“Where are we going?” asked Danbi excitedly

“That's a surprise. Just shut your mouth and think about what it can be” replied Eun with a smile on his face.

“Aaahh. Fine. Anyway I am happy because I got escaped from that boring place at least for a day”

“I told you to shut your mouth” replied Eun with a fake anger. Danbi kept her fingers in her mouth and looked at Eun with a pouty face. Eun was smiling inside and made himself so rigid on the whole journey.

Danbi lost her patience, “where on the earth are we going? I have been sitting for more than an hour and this path goes long and long. Come on eun-ah tell me where we are going”.

Suddenly the horse got stopped near bamboo bushes. And Eun made danbi to get off the horse by holding her hand. Seeing the atmosphere, Danbi asked, “Ohh. Is this the most beautiful place in the entire region? You idiot. Are you joking with me?”

Jeong Eun really can’t get angry at her words because he admired her innocence and childish behaviour. But to make a scene he lifted his left eyebrow and without uttering a word he holded her hand and started to walk in between the bushes.

Eun took a long blue cloth and tied it in the eyes of Danbi. Danbi was shocked and started to shout as usual. Without letting anything into his ears, eun-ah grabbed her hands and again started walking. 

Suddenly Danbi can feel that the cloth was being untied. She opened her eyes fastly and by the sight she couldn't literally utter a word. “Woahhhh … How nice it is!!” she told herself. Before her she can see two mountains which look like a guy and a girl and the water is falling between them. When the sky was cleared from the mountain she could fascinately see the yellow flowers and green grasses in the mountains.

“It feels like I am in heaven, eun-ah” she said to Eun by seeing the scenery. But she can’t feel like a human is standing beside her. She looked by side and searched for Eun. But she couldn’t find him anywhere. 

Suddenly a beautiful smell came beside her. Yes , eun-ah is standing with a handful of those beautiful yellow flowers. Danbi got tears in her eyes by looking at the flowers.She received the flowers from eun and smelled it.

With a light smile she looked at eun and said “Have you been here before? Then why didn’t you bring me here already? You are totally selfish. I hate you and hereafter you are not a friend to me.”

Upon hearing this,  Eun began to laugh and made a pouty face and touched his both ears and asked sorry to danbi. “I am sorry my princess. I will make sure that hereafter it won’t happen again.” As a reply, danbi with a prideful smile, “Ok, Ok. you are forgiven by the princess now. But not the next time. Mind it.” 

Eun bursted into a smile and by seeing him danbi too got out in laughter. After some time, danbi said to Eun, “ Yes, you are correct Jeong Eun. This is the most beautiful place I have ever met. Thanks for accepting my request and bringing me here. I wish I can stay here for my lifetime. Where no one judges you or torture you in the name of respect. I can live a peaceful life with nature according to my own notions. And..............”.

Interrupted by Eun, “Danbi that’s enough. Are you a sudden poet? My ears are getting swollen.”

And you guys know what may happen next.

Jeong eun was yelling in pain in his ears.

 And after a while of silence, “Danbi-ah, do you know? This is my favourite place in this world. In my childhood days, whenever i asked about my appa and amma to my grandpa he just brings me here and made me to forget that topic. This place is like a comforting place to me. Many times, I wish to come here with my closed ones. And today luckily, I brought you here with me. Seriously, I feel huge happiness and do you truly adore this place?” asked Eun to danbi.

Danbi with a disgusting face, “ Are you a memory loss patient or a deaf? Can’t you hear what I was shouting all this time?”

“Hahaha… fine. Then, you like this place.And now I feel relieved that my friend was free from her boring state of mind for a while. Then danbi-ah I want to ask you a question.”

“What?”

“Yesterday when I met our royal highness he told me to get ready for the war and also for a festival. With my conscience i think we don’t have any festivals nearby. Do you have any idea about it?”.

With a smile, Danbi replied, “Aah. that. You will get to know sooner. Probably you will be very happy after hearing it”.

“Is it so? Let me wait and watch. Ok. It's time for our departure. Get up. We have to move fast. So that you can’t be seen by anyone in the country. Get up . get up. Walk fast.”

“Let me sit here for a while, please.” 

“No means no. Are you joking? I risked my life to bring you here. What happens when your father get to know about this? I can’t just think it off. Get up danbi-ah . It's getting late”.

“Pabo. Come let's move.” by slowly, murmuring they left the place. And they reached the palace safely. Eun made sure that danbi was safe and then he left the palace. 

When he reached home, his grandfather was murmuring some slogans. Eun held a great smile when entering the house. It was noticed by his grandfather and he stopped him. “I haven't seen this smile in your face for a long time. What happened to my grandchild? What suddenly made you so happy?”

After bowing to his grandpa, eun-ah “Nothing much grandpa. I just went out to the couple falls.”

“I see. That’s the reason behind your smile. Have you gone alone?”

“Nope grandpa. With my friend”.

“I think that friend holds a strong place in your heart. Because you took them to the couple falls. Am I right?”

“Yes....... That friend means the world to me. Irrespective of our pride,clothings,money, she owns more value than it. An extraordinary gift of god to the earth.”

“Stop. enough. Is she the reason behind your drawings,poems in your hidden closet?”

“PARDON?!!!!!!!”

“What you heard is right.”

“Yes................ grandpa.”

“I don't know who she is. But this grandpa will never interfere in your happiness.” by saying to himself , the grandpa left the room suddenly.

Jeong-Eun remembered the time Danbi and smiled with shy pride.And he also worries about what might his grandpa think about him.

 On the other hand, grandpa had a warmness in his heart. Because he wishes Eun to live a happy life be as he thinks that Eun was in need of care and affection by a purest soul. He promised to his dead daughter that he will marry Eun to his loved one because Eun’s happiness will make his dead daughter and son-in-law happy.

Next morning… the whole town was in happy news…………….
