Today was your day off and you wanted to relax, to get your mind off of work for a bit since something was a nuisance.

Walking around the Children's Grand Park, you forgot how you got here.

-

"Yo! Let's go hang out at the Children's Grand Park!" Hee Seul linked her arms with yours and hopped with you trailing behind.

"I mean, it's nice that we're having a day off but..."

-

"Why here in the Children's Grand Park though..." You muttered out.

You remembered you eventually lost her in the crowd.

Ah, she was THE nuisance.

You searched for a nearby bench. When you spotted one, you dashed to it and sat down with a sigh. Your legs were tired from walking with her. You stretched your body, still sitting and looked around for something to happen.

"Excuse me miss, may I sit here?" A woman with long brown hair and brown eyes, wearing glasses asked you. You saw a little boy hiding behind the woman's dress.

You were shocked that she could speak English but nonetheless, you still offered the seat. "Please do." You smiled at them and moved a bit to give space to the woman and the little boy.

You were craving for something sweet. A stressed person needs desserts, as what you would say.

As if on cue, a bell began to ring. You glanced to where the sound came from and saw a tall man, offering some ice cream to his customers. He looked too familiar.

And there, you recognized that person who was in your dream.

Why do I keep meeting people who were in my dreams? Was that even a dream?

The child beside you began to tug on his mother's sleeve and pointed to the ice cream stand, saying words like 'Ice Cream!' or 'Eomma!'. The mother signed in defeat and gave her son some money. The child began to smile as soon as he got it and ran to the ice cream stand. The mother was about to follow soon after but then noticed how far her son went.

"Eun Woo!" She yelled.

"Ah, I will watch over him!" You volunteered and dashed to the boy who was lost.

You patted his head to get his attention and pointed where the ice cream stand was. "The ice cream stand is right there, little man!"

The boy suddenly hugged your leg and looked up at you with teary eyes. "Noona!" He cried out. You ruffled his hair and held his hand to give him some reassurance and comfort. You walked together with the boy and went behind the line of the stand. You were hungry also and decided to get some ice cream too.

The line took so long to move it irritated the boy. He was clearly impatient.

Suddenly, he began to yell and throw tantrums. You panicked on the inside, knowing you'll get embarrassed with the look that people gave you and the little boy named Eun Woo.

The customers were also getting irritated and spoke Korean which you still couldn't understand. Eun Woo was also yelling gibberish.

You tried to calm the boy down and looked up to see the male behind the ice cream stand become upset and noticed you make eye contact with him. He suddenly motioned his hand to urge you to come front. You were getting more embarrassed and nervous but still went in front with the little boy.

Not to mention the man's eyes widened when he looked at you.

"¹ 안녕하십니까! 어떤 맛이 당신이 원하는 할?" The man smiled at the little boy. Eun Woo's face lit up and he chose a flavor. The man got to work and gave the ice cream to the little boy.

"And what about you?" He suddenly spoke in English which caught you off guard. It was odd.

"Any..." You muttered out but he managed to hear it. He then gave you the ice cream but your favorite flavor was the one on top.

"Oh, we have to pay-"

"Oh no need! Please accept it as my apology for not giving you guys sooner." Even after the commotion, he still put up a smile. Eun Woo said thanks to the man in Korean, which you could understand because of Do-hyun's lessons. You walked back with Eun Woo and the woman thanked you for watching over her son.

Speaking of lessons, you need to learn Hangul.

"Where, and who can teach me Koreaaan~" You whined.

"Bang Namjoon."

"Eh?" You looked back at the woman with Eun Woo eating ice cream on her lap.

"Bang Namjoon, he's my son's teacher. He's great in English!"
