Graduation Part I

Author's POV

Yoong and Jessica were making their way towards the auditorium, when Yoong saw his mom entering the school. Unlike Yoong's classmates at Sone High, he did not come from a wealthy and influential family. Instead, Yoong grew up in a small humble family, that was neither poor nor rich. They were considered as “middle class.”

After recognizing his mom, Yoong happily approached her. With Jessica following behind.

"Umma! Over here!” Yoong yelled out across the field.

Hearing this, Yoong's mom quickly walked over to him.

"Where's appa?” Yoong asked.

"Your appa is on his way. There was an accident on the road, so he is stuck in traffic.” Mrs. Im replied

"oh okay.” Yoong said.

"Annyeonghaseyo, auntie.” Jessica greeted.

"Oh, annyeong Jessica, aigoo, you're getting prettier and prettier everyday.” Mrs. Im replied.

"Anniyo, auntie.” Jessica replied feeling a bit embarrassed of Mrs. Im's comment.

"Umma's right Sica. You're getting prettier everyday. You're beauty is truly one of a kind.” Yoong butted in with a small shade of pink on his cheeks.

"You're just teasing me again Yoong.” Jessica pouted, but truthfully, Yoong's words made her heart skip a beat. Sending butterflies into her stomach.

No I'm not.” Yoong replied

“Yeah-huh.” Jessica replied

“nuh-uh”

“yeah-huh”

“nuh-uhhh”

“yeah-huhhhh
