Seoul, South Korea
she inhales the fresh air of Seoul as she began walking towards the taxi line that has been searching for customers all day long. the tall buildings and crowded people excite her a bit. she has always been in love with Korea since the day she discovered Kimchi, traditional Korean cuisine that is very common and special in South Korea. besides, it's her mother's home country after all.
but the reason why she and her mother had to move to Seoul wasn't really pleasant. a month ago, her father died because of a tragic car accident. it broke down the family. she, on the other hand, felt numb and tired that she got no tears left to cry anymore. when her mother told her about the move, she just nodded and hoped that her life in Seoul is slightly better.
"haneul, come on we're here" her mother said.
her mother's voice broke her thoughts as she nodded and got out of the car. she looked up to see a decent-looking building which is her new apartment. she looked around the area near her apartment, everything seems nice. there are many food places, a nice park, a convenience store, cafés, and even a shopping mall.
"do you like it? i picked this apartment with a great price" her mother said as she dragged her luggage inside. again, she just nodded and quietly followed her mother.
the elevator stopped at level 25, meaning they have arrived at their apartment. the hallway seemed modern and minimalist making her smile a bit. the feeling of walking in an expensive modern hallway makes her heart flutters. her mother quietly entered the password as they both finally got inside.
"ah, finally home sweet home" her mother sat down on the sofa while closing her eyes, feeling tired.
home. she looked around observing every detail in this apartment. it looks a bit different from what she used to live in but that doesn't mean she hates it. looking at her half-sleeping mother, she smiled feeling grateful to her.
despite everything that had happened, her mother still stood strong and makes sure that she got the best in everything. haneul sighed and sat down next to her mother, hugging her and whispered 'thankyou' as her mother nodded and caresses her daughter's hair.
this is it, her new home.
a new start to everything.
