Because it's Friday, work day, I wake up early. The white sun seen as yellow is just starting to rise, casting a soft golden glow over the quiet city.
As I step outside the comfort of my home, a gust of humid wind embraces me. The streets are lonely, with only a few early risers occasionally passing by me.
Most are elderly people who are going to the shopping plaza for the monthly purchase.
The air is filled with the tantalizing scent of street food stalls preparing for the day ahead, an aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafting from nearby cafes and into my nostrils.
My stomach calls out for breakfast.
Lush green trees line the streets of the boulevard, nicely providing shade from the increasingly warm sun. Beautiful flowers in various hues of pink, purple, and white bloom in the well-tended gardens, evoking memories of what was once my life.
Why is this day so lovely?
Then I pass by a small park, where some families are already enjoying their morning picnics, and I'm immediately reminded of how me, mommy and Myungho used to do that, too.
A long, long time ago.
I take a deep breath, savouring the freshly wafting morning air, and feel a renewed sense of energy coursing through my veins. It's mobilizing.
With each step, I get closer and closer to meeting my favourite people.
Sadly, Hyunjin will be there to make my day a living hell. He's going to ask so many questions I'll sure want to tape his mouth.
And that's exactly how it is.
The millisecond I step into the class, the jackass lifts his head. He raises his brows suggestively and smirks.
"Don't even." I set down my bag— still kind of moist and dirty of sand— on the table, grimacing at him.
That just makes him grin mischievously even more.
"So. Spill."
"There's nothing to tell."
"No kiss? no lovey dovey? no.." he wallows teasingly.
"Damn you." I fight the urge to cuss him out since the kids are playing around us.
"Seriously now. Did you guys at least hug?"
"He hugged me."
Hyunjin squeals excitedly, as if he's the one that experienced that. "ahhh, that's so adorable! tell me more."
"We just walked around and talked."
"Mmmhmm?"
"He uh," my voice wavers, not really knowing how to tell him. He will definitely freak out. Shoot. "confessed."
