Chapter 1

Is our meeting a mistake?

 

I am Shirley Robin, Chinese, but I was born in Australia. Let me tell you guys a story that you guys won’t believe. My real mother abandoned me when I was 2. I ended up in an orphanage and the Taylors adopted me. I never really asked myself why I was different from them, but after getting back my memories at the age of 7; I didn’t even need to ask. Are you confused about what I’m talking about? I guess, well, I’ve been remembering my past lives, and the fact that I die when I reach my 18 years, and right now, I got one week left. It doesn’t matter anyways, since my dream would be soon accomplished, like I did in the past.

 

I basically remembered about everything at 5:20AM on the day of my 7th birthday. It’s been repeating for 4 years already. Memory is actually really interesting; you get all the flashback of 72years in your head with less than a second, you get a headache after but whatever. It’s just as if your brain unblocked the door that saved a part of your memories. Of course, it didn’t get long before my adoptive parents discovered that my IQ increased in an impossible way, but they still believed that I was their girl. I refused skipping grades, because who knows if I’ll ever meet him in school?

 

Finally I decided to go live in Guangdong, China. There would be more chance meeting him, and so I told my parents about it and they approved, they knew I could take good care of myself and that I was special. With that, I spent another 2 years working around the city. Thus, I am right now in the plane, direction Korea; I saw him.

 

It happened a few hours ago, while I was working in Meng Xiang aka Dream, a coffee shop in Guangdong. As I was heading to the counter, someone bumped on me.

-Oh my god, customer, I am so sorry! I accidently said in English

-Oh, you speak English with an Australian accent? A familiar voice said
-Er-Uhm, yes… I lived in Australia but I am Chinese… I gulped, it was him.

-Really? That’s cool! I am Kris, I immigrated to Canada but I’m back and I’m planning to go to Korea to pursuit my dreams! I’m a photographer, here’s my business card and my new office’s location in Seoul, I hope you’ll come by one day! He winked
-But… We just met each other today… Do you really think I would go to Korea for you…? I chuckled
-I don’t why, but I have this feeling that you will come for me. You look so familiar… yet I am pretty sure I only met you today…, he sincerely looked at my eyes

-Okay, you have my trust! I’ll be there, for you~ But I’ll only be staying for a week, I winked
-Oh dang, alright I’ll be waiting for you my whole life, but now I have to go or else I’ll miss my plane, He kissed my cheeks while hugging me and left, as if as he knew that I would end up crying

 

Yes, it was simply like that. I think he actually flirted with me; anyway, this must be him. Whilst I was dreaming of stuffs that may happen between us, the flight attendant explained us everything that we should know. Shortly after the plane took off, I fell asleep, maybe because I finally met him.

 

The flight attendant woke me up, saying that we arrived to Seoul. I thanked her and headed for the exit.

-, I said after wanting to pay something in the souvenir shop
-You may go to find help outside of the store, you just need to turn left then turn right, the cashier said as she heard me
-T-thank you and I’m sorry, I bowed to head to the place she told me to go
While running I tripped, IT’S NOT MY FAULT IF I’VE ALWAYS BEEN CLUMSY. A woman lifted me up, but as she saw me, she widened her eyes and stepped back.
-Y-you’re the bad karma I felt in the plane… She pointed at me
-Excuse me…? I couldn’t really understand her Korean
Plus she was really scaring me.
-You have something different from us. You are exuding the feeling of loneliness, yet, only a few can see this aura, I guess I am fated to tell you this, she replied me in English (It’s Nicole from KARA)
-Loneliness? I shivered; she was right about that…
-It’s going to be different, this time, if you don’t go, you may escape from it, but if you go, you may regret, this is all I got to say, good luck, she bowed before going away

 

Someone tapped my shoulders while I was thinking about the awkwardness that just happened. I turned back to find a cute guy that seems familiar to me.

-Excuse me I think you dropped this, he expressed himself in Chinese which quite surprised me
-Ah, yes this is my wallet, you quite surprised me though, how do you know I can talk Chinese?

-What will you say if I told you it’s because I’ve loved since forever? He winked

-I guess I wouldn’t believe you? I giggled
-Hah, that’s a good answer, Miss Robin?

-Yes, actually my Chinese name is Li Shuli, how should I call you gentleman?

-I’m Xi Luhan, he offered his hand and we had a handshake
-It’s good meeting you, I’m going to remember about you, I chuckled

He wouldn’t understand my ‘remember about you’, because he is not me. He wouldn’t know that I will remember about him in my new life, well when I’ll reach my 7years old, he’s so far, someone that caught my attention.

-Of course you will, well, where are you heading?
-I’m heading to a photo studio, you?

-I’m not heading anywhere, I am free, he smirked
-Then go live your adventure and remember that I existed, I winked and left him

I was about to get outside, until he shouted:
-Shuli! I love you! See you in a week!

I turned back to attempt to see him, but he was gone.
