Day-28 Religious?
...Religious. Huh. Well...
'Religion was powerful, undoubtedly so. It was the power of belief- of moral ideas backed up with years of faith and will and trust. It's a driver, a motivator for many deeds- a thing that drives people to act or abstain.
Religion has been used to stir people up into a strength they didn't know they had. It-'
Japan pauses in the text to glance over at the clock. It was 12:20- Yong-Soo should be back from church in a minute. He flips the book shut, padding across the carpet to to slide it gently back into a shelf.
Yong-Soo attended a presbyterian church- as many of his children did. He was famous for his super-churches, after all. Of course, he'd visit a Buddhist shrine here and there, but presbyterianism was his main domain.
In the beginning, Kiku was a little apprehensive about going out with Korea when he was a Christian. He was relieved to find that Korea didn't really seem to mind but winked and told him: "Well, da ze, in America, it's okay for people like us to be in presbyterian churches- not sure about my churches, but Yong-Soo isn't going to lose to him!"
He closes his eyes to count to three and surely enough- "Ilbon! I'm back!" The voice comes from the front, where he can hear the clink of keys, the gentle taps of footsteps.
"I am here, Kankoku-san." He says quietly, reseating himself comfortably on the soft white armchair. The door opens, and Korea greets him with a beam.
"Kankoku-san? I'd like to inquire about religion." Korea blinks, thrown by the subject. "Okay. Ask away." He says, smiling while settling down onto a white sofa.
"Ano...Are you religious, Kankoku-san?" Just like the preceding question, this one also thows him for a loop.
"...Am I missing something, da ze? Well, I guess so." He half-hopes that it's the end of their little discussion. Because he's thrown off-guard, and his footing isn't the surest on this rocky subject.
"I see. Thank you, Kankoku-san." Japan ends the conversation abruptly, smiling as if a question has been answered. Korea stares up at him, a clueless look on his face, question marks practically flowing out of his temples.
Ah, whatever. Let sleeping dogs lie, right? He smiles brightly again. "Hey, Ilbon, let's go make lunch." He slips out of the room first, singing happily as he heads towards the kitchen.
Kiku watches after, smiling too- touched. Arigato, Kankoku-san. (Thank you.) Thank you for choosing to be with me...
though you're religious...
though your religion is against it-
Thank you.
...-_-UUU Well, what did I expect? This is religion, after all. *sighs exasperatedly*
Obsessed-Language-Freak: ...It wouldn't let me post it- it said that it was 'unavailiable'. ?_?... Thank you! It was really cute- like how I imagine Korea to act. I'm glad. ^_^. It's like a survivor game for the reviewers, though- congrats, you're the last one standing! ...I think I should stop trying to drink green tea. It puts me in that mood where I want to try to write stuff like that. Is it, ^_^UUU? That's right- Go Yong-Soo! I hope that Arthur was in character. Oh, sorry about that. Thank you, I thought England might say something like that.
