8- Comfort

That night I couldn't sleep, since I kept on replaying the scene in my head, over and over again. But, it didn't stop from causing me to smile each time I thought about it.

The next morning when I woke, I was really tired, and my mom had to come in to shut the alarm and wake me up.

"Were you staying up all night?" She asked me when I came out of my bedroom after getting ready for school, as I headed towards the kitchen table for breakfast.

"No, I just couldn't sleep." I say, sitting down as my mom placed a plate, of what I could smell was some pancakes.

"Thanks mom," I say as I reached for the fork. I frowned. "Mom, where's dad?"

"Your dad went to work really early to cover a shift for someone who's sick today," She answered me, as she sat down at the table too.

"Oh..." I say, and placed a piece of pancake in my mouth, and began to chew.

The smell of my mom's perfume began to drift towards me, and I could tell it one of her special perfumes, only to wear on special occasions.

"Where are you going today?" I asked her.

"Oh," She says, a bit flustered. "How'd you know?"

"I could smell one of your special perfume," I say, and she chuckled.

"Well... I'm going for a job interview today."

"What?!" I say out loud in shock. "Mom, you got a job?! Where?"

"Now now, don't get too excited. It's only a job as a waitress at the restaurant where your dad's uncle works in the city." She says.

"You're going to do fine at the interview," I say, reassuring her as I reached for her hand. "They would definitely hire you, since you have a great experience in the working field." 

"Thank you, Sumin. I needed some support." She said, placing her hand on mine, squeezing it.

I smiled, since I was extremely happy for my mom, and got back to eat my breakfast.

When I ate my breakfast, my mom and I were discussing some things until there was a knock on the front door.

"I'll get it," My mom said as she got up from the table.

"Who would be at the door this early?" I ask, but she was already walking towards the door.

I listened closely as she unlocked the door, and opened it.

"Good morning Mrs. Baek, I'm here to return your container for the soup,"

After hearing his voice, I felt a rush of heat going up to my cheeks.

"Ah, kamsamnida, Seokjin." My mom replied. "How'd you like the soup?"

"Well, it was unfortunate that my family ate it all before I even sat down at the dinner table. It was that good. Kamsahamnida, for the delicious meal."

"Oh my! Well now that you told me, I'll make an even bigger pot of the soup for your family." My mom said, and he laughed.

"Are you on your way to school now?"

"Yes I am, but I'm also here for Sumin too. She lost her walking stick yesterday in the pond, so I want to offer her a helping hand, and walk her to school, so I wanted to ask your permission."
