as he started walking towards the beggar street ....

After 15 minutes Kai was near the beggars street when Won called him waving his hand from a distance...

Gamja hyung ,you came back, what did you get today ..let's head home together... Won said giddily

Yes , that's me cheapest thing in joseon right now ( Gamja hyung )..

And yes ,this is the boy who took my responsibility when I came here even though he is barely 15 and not anyway fit to take responsibility for an adult..and yeah about our home it's the same place which only had half roof and cracked walls , it's rainy season so we collected anything people had thrown away and made a new roof for our home now I am only praying to God that the roof should last this rainy season because we have nowhere to go..

They went home together while Won stated in detail what happened today and what he did , he placed his bag on the ground as soon as they came and went to stand infront of Kai...

Hyung , Gamja hyung ,what did you get today ...there were not a lot of people in my area so i didn't get much, Won asked jumping up and down..

I got alot of bread , Kai said taking the fresh bread out of his bag...

Ahhh ,a bun, I really like buns ... Won stated looking at the bun with gilitering eyes...

Here ,you eat it then .. Kai replied giving the bun to the little boy...

No hyung ,what will you eat if you give it to me ... Won asked shaking his head..

I have some more bread I got from bakery I will be eating that so take it Won... Kai said putting the bun in Won's hand...

Thank you hyung .... Won said taking a bite of bun filling his mouth...
