"Next week is the Chuseok festival, as a tradition we're not going to have a class for three days." Ms. Yoon said as my classmates yelled 'yay'. Well that's the only thing that excites me about Chuseok, No classes, no assignments, no stress.
"But before that, you should comply all your requirements for this week. And you have to pass all your assignments and all your projects COMPLETELY. If you fail to pass it this week, I'll give you a special task you have to do during Chuseok. In short, NO FREETIME during Chuseok. So you have to do your best this time and don't fail yourselves." The room was suddenly filled with sighs and disappointments. With my classmates whining about those stuffs. Well, I don't have anything to worry about. I am responsible and I already did all the tasks Ms. Yoon gave.
It's going to be boring I swear. I already imagined my life during chuseok. Just surfing the net, eating my all time favorite comfort food-ice cream, sleeping, net again -until I get tired, eat again, sleep again, then the cycle begins. See? My life is so lame and boring. It's a freakin' three-day holiday you know? Unless, my parents would allow me to stroll around the town. I'll just think of and appreciate the advantages of chuseok for me. I'll be in a calm place. I'll be breathing the exact oxygen produced by plants. And feel the see breeze that would enter forcefully the window. The cold wind that never failed to soothe everyone's skin. And the shed of the trees that would make everyone relaxed and unstressed. I'll be staying in a non polluted environment. Just the nature and me. That's pretty cool.
My classmates were already planning about their Chuseok activities. Their voices were so loud. I don't actually engage with group talks. I'm more comfortable when I'm alone. I am not a loner though. It's just that, I can find my own peace in my own principles. You know that feeling? My parents already suspected me of having bullied in school because I don't have any bestfriend. Well I have friends, all of them are my friends actually. But we're not too close with each other. And to correct them, my life is peaceful in school. No one bullies me. Maybe because, they see me as a daughter of one of Korea's most influential person. I lived in a limelight and fame. That also serves as a reason why I wanted to be alone. I am afraid of being used and taken for granted.
"Class, only Daejun completed all the tasks I gave. Please work on it now if you don't want to suffer during chuseok." What a nice blackmail.
I am browsing the net while my classmates are doing their stuffs. I am checking on my social media accounts. Even though I am that kind of person- 'liking being alone', I still engage with these stuffs, well because I am a millennial. Oh. It's been a while since I opened my twitter account. I almost forgot the password. I saw many stuffs I have missed. I have like 2657 followers on twitter, not bad. I decided to post something after a long time. I opened my instagram account too. Well, I like photography you know. And yeah. I opened some games. Watch some music videos. And then again, I'm bored.
3 days after...
"Yeoboseyo?" I respectfully answered the phone call. Oh it's mom.
"What made you call?" It's me with my usual tone. Still having a chocolate lollipop in my mouth.
"Daejunie, prepare your things already, we'll pick you up at your apartment around 5:00 am tomorrow. We'll be heading to Ilsan inmediately tomorrow." My usual mom in her bossy tone. She ended the call and yeah. That's the usual scenario. Mom calls me like I'm getting suspended in school or that 'you're doomed and you'll get grounded' tone. I just laughed a little in a sarcastic way. I just remembered, Chuseok Festival is already starting tomorrow. Time check 6:34 pm. Actually, I already packed my things up since yesterday. And I'm already done cleaning my room. It's quite cold in here, so I turned on the heater. I decided to make some hot choco for myself. Cocoa powder with a little fresh milk and hot water, since I like marshmallows, I put some of it on the top of my drink. I threw my lollipop in the trashcan and I started slurping some of y hot choco. It's like a drug to me. Hot choco makes me feel good. One of my best comfort drinks. What shall I do now? I almost forgot my headphones at my cabinet. There are 5 important things for me, my cameras (the go pro and the DSLR), earphones, ipod, iphone and ipad. I mean there are 6, i forgot to mention the novels.
It's already 8:00 pm so I already ate my dinner- I only got a bowl of ramyeon, rice cakes, side dishes and a bowl of rice-, washed the dishes and decided to turn on the television. Since the shows tonight are so boring, i inserted my flashdrive through the cable and I'm gonna watch some movies, since I haven't watched any movies for a long time. The last time I watched a movie was like three months ago. I usually watch movies by myself. Nothing's new. I already decided what to watch, well I've watch this kind of movies for many times. Same kind of cliches wherein nerd meets playboy, nerd takes revenge, poor and rich love story and bla bla bla bla. It all makes me sick. I hate cliches but, I have no choice since this is the only movie I have in my flashdrive. Oh! I just remembered that I has an anime movie! 5 centimeters per second. I haven't watched it yet and I am so curious with the story. It'll took me an hour to finish this and I don't care. After an hour, yeah I already finshed it. The story would really twist your mind but it has a great plot. But the ending was a cliff hanger. It is already 9:30. So I decided to get up and go to sleep. I cleaned the mess at my living room and turned off the television and lights. Conserving energy and electricity is the best. So I gotta sleep right now. I don't wanna look like a zombie to my parents. I'll be sending a good night to the world. And pray and hope for a good night for myself. As what folks say, "Don't let the bed bugs bite."
