It just slumped over,so unwillingly,even though it looked like it maintained peace for once.The flower seemed to be so shriveled up,that you couldn't even tell that it was a hibiscus right in the dying plant cell walls.It just seemed so unpleasant to look at but,also at the same time,yet pleasing to the eye,watching the plant go through decomposition.The purple,pink and blue hibiscus stood out as Soongi's favorite flower out of all the entire meadow. Vibrant colors that Soongi once admired are now gone,just leaving a black trace of carbon,decomposing into soil.
Soongi feels as if this is a distant signal to something ending in her life. Usually in Korean ideology,if people see something beautiful die,mostly it means that something catastrophic is being foreshadowed.What is being foreshadowed to happen in Soongi's life,you may wonder? It involves her parents and herself on a deal that she made with the temple of Hwarang. She is blind as a bat at this moment,not sensitive to change that is going to occur in her life abruptly in a couple of years,when she turns the age of 14.She was willing to sacrifice her life doing this change. Soongi knew that she want d to do some that could make her parents proud. Honestly,she didn't know that what she picked would change her life forever and leave gruesome,devastating effects on her self esteem as well.

Min Soongi:
"Omma!!!! What is mom doing?",screamed Soongi,to her dad.
Min Doo:
"Soongi,mom is taking a bath in the river,where we get our water. Why do you ask,sweetie?",Doo wondered.
Min Soongi:
"I only asked,because I wanted to talk to mom,omma. It's nothing more than that.",exclaimed Soongi,rolling her eyes and trying to play it cool.
Min Doo:
"It's fine Soongi. I trust you. What's the worst that can happen?I know you're smarter than that. You better not be lying to me,and get in trouble like last time,you!!!!",demanded Doo.
      The last time that Soongi got in trouble roughly was around last week. She ran into the square of town and started to goof around,even though she wasn't supposed to. She robbed a old produce woman and took all her expensive fruits that she had to offer.She left the poor old women crying,who later soon reported Soongi to the royal flower knights to be taken care of. Soongi continued to run off until to she reached her house. She tripped on the stairs and landed headfirst,smashing her jawline into one off the steps. She got up and continued to proceed up the stairs to open the door to her house.
4:57pm,Sunday. The day seemed to be very cloudy and the sun hid from being seen by the human eye. Her dad stopped her and gave her a particular look with his face that made Soongi uncomfortable to even stare right at him in the face.She wasn't in trouble just yet,but Min Doo seemed to be angry,due to that she arrived late,making them wait for her,so they can all go to the meadow,like they always did.
Min Doo:
"Where have you been,young lady?!!!?? It's 4:57 pm and you made us wait roughly for an hour for you. I thought I taught you better than that Soongi. Now apologize to me and your mother.",Doo commanded,with his face turning red from anger.
Min Soongi:
"Omma,Umma. I'm sorry for making you wait. I just wanted to experience more of the world,before we went to the meadow. I didn't realize that time went by so fast. Please take my apology,for all off the mistakes I made today unwillingly."Soongi muttered,while holding her green dress up,tying to hide the fruit she stole.
Min Ara:
"Soongi,what are those lumps in your dress that you are holding up? Are you hiding something from us both,Soongi?"Ara wondered,looking suspiciously at her daughter's dress.
Min Soongi:
"A-A-A-Ah!!!!!! Wait!!! Don't touch my dress. I don't have-",screamed Soongi,dropping the stolen fruits out of her dress.
Min Ara:
"Where did you get that fruit from,young lady? I know you didn't have the money to buy it. Be honest with umma and omma.",Ara projected with a loud voice,crossing her arms and staring down at Soongi.
Min Soongi:
"Umma,omma. Listen to what I have to say. I ran around the market square in Sillia,acting like a misbehaving child like I'm not usually as. I wanted to just experience fun for a little bit. After all,I'm only 14 years old,you know.",Soongi smiled.
Doo walked towards Soongi and abruptly stopped in font of her.He bend his head to his left side and rubbed his chin. Doo stood there puzzled,not knowing what to do for Soongi's punishment for her wrong doing.Soon Doo stood up straight,meaning he had an idea for Soongi's punishment.
Min Doo:
"You will go back to that person,from whom you stole those fruit from. You know how utterly messed up your actions are right now. If you don't,I will hold your actions accountable by having you live in the wilderness for a week. You got that.",Doo exclaimed to Soongi,in a serious meaning matter.
Min Soongi thought to herself....
"Oh,what should I do. Omma really meant it last time,because I had to stay over at my friend's house.(Author Nim:
Yes,Soongi accidentally met her best friend when she wondered,homeless for a week,because she got in trouble again.)
Am I really going to have to do this again? I really hate it when dad does this. I know it's my fault in the first place,but I can't help it. It's so fun,experiencing what it is to be bad sometimes. I even don't go to the meadow as much anymore,due to my mystify that I get into sometimes. I might as well return these fruits to the old lady that I stole them from. I have to represent myself adequately after all.",Soongi thought,diligently to herself.
Min Soongi:
"Omma,I decided that I should return the fruit that I stole from the person recently.Now I know that I shouldn't be stealing.Please forgive me,after I return back dad.Thank you for everything omma and umma.You have always taught me the rights and wrongs of life.See you later omma and umma.,Soongi thanked,with a gleaming exterior like an anime character.
      Soongi wondered out of her house and traveled back to towns square to return the produce back to the old woman.5:30,the birds were chirping in a melancholy manner,making Soongi feel uneasy,visiting the old produce woman.Soongi continued to the same area that the produce woman placed her cart to be.The cart was gone,even though the shop specifically claimed to be open until 7:00pm, 7 days of the week. Soongi put the fruit down in that area and proceeded back to her house. Soon she got stopped by a rough hand on her left shoulder.
Min Soongi:
"Excuse me,but who are you? I shouldn't be taking to strangers. I need to be going now. I have very important things to do for the rest of the afternoon.",Soongi blubbered,moving the rough hand off her shoulder.
Random Person:
"I'm sorry young lady,but I can't let you proceed,until you take care of some matters that I have in store for you.",The random person,exclaimed.
Min Soongi:
"Did I do something wrong,sir? I just came to return she be produce that I accidentally took by mistake. I need to get home,back to my mom and dad. They will be worried about me,if I don't return back at the time they commenced me to.If it's important,please and continue with what you were going to say sir."Soongi demanded.
Sir:
"I need to take to your parents about this situation that I proposed to say to you. Now that I see you have family,I will be honored to need them.Please take me to them,as fast as you can.",Sir,claimed in certainty.
Min Soongi:
"As you wish,Sir.",Soongi happy-fully proclaimed,with a bright smile,holding her hands behind her back.
