An Old Story 019

Seohyun waited for Erin in her car.

"Bye Jayme! See you tomorrow!" Erin waved to her friend before getting into the car.

"Hi mom!" Erin greeted cheerfully.

"So where do you want to go for lunch?"

"Anywhere?"

"Funny, I don't see that on the map."

"Mom! It's not funny!" Erin pouted.

"I got it. What's for lunch?"

"Can I cook??" Erin asked exitedly.

"But...I think....sure, why not." Seohyun teased her daughter.

"Yes!" Erin was excited to finally make her mom a proper lunch for the first time.

Seohyun laughed at her excitement. "So how was school??"

"Ricky's the DJ for this week! I got 84 for English Language! And... and... and... 79 for Korean language." Erin was a bit disappointed about the 79 marks cause it was so near to the "A" grade.

"Awe... come one girl, cheer up. You're the only girl in school that takes Korean Language. I know it's tough to learn by yourself. Come one, what did you do today?"

"And I baked cookies just like what we did during the holidays! And I still suck at drawing!" Erin laughed at her last statement as Seohyun followed.

@@

"Mom, where's the ketchup?" Erin was flipping though the cupboard.

"It's on the left drawer, I'll take it for you." Seohyun took the ketchup and passed it to Erin who was starting the fire.

"Now, try not to burn anything." Seohyun warned Erin even thou she knew that Erin will not burn any of the food. Erin was a very careful and meticulous girl, even at that age.

"Okay." Erin answered and started cooking the potatoes.

Seohyun looked at her from the doorway of the kitchen, feeling proud of her Erin.

@@

"When did you learn to cook like this?" Seohyun couldn't resist the temptation of having another serving of Erin's chicken pie.

"I took the recipe from the internet and learned it a few days ago. It took me a few tries... oops... nothing."

"Erin, how did you practice?" Seohyun pretended to be suspicious.

Erin gave an uneasy laugh and told her that she had begged Fakri to teach her.

"It's okay if Fakri is not busy and in a good mood." Seohyun knew that Fakri as the only cook in the kitchen is very stressful and she don't want Erin to disturb him when he was resting.

"Erin, do you think it's okay if I go to Korea for a week?" Seohyun asked all of a sudden.

"Eh? Are you going there? When?" Erin nearly choked while her mouth was full.

"Just asking. Dongjoo asked if I want to go there for a week, to catch up with my friends there." She said after making sure Erin was fine.

"Sure, why don't you go? Remember to bring me some souvenirs!"

"Wait, you don't want to go?" Seohyun was curious.

"I have exams, mom. And there's this candy making competition in 2 weeks, I can't wait for it." Erin was sure of not going to Korea.

"Mom, do you want to go?" Erin looked at Seohyun who wasn't focusing.

"I'm still thinking. Never mind about that. You want that last piece of broccoli?"

"Is it good? You take it mom." Erin said and continued eating her food.

An Old Story 018

Dongjoo wondered who would be at the door. He wasn't expecting anyone at all.

"Coming." He lazily walked to the door and answers it.

"Good morning, sir. I am the manager of this hotel. I apologize for interrupting but you must evacuate this room immediately." The man at the door said calmly.

"We just detected a gas leak in our hotel. I'm sorry to disturb, but for your safety, you should get out of the hotel immediately."

"Alright." Dongjoo nodded and the man bowed. He then left to knock on the next door.

@@

Dongjoo sat at the table just outside the restaurant. He put the backpacks down by his side, massaging his shoulders.

"What did you bring... It's like bringing the whole house with you! Aish, Jaeygu... "

He looked inside the restaurant. There were a few customers and a waiter or two. But she wasn't there.

One of the waiter came to him and passed him the menu. He didn't feel like eating and he ordered a cup of iced lemon tea.

He took out his notebook and started to look through the news at the main page.

"Here's your tea, sir." Someone put his tea on the table.

"Thanks." He said while browsing through the net, not looking up. The person left to the next table.

Suddenly, he paused. That voice was so familiar.

He looked to the direction the person had gone to. She had her back towards him. He couldn't see her face, but he was certain it was her.

"Seohyun!" he called out to her.

She turned and smiled at him. She signaled to him to wait for five minutes and disappeared into the kitchen.

@@

"Hello! How's your trip here?" Seohyun was smiling so brightly.

"Really interesting." Dongjoo said with a bit of sorrow tone.

He took a deep breath. Seohyun looked at him with worried eyes.

"What's the matter?" She asked as she pulled out one of the chairs and sat down.

"Seohyun." Dongjoo called her name, both his hands held hers.

"Seohyun, do... do you want to go back to Korea with me?" Dongjoo stuttered with his words.

"What?" Seohyun was surprised but kept her calm.

"Do you want to go back to Korea with me? To start anew. Why don't we start all over again?"

She turned her head away.

"But Dongjoo."

"Please?" Dongjoo still held her small hands.

"I can't. I don't know you." She didn't look at him.

"I have my life here, the restaurant is my dream and Erin too... I'm sorry." She was ready to leave the table but Dongjoo never let go of her hand.

"Seohyun, I'm sorry, I don't know what got over me." Dongjoo knew he couldn't just ask her to just leave everything, but he had to try. He still loves her.

"Seohyun, would you like to go to Korea, maybe just for a week? You're friends never saw you for so many years..."

She stood up and replied, "I'll think about it. I need to work now. So... I'll leave first. Please do enjoy your tea." She bowed and left.

月牙灣

SONG MV

敦煌天空的沙粒
带着我们的
我从半路看回去
这秦关漫漫好蜿踞

梦想穿过了西域
包含了多少的纏意
爱情像一本游记
我会找寻它的密语

看 月牙湾下的泪光
在丝路之上被遗忘

是谁的心啊
孤单的留下
他还好吗我多想爱他
拿永恒的泪
凝固那一句话
也许可能蒸发

是谁的爱啊

轻声呼唤就让我融化
那一滴雨水演化
成我翅膀
向着我爱的人
追吧

梦想穿过了西域
包含了多少的纏意
爱情像一本游记
我会找寻它的密语

看 月牙湾下的泪光
在丝路之上被遗忘

是谁的心啊
孤单的留下
他还好吗我多想爱他
拿永恒的泪凝固
那一句话
也许可能蒸发

是谁的爱啊
比泪水坚强
轻声呼唤就让我融化
那一滴雨水演化
成我翅膀
向着我爱的人
追吧

是谁的心啊
孤单的留下
他还好吗我多想爱他
拿永恒的泪凝固
那一句话
也许可能蒸发

是谁的爱啊
比泪水坚强
轻声呼唤就让我融化
那一滴雨水演化
成我翅膀
向着我爱的人
追吧
