—— Seori

Sitting in the kitchen, I happily nibbled on my breakfast, the warmth of the morning sun casting a gentle glow. The small journal lay open next to me, revealing the inked desires Jungwon and I had shared under the stars. As I traced his words with a smile, my mom, who was bustling around the kitchen, noticed the journal.

"What's that, Seori?" she asked, curiosity lining her voice.

I hesitated for a moment, deciding not to divulge the details of the journal's contents. "Oh, it's just a personal journal, Mom. Just writing down thoughts and ideas."

She nodded, seemingly satisfied with the vague explanation. "Alright, as long as it's helping you express yourself. You know you can always talk to me if there's anything on your mind, right?"

I nodded, grateful for my mom's understanding. "Of course, Mom. Thanks."

As I continued to enjoy my breakfast, I couldn't shake the thrill of the shared wishes hidden within the pages of the journal. The connection Jungwon and I were building felt like a delicate secret, one that I wanted to savor and protect.

As I continued enjoying my breakfast, a message notification lit up my phone. It was from Jungwon, a simple yet intriguing invitation. He suggested meeting at the racing house at 2 pm and even sent the address. A smile tugged at my lips as I considered the prospect of spending more time with him.

Texting back, I replied, "Sure, I'll be there at 2 pm. Should I bring Yeji with me? I heard Jake and her might be officially dating. Did he say anything to you about it?"

While waiting for his response, I pondered the possibilities. The racing house held a unique charm, a place where the rhythms of engines and the camaraderie of friends blended seamlessly. The idea of sharing the space with Jungwon, exploring the intricacies of our budding connection, filled me with a mix of excitement and anticipation.

Jungwon's reply soon arrived, his words appearing on my screen. "Yeah, bring Yeji along. And as for Jake and Yeji, I heard they're giving it a shot. You know how those two are."

A playful smile crossed my face at the thought of Jake and Yeji navigating the twists of their own relationship. With newfound information in hand, I quickly texted Yeji, sharing the plan and inviting her to join me at the racing house.

In a matter of minutes, Yeji responded, "Sounds fun! Let's go together."

The morning carried an air of anticipation, the hours ticking away until the designated meeting time. The journal, tucked away in my bag, held the secrets of shared wishes between Jungwon and me, a tangible reminder of the unspoken bond we were nurturing.

Later that day, with the sun beginning its descent, I walked downstairs, finding my parents in the living room. A quick announcement escaped my lips, "I'm going out with Yeji for a bit."

They exchanged glances, offering a nod of acknowledgment. My parents, aware of Yeji's role as my close friend, trusted the camaraderie we shared.

I strolled to Yeji's house, the excitement building with each step. Upon reaching her door, I rang the doorbell, a signal that our adventure was about to unfold. Soon, the door creaked open, and Yeji stepped out, a grin spreading across her face.

"Ready for some racing house fun?" she asked, her eyes reflecting the same anticipation I felt.

I nodded, mirroring her enthusiasm. "Absolutely. Let's head to the bus stop. It's a bit of a ride, but who wants to walk that far?"
