Winter's Love

-We just found out you have a fan base and it will be official. Let's work well together. Congratulations! N.

PS: We will take care of your office.

I read that text as I was watching TV in my house. It was very sweet of him to congratulate me. But what exactly did he mean: will we take care of your office? I tried to think of all the things that could entail, but they all seemed unlikely. I wrote him a message in response, thanking him. I searched among my things for paintings that could take me to decorate the office; they were paintings I painted long ago. Soon, when I had some time, I would paint again. For now I think those would fall perfectly in my new place. I received a call from Ale, who left me deaf celebrating the news that I was the director of an official fan base, interrupting my search.

"We're not dreaming, are we?"

-I'm still wondering -I laughed.-. This really was crazy. Even so, that means I will have more work.

-So? Will you be with them; should I remind you how much you fought for this? No one has spent as much time with them and their things as you do. Enjoy it. Tell me how they are, again, please -I shook my head, still smiling. I had to send her pictures of them before she died early.-.

-They're totally adorable. They've been teasing me since I was with them.

-Are you their friend? -She asked in surprise.-.

-Mmmh, I do not think I'm considered a friend in all letters. But as I am the person in the company, after their manager, who is almost all the time with them, they have welcomed me with open arms. I do not regret being here, I'm so happy that I can dance.

-Oh, speaking of dancing, I almost forgot. The dance group sent you a present. I hope that you arrive soon -My excitement increased.-.

-What is it? -The gods knew I was bad for surprises, they made me anxious.-.

-I should not have told you, but you need to watch for them. I will not tell you what it is. Since we are, the chorus scores you took them, how will I sing? -I rolled my eyes at her drama and walked to the kitchen to find something to eat.-.

-You learn everything by ear, why do you need them?

-That's why, you got me wrong. I do not speak of your papers, but of your voice -I burst out laughing.-.

-I can record them and send them to you later. When all my life is organized. Do you think you can hold out until then?

-Yes, after you do not send them to me next year, everything is fine.

-Ahh, I will not send them to you until you tell me that the boys sent me -A silence flooded the line. I knew how I know her that she was squinting and frowning.-.

-I'll tell you just because I know you're cruel enough to not send me the recordings -She took a deep dramatic breath before saying:-. They sent you a "bomba" skirt -Now it was my turn to let out a squeal of happiness. One of the things I enjoyed most about my country is its traditional music. I danced other types of dancing, but dancing "bomba" for me was always something else. I would miss dancing in the rain. How much fun it was! So in the times I could go with the dance group to small presentations. The same was true of the choir, I was not an official member of either organization, but I shared a world with them. I was going to miss them. I do not think my job right now allows me to do one thing or the other. Before, I was a woman with a lot of free time, now is not the case.-.

-They did not have to -I finally said.-.

-Yeah, they know it. But they also know that dancing without a skirt is not dancing, that's just not fun. So they want you that when you go dancing, probably in the middle of your house, you can use it.

-Of course I will. I would sleep with her if they left me.

-I don't doubt that. I don't know when it arrives, so you should be aware.

-Tell everyone thank you. As soon as I have a day off I'll make a video call to see them all.

-That sounds like a plan. I suppose you called your parents now, did not you?

-Yes, I supposed to call them, but I guess I'll give a video call from skype*. You know, maybe if they see me that will lower their degrees of anxiety.

-That bad habit of speaking with a mixture of languages, girl! I do not want to imagine that you speak half Korean and the rest in any other language you know.

-I do not do that! But I go out speaking in Spanish without wanting sometimes. It's the habit. How long have I been here? Two days? Three?

-Three and you seem to have spent a lifetime there. Maybe Korea is your source of luck. Because damn, you really super lucky.

-I know!! I was born to be here, right? -Ale mocked me.-.

-Now I'm leaving, don't get lost. We'll talk again tomorrow.

I finished preparing ramen that I had started to make and sat in front of the laptop to call my parents, who answered immediately. Their daughter was away and they were making a fuss about it. I listened more than 25 times not to eat only ramen, the truth is that today was that I had time to go to the market. And doing it alone was hell. Sun Hee told me he would help me, but she had a setback, so she promised me that on my next day off, she would take me to know the place and do the paperwork to get a driver's license. She told me I was going to need it eventually. I had to walk around the apartment to prove to my father that everything was safe.

"Dad, look: the door does not open by key, but by code. It is impossible for them to enter through the door -with the laptop I showed the window.-, and unless it is a superhero or a super villain, will not enter through the windows -After half an hour of repetition my parents decided to calm down a bit and say goodbye to let me sleep.-.
