THE STORY OF PINKIES
“Adopted in Korean movie Windstruck”
Why do people joined their pinkies when they’re making a promise?
Once upon a time, there was a kingdom with a king and queen who have a beautiful princess named Yeo. The king and queen were getting older so they want Princess Yeo to choose a prince who will love and care for her. In the last round, five princes were left. The princess gave them a test. A test to guess what finger the princess chose and who will join his pinky with her. Four princes were wrong. The last prince who was Myungwoo guessed the right finger, which is her pinky. The two made a promise by joining their pinkies that they will love each other forever. Soon, they married. It’s not yet happy ending ‘coz the Crusade is coming. Prince Myungwoo will go to the war. He left a promise that he will come back.
But after ten years, no Prince Myungwoo came back after the war. The kingdom decided that Princess Yeo should remarry. One prince came…unfortunately, he didn’t succeeded. One day, a filthy beggar came in the kingdom. Everyone is trying to get rid of him. But Princess Yeo said that everyone deserves a chance. Yeo showed her pinky to the beggar. The beggar moved his pinky to her pinky like the old ones. It’s like a promise that showed that the beggar was the lost prince. She’s so happy.
Night came. The prince went away. The princess saw him. The kingdom said that Prince Myungwoo was killed while going home in the empire. It was his 49th day, the day the prince came. Princess Yeo then realized that it’s his last day on earth. He just kept his promise that he will come back. He did but not forever.
Princess Yeo loved Prince Myungwoo more than herself. In order to see him again, Princess Yeo committed suicide with their pinkies altogether like a promise they did last ten years ago. A promise that will keep them alive with the love they shared together. They love each other no matter what happens…
THE END
