Daegu, South Korea (2017)


Mark experienced an incridible treatment by Irene's lovable parents. His prescription to her father were absolutely wrong. Even though her father looks like a lion king but his attitude is like a lion king to his child, caring and sweet. The same with his father, Papa Tuan.

His awkwardness faded away naturally as soon as they started a long chitchat. But since they had no enough time, they said goodbyes to them after a long conversation.

Their job is to look for Teacher Sangyoon. The main reason why they travelled from the capital to this town.

"We're here." Irene said, in front of the small house.

All bad memories suddenly flashed back through her head, past keep on haunting her. She smiled in pretense. Mark has no idea what really happened before. Those things that she nearly hopes to took her own life.

"Are you all alright?" Mark asked. "By the way, are you sure that this is the place that your friend told you?"

"Yes. She told me that his house is in alley besides the restaurant of briquette bulgogi. And its number is 1421." Irene responded. She took all those haunting memories in order to recover.

"Then, here it is."

Irene nodded then she pressed the doorbell. She pressed it for three times before someone came out.

"I-Is that you Joohyun?" a guy said with a full-smile. His age could be twenty above that looks like a million dollar, he had the same ages with Irene.

"Minjae sunbaenim!" Irene shouted in a surprise look. "I thought you were in Canada."

Minjae was smiling while opening the gate

Minjae was smiling while opening the gate. "I did. But homesick kills me so I came back after a few months. How about you? What brings you here?"

"I came here to have some favor to your father. Where is he?" Irene was too straight-forward.

"He's inside." Minjae can't take off his eyes to Irene. It is the same stare he did ten years ago.

Minjae lead the way into his father's place. They entered a room that looks like an office and the old man was sitting there, reading a book.

"Sangyoon seonsaengnim.." Irene called him.

Sangyoon lifted his head and made an examining stare. "Who..are you?" his voice sounds really old.

"I am Bae Joohyun. Do you remember?"

"Joohyun? I don't remember you."

"Father, it's Hyun-ah. Your ramyeon student." Minjae interrupted.

"Ah! Our Hyun-ah!" Sangyoon stood up in excitement. "You look so beautiful. How can you grown up like that?"

Those three begun to jokes that makes Mark to be out of place. He thinks that there is something with Minjae and Irene.
