The Act

"Eomma, are you here yet?" I asked as I sat down on a chair.

"Ah, sorry, In-tak is coming to pick you up instead. I had a few small things to sort out. He said he's there"

"Oh, ok, see you soon"

"See you"

I stood up on my tiptoes to look for him when a voice spoke from behind me.

English: Bold   Korean: Normal

"Excuse me, miss" 

I turned around to see a tall man with a cap blocking his face. 

"Oh, yes" I responded

"Are you a parking ticket?"

"Sorry?"

What's with this guy?

"Are you a parking ticket?" he repeated

"Because you've got fine written all over you!" The man finally looked up, taking off his hat.

"In-tak! Jesus, you scared the shit outta me!"

He shook with laughter.

"You shoulda seen your face!"

I chuckled.

"Get over here" he spread his arms wide and I ran into them, laughing as he twirled me around.

"How long has it been? You've changed so much" he spoke as he set me down

"Me! Have you seen yourself? I didn't even recognize you, with your deep voice and long legs"

He laughed sheepishly. 

"Let's talk in the car, everyone's waiting for you"

Time skip

"Ni-ki's tall now too. He shot up like 3 feet in 1 month" 

"Wah! Oh, how are the guys? And Sunhee?"

"They're fine, you wouldn't believe it, but Sunhee and Sunghoon are dating"

The car suddenly swerved a little to the right.

"In-tak! Watch the road!"

"Sorry! But damn, I was kind of expecting it but at the same time, it's hard to imagine"

"Yeah"

"Hey, we're here"

We pulled into a large driveway.

"It hasn't changed at all"

"No, it hasn't"

I stepped out of the car as In-tak grabbed my luggage.

It's been so long.

"Ara! My babbyyyy!" my mom cried from the front door.
