Chereads / The Abyss Between Us: A Tale Of Cursed Love / Chapter 48 - A visit to Mortal land

Chapter 48 - A visit to Mortal land

The boy was sitting by the window, on a chair made of jade and adorned with complicated designs and gems, the table in front of him was full of food and sweets, but he didn't touch anything, like he had been devoid of any feelings, the boy stared out of the window into nothingness, trying to see something he knew didn't exist, the quiet in the room was shattered as the door to the room slowly opened and a handsome man peaked inside.

"What happened Su Jun, why do you look so bad today", the other boy asked and finally stepped inside the room.

"Yoon, I don't know what to do",Su Jun said in a helpless voice as he kept his eyes on the things outside.

"Hmm, if you are bored, why don't you try painting something", yoon said as he took a brush and tossed it towards su Jun.

"Can you take a look around in this room?", Su jun asked and yoon did as he was told and looked around the room, it was a spacious hall that seemed like it had no end, and the roof was quiet high, making it almost impossible to see the end of this room and every corner of this room was filled with paintings , paintings of anything and everything, from the earth God to the lord God, from trees to small ants, from giants to magical beasts, even the painting of the chair he was sitting on, was hanging on the wall.

"I have painted everything that is there in heaven, ugly, beautiful, good, bad, large, small, measly to priceless, there is nothing new, what should I paint, there's only you who I have not painted till now and I believe your face is not worth putting on the precious paper that I condense with my own spritual power", Su Jun said and shook his head.

"You are right, you can't paint me, so what are you going to do now", yoon asked.

"I don't know, i am bored and ", Su Jun was still in between his sentence when the door opened and a beautiful lady In light green robe came in.

"Why did not my beautiful son come to have lunch with his mother today", the lady asked as she made her way to Su Jun.

"I am bored mother, i don't know what to do and I don't want to eat, i want to go out of the heaven to explore earth and earthlings", Su Jun said firmly as he looked at his mother.

"Son, you know your Father will never allow you to go down there, he will get angry if he knows about it", His mother tried to make him understand but Su Jun was not having any of it.

"Mother, i feel like I am suffocating,i have no freedom and I want to run away, please mother, can't I just go out for a day and then come back, before Father comes back", Su jun asked miserably.

"But Su Jun", his mother tried to persuade.

"Mother, i promise I will come back before Father comes home".

"Okay, but you need to take yoon with you and you will come back before your father", his mother said and looked at the two boys.

"I promise,i will come back soon", Su Jun promised and Yoon just bowed to his mother, before opening an array to go down to earth.

In a few minutes the two boys were in the middle of a street, surrounded by mortals who were coming and going out of the street.

"What is this place, why is it full of these mortals", Su Jun asked, scrunching his nose in disgust.

"This place is called market by the mortals, they buy and sell things here",Yoon answered as he had been to earth a few times so he knew some basic things.

"Hmm, whatever it is, i don't like this place, take me somewhere else".

"Okay", Yoon answered and immediately took them to another place, this time it was inside a big palace.

"Mortals are not talented,their craftsmanship is really bad, take me somewhere else, my palace is better then this small box", he ordered and Yoon rolled his eyes before both teleported to a different location.

"Look, this place is so good", Yoon said as he looked around.

"This place is not good, the smell of rogue is making my stomach churn, and why are these women wearing inappropriate clothes", Su Jun asked angrily.

"This is called a brothel and here the men pay to sleep and play with these beauties", Yoon explained, looking around the place with a beautiful smile on his face.

"How immoral, get me out of this place now", Su Jun screamed and finally the two of them landed in a forest.

"This is the last place", Yoon said, sighing.

"Take me home, these are just forests and trees, heaven's forests are more beautiful then this, there are not even any magical beasts here, coming here was a waste of time, Father would be back soon, let's go first", Su Jun said disappointed and Yoon just shook his head before opening the array to heaven again.

....

Back in the heaven, Su Jun quickly changed out of his clothes and ran to the eating hall to have dinner with his Mother and Father, when he got there he saw his parents were already sitting in their respective seats, he quickly came to them and bowed respectfully.

"Greetings Father, Greetings Mother", Su Jun greeted as he bowed to his father and then to his mother.

"Why are you late?", His father asked as he looked at the boy, who has sweat running down his whole body.

"I apologise Father, i did not know when my eyes closed and I fell asleep", Su Jun apologised, biting his tongue in fear that his father will caught on to his lie.

"It's okay, come and eat", his father replied and started eating again.

"Father, i want to take on some duties, i am sitting at home all day long, it's better for me to do something", Su Jun proposed as he looked at his father hopefully.

"I have told you before, you don't need to do anything,just stay at home and paint, just the way you like",his father replied giving him a smile that made shivers run down his spine.

"But, my son has already grown up, all the people his age have already taken on duties, even Yoon, so I was thinking Su Jun should start too", his mother said in a low voice.

"How many times should I tell you, my son is not like others, he does not have to do anything, just stay at home", he said in a high pitch.

"But", his mother tried to explain.

"No buts, what I have said is final, eat your food, i don't want another discussion on this thing again", his father said and the three started eating in silence.

After the dinner, Su Jun ran back to his room and lay on the bed sadly.

"My little prince, Don't be sad, you know your Father loves you, that's why he is like that", his mother said as she came in and walked to his bed.

"I know father loves me but that love is suffocating me, he does not let me go anywhere,let me do anything, what's the use of cultivating my whole life if I don't get to do anything, it's just a waste", the boy complained, nuzzling his face in the bed.

"I know, maybe once you grow up a bit more your Father will let you go out, he is just very worried about you", his mother explained.

"How much more should I grow up, all my friends are already married except Yoon and are working, father will never let me do anything, he will even punish me if he knows I went down to earth today" , Su Jun said miserably.

"Oh about that, did you find anything interesting down there", his mother asked, hopeful that this will distract her son a bit.

"No, it's just full of mortals and nothing else, it's just a useless place", Su Jun said as a pout formed on his face.

"No, earth is not a place that you can explore in just a few days, you should go down there while your father is away and spend some time there to understand things and see everything, i am very sure you will find something that you would want to paint" , his mother said calmly.

"Really?", Su Jun asked hesitantly.

"Hmm, why don't you go tomorrow too while your father is away", his mother asked .

"Okay", Su Jun accepted and smiled at his mother.
