|| | Penny for Your Thoughts; Gyeo Ul & _______
It's at rare times like this that Gyeo Ul decides not to haul up in her apartment. Everything seems calm and her worries are stagnant, as if they too experience exhaustion. In occasions like this, Gyeo Ul loves to go out and just observe. She allows her feet to take her wherever they want to go and just surprise her with whatever she might discover. She takes advantage of the free pass to a normal night. Wherein she could just be her own self and not worry about the monster that lays asleep for the time being. She was at peace with herself as the priests would call it at the monastery. With peace comes a clear mind and keen sense of observation. Without worrying one could find wonder in the smalles and simplest of things. One can garner a new perspective, and a new point of view is something she desperately needs. Tonight she traversed through a familiar route; it was the way to her school. As she walked she just took in all the scene she saw. For example, she passed by a small convenient store and saw a young man in a suit. He was dragging in breath after breath of smoke from his cigarette with a stressed out expression. He obviously didn't have a great day. Suddenly a homeless person approached him and offered a still sealed pastry which she assumed was given to him in an act of alms giving. The young main raised an eyebrow at the unusual gesture. He was about to reject the beggar but then the old man insisted by placing the bread infront of the man with a warm smile. The young man's eyes widen I surprise but soon the formed into small crescents as he smiled widely back to the elder. He stood up and bowed in respect and asked the homeless man to sit with him. Soon they we're immersed in conversation filled with laughter. The scene she witnessed made Gyeo Ul feel warm. Indeed days are filled with little wonders if we only take the time to look and actually see. She thought it was the only treasure she'd find for the night but as she walked through the park and towards the small playground, she thought otherwise. There was a person perched on the swing set with its head hangin low. The person was pushing the swing on its own in a lazy manner. She knew it was none of her business but for some reason something inside her pushed her forward. Maybe she was about to uncover a new story to ponder over or a new friend. She reached the set and walked closer until she was only for steps from the stranger. She cleared her throat and announced her arrival "Penny for your thoughts?"
