2- Okta the Inn

The night falls again and it's time for work. Jang Sa Rah began to wash her face, fixed her hair and got dressed.

She works in an Inn named Okta. What a place of pleasure and entertainment.

She is not a prostitute, she sings and she serve for the costumers.

"The crowd calls for you Sa Rah." Lee Ji Yun said.

She serves Sa Rah as a mother. Eversince she was found in the door on the Okta years ago, the Inn keeper decided to raise her like her own daughter.

"Yes I'm coming." She said as she grab her harp. She looked at the mirror once more and smiled.

As she step on the stage, the crowd goes wild again, just like every night.

She stared at them with a dashing smile, and bowed down before performing.

She sat in a wooden chair as the audience started to get quiet. Ready to listen to the nightingale of Faey-ra.

She began strum the strings into a harmonious and peaceful tune. She sang along, only to make the room as lovely as ever.

People began to fall in love with her voice again.

"All the flowers are gone away
He has gone away again
Carrantuohill and cliffs of Moher
And last night he came to me

I'll sing with my love Gaelic
Playing Bodhran with the harp
And it flows from cliff to sea
Reflect back and sigh and sigh

Waves shining like a star
Dancing with silver coats

Waves shining like a star
Dancing with gold bells shoes

Waves shining like a star
But he has gone away again."

As she sings, her eyes scanned the audience until she was glued to someone.

There was a table at the back with two men. One of them catched her attention.

He was in blue robe.

'What a new face' she thought.

After the performance , the Audience applaud to her song as Sa Rah went out to the stage.

'Time to serve'

She distributed the costumers respective orders.

The effective smile never left her face that makes her a good asset of the Inn. Besides of her talent, she serves better than any crew of Okta.

Night went deep as the people inside decreased. She sat down as she wiped off the sweat on her forehead.

"Aishh, I'm tired" she muttered.

"Hey!" A male voice said.

She glanced at back where the two young men sat there earlier.

One of them were obviously drunk and the other tries to carry and help him out. She knows him. It's Ra Su Ho, he comes to Okta more often eversince he become a rebel against his father.

"Hey miss! He said he likes yo-" The drunk man said .

The guy in blue sighed. " Su Ho, enough, you have gone too far. "

"You need help?" Sa Rah asked.

There are a lot of situations like this every night. Sometimes drunk ones will just sleep on the grounds of the Inn all night and wake up in the morning without remembering anything.

"Uhm" he hesitated, not making an eye contact.

What a shy guy.

She chuckled. "It's okay, He is my costumer anyway, I can help in getting you two home" she said .

"Really?"

"Of course, I'll just get my cart and Wuni, we can't carry that heavy and naughty mess. Wait for me outside." She said.

"Wuni?" He asked.

"Yes my horse." Sa Rah answered before walking out.

"Ughhh she likes you too " Su Ho muttered as he slept completely.

"Eomma? I'll just help the guys who got drunk to get home. I'll be back" she said as he tied the cart in her horse.

"Yes be safe" Ji Yun replied, sipping her tea.

The Blue guy and Sa Rah struggled to carry Su Ho in the cart.

"Aishhh what have you eaten Su Ho?" Sa Rah asked him even if she knew he wouldn't answer.

"I told him not to drink to much, but he didn't listen"

"He is known for being too stubborn, he listens to no one. Don't you know that? Mr.?-"

"Park Jin Hu" he smiled.

'Finally' she thought.

"Jang Sa Rah" she replied.

"New guy aren't you?" She asked.

"Yes I am Su Ho's cousin. I moved here because I received a letter from his father. I must accompany him in good things and stop him from being untamable." He answered.

"Well, Goodluck on him." She said before hoping on to the horse. Jin Hu went at the cart to stay with Su Ho, he might fall.

As she got them home, their servants carried Su Ho inside.

'Lame' she said to herself.

"Ehem" Jin Hu cleared his throat.

Sa Rah faced to him. Her bright brown eyes and her pretty small face makes him flutter. He looked away.

She giggled. " Jin Hu , don't be shy. Just be comfortable with me as a new friend. That would be a good start here." She said as she patted his shoulder.

Jin Hu's cheeks went warm and red.

'Even when she talks, she sound really good' he thought.

"Yes, thank you. Be careful" with full courage he faced her with smile.

"I'll go then" Sa Rah said as he hoped on her horse.

She waved goodbye to Jin Hu as that man's heart was melted with amazement and delight.

Hey readers! I changed Min Ju's name to Su ho. The names of the characters are kinda confusing 😂. I made it easier for you.

Apologies for the errors. Love you!💖
