Maeji’s POV
“eomma, appa wae? Why did you leave me?” I was crying my heart out in front of my parent’s corpse.
“Sejun ah!” a familiar voice was heard at my back but I was not able to check who was the person due to the sadness that I was feeling. “Wae? Why do you have to leave me? You are supposed to be the next CEO of our company” the person behind said while sobbing so I turn my back to see who was the owner of the voice is.
“Maeji ah! Gwaenchanha?” the person said who was my halmeoni. Halme embraced me tightly as both of our eyes were filled with tears pouring down to our cheeks to the ground.
After hours of crying my halmeoni and I along with halme’s body guards and maids went to our house in the Philippines.
“Maeji ah, after your eomma and appa’s burial I will bring you to Korea and you will continue your studies there, arratchi?” halmeoni hugs me.
“Ne arraseo halmeoni” I decided to leave the Philippines to move on because if I continue to stay the hurt of losing my parents will continue to bother me.
A week pass…
“flight from Manila to Incheon has arrived, all passengers may now unbuckle your seatbelt” the announcement has awoken me from an hour of sleep.
“Maeji ah your Sena immo and Sehyun ajussi were now waiting for us in the mansion” Halmeoni smiles at me.
“Everything will be okay, your cousins were also there” halmeoni gives me a tight hug.
“Halmeoni… gomabda…” the first words that comes out of my mouth. Since my parents burial I was not talking to anyone even to my family due to the sadness that I feel from my lost.
“Maeji ah don’t worry I will love the same way how your appa and eomma loved you” halme giving an assuring smile.
When we arrived at the mansion my Sena immo together with her daughter Sana and Sehyun ajussi and his daughter Mihyun were waiting at the living room.
“Annyeong hasseyo Maeji ah nice to see you again” Sena immo happily said.
“Nado annyeong hasseoyo immo, ajussi” I bowed and went immediately to my room.
“Miss Maeji the dinner is ready Han juinim wants you to eat” the maid said while I just nod and follow her.
“Maeji ah annyeong kaja let’s eat” Sena immo smiled.
“We have prepared all your favorite Korean cuisines” Sehyun ajussi added.
“Ne kamsahamnida” I shortly answered.
“Maeji ah here is your cousins Mihyun ah and Sana ssi” halme introduces them.
“Annyeong Sana ssi, Mihyun ah, Mannaseo bangapseumnida” I utter but they juat gave me a fake smile.
“Nado Maeji ah” they both said a few seconds later.
“Sana ssi, Mihyun ah why don’t you show Maeji ah around tomorrow? Go to the mall I will give you money” halme suggested.
“Ne halmeoni” they both smiled widely.
“Maeji ah is it okay for you?” halmeoni said with a worrying smile.
“Ne halmeoni, gwaenchanha” I simply reply.
The next morning…
“Maeji ah we’re going to the mall and Nami will accompany you there while were shopping” Sana said while Mihyun just nod.
We have arrived at the mall a few minutes passed then they left me with nami ssi our maid.
“So Miss Han where do you want to go?” Nami asked.
“Nami ssi can you just call me Maeji ah, I was not really comfortable with miss Han” Nami just nod.
“Agiseumnida Mis… I mean Maeji ah” She agreed.
“You Nami ssi? Where do you want to go?” I asked.
“Mwo Maeji ah?” she asked surprised.
“I said where do you want to go?” I repeat.
“Joeseonghamnida Maeji ah keunde I was just here to accompany you in your shopping” she said.
“Ah arraseo keunde show me around then” I suggested.
Nami and I walk around the mall. She has shown me all the boutiques and stores found in the mall.
“Nami ssi can we go to the bookstore I just want to buy a book” she just nod and we went to the direction where the bookstore is located. While we are about to enter the store a guy just bump at me intensionally and continues to walk pass us.
“Gwaenchanha Maeji ah?” Nami helped me to stand
“Ne Nami ssi” I gave her a smile.
“Aigoo I don’t know why do miss Sana and miss Mihyun like those kind of guys” she mutter.
“What do you mean? Do you by any chance know him?” I curiously asked.
“Ne Maeji ah that guy is Lee Minhyung or well known as Mark Lee one of the school mates of your cousins” she replied.
“Arraseo, lets just go inside then” I said as I took a quick glance of the ‘Mark guy’.
“Maeji ah your cousin just called they said we must return to the mall entrance for they are already waiting for us with Jihyung ajjussi” I just nod while I pay the book I purchased.
Back to the mansion…
“Gomawo Sana ssi and Mihyun ah for bringing me to the mall, nado gomawo Nami ssi for accompanying us” I said after we greeted halmeoni.
“Did you have fun Maeji ah” halmeoni asked.
“Ne manhi manhi” I smiled at halmeoni.
“Nami ssi can you show me around the neighborhood tomorrow?” Nami just nod at my request.
The next morning…
We just have our breakfast so after that I asked Nami ah to bring me to the nearest park. When we got to the park I asked her to leave me. At first she was hesitant but I told her that I’ll be calling her whenever I got lost so she agreed. The first thing that I looked for is the playground I partly remember the time when we stay here 15 years ago for 3 months of vacation.
Flashback 15 years ago…
“Eomma can we go to the playground?” I asked as we walk around the neighborhood.
“Ne Maeji ah keunde just promise me to be kind to the other kids on the playground arrata? Be friends with them arraseo?” eomma smiled.
“Ne eommeoni” I replied giving a peck on her cheeks.
“Arraseo just stay here and I’ll buy us some snacks. What do you want?” eomma asked.
“I like strawberry ice cream” I happily answered.
End of the flashback…
“Where is the swing?” I muttered to myself.
After few minutes of walking around the park I have found an empty playground and the first thing I look for is the swing which reminds me of my happy moments with my parents during our visit in Korea we always play on the swing of the same playground.
“Eomma, Appa bogo shippeo” I whispered as tears started to fall from my eyes.
“Use this” a tall guy said handing me his handlerchief.
“Gomawo” I took the handkerchief and wipe all my tears the guy smiled.
“Annyeong hasseyo Yunho imnida…”
