WALK THROUGH WALLS

ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY TWO

EWE NYONDA,

MBONA UMENIKUMBUKA....

I woke up to the tune of this song by Kidis in my mind. Yesterday we had a long night talking about everything. The guys wanted an update about my daughter, my school life in Kenya and the hardships that I went through and I did exactly that. By the time I was through, we were all shedding tears.

*****************

"Seriously, was your father punishing you are something?" Sil asked.

"I think he just wanted me to live and have a serious African experience." I said as I wiped my tears away.

"I thought bullying is done in Korean schools alone." Yedam added.

"You always attended international schools here so you have never experienced Korean bullying." Minho said.

"Who could bully me? Remember I am of mixed race so even in my school, they tried but were stopped by the teachers after they knew that my background was not to be over estimated." I said.

"By the way, Woozi said something about a zoom meeting. When will you have it? I would want to see these kids." Soo Hyun said.

"True. They are so many and very famous you would not believe that we grew up baby sitting some of them." Joong said making all of us laugh.

"You remember the Lee kid, Taemin. I can't believe that he is in ShinEE of all the groups." Minho said.

"Is he the one that used to eat ants while he was young?" Sil said.

"Yeah, I remember that. I remember when his mum told my mother that he wanted to drop out of school in Pre school, my mum was so angry as if he was his own son." Minho said.

"Yeah. My mum said that if I try to pull that drama on her, she will cut my head off and take herself to the police station." Joong said.

"For me, I complained and asked my mother why Taemin was allowed to do so but I was forced to go to the fancy school and she told me that he doesn't have a mother like mine." I said.

"Your mother was a terrorist, sorry to say." Soo Hyun said which was agreed by all of them.

"That one, I can't disagree. She even scared Jackson Wang who has never met him when i went for the debate competition in China." I said.

"Jimin told me that when you were on the elimination list, they had an earful from mama." Yedam said.

"Seriously Lensah. With all our music prowess how did you find yourself in the list?" Sil asked.

"Don't get me started with that." I said and then I got a call from Thailand. It showed that it was a video conference call from Offroad. I knew that Perth, James and Saint would be in the call. I excused myself and then casted them on a large screen so as to see all of them. Bambam and Ten were also there. The call took around twenty minutes and it was all back and forth with mostly Offroad complaining of never being included in any thing. The five were just asking for forgiveness but still he could not settle down. Ten was shocked that Saint, Perth and James' flights were paid for by my family. That made Offroad even angrier. I promised to visit him personally in Thailand and stay with him for two days before inviting the three. He accepted and then I went back to the room where I noticed that Yedam was showing them the clip where I fell on stage and they were really laughing at it.

"But if you see clearly, Lensah was tripped. It was intentional." Minho said.

"Thank you, at least you are the only one who saw that." I said as I went and sat with them.
