i hurriedly went downstairs once i had been called by one of the helpers saying that parents wanted to have a breakfast with the two of us, i mean. . me and jiwon. and i was wondering why they are still here when they could be at the hospital already, knowing the both of them, they would like to spend all their days at the hospital than staying here for nothing.

todays the second week of our summer vacation already. yeah, it has been two weeks since we ended of me being a third year nursing students. . and just two months, im already a graduating student.

when i went to the dinning, all of them are there already even jiwon and helpers are serving our meals. they didnt dart me a glance except for jiwon who let out a small smile the moment our eyes met. i greeted the three of them a good morning before i sat on my designated seats while pursing my lips. i dont know why do i feel so nervous like as of they're going to announce something that will surely affect me during the whole summer.

ive known my parents that much, and the silent treatment and the sudden having a breakfast together early this morning was really up to something. they're up to something i dont know what was that all about.

after the helpers served our meals, mom was the first one to move to serve her own plates next one was dad and the last one was both me and jiwon. both of us are carefully serving our own plates like as if were scared to do some mistakes which made me realized that it wasnt just me who felt nervous, but also jiwon. i could see how her hands was trembling when she's trying to put the hotdogs on her plates. parents really made the two of us like this. they are both seemed like a king and a queen inside their own castle.

"we'll be having a seminar at jeju this coming week. . your dad and i decided to take the both of you there with us."

and the moment mom ended her first statement, jiwon and i shot each other a glances but i looked away first because for sure parents would see that the both of us doesnt like the idea of what they decided. i jerked my head to mom and the moment our eyes met, i just nodded in agreement. in agreement because first of all, wala naman kaming magagawa ni jiwon kundi sundin sila, both of us knew we cant do anything about it. they were both oblivious about the things we like and we dont.

mom cleared her throat once again. "pack your clothes good for one week right after this talk. we'll be flying tomorrow afternoon and you both know us, we despise being tardy so manage your time." then again, both jiwon and i nodded as an agreement.

"choi. . choi seungcheol."

i stopped from slicing the ham on my plate and my eyes stared at the foods in front of me when i heard dad called seungcheol's name out of nowhere and he even said it in a slow motion like as if he was making sure that the name he would mention was correct. my heart automatically beats faster and i could feel the three of them are looking at me prolly waiting for my reactions and to what im going to say. paano. . i mean, paano napasok si seungcheol dito? paano nila nakilala si seungcheol?
