Ji An's P.O.V
"Omma, Appa. I'm here, I got in!.
I got the scholarship for Chaerim High school" She chuckled in between sobs, placing a rose beside the ceramic that held their ashes.Her heart lingered on memories they shared together, all the inside jokes she made with her Appa. All the gossips she shared with her Omma. Her watch beeped, signalling for her to leave. She glanced at their pictures one more time before leaving.
It was like her parents were trying to send her a message, seeing as droplets of rain began to pour down. She tucked her scholarship processing paper in her jacket, using her hands as umbrella before arriving at the bus stop. She saw an Aljumma cussing at the rain, as her two kids glanced at Ji an weirdly.
She later came down at her stop, and the rain stopped gradually. She thanked her stars that she didn't have to run all the way home soaking wet.
Ji an plunged the key into the hole, as the door opened, an aroma of Kimchi enveloping the whole house. She removed her shoes, and entered smiling. The usual aroma of the house, made her feel she was at the right place.
"Ji ani how did it go ?" Her aunt, wearing a brown apron yelled from the small kitchen counter.
And then it clicked, she had totally forgotten about the wellbeing of the papers.
Her eyes almost bulging out of it's suckets "The papers!, Otteoke!" She digged in her pockets and brought out a wet crumpled paper.
"At least it's not wet" She sighed.
" Anyways, I'm going to work and there's Yeolmu Kimchi and rice for you and Aerin. I'll see you guys later " her aunt said, closing the the door after her.
Twenty minutes later, Aerin strolled in with her headphones on, singing butter by bts. She stopped in her tracks, rushing to Jian's side.
"Ji anniii, Did you get in?" She pouted.
Jian's face contorted into a fake scrowl, as Aerin rubbed Jian's palm tenderly "It's okay, you can try another school. I'll let you have some of my Kimchi okay?"
"I passed!, Really?. You'd let me have some of your Kimchi?" Jian teased as Aerin grumbled all the way to her room.
"Really?!, You're so kind Aerin ahh" Jian giggled, as Aerin was stuffed with anger.
