Glass Slipper // Meanie Couple

01

Once upon a time, there lived a boy named Jeon Wonwoo. He had a very kind and loving Mother who loved him very much, as well as a very accepting Father, who loved him unconditionally when he came out to them.

 Growing up, Wonwoo always wanted to be the princess instead of the prince, he knew deep inside his heart who he was and his family loved and accepted him for that. Wonwoo was a very peculiar child, he had mice as friends. 

They were called Jun and Minghao. He would save the leftovers from his dinner plate and give the food to the mice. They were his only friends after all and he felt bad for them, being too tiny and vulnerable. His Father was a traveller, whenever he had to go abroad, Wonwoo would ask him to bring back a book. 

Wonwoo would wait patiently with his Mother until his father arrived back home. During those times, his Mother would teach him important life lessons and skills. She would tell him to always find the good in others, and to forgive those who have sinned. They were the happiest family in the land, until his Mother fell very ill.

One day he was asked to come see his mother. Upon seeing his Mother, he knew that this may be the very last time he may see her. His Mother who had raised him and loved him unconditionally. 

"Wonwoo-ah, come here my boy," his Mother called. He went closer to his beloved Mother. 

"Mom..". Was all he manage to say, she looked frail, her black hair had gone matte and her usual bright complexion dulled down. "Wonwoo, as you may know, I don't have much longer to live. I'm so sorry. I wish I could stay here and watch you grow up to be the kind, young man I always wanted you to be." She began tearing up.

 "I want you to know that I love you very much son, and that I will always be there for you." She said, holding onto his hand. "Please don't go Mother, Father and I need you here!" He cried. 

"Wonwoo, I'm so sorry, I truly am. I want you to remember this. Be kind to those around you and you will be rewarded the same." She smiled weakly at him. Wonwoo broke into tears, holding onto his mother as much as he could. She stroked his raven black hair and sang his favourite song, one last time.
