It is only a day left before I leave for Seoul. Ever since my childhood, I have seen my Mother and Aunt Ji Won talking about fashion, runaways, designing seasonal collections. It was much later when I realised that I would love to opt Fashion designing as my major. Jimin seldom tells me that he knew about my knack for designing and art since I was a kindergartener. He has stacked all my colouring books and crayons up in the attic storage. I found out about them during my High school years. When I confronted him and enquire as to why he still kept them stored, "These are memories, don't tamper with them" he snatched them in embarrassment and kept them to their former place. That day I encountered the sensitive, mild and caring side of him, something he always keep hidden behind his playful actions and silly laughter.
Today is the weekend when Uncle Namjoon will be coming over our place. Kim Namjoon, The founder of BRISE LINEN, clothing line is my mother's childhood friend. He has always been a faithful and loving friend to my late Mother and proved to be a supportive big brother to aunt Ji won . It was really tough for aunt Ji won after my mother passed away and she received a sudden notice of divorce agreement from her husband. I feel really grateful to have Uncle namjoon and Jennifer with us.
Uncle Namjoon is a widower, he lost his wife an year before my mother's fatal accident. I have very rare recollections of Aunt Kim before she succumbed to Glioblastoma ( a fatal form of cancerous tumour in the brain cells). The only memories I have of her was when the two sons of uncle Namjoon , Kim seokjin ( the elder) and Kim taehyung( Jimin' s diaper best friend) used to visit with their mother. We kids used to exhaust our energy by running in the garden while the ladies gossiped over cup of coffee.
The scenarios changed over the years with the kids turning into adults and adults getting engrossed with work and livelihood.

"Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala" the ear deafening ringtone rang up for the 6th time in a row. Without being bothered to put off that loud intolerable sound , Jimin proceeded with his game affected.
" Is it going to hang up again being unanswered?" Jennifer asked Jimin sternly. Hoping that he heard her, Jennifer waited for an answer holding the marinated bowl of chicken. Few seconds later she returned to the oven, giving up.
