"I'm telling you, it's not okay. It's not okay for us to go out.It's not a good thing to break into someone else's house. What if she wakes up?"
"Ah, you're really a good boy... can't you hear her snoring. She's sleeping...We can go out now. Let's try". While Gim Iseul was sleeping the laptop kept on her mini table was glowing and many strange sounds were coming from it. It was as if someone was talking.
And suddenly two small cartoon figures appeared from her computer screen. There was the character of a cute looking girl dressed in a light green dress, and her hair was yellow. The cute hair bangs covering her small forehead made her look even more attractive. But her beautiful emerald eyes looked a little dull like a ghost.
The other character seemed to be a boy, he was also attractive but the left side of his body was covered with bruises, he had a bandage on his left hand and he also looked quite shabby. He had green hair and green eyes. He was in a long sleeve hoodie, he was quite well-behaved unlike the girl.
(Hello, I'm the narrator of this story. From now on I will tell you the story of Gim-Iseul and these little characters till we come to her present self)
The girl got excited looking at a real television, she jumped with excitement. Using Gim-Iseul's mobile charging wire, she came down from the table because her feet were too short to reach the floor. The green-haired boy was terrified of coming down with the help of a wire. So, he decided to stand there, by the laptop. "Miss Polly, don't go there...it's dangerous."
(Polly was the name of that bob-haired girl.)
The green boy said with a trembling voice, looking at the little girl who was trying to get to the top of the dining table as she smelled something sweet. She didn't listen to him, she seemed like a stubborn kind of girl. And after trying for hours, she finally reached on top of the dining chair. Then she used a cushion as a trampoline which was placed on top of that chair. And reached the top of the table in her 6th attempt.
There she saw two pieces of leftover bread, half-finished milk. Which she found really gross. She saw a bowl full of fresh delicious fruits. Her eyes lit up at the sight of it, she went near to examine it and dived straight inside the bowl.
And after swimming there for about 15 minutes she finally found what she was looking for, her favorite sweet red cherries. There were only six cherries and she was so happy that she decided to take the six of them with her but her hands were too small to carry them together. So, she started eating them at that very moment."
'Bam!'
As Gim-Iseul turned, her hand hit the table. Both the green-haired boy and the bob-haired girl were horrified when they heard that noise." Miss Polly, please come down. We shouldn't stay here long or she'll see us". The boy said.
"Yes, I'm coming...wait for me there", even knowing that if Gim-Iseul wakes up she will be in trouble. Her greed for cherries didn't let her go without taking at least 3 pieces from there.
She was about to get down from the table and out of the blue a huge giant cockroach appeared in front of her. "The monster" She was really scared so she kept on walking backwards and she collided with Iseul's flower vase.
The vase fell down and broke and the water inside it spread all around. But this was not enough to break Iseul's sleep. The little girl sighed deeply, as she feared that the noise of the vase breaking might wake Iseul. Then she remembered about the cockroach, which was following her everywhere.
She found a butter knife and looked at the curtains covering the window. The table was near the windows so, she used that small butter knife to pierce the curtain and came down holding it tight. And finally she reached the floor, she was holding three cherries but she dropped one in a hurry. She regretted it but the cockroach had left her with no choice but to run.
She climbed over Iseul's body as she was sleeping near her mini table and reached the laptop. While throwing the cherries towards the green-haired boy,she asked him to catch them. The boy panicked, yet was able to hold them for her. The girl finally reached the computer's screen. And they were about to leave, that is when she noticed Iseul trembling. She felt a little bad for her, so she went down again.
"Ah, Miss Polly, you are really brave. Miss Polly...Miss Polly ?" The green-haired boy spoke as he stepped inside the screen. When he didn't get Polly's answer, he looked back and was horrified to see the girl going downstairs again. Polly took the help of Iseul's body to go down again. She was using her body as a path. She looked around to find something useful.
And she found a blanket lying by her sofa. It was really difficult for her to pull that heavy blanket with her tiny hands, yet she tried her best to bring it to Iseul. The green-haired boy also came down to help her out.
And they were both able to bring the blanket to Iseul, then they put it on her so that she wouldn't feel cold anymore. Polly gazed at Iseul's swollen eyes, before going back to her world. She felt a little sorry for her and murmured, caressing her face, "Don't worry, everything will be fine. I'll be back. After all, you made us..."
"Miss Polly we're getting late," said the green-haired boy.
"I'm coming", the girl still felt sad to leave Iseul alone in that condition but was left with no other choice. She climbed over her body to reach the table again. And then they both disappeared as soon as they stepped inside the computer screen.
This was just the beginning of the journey of these little characters...
