THE LETTER

THE ENCOUNTER

Living in today's generation will make you realize that life is getting harder. It is only 5:00 in the morning but many people are already awake and starting to get their day busy. People are already crowding the streets, bus, and MRT. They are on their way to their office, school, or some are just on the way to their home. It is a common picture to Park Shin-Hye. She is 25 years old. She is an event organizer. She lives a simple life.

It is exactly 4:30am when her alarm clock starts ringing. She slowly reaches the alarm clock to stop and gets back to sleeping. But when she feels that her mom is slowly approaching her door. She quickly stand up and pretends that she is already awake even before her alarm clock. Then her mom open the door, and say, "Shin-hye, it is already 4:35am, aren't you going to work?" "Mom, I'm just preparing my things and I'll go down once I finish these things." she replied. Her mom bangs the door and tell her that her breakfast is already ready. So after a minute, Shin-hye starts eating her breakfast.

Then at 5:00am she is already on her way to her work. While waiting for the bus to arrive, she see her mean officemates coming to her directions. She is trying not to look at them. Then suddenly, a guy tap her shoulder. She turn and look and see Park Seo-jun. He is one of the mean officemates. He always tease her and make her do a lot of works that should be done by him not her. When he tapped her, she thought, "What a bad luck!", then the rest of the office mates go to her and wait together for the bus. While the mean officemates are laughing by themselves, she tries to escape to them but Seo-jun see her and tell the rest of the gang what Shin-hye is doing. "Shin-hye, what are you doing?" says Ji Won. Shin-hye smiles and tell them that she is just making space because there are also other people besides them.

Finally, the bus arrives. The mean officemates are the first one to enter the bus, which makes them complete the seats. The bus driver told Shin-hye that she needs to wait for another bus because it is already full. The mean officemates told them, "See you later, Shin-hye." And smiles like they are teasing them. Helplessly, Shin-hye is about to go down to bus, all of a sudden, a guy tell the bus driver that Shin-hye is the first one to arrive at the waiting shed. So the bus driver, asks the group of them to have one of them wait for another bus and let them seat Shin-hye to seat. The guy offer his seat to Shin-hye. And Shin-hye is so thankful to guy.
