Wishing For Your Love

Chapter 6 ~Memories~

Weeks have gone by, Mona and Hee Joon have already moved into Hee Joon's parents house. The night sky looked so beautiful, Mona and Hee Joon got together and sat in front of the porch; star gazing. Hee Joon turns to face Mona and softly puts his hand on her cheeks. Mona looks at Hee Joon nervously thinking to herself. "Is he going to kiss me?" Then seconds later Hee Joon leans closer to Mona and kisses her on her lips. It felt so weird and Mona wonders."Is this really happening? Am I dating Hee Joon?" Mona opens hers eyes. The sun hitting her face, she turns around and thinks. "It was just a dream." Mona sits up on her bed. "What was that? That's so weird." A knock on the door interrupts Mona from her thought. Mona rubs her eyes and gets out of bed to answer the door.
"Good morning!" Hee Joon's mom says with a big smile on her face. "Oh, good morning Mrs. Lee." Mona lets Hee Joon's mom in to her room. "I just want to come tell you that Mr. Lee and I will be away on a business trip for a while. So I was hoping I can ask you for a favor." Mona turns her head towards Hee Joon's mom. "Yes, of course. How can I help you?" Hee Joon's mom reaches her hand out and holds on to Mona's hand. " can you help me keep an eye on Hee Joon? He's been acting really weird since he moved home." Mona nods her head. "Of course! He is a really awesome friend and he means a lot to me. I'll make sure to keep an eye on him." Hee Joon's mom gets up and heads toward the door. "Ok, I'll see you guys in a month. Take care of the place for me." Mona follows behind to close the door. "Yes, I'll see you soon." Mona closes the door. Still with her hand on the knob she turns herself facing the door with her back. Then a sudden flash of memory occurred in Mona's thoughts. She remembered Ken's mother making the same request to watch over Ken as well. This made Mona feel very uneasy. Mona sighs then she lets go of the knob and walks over to her bed. Falls backward and pauses for a minute. Then she pops up. "Oh shit! I forgot I have an interview to go to." Mona quickly gets off bed and rushes in to the bathroom.
In a tall office building that Mona have applied for a secretary position, is a firm that uses a lot of English so it was perfect for Mona. At the information desk, Mona asks the security what floor she needs to go. The security guard pointed over to the elevator and said "Take that elevator up to the 15th floor. You will see a lady at the front counter, she will send you to the right place." Mona takes the badge that the security guard gave and walked over to the elevators. While the elevator door starts to close, Mona lets out a relief sigh, someone shouted. "Hold the door!" Mona reaches her hand out to stop the elevator door from closing. A guy walks in and bowed at Mona and said "Thank you." Then the guy continues to hold the door open. Mona looks down wondering about her dream from this morning. Another man walks in to the elevator and the door closes. Suddenly Mona felt a light tap on her shoulder and she looked up. She sees Ivan standing in front of her waving as he lets out a bright smile. "Hey, we meet again." Mona looks away. "Why didn't you call me?" Ivan says while trying to get Mona to look at him. "I don't know where I put the paper." Mona lies and looks away. "Hm.." Ivan calls the guy over and whispers in his ears. "Yes sir, I will do that." The guy answers. Then Ivan turns back to Mona. "Are you here for an interview?" Mona nods. "Can you meet me at the lobby when you are done? I have a meeting to attend to." With out hesitation, Mona nods her head. "Great! I'll see you later." The elevator door opens. "Is this your floor? Watch where you're going. And stop bumping into things." As soon as Ivan said that, Mona bumped her leg on the desk where the receptionist sits. Ivan chuckles and the elevator door closes. Mona watches the elevator go up. The numbers were going up higher and higher. "How many floors does this building have?" Mona thinks to herself.

The interview was not long, but there were quite a few candidates that came. When it was Mona's turn, she was super nervous and was not sure if she would have to know how to speak Korean. Or if she needed to be able to read and write in Korean.

Luckily all the interview questions were asked in English and Mona was able to answer each questions smoothly. Her worry and nervousness have disappeared and she was filled with confidence.

After 30 mins, Mona have walked out of the interview room with a smile on her face. She then remembered Ivan's words from the elevator, she started heading towards the elevator. After a couple of minutes, the elevator have stopped.

       While Mona waits in the lobby, her anxiety kicks in. "Why am I here? Why am I waiting for him?" Mona have thoughts and memories floating in her head. She looks out side of the glass window in hopes that it could calm her nerves down. There was a light traffic pattern in front of the building. Mona distracted herself by watching cars and pedestrians walking. A sudden loud screech of a car braking hard in the middle of traffic sends Mona back into a memory and remembered the day of the accident. Ken had told her to meet and wait for him at the coffee shop and said it was something important he had to tell her. But as soon as Mona sees Ken across the street running towards her, a car had suddenly appeared and crashed into Ken. Mona paused for a few seconds not knowing what to do, she quickly got out of her seat and ran outside to where Ken was. Mona grabs on to Ken, places his head in her arms screaming for help. Hoping that someone will help her call the ambulance. Ken's last breath had told her to be happy. Tears began streaming down Mona's cheeks.
From a far distance, the guy from earlier was walking up to Mona. He was holding a bag. He greeted Mona and handed her the bag. "I am sorry ma'am, Mr. Kim is still in a meeting. But take this and he will contact you later." Mona looks at the bag and bows. "Thank you." The guy turns around and walks away. Mona did not open the bag to see what it was, she just headed out the lobby door.
