The Border Of Us

Ji Ya Tour (Pt. 2)

Ji Ya's POV
We were walking for just a few minutes until we decided to get a "taxi." I stepped in while Kyeo Weo followed in amazed of everything as usual. I told the taxi driver to go to the King Sejong Statue. Kyeo Weo grabbed my arm tightly when the taxi sped up. It wasn't that fast, I guess he was just new to that kind of speed.

I didn't mind it at first because he didn't hold it that tight. Until, the taxi was driving speedily in curves that he gripped my arm tighter. It felt like my bones had a fracture. I wanted to shout but I might scare the driver and we'll die. I just placed my lips in my mouth and squinting my eyes trying to hold myself from screaming.

I smacked his hand, signalling that I'm getting hurt. He knew what I was talking about. He just smiled and released his hand. We arrived after he released his hand, such good timing. We went to the statue to take pictures. I taught him how to use the cellphone. He immediately knew how. He is a really fast learner. I brought my Dual Single Reflex
Lens Camera. So, I took a lot of pictures.

I used Kyeo Weo as my model. I told him to do some poses and stay still. He actually looks attractive and perfect as a model. He is really photogenic especially with the clothes I bought for him. Girls were actually checking him out. I asked someone from the streets to take a picture of us.

Of course, I told Kyeo Weo how to pose. The stranger took the picture and I thanked her. I checked the photo and I was jealous that Kyeo Weo looked better. "Ji Ya!" Kyeo Weo called. "Where will go?" He looks so cute. I went to him. "Let's go to that palace." I pointed at the palace. His smile is so heartwarming. "Sure!" He replied.

We did so much things to make his stay in South Korea very memorable. I hope nothing bad happens to him. Once we went home, he was sad. "I really wanted to stay." He giggled. We reached home and he stayed outside to look at the stars. He sat down on the bright and green grass. I decided to sit beside him.

"Count the stars. It's too much, right? That's how many possibilities and things you can do." He told me. I leaned next to him. "I wish I will never leave. It's beautiful. North Korea is such an unimaginable place to live in." While he talked with his soothing voice, I slept on his shoulder.

Kyeo Weo's POV
Ji Ya slept beside me. I didn't want to disturb her. So, I carefully carried her inside and I placed my index finger on my lips signalling her mom that she has to be quiet. I placed her on her bed.

"You taught me well. You cared me well. I'll protect you. I'm learning more about South Korea because of you. You taught me the language, culture, and other more things. Thank you." I whispered to her even though I know she can't hear me. So, I went up and slept on my bed. "Good night." I mumbled.

Ji Ya's POV
I actually woke up when he placed me in the bed but I didn't open my eyes. When he left, I cried. I didn't cry because he hurt me but I just don't know how to describe why I cried. But, his speech made me cry.

"Good night."
