RED STAR IN THE SKY GORYEO (The Scent Of Life 2)
CHAPTER 3 MEETING WITH WANG WOOK
Byeol feels good at home, he wants to go out. He asked his mother for permission to go for a walk to see the world outside the fence of his house. His mother allowed him on condition that Byeol not be far from Jeideum. Byeol agreed and invited Yideum to leave on foot. Mr. Choi's house is a little far from the village of residents just a hill away has reached the city crowd.
Byeol really enjoyed the scene before his eyes. Absolutely real, Korea in the past. Then the people were so amazing to him. He sees people in different clothes and styles. Byeol concluded from the clothes alone can judge them including what caste. Only the nobility wore silk clothes, while the lowly wore ordinary cotton clothes. People sell all kinds of things. Starting from food to jewelry accessories women. Wood and stone buildings along wide stone streets. Stone and wooden bridges connect the two sides of the river that divides the city. Horses galloping in the middle of the street pulled the carriage. Sounds real in the ears Byeol boisterous low voice of the Korean people in the past.
Byeol was excited to look around for items sold by the roadside. Yideum bought food. Byeol was still walking around looking around. Until finally his eyes were attracted to a beautiful konde skewer. The skewer of the emerald-stone konde is in harmony with the light green clothes worn by Byeol at that time. When his hand touched the skewer, along with the hand of a man who was also about to take it. Byeol was surprised and immediately pulled his hand which was under the man's hand. He saw the man's face. It looks like someone, Kang Seo Woo, Oh Man Se's second foster brother. Byeol's eyes widened in surprise.
"I'm sorry" said the man.
Byeol felt embarrassed, lowered his head, then nodded his head.
"I'm sorry too. Go ahead you take that konde skewer," said Byeol relented.
The man who looked like Seo Woo smiled kindly. Byeol judged that the man before him must be from among the nobility. His clothes are nice olive green, his smile is sweet, his teeth are well groomed, his eyebrows are straight, his lips are thin, his nose is pointed. Ninety for his good looks, thought Byeol.
The man bought a konde skewer. Byeol left, but the man called out to him.
"Wait first. I think I know you. You're Mr Choi's daughter, aren't you?" ask the man.
"You know my father?" ask Byeol back.
The man smiled, and they looked at each other for a moment. Soon afterwards, Jeideum came in search of Byeol while carrying food. When he wanted to shout calling his young lady, his mouth choked so did not scream, because he saw the figure in front of his nonaanya. Yideum came closer.
"Greetings my noble honor," said Yideum bowing his body while banging Byeol's back to also bow saluted, but Byeol did not understand the code of Yeideum. Byeol finally bowed his body. The handsome man laughed amusedly at the mannerisms of the two people in front of him.
Byeol asked Yideum. "Who is he?"
"He's Prince Wang Wook," Yideum replied quickly as he whispered.
Hearing Yideum's reply, Byeol was shocked to death. His mind then turned around remembering that name. Wang Wook's name is twofold in Goryeo history. One Daejong Wook was the eighth prince and another Wang Wook who later was given the title Ahnjoong Wook. Who is this guy? Byeol thought. He must be the eighth prince of Daejong Wook of Hwangbo, not Ahnjoong Wook of Gyeongju. Daebak, thought Byeol. He was standing in front of a large figure from Goryeo. The man was moving his palms in front of Byeol's face who was daydreaming about the figure in front of him. Until Byeol finally woke up and embarrassed. Prince Wook laughed.
"It's great to meet your noble. Please forgive the servant who does not know you are the prince of this country" Byeol said.
Wang Wook smiled widely. Byeol permits farewell and passes from that place. He thought he didn't want to get involved with strangers. Byeol thought how he could look like Kang Seo Woo, his adoptive brother. Is he Kang Seo Woo's ancestor? I don't know, Byeol thought and shook his head. While Wang Wook just smiled while looking at the departure of Byeol. Interesting girl, thought Wang Wook.
