Your warm heart

1-An unexpected encounter

Another morning came in Seoul, and people are very busy, one of them grabs his phone and the other runs for a job interview, and the other misses the school bus, but I'm still asleep, I open my eyes... and if the sunlight hits my eyes right... The university is unreasonable, it is unreasonable, I quickly got dressed and ran at the last moment, my mother arrived.! I said: Oh, thank God, you came, my mother. You're late! Oh my God... I woke you up before I went. It's good that I came back." Sorry mom, it's really good that you are there, I ran to the car and my mother went, and I received a lot of messages and calls from my friend Set Biol, her message says that the students of the class were completed, and only me, my God, I may not be able to enter The hall, my mother is racing for time. Finally, we arrived, and I ran towards the hall, and took a breath and opened the door. The students and the professor looked at me as if I was a criminal breaking into the classroom.
The teacher said angrily, I couldn't even say hello, why are you late? Hannah replied, "I will forgive you this time because we are at the beginning of the year and because you are a distinguished student!" Hannah: Oh, thank you sir, I found an empty seat, but not next to Sit Byul, how could she do that, she said she had booked a seat for me, left one place near one of the students, there was no trick but to sit next to him, it was cool The features were so cold that I felt cold when I sat next to him, the professor called the names of the students to take attendance, and he called "Park Hannah". "Hana" looked at Asahi in shock, "Is it possible that he is!" No, maybe the names are similar. I had a childhood friend named "Asahi." Asahi was not just a friend, I found him all the time, in my sadness, in my joy, Every time he always supported me, he is of Japanese origin, but he came to Korea for his father's work, and by chance his mother's friend, Asahi's mother studied with my mother in high school and university and graduated together so she is my mother's closest friend who returned to Japan and after a few For years, she met my mother again after returning to Korea with her husband and son. Asahi learned the Korean language at a young age, so he also spoke Korean fluently.
.........." Let's go back to that time 12 years ago, to tell the story "Asahi. I used to go to Asahi's house every day; let's play together. She replied, "I'm sorry" with a smile, "No, you didn't." Hannah said, "What are you doing?" He replied with a smile. Asahi: I found a butterfly, it's as blue as your eyes, look! "Hana" (Oh, yeah, beautiful) looking closely at the butterfly, and then directed her focus towards the caterpillar. Asahi was looking for her outside the park, and Hannah was watching the caterpillar, and moments later, I noticed "Asahi" went out to the street and followed him, running behind the blue butterfly. Asahi, Hannah stood in place, and froze from the intensity of fear and pain, ((and that day and the painful accident is still engraved in my memory)). ((Oh, it seems that I fell asleep at the table during the lecture, it was 'Sit Byul' is trying to wake me up. Set Biol' Hannah Hannah, why are you asleep, are you sick? ((No, I suddenly felt drowsy, I'm fine, don't worry!)) Hungry, didn't you go hungry, Jahan?) (Yes, I'm hungry, let's go). (So what are you going to eat, Hannah)
(As usual, fried chicken and some rice) ((So stay here, I will get meals quickly)) 'Sit Biol' insisted on Hannah because she's tired. (But Sit Biol)) and she couldn't complete her sentence until Set Byol hurried to prepare the meals. Hannah was still thinking about Asahi ((I don't think it's a coincidence, I think it is him, but if he really was he would have known me. Shet Biol..... Sit Biol: Hey, what are you thinking? What's wrong with you? Hannah: Okay, I'll tell you that, that student named Asahi, I think I know him, or maybe... Sit Biol: Ah, well, this student, he was studying with me in Japan, I was shocked when I saw him here. Hannah: If you know him, Set Biol: Ah, no, that's not that knowledge. He was a student in my class. He was alone and had no friends. He was so cold. They called him a ghost; he was never talking until during the time. Class Share, if you say you know him?How do you tell me?Hana: Well he was a childhood friend. Your speech, I'm telling you now, Seit Biol: So what happened? Hana Well, he had a car accident and returned to Japan for an operation in the head. He performed the operation and it succeeded, and then we lost contact with them. Anything about them, his mother was my mother's friend, just that's it.
