It’s been a week since my graduation, time flies so fast and until now I really can’t still believe that I will be flying to Seoul and be in Seoul for the next hours. I hear nothing other than the noise made by Benj. Even our car feels the heaviness of the atmosphere, since, this is the first time that I will be leaving my family for quite some time.
“Wow, I now believe that dreams do come true.” As I broke the ice
“Huhuhu… Sis, I wanna come with you. I’ll try to fit myself in your luggage…. Huhuhu… I totally envy you! The air that you will be breathing in later will be the same air that BAP, Boyfriend, Secret, SNSD, TVXQ… Ah no, TVXQ is in Japan during this hours… and Big Bang, sis, the men of your dreams! You’ll have a 100% chance to see them up close and personal!”
“That’s a big question mark, sis. Seoul is way too big for me to have a chance to see them, but, I’m still hoping so…”
“Chin, you might be forgetting the reason… your scholarship, baby, you need to take good care for that, because, only a few people are granted to have this kind of opportunity.” My dad reminded.
“Your dad is right, baby girl, but, if loneliness strikes. We are just a click away and always pray before you sleep, because, you will never be in your position right now without His help.” My mom added.
“And sis, always be with Seung Joon, Oppa, for you not to be lost.”
“FYI, sis, he’s a Filipino citizen. Born and raised here in the Philippines.”
“You will never know, sis. He’s a true Korean in blood. He might be speaking in “their” language when he’s at home like those Fil-Am that I know.”
“Fil-Am?”
“Fil-Am spazzmates in the internet.”
The remaining minutes of our travel become full of laughter, spazz mode and of course, a few sermons coming from my parents. I will truly miss this moment in my months or years in Seoul. It’s exactly 12:05pm when we arrive in NAIA, just the right time for our 2pm flight. From Benj trunk, my dad helps me to bring out my luggage. After bringing it out, a warm hug coming from my dad makes a single tear to drop from my eye. I am trying to hide my emotion up to this time but I certainly really can’t. From just a tear drop, buckets of tears are now falling from my eyes.
“After invading the stage, TOP of Bigbang is starting to conquer the screen…”
Just days after the contract signing, TOP became the headline of all the local showbiz news in Korea. From just being a supporting actor and a known villain in some drama series which became his stepping stone to start his career in acting, now, he will star as the main character in a drama together with one of the best Korean actresses of his time. In line with this project, rumors and false news about TOP spread in the internet which is very predictable in the showbiz industry.
“No, that’s not true. He’s not dating anyone!!” TOP’s manager ended the conversation with these tons of ambush reporters and paparazzi and walks in the building where TOP’s condominium is situated.
The security guards secure the entrance of the building, so that, not a single reporter or paparazzi could enter the premises.
“Don’t worry. They’ll get exhausted soon.” TOP’s manager assured.
“I’m already used to this.” TOP replied.
“Just chill here for a while and never ever answer any calls from unknown callers.”
“Yes, I know. I’ve been hearing that for years. How can I forget about that?”
“I’m just making sure.”
“Excuse me, Sir. Is there anything that you wanted to eat or drink?” TOP’s maid asked his manager.
“A glass of cold water will do.” He answered as he places his three phones on the table and starts to expect mountains of calls and texts.
For the last time before I enter the airport, I give my mom, my dad and my sister a hug. I slowly walk away and never give them my last glance, because, I might again have a break down. I can now prove that those scenes from dramas and movies are truly inspired by real experiences. I am still taking my time feeling this movie-like scene. Until, a hard tap on my shoulder destroys my award winning moment.
“Hey, Chin! Why don’t you just give up your scholarship and just be an actress? Gosh, that was a very very… entertaining… show.” Seung Joon teased.
“You! You --- Park Seung Joon!! Will you stop talking to me! We’re not even that close!” I irritably replied as I remove his hand on my shoulder.
“Whoa, easy?! I’m just trying to make you laugh. I think you’ve lost a lot of your body’s fluid.”
“FYI! Tearing up is one way of showing sincerity and freeing yourself from the heaviest emotion that you feel inside… It is better to lost body’s fluid, because, it is easier to regain it than keeping your emotion which may result to heart attack or in the worst case, death!”
“Wow, you’re really a total package just like a 3-in-1 coffee pack. Believe me, you will never be vacant when it comes to work… A heart slash emotion guru, an actress and an engineer! Wow!”
“If this man says another word… I’ll let him taste the wrath of my fist.” I told to myself. (A line coming from my most favourite K-Drama.)
“Did I hear it right?! You’re speaking in Korean?! For years that we’ve been in the same school, you don’t know that I can understand and speak fluently in my “own” language? I may be a Filipino citizen but the blood of being a Korean flows in my veins.”
My bad! I should have just listened to my sister and now I don’t know what to reply. If I will tell him that I just memorized that thing, he would probably burst in laughter and endlessly give me his crunchiest tease.
“Flight Q126001 NAIA to Incheon International Airport, please proceed to the departure area.”
The heavens favour me. This announcement saves me from humiliation.
“Your luggage looks heavy. I’ll just take it.” Seung Joon offered as he takes my luggage.
I really don’t know why and how he turned himself into a gentleman, but, I let him take my luggage! Well, I guess that he needs it to complete his jet-setter look.
“But, aren’t you bringing anything?”
“See, I got everything in here.” As he points his black leather bag pack.
“A--- Are you sure?”
“Yes, ‘coz some of my things are already there in Seoul in our ancestral house.”
“I thought that…”
“As you said earlier, we’re not that even close. So, how would you know that every vacation, I fly to Seoul to visit some of our relatives?” He ended and turned his back.
