" Are you okay?? " a beautiful woman asked me with a worried face.

 

 

" Nae, nan gwenchana. just a little dizzy.  " she is my hair gently. I look around me. A house. It looks beautiful, the furniture neatly arranged. I asked her for a certainty.  " Who are you? where am I ? "   She looked a bit surprised by my question. She stopped her actions.   " Where you live? let me send you "   She offered me. but I quickly reply.   " I am homeless. I do not know where I live "   " So, come stay with us "   She smiles. Suddenly, a male voice was heard. 

 

 

 

" Omma. how you can make a decision without discuss? "   That guy...   " Are you going to make a mistake again that causes you and dad are divorced? "   He is so handsome .... he was wearing a blue coat that makes he look firm. but his eyes.... look red.   " Sun Woo. What do you mean. Are you okay? "   She got up and walked towards her son. Sun Woo. His name is Sun Woo. I wonder why his face looks angry to his mother. His hand tightly clenched the paper. Getting closer his mother, his hand getting more clenched tightly.

 

 

 

" Omma. What is this? "   He throws the paper in front of his mother.   " Sun Woo. where did you get this? "   She looks suprised.   " Is it important now, where I found this? Omma, are you...and dad... will divorced? " 

 

 

 

" Sun Woo. Don't worry. I will not leave you, my son. "   She wiped her son tears slowly but he withhold it.   " I'm going out for awhile "   He down the stairs and went away. Before he left, he still able stare at me. In his gaze, his eyes makes my heart pounding. I do not know what it means....

 

 

 

" I'm sorry. Ignore him. What is your name? "   I stare at her. For a long time, I reply the question.   " Kim Ji-Hee. My name is Kim Ji Hee. but... ca-can I live here? "    She smiles.   " Of course. let me show your bed room. Follow me, you can walk right? "   She helps me to get up.  " Nae. " 

 

 

 

After a few minutes, we arrived at my new bed room. Everything was already available.   " This is your bed room. Take a bath first, then go down. I'll cook for you and introduce you to family members "   She said.   " Gomawo. for accept me "   She my hair.   " I don't have a daughter. It's my pleasure to makes you as my daughter "    She is really lovely, I'll be lucky if I get a mother like her.

 

 

 

" but... can I ask you  something? "   She looks doubtful.   " Nae. what is it? "   I reply her question quickly.   " Do you not remember anything besides your name? "   She asked me. What should I answer it...   " Nae. I can't remember anything about me. uhh. My head feels pain. "   I lied to her.   " Omo! you should be rest. "   " Aniyo. I'm going to bath now. "   Damn. I lie to her. Met for the first time, but I lie to her about my past. 

 

 

 

After bathing, I sit facing the mirror. I see every inch of my face, completely different to before. I was young at that time, should I do this?
