02: preparing for japan🇯🇵

It was late into the afternoon and Jackson left and everything was tidied up. I grabbed my handbag and house keys then headed straight out to get some air. I headed to the local park to just sit down. Then a little high school boy comes up to me in his uniform, I was confused because I thought after graduation there wasn't going to be school, in 3 weeks school starts again for the new year and class. So I called out to him and asked him why is he at school. He had a little attitude.

"Sir you need to have more respect to your older". I said to him and he gave me more attitude "why? You're just like me, human. Why should I have respect to my older, especially if you just graduated". I said. "You're right". I said "thank you" to the child one thing I never caught his name.

When I got home I made some toast and I sat down at the table in the kitchen eating until there's another interruption. Some knocked on the door and it was the same boy at the park. "Ahh come on you?!" He sulked. I let him in and took his drenched raincoat and umbrella. "Lady, where's the bathroom?" He rudely asked me. I kindly showed him to the tiny bathroom we had and I told him to put his wet clothes in the plastic bag on the floor. But he didn't listen to me and done what he pleased.

I have a holiday to Japan to prepare for and school. At that very moment I heard a key enter the front door key whole. My face lit up, I just wanted my mum to deal with this kid. I'm actually the second youngest so it's just me, my mum and my big sister. "Mum! Thank god you're here!" I spoke loudly while touching her shoulders.

"What's up?" She said in a panic. I said calmly. "There is a high school boy taking a bath in our house and he's rude I need you to take care of him while I buy the last things for Japan and school.

"Fine fine, this is not for free". She said while placing the shopping bags on the kitchen counter. I quickly unpacked the shopping bags then kissed my mum on the cheek and rushed outside.

It was becoming the evening so the shops will close soon so I have to be fast. I only had to pick up a few Korean instant meals and some clothes.

I Caught the bus and got off outside a huge store, I've never seen it in person before but it's really Famous and exo has modelled of it before and I've only see it on tv. The store was called spao

I said to myself "omg...wow, this is how you know I don't really go to Seoul just other places like Busan, gwangju and samcheok. I love Busan though". Then a man looked at me and started walked towards me. I just stood there like a melon.

The man questioned. "Umm miss...are you alone?
I said in a confused tone. "Yes, I am?" The man questioned again. "Do you have a boyfriend?" I said. "Yes and what's it to you? Sorry but not to be rude or anything but how old are you and what do you want from me? What's it to you if I have a boyfriend or not? I don't even know you, you just came up to me and started talking to me asking me personal questions".

The man said. "Wow, I'm sorry but it's just you look like a Kpop idol and you look cute". I said. "Ok here is some simple answers and then I'm walking away and going to go into that store before it closes". His face lit up and he said. "My name is Chon Song-Min and could probably make you a Kpop star or a celebrity and I'm 23 years old and I live here in Seoul, here take my card just call me whenever you change your mind". I said. "Wow thanks". Song min said. It's no problem and my business that you have a boyfriend is because I'm single and I'm looking for a girlfriend haha".

After he said that I bursted out with laughter i could help myself but I felt sorry for the poor guy I said. "I'll think about it see ya". I waved goodbye then walked into the store and brought plenty of clothes and accessories. Then I left almost broke but I get paid tomorrow and from my old part time job I had. They're paying me my last payment so that means I need to look for another job soon.

I stopped off at the convenience store and brought some snacks and then went home I'm officially out if money.

When I arrived home my mum looked really angry with me. "What's up mum? You look really cross". I said with a innocent look in my face then she yelled while pointing upstairs. "THAT CHILD IS A MENACE AND I CANT STAND HIM!!!"

I said. "Hey hey mum what's going on?" She said. "That fucking child is giving me mouth, he's being so rude, he has absolutely no manners". I asked where he was and she pointed upstairs and said "he's in your room". Once she said that I quickly ran upstairs like flash and slammed the door open.

He said. "Hey, I'm bored get me some clean clothes and then I'm leaving". I saw that he was emptying my suitcase for Japan and I said. "Ya! Stop emptying my suitcase". He said. "I'll stop once you get me some clothes". I nodded then went in my closet and pulled out a bag of Jackson's old clothes from last yeah that he left at my house.

"Look through these and find anything you like and get changed then you can keep them because they wouldn't be able to fit my boyfriend anymore". When I said that, he leaned closer and questioned. "You have a boyfriend?" I sighed then nodded and he said. "What?!" I walked out and left him to get changed.

I washed up the dishes for my mum and hung out the washing in the garden. Then she took a puff of a cigarette and I smacked it out of her hand. "What the hell do you think you're doing?

"Smoking what does it look like?"

I said. "Mum I told you to stop and you did, did he stress you out?" She huffed and puffed.

Later on that night

My mum fell asleep on the sofa and
I covered her with a blanket then went upstairs to sleep.
