--Honey Lou's Point of View--
((The Next Day)) The sun is shining, my alarm is ringing and this house is filled with peace which is kind of annoying. Why?
It already feels similar to our 'home' back in New York.
The only difference is that I have no one here while on the other hand, in New York, they're just always out doing their own business.
It frustrates me now that I have to live alone.
The house needs to be cleaned regularly and the laundry should always be done daily or probably once a week would be fine.
Problem solved. For now, I'll be exploring the town and buying groceries but soon enough, I have school to work on.
Don't know if I will still be homeschooled or if will it be in regular school but at least I'm advanced with my lessons and everything's going well.
All we need is a positive attitude in such cases, especially this one...
I got up and began to fix my bed before warming up and headed out to take an hour-long shower, chose an outfit for the day then prepared my usual cheese-ham sliced bread for breakfast which was the recipe I created myself.
I then settled down and ate well.
What I had been planning to do lately was to surprise Sora Young who is the friend I met online or should I say, the one from my saved contacts who I used to often call.
She told me multiple things that my mother and father never really mentioned about our family, a sister whom I would not want to meet in person, and other relatives I haven't seen in a while.
Sora has been a friend of mine ever since we were 2 and a half years old, our friendship started when she would sometimes mistake me for my older sister and that led to us becoming closer...
I am looking forward to meeting my sister and seeing for myself if she is short-tempered just as Sora had described through a call not so long ago.
Not that I would believe a person could be so unreasonable and would do irrational deeds to others, but I believe that there must have been something that caused her to pretty much boss everyone around.
My friend also mentioned many other people.
As I was lost in thoughts, I came to the point where I didn't notice the road upfront and it was a good thing that the vehicles stopped moving.
Or else I could've been involved in another car accident.
I felt so many eyes on me and it made me feel quite anxious as the atmosphere became awkward so I quickly took a different route, rushing on my way to the café just to get the right time to meet my dear friend, Sora.
I shook the thought off my mind and just went on, trying to concentrate on where I was headed, it was a good thing that I always carried my Polaroid around with me everywhere I went, I could not ever leave it behind since it's the main reason I go outdoor most of the time.
To save memories...
I captured lots of photographs to store them in an album after visiting the places I plan to stop by, of course, the Namsan Tower was the first place I went to then there's this river the name I kind of forgot was said to be popular also.
Once it was around noon, I dropped by the Bloom Café.
After minutes of walking and regretting not taking a cab, I realized that my plan to explore was not at the right time but who cares?
There are plenty of chances to visit these places some other time.
I went to where a bench was and that only took a few steps to get to then I re-charged there before heading to the other side of the road towards the Bloom Café.
I checked my phone and decided not to waste any more time going to places I was still unfamiliar with instead, I chose to stay at the café to meet Sora's friends too until the sun settled.
I slowly started to get back on my feet and went along with the wind as it blew northwest and then came to a stop in front of a fountain, I stared at the water flowing.
Thinking... "Why do I feel unsatisfied?"
I shrugged off the fact that I somehow felt alone at the moment.
It seemed like it was just about time for me to drop by the café I was told about, I tried not to trip or do anything humiliating as I entered the place.
I greeted the employee who was surely near my age taking note of a previous order then as she faced me, her behavior kind of confused me.
Don't know why she acted that way because obviously, I couldn't have seen her expression but by the sound of her gasp, that's how I noticed.
I tried to ask her if ever I did anything offensive to her or if it was because there was some kind of a problem. 'But to no luck, she left which was quite rude...'
It was embarrassing when she left right after making things awkward, fortunately, another employee came over to me and took my order instead.
"Are you new around here? This place is a totally friendly place for anyone who's a newcomer." he spoke in a very cheerful tone of voice and so, I replied.
"Yeah, I am. By the way, I think I'll be coming here daily so I hope we get along."
'Total friendly? That girl from earlier behaved way far from what he just stated...'
I felt really upset by how she behaved towards me although meeting this boy right here wasn't so bad since I got used to the café in a matter of time.
Of course, I took my time in placing an order while the guy voluntarily introduced everything they sell such as biscuits, any kind of drink that went well with the pastries and desserts here as well as the whole special sets of bundle.
Yet at the same time behind me was a long line and I had to try stopping him before the other customers left at some point.
At first, I wanted to try the red velvet cake alongside a strawberry smoothie but I decided to go with a triple-layered chocolate waffle and had a flavored bubble tea which I asked to make it sweeter than ever and that is too much for anyone else to handle except for me.
I took a seat at the corner up front near a window and then waited for my order to be served.
I sat there all alone, listening to PLUM's daily playlist for me.
She was programmed for many things especially when it comes to maintaining my safety but there sure is something that keeps on making her do things without being asked to. She must inform me about a thing or two regarding the people around me within the range of 2 meters.
Just when I was about to take another sip, my phone began vibrating and of course, I took the call as it was not important to check who it was though.
No one answered through the other side while I waited for a few minutes before hanging up, all I heard was someone breathing but how come their number is saved in my phone contacts? Could it be someone I used to know? Weird.
I did not mind it but still, I looked at the call logs, and there it was, her name being Suzuki Mayo yet why would she even think about calling me acting like that?
I pressed the question mark button near her name and PLUM started to tell me things about her, I also found out that she had already died at the age of 9 but how come someone called using her number?
'Too many questions were lingering in my mind so I continued listening to PLUM to distract myself...'
--Author's Point of View--
The 16-year-old girl finished her drink as she kept on ignoring the noise in the café and as a group of friends showed up at that moment, Yua, the Chinese part-time employee from earlier greeted them.
Every one of them goes to Seoul Global High and is the most intimidating yet popular group among all the students in Seoul, while the school itself also has its title for a reason.
As the group went on to their usual spot, one girl spotted someone familiar right at the corner which caused her to split from her friends... She sneakily approached the female just to try to surprise her as they hadn't met one another for so long.
Other people didn't pay much attention to what the girl was doing because they all knew who she was and the fact that she must have found someone new...
Or a friend she just wanted to greet.
Sora Young got up, slowly spreading her arms wide open, loudly exclaiming. "Hello... And welcome!" wrapping her arms around the older female as she hugged her warmly.
A huge wave of questions then started to run through Lee Haesu's mind once she had a clear view of the girl her younger friend greeted.
In her very own café, the sister she left showed up, and up until now...
The thought of Honey Lou's damage to her life has returned home and Haesu wasted no second seeing as the Honey-girl was with 'her' friend, she couldn't help but head to where they are.
The other ones from their group knew what was bound to happen and pulled Haesu back before she caused another bad incident under the name of their school and even the image of her family.
"Don't even bother, just let them be." Yua advised her older friend as she left the group and resumed doing her duties at the café.
Haesu looked at everyone and grasped onto her rational self, deciding to shun the presence of her sister despite the anger that was building up inside of her.
Haesu just managed her employees and watched the two from a distance as they caught up with each other's lives. 'She'll ruin everything... Again.' the girl thought.
