Chuseok 추석 ▶j.jk Fanfiction

02

I put on my white baseball cap and watched my reflection on the mirror at the train station. I'm wearing a pink sweat shirt that was tucked inside my tattered denim jeans and my favorite hi top white converse.
We're finally going to Ilsan. Mom fetched me at my apartment and drove immediately going to the train station. Since Ilsan is a little bit far from Seoul, we're going to take the train going there. It's faster and more convenient. Dad was already there. Wew. They are so excited about Chuseok.

"Let's buy some snacks, it'll take us 3 hours before we arrive." Mom said while heading to a convenient store at the train station I just nodded and followed her. The train hasn't arrived yet.

"The train number 624 going to Ilsan station will arrive in 10 minutes."

Finally, the train is here already. It's been a long time since I rode the train. It was last year, last year's chuseok. I don't usually visit and go to my hometown. I usually stay at my apartment during summer. It's kinda funny because I am just sleeping all day while the other people were getting ready for their summer body with their bikinis on, and I was just 'meh food is life'. I wanna travel. To travel is my dream. I wanna go to different places and explore the nature. I don't care if I do it alone though. I made a promise to myself that, after I graduated high school I will travel and enjoy my life. I am not forever young. I'll enjoy my youth days before it's gone.

We sat at the usual seat. I did the same thing that I always do everytime I'm in a train. Put my earphones on and pick my choice of music. I scanned on the novel that I am reading. My bag is heavy just because of my novels. And when I started to get bored, I took pictures and played games with my phone. This is exactly me. The train stopped at the first station. I can feel the coldness of the outside world as the door opened. People going out and some getting in. That's the reality of life. No one would know what would happen next. No one would know whose leaving and whose gonna take their place. No one would notice you unless you do something great or you have the power. That is how people nowadays think. That kind of thinking ended up with some sort of chaotic kind of feeling. They tend to be strong although it's hard, but inside them emotions were mixing up. They thought they could easily forget the things they want to forget.

"Did your dad told you that Yulli's here in Korea?" Mom muttered and took a bite of her potato chips.

"No." So she's here. She would have told me. She's been feeling sorry for me for a long time.

"Oh. I see. I hope things will get better for all of you." Mom choked.

"Mom I didn't want to see anyone. Maybe I'll just locked myself on my room."

"Being alone is not the solution. Remember that. You guys could've solved that problem a long time ago but you were such a coward." Mom replied with her stern look. I just nodded as a reply.

Enough with the conversations. I put back my earphones and decided to sleep.

"Daejunie! It's time to get off." I scratched my eyes until I came back yo my normal senses. I still want to sleep. I stood up carrying my bags. As we went off the train I saw dad and grandma.

"Daejun my grand daughter!" Grandma yelled while rushing towards me.

"Grandma be careful. You don't have to run you know. You may get hurt." I chuckled and run towards her instead and gave her a hug. Eversince, my grandmother was the one who took care of me and my brother while my parents were at Seoul managing their business. I remembered when I was 7, our christmas isn't that happy cause my parents were in Australia to meet their business partner, but Grandma managed to make us all happy. She cooked our favorite foods and gave us gifts. By that way she did that time, we didn't feel so lonely.

"I am just excited to see you again. I haven't seen you for a long time! You should've visited your hometown. You're such a loner." Grandma replied. It was obvious that she's annoyed.

"I will surely visit you more Grandma. Don't worry." My words made Grandma smile.

Dad cleared his throat saying we gotta go because it's getting late.

We're finally at home. I immediately went into my room and laid down. I missed this room already. I looked around, the arrangement is still the same. It is still full of stars and constellations. My room is galaxy themed that made me really relaxed. I checked my cabinet and saw some photo albums. I scanned all of it and I saw pictures of my childhood. So much happy memories in here. The memories I want to cherish forever but it'll just give me pain inside. I wanna go back in time wherein everything is fine and happy. I wish I could turn back time. I arranged the photo albums back and opened the drawer of my study table. I saw the box I made when I was in fifth grade. This box is really important to me. It is where I put things and write memories I treaseured the most. But I don't have the guts to open it. I am weak.

"Daejunie! Time for lunch! Get down already!" I went downstairs upon hearing mom's call. I can smell something delicious while goind down. Grandma prepared a lot of good dishes. I saw Grandpa and I rushed towards him and kissed him on the cheeks.

"I missed you grand daughter!" He said then hugged me.

"Let's all eat and pray first." Grandma led the prayer of thanksgiving.

"Let's all eat! Sweet heart, eat a lot! I prepared these for you." Grandma said with delight in her wrinkled face.

"Yes grandma! Thank you. By the way where is oppa? I haven't seen him since we arrived home." I already missed my brother. My partner in crime.

"He's getting home soon. He's with Yeji. His girlfriend." I was shocked with what dad said.

"What?! Oppa has a girlfriend?" Dad nodded in response. He didn't even told me. I'm jealous, oppa has another girl to look into for. I missed the old times. Me and my brother were really close to each other. But since he moved to Seoul to study middle school, I was so lonely. I was just in fourth grade that time.

"Daejun, have you heard about your bestfriend Yulli? She's here in Korea already." Dad choked and mom gave him a glass of water.

"I haven't heard from her dad, and mon just told me about that earlier." I missed Yulli so much. She's my bestfriend after all. We used to wear the same clothes and have the same hairstyle. We also both like to put on make up. We both excel in arts, dancing and singing.

"Ok, if that so." Dad replied while finishing his hot bowl of seafood stew.

I was so happy to see my family today. But I'll just lock up in my room for the whole remaining dats that I will be staying here because I don't wanna celebrate something, especially Chuseok. I hate it.
