EVERY

THE DECISION TO
TRY.

DO NOT QUIT TRYING.

"Kang Kino! We are late." The unusual morning chaos stirred me up from my deep sleep. I tossed and turned on bed.

A new day is here.

My eyelids were still heavy. I do not want to be up just yet. Trying to fall back to sleep, I started to mentally count the sheep.

One little sheep.
Two little sheep.
Three little sheep.

My heartbeat nearly stopped the moment Kino barged in while screaming like a maniac. "Jiyoung! Wake up. I need to tell you something and I'm running late."

I rose up from bed and stared at him like a hungry tiger. He just went on, knowing he had gotten my attention. "What the hell happened to you? I was so shocked seeing you breathing that hard yesterday." Before I had the chance to speak up for myself, he raise his hand up - stopping me. "Whatever it is, tell me later. As of now, I'm just gonna say that I would be home late in the evening. If Mum isn't home by then, do not go out on your own. I'm warning you. If something ever happen again, I swear I would hate you my whole life. Got it?"

I nodded nonchalantly. He gave me a sharp menacing look one last time before sprinting out of my room, not before shouting his lungs out, "Mum, I'm coming!"

After that, everything went quiet.

Now, its time for me to decide. The bed or a good, long shower?

Upon doing some simple morning routine, I decided to go with the last option. I had a lot in mind. Crashing back on bed isn't a good solution. At least, I hope the aroma therapeutic soap I brought from Seoul could free a little space in my brain. I just need a moment to clear my mind and come out with ways to soothe myself a bit.

Walking towards the couch downstairs with wet hairs, my eyes caught the glimpse of notepads of different colours jumbled on the coffee table. "Who leaves these here?" I frowned. I know I am not a perfectionist but I hate mess! "It would not takes you long to arrange this back into the box. Am I this household housekeeper now? Tsk."

While stacking the pads and arranged them according to their respective colours, an idea knocked into my mind; so hard that it turned up the mood of my lonely morning.

Without wasting more time, I started to jot down things to be done that had been encircling my mind since a while ago – words after words fill up the blank paper along with ticking of the clock.

JY To-Do-List (Monday)

1. Water the seedlings

2. Study ( w Shinwon)

3. Cook Ramen for lunch

4. Find Dambi

5. Get to know the black hooded boy

P.s- Not sure what the hell is Geombi but try to avoid hassles  and return home in one piece.

Sorry, Kino.

Hate me as much as you wish. I can't simply walk off knowing my mind loves conducting its own command.

Feeling somehow pleased with the schedule I had set for the day, I then slipped the piece of paper into my shorts' pocket and proceed for breakfast. In my mind, a voice – sounded like my own - whispered; 'No matter what, I will find you.'
