yuei_vuisaki and those of you who passed your exams with flying colors~ chukahae~~~~~~~~~~ ♥
That was the weirdest dream I ever had. Was the first thing that came to my mind the moment I woke up the next day for school. Looking at the alarm clock sitting on my bedside drawer, “Shit! I’m late! “ I groaned as I ran to the bathroom getting ready as fast as I could.
“Umma! I’m running late again!!! Gotta go!” before I could even run to the front door, she stopped me by holding up a plate of pancakes to my face.
“My dear, today’s the first day of your winter break, so don’t have to go to school,” she giggled.
Aish! Lee Jinki! Neo baboya, baboya! I cursed myself in my mind for being so stupid while I stared down to the hot plate of pancakes, hearing my tummy protest.
So I sighed and walked to the dining table, get my hungry tummy tamed and then decide on what I should do for the rest of the day.
“Jinki-ah, do you want to go shopping with umma today? It’s been long since we went shopping together,” my mum said while forking her own share of pancakes.
That’s true, I remember the last time umma and I shopped together was before I entered high school, reason being I don’t have the time and I seriously don’t like shopping.
Even if I had to get clothes for myself, I would just let my mum and cousin, Sunkyu, better known as Sunny to do the job. She’s only a few months older than me, plus she’s a girl, so she would never turn me down when I asked her for help in shopping.
Though I have to admit her taste might get a little bit strange at times and turn me into some gothic punk rocker, but generally, its way better than me getting them myself. But they both certainly have better taste than me. Yeah, I know, pathetic.
“Alright! I’ll go anywhere with you umma,” I grinned at her. Building memories with my mum is one of my mission now.
We left home after having our breakfast and rest. Umma has all the time to spend with me now that she quitted her job as a chief editor in one of the fashion magazine. Not that she needed to make money for us to survive, with the inheritance my dad left us was enough for us to live on even without working despite of my treatments now.
Umma worked for her interest and just because she didn’t want to stay at home alone while I’m at school. Everything around the house reminded her of him. Would she feel this way after I leave too?
“Jinki-ah, let’s shop all over Seoul today ye? We can go to Gangnam, Myeongdong, Dongdaemun,” my mum went on rumbling on her list of places we should go, smiling all so brightly while dragging me down the streets of Gangnam, our first stop for that day. I couldn’t resist snapping a picture of her.
After she realised that I’ve snapped a picture of her, she blushed and fanned herself, “Eh! What are you doing Jinki-ah! Aigoo~ it’s so embarrassing,” she resembles a girl in her twenties, you might even mistaken her as my girlfriend if you see us while you’re walking.
“Nothing, just want to take a picture of my lovely umma, that’s all. Oh umma! Why not let’s get a polaroid camera so we can take lots of pictures together while we shop all day?” I smiled to her, happy with the idea myself.
“Ah! Great idea my dear! But where can we get it from?” she asked.
I looked around and saw a sign board of a photo shop a block from down from where we were. “There?” I pointed.
“Ok! We better hurry, we have lots to do today!”she tugged my hand and walked towards the shop.
For little do I know that I would see a familiar face there.
“Welcome,” greeted the boy packing the shelf behind the counter.
When he turned around he gave me a knowing smile, or maybe it was just my imagination.
“May I help you ma’am?” he asked my mum sweetly. He looks familiar, but I can’t remember who he is. How could you forget such a beautiful person?! I scolded myself in my mind.
“Do you have a polaroid camera around here, my dear?” my mum asked while looking around the shop trying to find it herself.
“Of course we do, and how many set of films would you like?” he asked politely as he took out the camera from under the counter, not forgetting to smile.
“Hmm, how many do you think we should get?” my mum turned to me.
“As many as possible! We are going to take lots of photos!” I grinned, not bothering of the voice at the back of my mind bugging me about the boy.
“Alright, we’ll have ten sets of those then,” she said to the boy.
“Sure, I’ll give you two extra sets just in case if you need more,” he offered.
After packing everything into a bag for us, my mum paid the stuff while I of course used of my energy to carry them.
“Hope you have a nice day,” he bowed and when I thank him for his service he whispered something loud enough for me to hear, “Be careful Jinki-ah, there’s many mean people out there,” with the sweetest grin.
I don’t get what he meant, but before stepping out of the shop, I turned around to take one last look at the boy, hoping to figure out where exactly did I met him. But I was shocked when I saw a totally different person packing the counter this time and it’s a girl! I was sure there was no other exit and there was only one person around the whole time! That boy just disappeared! Poof!
I shook my head and walked towards my mum who was waiting for me outside of the shop, convincing myself that I was just hallucinating, recalling Dr Choi told me that the prescription for my migraines may cause drowsiness and when it gets too bad, I might start to suffer from mild hallucination.
With that, I waved the thought of the strange boy and skipped towards my mum who was rumbling about what we should have for lunch and what she would get for me when we get to the store. She sure is excited about our day.
“Umma ppalli gaja!” I grinned.
