(Mijin's POV)

"Get your ass in here! We have a lot to do!" I heard Umma's voice calling me as I was in the middle of packing my bags.

"Okay! Okay! I'm coming down already!" I shouted as I walked out of my room. Why is she always interrupting me when I'm doing something?

"Mijin, I have to remind you some things before you go to your appa's house okay?" Umma said in a worried voice as she looked at me across the coffee table in the living room.

"Okay, what is it then? Please just hurry up 'cause I still need to finish packing my stuff." I said while giving her that confused look.

"Don't let your Appa get in your nerves okay? Call me when anything happens. And if you don't like it there, you can come home anytime understand?” I was stood up from my seat when she grabbed my hand and gave me that falthering look. It gave me second thoughts and that’s why I hate it. “Before I forget, do you really want to do this?"

"Yeah Umma. I really want to do this" I lied as I looked in her eyes with a smile on my face. It was hard to refrain myself from running into her arms and cry my heart out but I managed to do it somehow cause it would just make me stay here and never leave. It was for the best anyway.

Umma and Appa separated when I was 7 years old. Umma and I moved to Tokyo since then. After two years, she met Mr. Jun, he's currenty a professor at college. Anyway, he was a fresh graduate when they first met. Umma said it was love at first sight and she always compare him to Appa. I can see that she’s happy with Mr. Jun and moreover, he’s a really nice man. Back then, I would hear their arguments in the middle of the night and Umma would enter my room quietly as I pretend to sleep and she would cry silently beside me. One day she decided to move out with me. Since then Appa was living alone in our old house in Seoul and is still working as a businessman.

"Okay then, but don't forget to call me every now and then." Umma said in a satisfied voice then she said, "Now finish packing your things okay? We have to leave early tomorrow. You wouldn’t want to miss your flight do you?"

"Arasso! By the way, kumawo Umma." I said in the most sincere way as I left the living room. As I walked in my room, I cried silently. I never wanted to leave. However, I realized that I should give Omma the freedom she needed if she ever wants to settle down with Mr. Jun. She’s been raising me by herself for ten years already and I want her to enjoy her life here.

I decided to sleep early that night but I couldn’t. Staring at the ceiling, I wondered what will happen to me for the nexr the next few days, months or even years. I’ve been keeping close ties with Appa but it didn’t make me feel secure.
