It’s back in your middle school time… You are already living a year in Korea but you couldn’t talk the language that’s why you had private lessons. The teacher inside of the class is saying that they are having a new student from a foreign country and calls you. As soon as you step in the class, everyone is looking at you. You are feeling uneasy but you are introducing yourself,

“Annyong haseyo yeoreobun, jeonyn _____ imida.” Everyone have big eyes.

“She is speaking Korean fluently! But she is never a Korean!”

“____-a, there is a free seat for you!” the teacher is saying and pointing on a chair in the background.

“Ne~, gamsa hapnida.” You are answering. Next to you is a free chair. Suddenly the door opens but no one is noticing it. A little boy is sneaking into the room. He looks at you, grins and makes a ‘Psst’ sin. Even as he sit down next to me, no one looks at him. Just as the attendance was asked, the teacher got wary,

“You weren’t here when _____-a introduced herself, or?”

“Of course I was here! Her name is… *whispers* what’s your name?” Surprised you are answering,

“_____” He repeats your name and the teacher is satisfied with it.

“By the way” the boy whispers, “my name is ***, nice to meet you.”, and smiles bright.

The bells are ringing to the lunch break. The whole class is standing around you and want to know what your hobbies are, where you are from, how many languages you are speaking and a lot more. While answering the questions, you realize that the boy disappeared. You are trying to get out of the crowed of children and to get outside in your beloved nature.

Under a big tree, you are having your lunch. You are leaning on the tree and you are so tired that you are falling asleep.

“Ya! Ireona! Class is starting in ten minutes!” The boy from before is jumping from the tree and lands beside me.

“You-“ you are starting but he takes your hand and pulls you to the school.

“There is no time for it! We need to hurry! Why the hell are you sleeping under a tree?” it looks like the boy is confused.

“I just love the nature… and if I am as tired as I was then I can fall asleep easily…” You are trying to explain. He starts to laugh,

“You really can fall asleep anywhere as long as it is in the nature, hein?”

“Stop laughing! Everyone has their own habits and that’s mine!” The angrier you get the slowly you are going back.

“I am not laughing at you! I think it’s cute.” He turns around and smiles shyly. That’s how a great friendship started!

You are opening your eyes and see that’s still dark.

° How come I forgot his name? °

Your smartphone is telling you that you still have an hour before your alarm is going to ring, that’s why you are taking a shower before taking a breakfast. After you got ready for college, you are looking at your guitar.

° Should I play a bit? ° You lift your arm but take it right back.

° There is no time for that! Tomorrow! ° And you are leaving for your lesson.
