The Love Of East

geonyong a young magistrate in he confront a girl and he falls in love with this

geonyong a young magistrate in he confront a girl and he falls in love with this girl, she is young but so smart and beautiful, she is a scholar but not too deep, just enough for him to know who she is.

jaehyung a young boy whose parents have fallen out, his mother had been working at the same shop that the young girl was at, she fell ill shortly after and died giving birth to their son, jaehyung's father has left the family when he turned thirteen and they are now all on their own.

jeon jeongin, an orphan from an orphanage that had been abandoned by its owner, he is a thief and a liar and has no idea where he came from or why he lives on the streets.

they meet again in a street corner, the two strangers stare into each other's eyes as if looking for something, the night air feels like it burns their skin while the stars shine above them.

"are you hungry?" the woman asks him as she offers him a slice of bread, he shakes his head, "you can have my share." he whispers, "I don't need your share," she says, shaking her head.

after awhile, the two of them are sitting together on the street, talking about their pasts, their families, anything they could come up with.

"so what do you study?" jisung asks the womanhe knows she is studying law, "I am taking medicine," she replies, "how many people have you helped?" he asks curiously. she laughs and tells him there have been many cases where she has given her time to someone else before helping herself, "my name is minho," she tells him, "minho.." he repeats, testing the syllables on his tongue. he nods.

jeongin watches them from afar, from behind a pile of garbage bins, he smiles at their conversation. he doesn't understand how they both seem to care about these strangers, they both look like people that shouldn't be able to be found anywhere near each other, they both remind him of himself.

but then again, he reminds himself, he looks nothing like what people think of him.

jeongin watches the two of them interact for hours until one of them finally notices him.

"why are you still here? get home!" the older man scolds as he walks up to jeongin who is hiding from the sight of a police officer. jeongin stands up quickly and runs back to the alleyway he was previously staying at.

he lies down on the floor of the alleyway and listens to the sounds of footsteps as the policeman goes back inside his patrol car.jeongin takes out a small bag of food he stole from a nearby store and puts some on the ground beside him. he eats the little pieces of bread quietly, occasionally looking back at the door to see if anyone noticed. he sighs, it wouldn't matter anyway, the cops didn't really care about petty thieves. he would have to find another way.

jeongin spends the rest of his day wandering around in hopes of finding somewhere that would accept him, but even the worst places aren't very accepting, people tend to leave as soon as they spot him in the streets.

even the most rundown place seems to have a sign of a different kind.

one day in particular, jeongin decides to stay the night at a bar. he isn't the smartest person in the world, but he tries his best to make sense of everything he sees.

and what he sees makes no sense to him.

it was the middle of the night when a loud bang shook the entire bar, jeongin jumped as he heard someone yell in pain, he looked around and saw someone on the ground, he ran over and crouched next to him, trying to take a better look at the stranger.

the first thing jeongin notices is that he isn't wearing any clothes. he's also pretty pale, and he's bleeding everywherejeongin quickly pulls out the first aid kit he carries around in his bag, he opens it and searches through it to find something that could help.

his hands land on a small bottle filled with liquid. he grabs the bottle and unscrews the cap, pouring the contents onto his hand and then grabbing his friend's wrist to apply pressure.

jeongin watches him carefully to ensure that he doesn't slip away, he begins cleaning the blood off of his face with a rag.

once he deems that he's clean enough, jeongin starts applying butterfly bandages to his wounds. once he finishes, jeongin picks the stranger up bridal style and places him inside of the back seat of the car.

he looks around the area one last time before leaving, and then heading back to his apartment.

Chapter 2

jeongin had only been living in the city for a few weeks and he already felt lost. he hadn't known anyone, he had never met anyone in his life besides his mother and she wasn't exactly in the best state at the moment. the closest he had to friends was one of those beggars who usually lived outside of the townsquare.

he didn't want to believe that he was going to go crazy, the things he saw in those days were real; it couldn't have just been a nightmare, because even though it hurt, it also felt good, and he never wanted to feel bad again.

what made it worse was that he had no money, he couldn't afford anything anymore, and he barely knew how to speak the language.

jeongin had seen so many horrible things that he could hardly remember. but despite the horror that surrounded him, jeongin did not run away. he stayed, and tried to live.

there was always something about the way that a certain pair of silver eyes would gaze into yours that made you calm and relaxed, and you'd never forget what it felt like.

the sound of glass shattering breaks the silence of the night, jeongin snaps back into reality. the smell of blood permeates the atmosphere, and jeongin turns his gaze toward his surroundings.

people are running towards the source of the noise, jeongin follows suit and he notices that it comes from his right.

he runs faster until he hears an awful scream, he stops abruptly when he reaches the source and finds a man, who must've been a merchant judging from the large amount of goods and jewelry he had
