That Lovely Spring 01
YoonHyun's Story
01 | W h e n F a t e P l a y s ...
Spring - is one of the four conventional temperate seasons, following winter and preceding summer.
"Who among of you here... likes Spring Breaks?"
Silence.
"Anyone?"
As usual, no one would ever try to raise their hands. But that doesn't mean they don't like Spring Breaks. It's only that, there's this one girl they'll always assume would raise her hand immediately. But the question is...
"Where is She?"
"Did she ditch the class again?"
"She's a genius, Man! How would She?"
The professor of the class can't help and roll his eyes. Because apparently, her class is once again talking about 'That girl. That girl which everyone adores. Not only because she came from a wealthy family, but also because of how bubbly she is. How adorable she is. How kind she is for everybody. And most especially, how angelic she is also physically.
Everyone is always looking forward for her every time she is in the class, because she has never failed them to be amazed of how awesome she was when it comes to speaking in front of the class.
She's an ace student after all.
"Class quiet!!!" The Professor can't take it anymore and shouted to the class. Everybody shut their mouth, not because of his voice, but because the girl they've been talking about is right there, in the door, staring at the class... too unaware of what just happened.
"Good Morning, Professor Cho." The girl politely bowed in front of the class.
The professor turned his head to the source of the voice. "Oh... Joohyun. Why are you late?" as if an angel came, He friendly ask the young girl.
Everyone in the class looked at the angelic girl in her casual white dress. Her hair is straight, while she is carrying her shoulder bag. As usual, they're mesmerized by the girl.
"Why? Um... " Unfortunately for the girl, named Joohyun, She couldn't answer right away. Because her mind flashes back to the earlier event at home.
Flashback...
Usually, Seohyun would woke up in an early morning doing her usual routing; read books at 7am, take her daily vitamins, breakfast, play with her puppy, and as well as, taking care of her rose garden. But it is unlikely today, she woke up at 7am because someone made her wake up. There was her mother, shaking gently her arms to wake her up.
"Mom?!" She groaned, not use to the sight of her mother waking her up. It was a surprise visit, literally.
"Joohyun, your father and I is here." said her mother softly, trying still her best. Yet, Seohyun refuse to open her eyes. She shifted her head to the other side, as she continue to nap.
Her mother sigh. She might be the most precious girl for everybody, but when it comes to her parents, she is the stubborn girl. But at least when it only comes to them.
Moving to the other side, Seohyun's mother attempted again. Seohyun forcely open her eyes, halfway.
"I have class later. And my flight to Sweden is tonight, Mom. What's the sudden visit?" She mumbled, slowly getting up. She sat up, rubbing her eyes in the process.
Placing her hand over her daughter's lap, Mrs. Seo waited for her daughter. Just then, Seohyun's eyes lit up, and she put her hand on top of her mother's hand.
"I miss you Mom."
Mrs. Seo smiled inwardly at her sweet daughter. "Breakfast is up. I'll wait for you-" Seohyun didn't let her mother finished her sentence when she wrapped her two arms around her neck.
"I mean it. I miss you." Seohyun said, feeling her heart warming up. Mrs. Seo's hands were at her back, patting her for a comfort.
"I miss you too darling." Mrs. Seo answered, trying to hold the tears that would drop in any seconds. Gladly and She was able to.
Seohyun who is not caring, close her eyes and let her tears drop in the corner of her eyes. It's been a while sinc she embrace her mother like this. It's been a while also since She saw her mother in their home. Basically not just her, her father also. It's always been the fact that her mother can't able to go home in their main house because of business from time to time. It's a sad thing for her life, but She had used to it. Travelling is just a way for her to avoid loneliness from her parents.
Pulling over from the embrace, Mrs. Seo cupped her daughter's cheeks and wipe the tears that are visibly dropping.
"Aww, my angel. Stop crying."
Seohyun pouted. "How can I? I miss you so much. And I will miss you again by the next couple of months." she bit her lower lip, trying to supress the sobs she might let out.
"Your father also misses you. Do you want to have breakfast with us first, before you went off?"
Seohyun's eyebrows furrows, as the thought of her father came to her mind.
At the dining table, Mister and Mrs. Seo are silently watching their daughter. Once in a while, they would talk through their eyes, or even step on respective's foot. As if they want to say something to their daughter, they keep on doing that for a moment, until Seohyun stop from her meal and looked up to meet her parent's eyes.
"What's going on?" ask her, innocently.
Both parents shake their heads.
"You guys are creating a lot of noise under the table, I would assume... Mom... Dad... You guys have something to say?" She believe so.
Mrs. Seo nudge her husband, but the latter also nudge her wife.
"Okay. It's not a big deal right? Why can't you guys open your mouth and tell me?" Seohyun softly suggested. She is not in a hurry. She has 30 minutes left for her class.
Sigh.
"Hon, tell your daughter."
"What?! Me? This is not my plan, Hon!" Argued Mister Seo. "This is your Plan."
"But it's your mother we are talking about."
"But it's not my plan to find her!"
"Wait... " Seohyun's eyebrows once again rises, as She finally understood the meaning. "You are... talking about my 'grandmother'? I have my grandmother?" She hasn't heard anything from her grandmother, ever since her barn. It was new to her ears.
Mister and Mrs. Seo nod their heads to confirm.
"Darling, your mother is here to say."
Mrs. S
