The moon and the beggar

Why are you following me , he asked again ...

.... silence , Gamja again didn't open his mouth...

Eun Joeng waited for 5 minutes but when Gamja didn't answer ,he stomped his feet on the ground and walked faster then before , Gamja again ran behind him ,this time in a very fast speed..

Eun Joeng turned around for the 3rd time , making Gamja want to stop but he could not control his pace and fell on his knees in front of Eun Joeng's feet..

Hahaha .. Eun Joeng laughed as he saw his clumsy beggar fall on the ground , that's why you shouldn't follow anyone recklessly or you will be the only one to suffer loses he said in a light mood.

He walked infront of him and placed his hand in front of the beggar while still laughing..

Gamja balled his fists when he saw the hands of his beloved infront of him and shook his head..

No... he said

Why not ... Eun Joeng asked bitterly urging him to take his hand..

No , my lord , my hands are dirty... Gamja answered..

So what, you do the kind of work which gets your hands dirty , it's okay, take my hand .. kim Eun Joeng stated smiling ...

Gamja hesitated a bit and almost touched his hand with the devine being when suddenly he took his hands back and shook his head..

No ,my lord , I can't touch you... Gamja said frantically..

Why... he asked again..

I am a beggar my lord, I can't touch you, you are the god's divine creation I can't dirty you with my hands...

Eun Joeng looked down embarrassed and looking here and there , his cheeks had the colour of setting sun on them ,he fidgeted with his hands as he didn't know what to say to the man infront of him ..

After a few moments , he finally gathered himself again ..

If I am the creation of God then whose creation are you... every human is god's creation, now stop saying nonsense take my hand , Eun Joeng said biting his lips trying not to get shy again.

Gamja thought something and put his hand next to his and said ..

Look my lord , my hands show the dirt and the life of a low born , someone who god just created to fill in the spaces , someone so low that God himself would not mind such a low life now look at your hands, it's like the moon is placed in your two palms , you are the one who shines the light in the dark night ,you are the one who lightens up the world during the bleak lifeless night ... I am someone God would not even remember and you are someone who God is proud of creating... Gamja said softly , embarrassed of himself for being so low born .

Eun Joeng could not understand what was going on he kept looking between his and Gamja's hand while thinking..

Is there really such a big difference between two creations of God , am i really so beautiful that I don't know my value or is he the one who is thinking of me as too much and values me more than I am worth , am I a proud creation of God or is he the treasure God sent to me to make up for my ugly face. 

Eun Joeng was still thinking when he felt a wet feeling of something on his palm..

He looked towards his hand and saw Gamja kissing his hand and said...

I am the only person who has kissed the moon..

Eun Joeng's eyes welled up , he felt like his breath got stuck in his throat , he wanted to take air into his lungs but he could not , he took his hand away from Gamja , looked at it for a moment and ran away from there as fast as he could without looking back , without looking at the person who made him feel breathless everytime he touched him or said simple things , the man who kept coming in his dreams and making his nights sleepless multiple times..

Gamja saw the man of his dreams ,the reason for his happiness and the reason of his destruction running away ,but he could not get up , he looked at his back disappearing from his sight but he didn't follow behind him 

.....

It has been three days since that incident and Gamja and Eun Joeng have not met since that sinful evening , if we talk about Gamja according to him ,

He understood that day the reality , he understood that he could never get the moon he wanted to seduce , it was simply not possible for a low born beggar like him to actually even possess the beautiful stainless moon..

But if we see the same situation from Eun Joeng's point of view it was the whole other thing...

He could not understand how can a beggar like him say something so beautiful that he could not breath , he could not understand how ,just how could the man's small gaze take away the sleep of his nights.

How could the man make him go crazy because of some simple words... he simply couldn't not understand anything..

.....

Won had taken a bath early in the morning and was now nagging Gamja to go to the festival with him, Gamja's heart ached he didn't want to step outside of their room but for Won who was desperately asking him to go with him , he finally decided to go out and fullfill his promise...

In the market , won dragged Gamja everywhere with him asking him to look at different things ..

A few hours later ,after won dragged Gamja to every corner he finally sat beneath a tree ...

Hyung , I am tired I can't walk anymore please ,can you get me some water .. 

Okay ,you sit here and wait for me but remember don't go playing i wouldn't be able find you in this crowd ... Gamja warned ..

Okay... won answered..

Gamja went away from there , looking for a tap or some water source to get some water and after sometime he spotted one on the outskirts of the fair .. Gamja walked there and took out his bowl to fill it with water , when suddenly someone grabbed his arm aggressively and dragged him to the forest .. Gamja tried to stop him but the man persisted and once they were on a secluded place the man threw him to the ground , Gamja looked up to see who it was and once he saw the person's face he immediately got on his knees

What do you want , why are you casting spells on me , why am I going crazy , the man yelled...

Gamja remained silent looking down on the ground...

Stop pretending you don't know anything and look at me , why are you doing all this , what do you want... Eun Joeng asked again on the verge of tears..

I didn't do anything my lord... Gamja replied worried

I am not qualified to get anything from you...

Stop it , I said stop it ,please tell me ..tell me do you want money ,do you want a house ,do you want to get out of the beggar's class , tell me I will do anything but please don't talk to me like that ..

I will give you so much money that you and your family would never have to do any work..

There is no one other then you in my life my lord , I don't have a family .. you are the only reason I am alive and want to live a long life , you are my only moon my lord ..

Moon, moon , i am your moon ,do you know how many stains does moon have , everyone likes moon from far afar but when they get close they see the ugliness of it , moon is the sign of ugliness ... Eun Joeng cried out loud...

No my lord ,please don't say such harsh words to yourself my heart is aching , please don't do this my heart will burst with the pain ,Gamja said as tears streamed down his face...

Eun Joeng thought something and sat infront of him and said...

Then.. then don't ever call me your moon again...

Okay ,my lord , if you don't like me Calling you the moon ,I will never call you that again ,if you don't like seeing my face i promise I will never show you my face again ..

No.... Eun Joeng said ..
