"So Bitna asked me how were you?" Haeri said to Hoshi
"How is she?" He answer with a question
"She's adapting... she's having a hard time being there alone"
"Yeah..." Hoshi smiled but Jun and Haeri knew he was sad
"And you and Mei?" Haeri asked while taking a bite of her food
"Did you ask us to lunch just to get information out of us?"
"No... Woozi was busy and you were the one at home" She answer shrugging her shoulders
"Way to make a guy feel special" Hoshi chuckled
"Come on tell me, without Bitna I miss talking to girls"
"So you want us to date just to get a new friend?" Jun asked her
"You being happy and all that is a plus" she smiled
"You and her would get along. That's for sure"
"You haven't answer my question" she narrow her eyes at him
"We're fine.... I just wished we both were in the same country. It's hard... I wanna ask her to be more but then I think that maybe that's not the right thing to do"
"Have you think of talking to her about that? That isn't a decision you should make alone. Maybe she wants to try. You can't assume things" Hoshi said
"I didn't expect that from you" Jun was surprised " I'll talk to her the next time we're together"
As they continue talking and eating, Jun didn't notice Mei was calling him.
They were leaving the restaurant when he saw her call, but didn't call her right away.
Haeri saw him hesitant and wonder what's the problem.
"Why aren't you calling her?" She asked him "Hoshi is getting the car"
"I'll call her back home"
"Jun, I know I'm not like super super close to you but you can count on me to talk"
"You're family" he said to her "don't ever thing otherwise....I wished I feel comfortable to call her and tell her what's on my mind"
"You're afraid?"
"I am. If she wants to try and I fucked up in some kind of way or she doesn't want to try and breaks my heart. I finally got her back, I prefer to have her as my friend than not having her at all"
"You have a big heart and sometimes you doesn't allow yourself to be happy. Living with all that insecurities inside won't do you any good. When you're thinking about her, what do you feel?"
"Home" he smiled
"See? That's your answer. Even if she says no.... You'll find a way to cure your heart but if you do nothing you'll fill your heart with stress.... It's not good for you"
She hugged him, then they saw Hoshi coming through with the car.
Jun felt lighter after talking with Haeri, his thoughts are clearer. He definitely needs to speak to Mei.

I saw some photos of Korea
It looks pretty
Especially JejuIt is
The guys showed me around when I came here
It was the bestHow's the weather
It depends of the season
Right now?
It's coldish
Great definition Jun
Don't bully me
Like I ever did that
Mei....
Just a bit
It made you the person you are today
You should be thankfulI wouldn't have it other way
But why the interest in here?You're there
The reason you're learning Korean, right?
Another language to bully you with
I can't never win with you
But be serious nowI don't know
I never traveled because of my parents
I was daydreamingWhat's wrong with your parents?
My dad back is worse
He needs help at the store
So I never thought of leaving themNot even for some days?
You always talked about seeing the worldI did
People changeBut here we are you interested come here
I can help, you know?
I can buy the ticketJun
Money it's not the problem
I have my savings
The problem is leaving themTalk to them
Have you tried that?They'll say yes...
But my conscience won't let meEven if it's just a few days?
I would love to have you hereIf something happens those days I'll blame myself
You're thinking too much
Your dad would kill you if he knows you're stopping your life for himHe would
And me too when I'm in my death bedI know
Come here Mei
Just a few daysI'll think about it
