Deep in the mountain, a little spring,
Who will come to take a drink ?

Break of day bunny wakes,
Rubbing his eyes he gets out of bed,
He comes wash his face,
But takes a drink and runs away.


You unknowingly hum the song you were taught in your school.

No sooner had you opened the door your worried parents rush at you.

No sooner had I opened the door, my worried parents rush at me.

"What took you so long? I was so worried." Your sulking mother inquiries

"You worry too much." You complain and jump onto the man with a face-splitting grin who has both of his hands stretched to catch you.

The poor basket lands on its own face making your mother sulk more and grumble as she proceeds to collect the shattered vegetables.

Your father is always busy. You do not get to see him that often.

He cradles you for a while before his phone buzzes. He puts you down and strolls casually to living room.

He is getting more phone calls nowadays. Moving to a new place can be a pain but a promotion is something worth celebrating.


I go back to my room. Packed boxes everywhere. It's just 11 o' clock.

I do some random scribbling which turns out to be a dog and a bunny.

I didn't even notice it took me an hour to finish the drawing until eomma calls me to take a bath. After taking a bath and having my meal, I take a long nap.

Chattering from living room wakes me up. What I see in there shocks me. It's a family get together ! Wow ! Everyone I know in Busan is here ! My appa's colleagues, eomma's assistant teachers, their kids and my relatives. Even Katy unnie !

"Woah ! What's happening !?" I exclaim in delight.

"Surprise surprise." SiHyuk oppa comes forward and starts tickling me.

"Ahahaha ! Oppa stop !"

Finally he shows mercy and goes to stand next to Katy unnie.

Oppa and unnie love each other very much. They look so cute together. They are even planning to get married in the near future, maybe next year.

SiHyuk is my cousin. I don't know how we are related. It's complicated. He's 26 years older than me. 30 years old now. He's a professional psychologist. Katy unnie is a teacher in training.

I want to find my one true love just like them. Who doesn't want a happy ending ? A happily ever after ?

I finally take in my surroundings. Our living room doesn't look the same. Now it's decorated with tiny lights. Table full of snacks and sofas full of people. What a warm afternoon this is !

The tablecloth in dining room is hard to see since it's covered with colourful plates upon which sits the love of my life, food. The whole house is flooding with smell.
