Summary:  The days came by and by until she appeared.

The sign in the window of the wooden plank building had no signs, but rather indicated the wear and tear and lack of funds to fix the place with fresh paint. The building wasn’t as bad as peasant homes outside, but compare to other royalty it was severely lacking.

Wang Wook was a Prince; once upon a time he was thrown away because of his social standing not being adequate. If it were not for his wife Lady Hae his family would have been starving and out on the street. He had never been the run of the mill Prince, he had spent many of his childhood’s years learning the way of writings and history, and yet he had run around free outside the palace grounds.

During the years of his childhood he did have a nice life, with richness, but that faded quickly and he knew what it was like to want and need. It was why he was very strict on trying to help the poor. He had never loved his wife, he appreciate that he was married and was provided funding. She was always there and he was thankful for her help, but it didn’t perpetrate his desire toward her.

They were like companions just living and traveling along together. It wasn’t until a beam of light came into his life. The girl Hae Soo, pretty as a button, with large eyes looking at him originally without fear and was calm and quiet.

Then the change happened, and she was different and scared of everything around him. His spirit rouse and he felt he wanted to help her. He wanted to protect her and he use the excuse of her being part of his wife’s family as an excuse.

The second time he met her she was indistinguishable to the one she met originally. Now she peers like a scared child and he reach out offering his hand taking her small slim fingers. As time progressed he saw her child like eyes look around in wonder.

Wang Wook believed she was slowly spreading her wing the bright yellow canary that came out of that dark cage. Wang Wook dreams were always composed of darkness and the continuousness of death. Slitting the necks and killing to protect his sister and mother. After experiencing this dream for consecutive nights Wang Wook that it was a constant companion.

The few times he didn’t have the dream made him curious, instead the imagery of that scared child he took in started to appear. 

He found himself seemingly by change going out of his way on a stroll to see the yellow canary. The changes that happened was an sudden discovery for him, his stare always looking at her with fondness. Seeing Hae Soo overcoming her difficulties and loss of memory.

She was lifting her wings, and it hurt him thinking if anything would break those wings. The delight she had from making soap, the laughter and silliness of innocence. He wanted to experience those carefree moment.

Yet, dangers always seem to lurk around that yellow bird. Following her around crouching to pounce on her. He hated his hesitation. He hated how he couldn’t prevent her pain or hurt. How he held his tongue because of worry for his family.

Hae Soo wasn’t his family, she is his wife’s, but he wanted too so much help her. Yet, he does not dare.

Was that when she started to look elsewhere? Didn’t she originally want him?

He wanted to make her look at him again. He needed her to look at him like the first days when his wife lives, because there was a part in his chest that seem to throb when she looks away
