As the next row of students stood up and exited their seats in an orderly fashion, like they had rehearsed the day before, a rather rambunctious and large family barged through the doors. Their presence had most definitely interrupted the silent and suffocating atmosphere of the room and all the heads in the vicinity immediately turned toward their direction. They were making a great deal of noise but who could blame them when there were five grown adults and seven children, including a baby, in the mix.
The gymnasium was packed and it was a miracle that they were able to find seats to accommodate their size. They had to sit a little further behind than they would have preferred but as long as they were able to witness their daughter walking across that stage and receiving her diploma that was all that mattered to them. Once they were all settled, the administrators deemed it fit to continue on with the ceremony.
"Did we miss her already?" A woman in her late forties panicked as she rocked the sleeping infant in her arms. She was scanning the room anxiously, ignoring all the weird stares she was getting.
"See, this is why I said we should have left earlier," a girl no younger than fourteen stated as she shook her head apprehensively. She never liked her family's habit of always procrastinating and putting things off until the last possible second, especially on days as important and significant as today.
"Saeyoung, be quiet. You know we had to wait for dad to get out of work," her twin brother defended as he rolled his eyes.
Saeyoung frowned deeply at her brother's command and crossed her arms against her chest indignantly. "Why don't you just shut up, Younghae," she shot back, not even bothering to look his way.
Younghae sucked his teeth at his sister's foul attitude and as he was preparing to fire back with his own ammunition, he felt someone poking his side. He glanced over to the left and then down to where his younger sister was stationed. She was carrying her favorite teddy-bear as she blinked innocently at him. "Oppa, did we miss her already?" she questioned, pursing her lips outward.
The boy scratched his head and shrugged. After, he checked his watch and said, "We're only thirty minutes late. I doubt they already reached her class. We'll see her, Aesook. Don't worry about it."
"Oh my! Yumi, I think I found her!" another woman exclaimed as she nudged her sister-in-law excitedly.
"Where?" Yumi cried as she tried tracing her gaze.
"Right there, auntie! She's waving at us!" another young boy confirmed. Next, he quickly climbed up onto his chair. With both feet planted, he cupped his small hands around his mouth to project his voice. "Arang noona is the best!" The people who were surrounding them had a mixture of reactions to his action. Some thought it was cute and adorable while others found it to be disturbing and disrespectful.
The boy's father pulled his son back down and sent him a pointed look. "You know you're not supposed to do that, Sooha. You're supposed to wait until your cousin gets called first." His father then broke out into a grin and winked.
