I feel bad that I acted that way in front of the prince yesterday. I guess it was still a little bit traumatic for me. I have seen life's misery from the other side of the border...witnessed people getting hurt...fortunately, not even once someone laid his/her hand on me. Aside from the injuries which occurred when I was a child due to my curiosity and of course, kids are expected to hurt themselves unintentionally when they play a lot, not a single adult hurt me.

My very first pain, which was intentionally inflicted by a person was from the prince himself.

I was terrified and I realized how my playmate back in the orphanage felt like when she was with her parents...they hurt her a lot. To make it worse, I learned that they weren't her real parents. When she arrive at the orphanage, she had lots of bruises. I sadly recalled how scared she was...and how we became good friends. The lady of the house would often say that we're alike in so many ways. I wonder where is she now? When we reached and crossed the border to China, we were separated. I hope she's okay...I hope she found people who will take care of her as well like how eomma and appa found me.

I slowly went down from the stairs and was surprised to find a lot of peach flowers which the prince pertained as 'Juliets', scattered around in dainty arrangements.

The sight instantly enlightened my mood. I glanced over the slightly opened window and smiled.

A beautiful sunny morning.

I held one and tugged a petal. I was on the verge of eating it when a voice startled me;

"Good morning!"

I awkwardly put the petal down and bowed.
