Wailing Wall: Asia

[America]

The Great Wall of China, one of the great monuments tokening to Asian history. While also serving as a barrier, it serves another purpose. It also serves as a Wailing Wall.

Write your fears, regrets, sadness, disappointments, worries, etc. on a piece of paper and place it in the wall or just write what you want to say on the wall.

[North Korea]

North Korea rummaged through his coat pockets for a paper and a pen. He was currently in front of the Wailing Wall of Asia, the Great Wall of China. What he wanted to put, though, was a little note for his precious brother, which he hope the other will see. Taking out the only piece of paper he could find from his coat, a blue piece of paper, he took out his red click-pen and began writing a note, in pure South Korean, so no one else would understand… Except the person he wanted to address it to.

To my beloved brother,

I just want to tell you… that despite everything that’s been happening between us, that I still love you. I love you more than anything else in this world, and I’d give anything for us to be together again. I’m sorry for not being able to be more of a big brother to you… Time has robbed us of the opportunity to be together. And despite all that’s happening, remember that my heart is still with you, brother.

I don’t have much space on this paper, so I can’t tell you everything. I regret not having to tell you as much as I wanted to, how much I still love you, and how I still hold you so dear in my heart. I want to hold you again, little brother, and to snuggle with you at night, like we always did. I miss the old days, brother…

But as long as I see you, alive, breathing, and happy, on the other side of the peninsula… Even if I am not with you, I am satisfied and content to see that you are good and well. Despite our recent conflict… I really don’t want another war. I don’t want to point a gun at you again, like I did those many years ago. I don’t want that to happen again. I’d rather shoot myself than shoot you, little brother…

I hope that I can one day say this to you in person. But for now, I’d have to say this is the end of my letter. Just keep in mind, brother, that whenever I berate you, insult you, act like I hate you… I really don’t. It’s far from that. It’s all part of an act my boss wants me to keep. And I hope you’ll understand that.

I’m sorry for all my shortcomings. But all I can really offer to you, now, is my love that I had for you, that had never died, never will. I love you, brother. Keep as you are… Just stop claiming other people’s breasts, okay? :)

~Dae Jyun xoxoxoxoxo --What, don't look at me like that.

Pinning it up on the wall, North Korea swallowed some to keep the tears from coming, pulling down his cap towards his face to keep people from seeing the very obvious tears that were threatening to fall any minute. After pinning it up on the most obscure part of the wall (because part of him still doesn’t want his brother to see that) he quickly walked away, back to his territory, disappearing as fast as he came.
