The small boy hopped around happily on the meadow. He was humming a tune as he looked around, taking in the beautiful scenery that stretched far from him. The meadow was a glorious expanse of grass and meadow flowers, grass rustling gently in the breeze. The petite fragrant daisies with their sunshiny centers grinned at him while a soft breeze ruffled the white petals. The earthy smell of grass and spring filled his nostrils. The pollen rich smell of flowers made his nose tingle. He took a deep breath, and giggled, never having smelled anything so intoxicating. The sky was a dome of cocktail blue, stretching as far as to the forest in the distance, as the young boy could see. Every once a cloud would bounce across the heavens, like a flock of sheep. The boy looked up wistfully and closed his eyes, basking in the glorious rays of sunshine.

The birds sang in their sopranos, creating a symphony, which was a masterpiece in the boy's ears. Along with the chirring grasshoppers, squeaking swallows, whirring dragonflies and murmuring winds, it was an orchestra, a masterpiece composed by Mother Nature herself. The small boy's senses were in a euphoric state, almost unable to contain his happiness. So a bunny-like grin was plastered across his face.

In the distance he could hear the chatter of people. Under a tent was a set up buffet and tables and chairs where older people were chatting happily. There gathered the richest business men and women from all over Seoul. It was a small outdoor party where the owners of companies and their families gathered at the beginning of the year to talk business and gossip. He could see his parents, talking to someone. All the men and women looked so serious in there, it scared the small boy. Almost all of them had a glass in their hands, and they took a sip out of the red or yellow liquid every once in a while, amidst their conversations. Everyone was clad in expensive suits and dresses, belonging to brands he couldn't pronounce. He, himself was wearing a black suit, white shirt, and a black bow tie, his feet clad in heavy shoes. He wanted to take them off, but his parents wouldn't let him.

He turned away and he spotted a butterfly lazily flying from one flower to the other. The boy's onyx orbs grew wide in awe and he started to make his way towards the butterfly. Upon sensing a threat, the butterfly flew away, but that didn't stop the boy from chasing it.

He followed the creature but as soon as he came to the small fountain that was in the middle of the grassy field, he stopped, something else gaining his attention. It was another boy, who seemed older than him and was trying to get something off of the surface of water. The younger boy's eyes lit up with curiosity and he made his way to the other boy. He was dressed in a blue suit and a light pink shirt, with a blue bow tie. His hair was a shade of blond, and it reflected the sunlight, almost creating a beautiful aura around him. The younger stepped towards the older boy. He was usually shy but he decided to speak to the boy who was obviously struggling.

"Hi" The younger boy said. This caused the older boy to look away from the fountain, and at the boy with a smaller frame. Confusion was evident in his eyes.

"Hi" The older finally spoke up. He flashed a smile at the younger, who instantly returned it.

"What are you doing?" The younger was curious.
