"Why are they smiling? why do they look like everything in this world seems happy..." a little kid asks himself while swinging his swing up and down
"Why is the girl hugging the little boy?" he asks again while watching the girl who is clearly a mother hugging his son
"Why is the big man smiling and taking a picture, do they know each other?" a question again.
Curiosity was seen on him, a kid who's face are purely innocent. An eyes full of amusement. An mouth that every words would slip out are genuine. An nose who sniff and think about anything. An sense that anytime can be self aware. But the questions are full of "What is it?" "What are they?" oh maybe it's because no one has ever taught him about what family us. How poor, how sad.
"Why is the kid crying? why is the girl leaving? why is the big man looking disappointed?" question over question.
He doesn't know anything yet he want to know it all. What is reality, how do people live in. He asked so many people, he asked every person that he would meet but the only answer was "You'll know it when you grow up." and pat his head gently.
A kid who wants to know everything, a kid who feels left out about this matter. He's not satisfied by the answer, the more he saw people the more he want for answer.
"Why did sisters never explained this..." he said while still watching the kid who's sobbing and the big man who's the father looking disappointed.
"Why-" he was cut off when someone on his back talked
"His mother found out that his husband is cheating that's why he left, he left his son on his husband who is a cheater." a boy, who's the same age with him.
His suit looks so expensive, he has black hair suits his pretty face, he smells good looks like from a wealthy family. But kids from a wealthy family, aren't they spoiled brats and mean? why does he looks matured for his age.
"What is mom?" the black haired boy stopped swinging as he hears a sincere and really confused question.
How can someone not know what a mom is?
"A mom. They're the one who gave birth to us..." he answered while slowly looking to the confuse boy who is swinging his swing non-stop
"Gave birth?" the boy asked, still confused.
How can someone be this naive? so young and naive, i pity him.
"Do you have a mom?" the latter asked in a low voice, he doesn't want to sound rude.
"What is mom?" the boy asked again while the other just sigh
"The one who takes care for us, the one who takes care for you." he answered while looking away
"Sister is the one who take care for me!" the other said while pointing the place infront, orphanage.
"Oh... i'm sorry." the black haired boy said but the other just laugh it off, he didn't ask any questions since he can't believe a same aged kid like him telling this.
"I'm Rik-" the latter didnt get to finish his words when the boy who was swinging his swing non-stop suddenly stopped and he's now with the kid, the kid they are watching.
"OH NO! why did the big man left you!" he heard the kid ask the other kid who's still crying
"My dad! my dad!" the boy who's the same age with them starts whimpering
"He will comeback, the big man will comeback" the other boy said while hugging and patting the crying kid
On the other hand, the black haired boy just watched them. He wants to at least comfort them.
"Let's play!" he said breaking the silence, the other kid nods while the other stay still and keeps crying
"THAT IS RIGHT! when i'm sad, sister play with me!" the other kid said while smiling widely
"O-okay..." the boy who was crying earlier starts agreeing and immediately stand up
They played, any game that is possible to play, they all played it. Not minding everyone, not minding anything. Laugher, giggles and playful shouts was heard. They played and talked.
They talked about aliens and ghost, the two kids believed in ghost while the other one believes in aliens because he was born with books are all over with him, he is rich and his knowledge should be too. They talked about their dream jobs, the other two kids want to have their own company while the other one doesn't know what job is. They talked about how they want to feel loved, the other two wants to receive gifts while the other one wants his family complete. They talked about what game they liked, and that is the only one they had the same answer. Hide-in-seek.
It's really fun to hear kids having talk. Conversation purely innocent and genuine, how cute. But little did they know from that question... it already shouts that all of them has different lives that is dependable to reach.
The big man came back and the other kid who's crying earlier smiles widely and run to him, his father.
The black haired kid saw his mother finding him, he wants to at least stay for more but of course he can't... after all he's the inheritor of their family.
They bid their goodbyes while genuinely smiling, the other kid is still confuse on how those kids have someone waiting for them and someone fetching them. He wants to ask again but he refuse to talk, all he did was bid goodbyes and came back to the orphanage where he came from and the only place he knows.
For the mean time they felt happy, all of them was happy. Innocent and not knowing what reality is, they all met and played. The world is cruel for them but they don't know because they were still young, oh to stay being kid forever.
They met and left, just like that. No one knows what their names, no one knows who they are. If fate is playful then i bet it will find it ways to let them meet again. Well, fate is cruel.
Jungwon came back to the orphanage, confused but happy.
Sunoo is with his dad, happy but not contented. He wants his mother.
Riki wants to hide but one of their guards found him, he starts sulking as he was forced to go home.
Three little boys with different lifestyles but all are facing the cruelty of the world. Fate let them met... would they meet again?
Of course, in different time where all are already aware... fate is cruel right?
