You spin around, scanning your surroundings, and realize you're lost. You've been walking for 10 minutes, trying to find the convenience store to buy some groceries for your Mom.
A cold breeze sends a shiver down your spine as you figure out what to do next.
"Mom said to turn left after two blocks so it must be somewhere around here," you mutter. You've never been good at following directions.
From where you're standing, you can see a park and a diner that's closed. It makes sense that the diner is not open yet, after all it's just seven in the morning.
The park on the other hand is not empty. You spot a woman seated on a bench and approach her for directions.
"Excuse me ma'am, could you tell me how to get to the convenience store?"
The woman takes one look at you and immediately breaks into a smile. "Oh my god, you're Yuna's daughter aren't you? I've seen your photo at your mom's home. I bet you don't remember me at all, do you?"
"Uh not really," you reply shyly.
"I used to come over frequently back when you and your brother were little kids. I heard you moved back in a few days ago."
"Yeah we figured we'd stay with grandma for a while."
You could see the woman's eyes pitying you. You realize she probably knows the truth, which surprises you because your grandma doesn't share such things usually.
Fortunately she doesn't ask anything further and gives you the directions. You thank her and continue your walk.
You take a deep breath.
"I have to admit the air does feel much fresh and peaceful here than it does in Seoul," you declare.
Hopefully things will be different here.
While you walk, you come across the biggest house you've ever seen in your life.
It's a beautiful mansion that represents the modern version of a bungalow. The exterior is sleek, with large windows and clean lines. A spacious lawn surrounds the house, and you can see a sparkling swimming pool and a basketball court in the backyard.
It looks like something that came straight out of a movie. But despite its perfect condition, the place feels empty, like no one is living there.
"Life is so unfair," you say out loud. "God what I would give to live in a house like that."
Just as you finish your sentence, you hear footsteps. You turn and watch a boy jog out of the mansion, along with a dog.
Your eyes widen when you realize the dog is not on a leash. You've always been scared of dogs after one bit you in second grade.
Your heart thumps as they both head towards your direction. You turn on your heel and immediately start running away from them, taking cover behind a tree nearby.
The dog and its owner pass by you. You notice the boy give you a weird look.
You sigh, glad you're safe and continue your walk.
A few minutes later, you see the convenience store loom around the corner. Happy to have finally reached it, you immediately hurry up and enter the store, grabbing a basket.
"Annyeonghaseyo," you greet the elderly woman seated behind the counter and begin your hunt for groceries.
You pull out the list your mom gave you and check off each item as you add it to the basket. Another customer comes in a few minutes later but you're too absorbed in your work to notice.
Once you're done checking off everything your mom needs, you realize that you're thirsty. You head to the drinks section.
You scan the shelves but can't find what you're looking for. Just as you're about to head to the billing counter, you notice something in your peripheral vision. There it is—banana milk. A smile creeps across your face.
There was only one banana milk left and it's on top of the shelf, too high for you to reach. Nevertheless, you try grabbing it, standing on your tiptoes.
You almost touch the bottle when suddenly, out of nowhere, a hand comes and snatches it.
Frustrated, you turn around to see a handsome boy staring at you, clutching the banana milk in his hand.
He's so tall that he's towering over you.
You narrow your eyes suspiciously. He seems familiar.
Isn't he the guy who was running earlier?
You notice the beads of sweat on his forehead, confirming your suspicions.
After watching endless dramas, your delusional brain waits for the handsome boy to hand the banana milk over. You hold your hand out expectantly.
Instead, he just keeps staring at you. If you didn't know any better you'd say that he looks confused, like he recognizes you from somewhere. You pray that he doesn't. Your first encounter with him was way too embarrassing.
When you're about to open your mouth to ask for the drink, the boy turns and heads to the billing counter, leaving you alone.
"What the...?"
After a few seconds, you snap out of your shock and follow him.
"Hey!"
"What?" runner boy asks, clearly annoyed.
"You took my banana milk from me," you say, pointing a finger at him accusingly.
"Your banana milk? I got it before you did and besides, I want it," he says, leaning against the counter and staring at you, once again.
"Well so do I!"
"I saw it first."
"I made a grab for it first", you say, not backing down.
The boy lets out an exasperated sigh and bends down until his face is just inches from yours. You gulp when you realize how close he is.
"Your tiny hands couldn't even reach it Shortie. It's mine." He pats your head and stands up again.
"I do NOT have tiny ha—"
He pays for the banana milk and leaves the store, completely ignoring you. You remain transfixed, wondering what the hell just happened.
You consider confronting him outside but you recall the presence of the dog.
You let out a loud groan.
"What a jerk! I'll be the happiest person if I never see him again."