Saet Byul: So do you think it's him?
Hana: I don't know, maybe it is him or maybe not. I think I have a picture on my phone of us when we were nine...look.
Saet Byul: Oh my God, he has the same features, he has not changed.
Hannah: So what?
Saet Byul: What! It's him.. Why don't you go and talk to him?
Hana: Me...no, it's impossible. What should I tell him? I've been your childhood friend for 12 years, and then he seems like he doesn't recognize me!
Saet Byul: No, he may recognize you, but he feels shy. Come on!
Hana: No, the bell rang. Let's go back to the hall. We arrived at the hall, and Saet Byul did not allow me to sit near her. I went back to sit near Asahi. The professor entered to give us a lecture. He distributed the project papers. The idea of the project was for each student to visit archaeological sites. In Seoul, or old places with a history, I searched for my name and found it, and the project partner was Asahi. Oh, he is with me in the project. I feel like I will see him a lot, and I look forward to working with him, even though he scares me. He really looks like a ghost. How cold I felt while he was sitting next to me.
The professor talked about the project and said: You will share the work on the project. I look forward to seeing your presentation of the project, and remember that the student whose colleague holds all the project work while he is lazy to do what was asked of him for the project, he and his colleague will fail. You must work collectively and there will be a winning project as well. Work hard, I hope. good luck .
The lecture ended, and all the students were talking about the project, except he did not speak... Haaa, he is drawing, he is really weird!! The bell will ring in minutes...five...four... Three... two... one and the bell rang. It is the most beautiful sound the students hear, haha.. It is time to go home. I will sleep... it is the first thing I will do.
I opened my phone and it seems to be a message from my mother. She is in the restaurant waiting for me. It is her own restaurant. It is not large, but it is full of love. Everyone who enters it becomes happy, other than the delicious food of course. Oh, I have to hurry. Guess who I bumped into. Yes, it is Asahi. I signed his papers and my things. Of course, because I was running like crazy, even though my mother said, "Slow down." It was only because she was alone and the restaurant was crowded, so I ran like crazy. I apologized and helped him pick up his things, and he also helped me, but he did not say anything. I apologized again, and when I suddenly turned to continue on my way... he called me: "Hanna!" Wait.
At that moment, the color of my face disappeared. I don't know. He had been silent all day and ignored me as if he did not know me.
Oh yeah, is there something wrong?
Asahi replied: I think we are going to the same place, "your mother's restaurant."
I said to myself: "Your mother's restaurant." How rude could he say that? My mother is like his aunt and his mother too! He could have said "Aunt Donna."
I took a deep breath and said: Yes, yes, I am actually going there!
He said: It is good that I met you because I do not know the way well.
Okay, I understand, come with me!
While we were walking, I wanted to say something to kill the boredom and silence..: So we are partners in the same project together)) He does not answer, has his speech battery run out or what?
Asahi: Yes! Asahi took off his hat and saw that he was wearing it

Asahi: Yes! Asahi took off his hat and found that he was wearing headphones, so he took them off.
I said: Ah, I was saying we are colleagues on the same project!
Asahi: Yes, it's in a week.
I nodded yes, then silence prevailed. I said to myself, "What! Headphones? I called him twice. He was wearing headphones. So how did he hear me when I spoke to him? I would lose my mind if I stayed with him any longer."
We finally arrived at the restaurant, but in reality we were a little late in walking due to the crowding, so when we almost arrived, there were about three customers. They were elderly women from the neighborhood and they are regular customers in our restaurant. I greeted them.
One of the grandmothers said with a smile and then winked, "Who is this boy, girl? Won't you introduce us to him?"
Well, well, it's not what you think, grandmothers. It's... Do you remember the boy who always played with me when I was little, Asahi? Do you remember him?
Grandmothers: Yes, yes, we remember him...is he...
Yes he is Asahi!
My mother came out of the kitchen... (Oh, mother)) I waved to her..
My mother: Hello, dear.
