Until I Found Her

Dragon-Pheonix Chopsticks

'Mei Hualin really loves to sing,'

That's what Kim Roksoo thought as he watched her singing and swaying left and right while cooking pasta in her kitchen.

'And dancing, too, I guess...'

They had been in close relationship for years, now. And during those time, Roksoo have noticed many weird quirks of this chinese-born woman.

Hualin actually can't be still for long. She could, of course, keep still when it's important. But other than that, she would began to tap her fingers or feet without a thought. It's instinctual.

Hualin would began to sing when she's focused on doing something, especially when she's baking or cooking. And with that, she would began to tap her feet on the floor or nod her head instinctually.

When she lost on her singing, she would not care about her surrounding at all. She could do a very high note in the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping without a care. But if someone managed to interrupt her singing, especially when she's on the reff or the high note, she will not hesitate to get angry.

It's really weird, but at the same time, also cute.

It was so very Hualin.

Hand in my hand
And you promised to never let go
We're walking a tightrope

She sang full heartedly, while stirring the carbonara sauce on the pan.

She turn off the stove. She then twirl as she take the cooked pasta before she mixed it with the sauce on the pan.

High in the sky
We can see the whole world down below

She tiptoed to her kitchen cabinets looking for a big wooden spoon, before she twirled again to comeback to her pasta.

Walking on tightrope

She gripped the wooden spoon in front of her mouth, like a mic should.

Never suure

Ah, here it is. The high note.

Will you catch me if I should faaaaaaaaaall?

She let go of her voice, completely lost in her song. Ignoring the pasta that had not finished yet to be place on the plates. And very completely ignoring Kim Roksoo who watched her antics, the very same Kim Roksoo who said that he could never forget.

"Oh, do you want extra cheese on top of your pasta?"

Then she asked, so casually. Like she didn't just hit the high note like those idols on TV before the cataclysm.

"Yes, please."

"Right away!"

Well, it's all an adventure
That comes with a breathtaking view

She twirled, again, as she sprinkled the cheese on top of the pasta.

Walking a tightrope
With you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Hualin skipped on her way to the table Roksoo sat in. He's a little worried that she would tripped on her foot, but it seemed his worries is unfounded because she's clearly pro at doing this.

With you...

She finished her song with a smile, as she placed the pasta with orange juicez on the table in front of him. "Here's your dinner!"

He shakes his head. "Thank you,"

"You're welcome!"

They ate in silence, after. And Roksoo realize in amusement, that the only time Hualin did an activity with focus but without singing was eating. She would focus on her food whenever she eat, even when she would slipped a few things on his bowl for him to eat.
