Bom: "Mum, dad, Chu Seok left me to Seoul."
"What am I supposed to do when I have his baby?"

As I worried while talking to my parent's grave. I was pregnant after Chu Seok left me.

Bom: "Mum, dad, why don't you ever turn into a tree for me?"
"It's not fair when I don't even know what your face look like and I don't even have your picture either."

As I wept in front of my parent's grave. I've waited for his call for so long but he didn't call me at all. So it looks like a good bye to me when he is happy with his new life than me. He didn't even kiss me nor hug me before he goes to Seoul, his house was empty this morning when I visited his house. So I asked my grandfather what my mother and father looks like...

Bom's grandfather: "Your mother is so pretty like you, even though she look a little bit like you but you look like your father more when he was your age."

He told me.

Bom: "Tell me more about them."

As I softly spoke to my grandpa while I shed my tears down to my cheeks.

Bom's grandfather: "Your mother named you Bom, Bom means spring."
"Because you were born in the spring season."

He told me, then I smiled at him talking with me. In 9 months later, I gave birth to a boy in the hospital as I screamed in agony. Nurse let me hold a baby and it's a boy, so I named him Kim Mu Po.
