Linked To You II

LTY II: Perplexed

Hong, Joshua

I am really glad to spend some of my time back here in Los Angles. I have been home for the past months because I haven't given up my American citizenship and I still need to fulfill my duties back in my home. And since, I haven't seen mom for the longest time. I miss her. I spend most of my time with her.

I am going back to Korea next week since the two will be discharge and it will also be the end of my vacation and stay here. I am just enjoying it so I decided to come to the amusement park today because it's been a long time since the last time, I visited this park.

But what are the chances that you will save a young little kid from being kidnapped by this hell of a ugly personality guy. I was watching him because I have seen him bravely standing there at the corner even though he looks really lost to me and seems to be waiting for someone to arrive. He caught my eye that instant because at his age which is around three or four, he wasn't crying but bravely waiting even if the ice cream cones were already melting on his hand.

I was watching that kid from a far, but to my shocked when I turned my eyes back to him, there was this other guy who was forcing him to go. The little kid instead of crying fought back so I already made a move and went towards him but it will take me minutes before I could reach him. I also panicked because he was so fragile and I don't want to neglect a crime that will be possible to happen.

I called the security immediately and look for him as fast as I can. I don't know why I was pushed to do something this hard. But I have felt like I really need to save the kid.

Couple of minutes of going against this crowd, something bumped into me. I saw him look at me and my eyes were permanently glued to the kid. Gray eyes. It's been a while since the last time I saw this near a person with gray eyes. I didn't expect but he was that kid. I converse with him shortly but I suddenly felt like I have seen him somewhere but where?

"Daddy!" he called me that and I sweat specially when he got up and hugged me like his real dad. I couldn't get why but I was too comfortable with it. When I know myself that, that word crushes me and I became so traumatic because of that. This kid is an exception.

Protecting him was the best I could do and I was thankful that I did it. But I staggered more when I saw the boy's mother. It was like the world stopped and began to continue spinning again for me. It's almost five years the last time I saw, the same pair of eyes that we've been longing for. It's been a while since I saw this person and no matter what she still has the same effect on me. She was still the same pretty lady anyone could ever like and love even when hugging the two kids to her arms.
