The Dessert Place Down The Street

Chapter 2 - The Plan

Yes, yesterday was a really hectic day but we all figured it out.

Tomorrow morning, we woke up to a beautiful sunrise, something we don't find in Lansing that much. I rose up from my bed and blinked my eyes. There was really nothing I can do, so I just went on my phone.

When my parents woke up, they decided to have breakfast at their relative's house. We woke up my siblings and got dressed for the day. We called our relatives to come pick us up. My uncle, aunt, and cousin we're all nice to us and were really happy to finally see us. They'd promise to take care of us as long as we're here. And that was the problem...we didn't know how long we were here for.

My mom called us for a conversation. She told us that we will stay here for a week and after the 7 days she'll get our opinions about Korea, and ask us: "Here or Osaka?" It was a hard choice but it was planted in my head....but I won't tell you😏.

We went to the lobby and saw my uncle's car drive up at the entrance. "Annyeong!" my little sister yelled. It was a bit embarrassing, at least for me. We got in the car and drove to their house. We smelled aromatic food from the kitchen. Their house was like a mansion! It was hard to find your way to the kitchen. But it was wierd because they couldn't fit rooms for us. They prepared egg toast, rice, galbi, radish strip kimchi, and 2 different kinds of soups. Ive been starving since I woke up. So we started digging in.

We talked at the dinner table and our relatives asked us questions and we answered back to them, just like everytime I meet other relatives. I tried the soup, and it wasn't my taste. I really just ate the galbi, rice and egg toast without the egg.

After eating breakfast, they wanted us to stay for a while. I went on the couch and watched some YouTube. My sister was jamming to K-Pop. It was so loud, all of us can hear it.

🎶Oh wait til’ I do what I do

Hit you with that ddu-du ddu-du du

Hit you with that ddu-du ddu-du du🎶

The bad thing...was that I knew the dance and the song.

My parents talked about my siblings and I to my uncle and aunt. My cousin was off to work. I was getting really bored and I only had a phone to play. My mom gave my laptop to my little brother for the time being because he forgot his toys. I grabbed a snack from their pantry. I took a Hello Panda Chocolate Flavored because, why not?

2 hours later, 11:27 am

"Okay it's time to go!" my mom says. I got up and, along with my siblings, went to their car and the uncle drove us to the hotel. We waved goodbye and went to the elevator to the 6th floor. When we reached the 6th floor, my mom signaled me. "Son, I have very exciting news! We found a school for you!" mom said, happy. I was dumbfounded. "Don't worry, it's an International School! Your uncle will pay!" Mom said. "Ok," I replied. I was uneasy, not because it was an international school, but because of school in Osaka. It can't be that different, I thought. Oh well.

I sang lyrics to myself quietly on my bed,

🎶hollin deut nal ttarawa

modu hwanhohae🎶

I stopped. I was getting hungry. I called my parents to get something to eat. We decided to walk to Maple Tree House, Korean BBQ. It wasn't that long, just in Itaewon-Dong. So we started walking there and figured out what we might eat for dessert. Glad we got this situation figured out.

After eating, 1:42 pm

We decided to get cake at PLANT Bakery, near Maple Tree House. I got the Mocha Espresso Cake, and 3 of my siblings shared 1 1/2 slices of Chocolate Peanut Butter cake, the other 1/2 brought home.Both my parents got some coffee. We said goodbye to the cashier, my cousin. So far my stay at Seoul was going great. There's just one more thing:
