It has been a week and I'm on my way now at Incheon International Airport. Kim Soe-sol Oppa, together with our youngest Norae insisted on taking me despite my persistence that they don't need to. It's been a long time we gather just the three of us together.
"You take care of yourself. Eat well. Don't deprive yourself. Call us anytime you want or rather always call." as always, Oppa is like our second father. He is always calm and collected.
"Yes, I will. Don't worry about me Oppa you know. You too Norae if you need help, don't hesitate to ask. You know that we are always here for you." I patted her head as always.
"Aww Unnie don't treat me like a kid. I'm already an adult you know." she even pouted. How cute!
"This brat. You even asked to bring a lot of snacks as a souvenir." I shuffled her hair teasing her more.
"Can't help it you know. I like tasting different snacks. Even Dong-hae was delighted!" she even stuck her tongue. Dong-hae is our Oppa's son and our lovable nephew. Ah, still a kid. I laughed as well as Oppa. And she continued, "I will be having my internship at XX Company by next month."
"That's great! I know you will do fine. Just do your best as always as you can." Oppa said to Norae as he also patted her head which pouted even more.
"Good job Norae!" I too can't help but pat her head again.
"Ugh, Oppa, and Unnie are always the same." We both laughed at her. It was heartwarming.
XX Company? Why does it seem familiar? I thought for a while then it struck me. Wait! Isn't it that where that bastard work? Is it just a coincidence? I wonder.
Oppa and Norae bade goodbye after a while. My Brother and little sister hugged me before they left. I felt a clench in my heart as I gather my trolley bag and went inside. After getting my boarding pass and deposited my luggage, I took a seat at the station my planed were assigned to. I already missed them but I can't help it. This was already the choice that I made. It was always my dream to go abroad where I can spread my wings. Even before I broke my relationship with Ryan, it was already in my mind to go to the US and study. As I was depth in thought I heard the pre-boarding announcement.
Good afternoon passengers. This is the pre-boarding announcement for flight 89B to California. We are now inviting those passengers with small children, and any passengers requiring special assistance, to begin boarding at this time. Please have your boarding pass and identification ready. Regular boarding will begin in approximately ten minutes time. Thank you.
I stood up from where I seated and joined the line of people who were also passengers of the same plane. I looked at my boarding ticket to confirm my seat number as I looked for seat 10J. As I was looking, I caught a glimpse of someone familiar. I was startled but when I looked at the person intently, the guy looked different and I feel relief. Phew! I thought it was that bastard. My heart beats for a while and I wonder why is that.
I finally seated near the window of the plane. So, I'm delighted. I always liked the window seat. Looking at the clouds. Somehow, it struck me once again the thought about the coincidence impending my sister's internship. I looked back at our last email conversation with that jerk.
"Ugh, seriously?" I replied to him "I don't wanna" remark after I asked him to stop messaging me in my personal email.
I just received a laughing emoji. The next day, I received another email from him. "What a lovely day." I knitted my eyebrows.
"Yeah so stop pestering me." I hastily replied.
Every day, he sent different messages in my email. Now come to think of it, he knows my number. He called me once. He never messaged me in my number but instead in using an email. There is also SNS mobile application but I wonder why he preferred to pester me using an email. And what is his purpose? Is he interested in me? No. I think he only enjoyed pestering me. But why? I feel conflicted. Ugh, that bastard!
Ping. 1 email received.
"When you look at the clouds, please be reminded of my handsome face." What the! I closed my eyes and sighed deeply. I gave up deciphering that jerk's thought.
