[ON HOLD till March, 2022] Ms.Hammurabi Lee Ji Eun

176 days before (Wish list)

I didn't need an alarm clock to wake me up this morning, thanks to the so-called trip to the countryside and i-don't-know-what-to-call "meeting" with Jungkook from yesterday.
As usual, like other weekdays I did my morning routines. Brushed my teeth, made my bed, get changed, and had breakfast.

During the breakfast appa, omma and my little brother were sitting together in the kitchen having breakfast, talking and laughing. But suddenly appa asked me

"Jieun-ah, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Mwo??"

"Aghh, it's that ... you know that I go to a bar every Friday to watch soccer with my friends?"

"Yeah ..."

"There is someone I met two months ago at the bar ... and we are of similar age and have pretty common interests, so we've become closer. And from listening to what he talks, and what I talk about our families, we thought that it will be fine if our kids met... He has a boy who is 20 years old just like you and, named ..... ugh I don't remember but ... so what do you think?"

"You're unbelievable appa! How can I just meet a boy without knowing whether he is a good person or a bad person?"

"I can't guarantee you whether he is a good person or bad, but I saw him with his dad at a bar once, he looked fine!"

"You can't judge people by appearance, dad"

"Do you think I didn't have a conversation with him?"

"Ummm ... so what are you implying?"

"I know that you are busy with your classes and projects but remember that you're young ... it's important to enjoy your youth when you have the opportunity. I'm just worried that you'll become older without noticing and become someone who doesn't have good memories from her past"

"It's okay appa, I have friends, you know Suzy and Jiye-" I was cut by Dad

"I had friends too when I was your age, I thought that I was happy because I had them, but when I first met your mother when I was 20, my life completely changed! I even didn't know those feelings exist. Friendship is different from love, you know. And as you can see we've been living happily ever after for 24 years." he looked at my mother wearing those eye smile.

"I get what you're trying to say appa" I looked down at my plates.

"It's okay, Jieun-ah, you don't have to be scared, if you don't like him, just don't see him again. I just want you to experience different feelings and things when you're young and have a chance"

"I see, appa ... and if I don't go now, I won't make it to uni on time. See you soon, appa omma and you" I winked to my brother and left the house.

12:40

"So your father wants you to go on a blind date?" Suzy asked

"It's not like a blind date, but someone who he knows ... he just knows his face, but he doesn't know his name"

"Ha, uri Jieunie will go on a date? Huh? Sounds like we have to teach a lot of things" Jiyeon laughed

"Hey, who told you that I haven't dated before?"

"It's written all over your face!!!"

"I've got a lot of experience actually"

"From who?"

"From the fiction books that I read hahahaha"

"You punk, I knew you would tell that hahaha"
