We are coming in to Calgary. The mountains here are huge. I have never seen anything like this and we didnt even land yet. I am anxious to see this place but also hesitant. Will this place like me back. Will eomma's family love me? All this will be new, I will get to meet all of them in eomma's family Even a grandfather that I never skyped with. How will I do? I know they have their own customs, I wonder if it's still like that? I'm nervous! But the adventure of this will be great regardless or it could totally suck! i should have came with a friend, abeoji should have came with me!
J.S.Y OUT-!
Jungsik clears customs and immediately calls home.
"Abeoji, I made it. I am going to meet my grandmother at exit 12."
"Make sure you call me if anything goes wrong. I will try to help as much as I can from here." Jisung instructs.
"I will be fine. At least I should be." Jungsik chuckles.
"I'm serious son. You let me know."
"Ne-"
Jungsik hangs up the phone and waits at the exit. Anxious to see his grandmother he hops in one spot. Wondering if he should bow or shake hands when he meets her. Even though they had a Skype call often Jungsik is still nervous.
Half and hour turns into an hour and Jungsik still waits at the exit. No one has shown up yet. He began to wonder if he was in the wrong spot.
Jungsik pulls out his phone and texts his abeoji.
"Abeoji ... I'm still waiting at the airport. No one has picked me up yet."
"If no one comes for you in the next 10 minutes, I will call and arrange a car for you and take you to a hotel 😡"
"lol, relax old man. i know how to use a taxi and my English is better than yours. I think I can handle it. I am just letting you know."
"Don't be a smartass just because you are on the other side of the world."
"love you old man. I will let you know."
"10 MINUTES SON"
"네 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ"
" 🙄"
Jungsik smiles and puts his phone in his pocket and waits around for another 25 minutes.
A few minutes pass and he notices an old lady staring at him off in the distance. She is short with black hair with gray streaks. Her skin is light colored and her big glasses are just to big for her face. She holds a purse that hangs on the left side of her with beaded flowers on it. She stops and just stares and Jungsik.
"Jason?" She calls out in the distance.
Jungsik doesnt reply he looks away and stares back it his phone that is ringing witha Skype call.
"Hi Grandma." Jungsik waves into the camera.
"Grandson, is that you sitting on your suitcase?" she points the camera showing Jungsik sitting on his suitcase.