I pointed with my eyes towards Asahi, and my mother noticed and said: What! ))
I said ((Don't you know him?))
Then she looked carefully again at Asahi, who was sitting at a table in the front of the restaurant, and then said: Asahi?...
Yes mom it is!
Suddenly, Aunt Natsumi (Asahi's mother), my mother's dear friend who she had not seen for years, entered! My mother's eyes were filled with tears, and so were Aunt Natsumi's eyes!
Aunt Natsumi: Donna...
Mom: Natsumi...

My mother hugged Aunt Natsumi and they both cried. It was a touching scene, and to lighten the mood I said: But why the crying, why not celebrate!
Aunt Natsumi laughed and hugged me too. Asahi also came and greeted my mother, and my mother and Aunt Natsumi sat talking and laughing. They were very happy. As for me, I went out for a little while in front of the restaurant and walked with the snow globe (Asahi). Of course, it was my mother and Aunt Natsumi's idea... It is unthinkable that it could be. My childhood friend, but I feel like there is something there, and I don't know it. I must know what it is!
Aunt Natsumi called back, telling us that they should go home; Because it was late, my mother invited her to dinner next week, but I was still thinking about Asahi, I wonder what is wrong with him.
My mother noticed that I was distracted, and said: Actually, what is wrong with you?))
I !! No, nothing!
Mom: Enough, Hana, I know you well. You always get distracted when there is something going on. Tell me, my daughter!)
Well I'll tell you mom... Aaaaaa Asahi!
Mom: Yes, what's wrong with him?))
He was really strange all day, as if he didn't know me at university, and when I met him on the way to the restaurant, he recognized me. Something's wrong, I'm sure.
((My dear, you have not seen each other for many years, and you have grown a lot, so perhaps he seemed strange to you, and perhaps you also seemed strange to him. You just need time. We all need time to adapt!))
Okay... I understand, mom, thank you. I hugged her.
Mother...by the way, didn't you ask Auntie Natsumi why contact with them suddenly stopped?
((Okay, I'll tell you, but don't panic!))
I was worried...well what?
((There was a fire in the house, a very big fire. Fortunately, your aunt Natsumi and her family were outside the house. She said that she had forgotten her phone at home, and the house and everything in it burned. I tried to remember our phone number, but I did not succeed, and so contact with them was cut off, and we ended up not knowing anything about each other. Some for years, but the important thing is that they survived that fire!
-Yes, mother, that is true. The important thing is that they survived.
Mom: By the way, I'm confused about what to cook tomorrow.
-Oh...what do you think of grilled fish?
Mom: Okay, and what else?
-Hmmmmmm... kimbap, bologi, and also japchae... haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa also for a sweet dish...it's the hodukkkkkkk!
Mom: Oh, amazing suggestions...so we need to go shopping!
-Yes...that is true, but why are you asking me?...Aren't you the professional chef who usually suggests dishes)
Mom: Oh, let it go now, haha, a professional chef. I'm just an ordinary cook in an ordinary restaurant.)
-What is this now, you are making me bring out the "Tickle Monsters"!
Mom: Ha-ha-ha, what are the tickling monsters? Haven't you grown out of that yet?
- No, your daughter will not and will never grow up. The tickle monsters have no age. We show them when those we love are sad, and therefore you are the best professional chef in this world, whether you like it or not, and everyone sees that, and if you do not see that, I will show the tickle monsters, haha.) The tickle monsters It was the only way to kill sadness and all the negative things, not all of them, but I felt really better, and the tickling monsters still removed sadness.
Hannah headed towards her mother, walking in a funny way, with her hands facing forward like a cat. She arrived at her mother's place and quickly started tickling her mother while she was laughing. Hannah was able to make her mother laugh and bring joy to her heart.
My mother: Okay... Okay, stop. I'm tired. I won't say that again. Laughing at this age has become a little tiring.
- What ! Will I bring out the tickle monsters again?
My mother: No, no, I have had enough... and I will not say negative words again.
My mother and I finished our work in the restaurant. After the restaurant closed, we headed to the supermarket to buy some groceries.
