Jiyong’s P O V
[D-2]
I park my car silently at the garage. Before turning off the engine, I look at the digital clock connecting on my portable music player at my car stereo. It’s half past five in the morning already. I feel very tired after preparing and planning everything but the day must go on. Besides, this day will come for all the hardships. It excites me by the thoughts. I didn’t bother buzzing the doors because I know Dara is still sleeping. I don’t want to interrupt her beauty rest. As usual, the house is full of silence, relaxing, preparing for the day ahead. Walking straight to our room, I check Dara for a while. When I’m assured that she is sleeping peacefully, I turn my feet to the kitchen. I open the doors of the refrigerator to check if there’s something I can cook. I was surprise as I open the refrigerator is full of foods. There’s a bottle of kimchi, kilos of meat, mushrooms, zucchini, carrots, eggs, lettuce, cabbage, milk, juices, a lots of fruits like oranges, apples, dragon fruit and soju? Etc… I didn’t know Dara knows how to go at the market.
I retrieve my Cellphone at my pocket and dials Mom’s number and I hear the other line rings.
“Oh Jiyongie, Why did you call early in the morning?” Mom asks in panting tone?
“Mom, I’m sorry if I woke you.” I forgot. It’s early in the morning. I might interrupt mom while sleeping but why is she gasping her breath?
“It’s okay; I’m on my way to the hotel. I just finish taking an early walk. You know, Exercise. What about son?” I sigh in relief.
“Oh really? Mom can you come by here? I need your help.”
“For?”
“I just want to cook Dara her breakfast before she wakes up.”
“Great! You know what; can you please open the doors? I’m freezing here outside.”
“Eh? I thought you’re on your way to the hotel?” I walk through the doors and open it.
“When you call, I know you’ll need my help. So I turned my walk. Besides, hotel is not that far from your house.” I end the call at the time Mom enters the house.
“How come?” I ask in confusion.
“Mother instinct son.” I chuckles. I think that really works. She is the best mom in the world. She knows whenever I need her.
“Thanks Mom. You’re the best” I said to her and hug her tight.
“Save this moment for later Jiyong, for now, we need to start cooking before Dara wakes up.” Guiding her to the kitchen and opens the doors of the refrigerator. I saw her smile as if she expected this. She is not surprise that the refrigerator is full.
“Dara will be a really good student of mine. I’m not hesitating to trust her to you.” She taps my right shoulder making me feel guaranteed.
“I know right.”
“Okay, let’s begin preparing the cooking then.”
After an hour, we finish cooking and Mom leaves the house. Mom also helped me plates the food and prepares it to the tray. When everything is done, I take the tray and bring it to the room. Dara is still peacefully sleeping. Putting the tray down at the end of the bed, looking to her and realize, I want this to happen every day. I will never get tired waking up in the morning with this face. Her face was like a virgin goddess that no one can ever touch, her skin glowing more than a ray of diamonds shining from a light of the morning breeze of sun, her eyes that is so pure telling no lies about your beautiful day coming. Abruptly, her sleeping soul invites me with her to escape the cluttered world for a moment. I take a step to her side and pull the soft thick duvet, embracing her and I fell asleep.
