SWEET AS M&M

Description

It takes a candid conversation with a friendly stranger to make Eunjung realize she wants something more in her life. She's had enough.
 
More and more Eunjung is seeing how much her life feels like a limbo of mistakes and disappointment. Sure, her website is doing reasonably well, (as a hawker) one of her best friends has found the love of her life, and she has been on her own (without sinking in serious debt) for a few years now.

But in all the rush-rush and near failure of her attendance to Gyuri's wedding, Eunjung realizes she needs something more. This can't be all there is.

Perhaps the challenge a stranger gave her is the lifeline she needs. 
She needs to go out on a limb, and see in what direction life spins her. 

Now she just needs to find the courage. 
One step out her door--perhaps she'll find out what the world is really about.

What life is about. Maybe it's a journey of mistakes and miracles.
 

Foreword

Surrounded by honking cars in Seoul traffic, Eunjung looked in her rear view mirror to make sure her lipstick handn't strayed. She had a habit of touching her face when she was nervous or excited and at times she forget she had make up on, the end result was rather interesting. And she didn't want go through an international airport looking like The Joker's pretty-in-pink cousin.

Remembering the last time she had an incident, Eunjung laughed happily to herself. It had been during her last visit to her Jeju Island buddy Gyuri. her excitement was revving with the traffic.

Seeing the cars beginning to moce forward, Eunjung followed in her light blue mini copper and looked down the road.  boutique, GlitterGirl.

Honestly, sound like a strippers.

Oh gosh. There was Starbucks.

Eunjung's eyes widened with desire, she bit her lip. Right after peanut M&Ms, her favourite thing was a frappacino. Chocolate or caramel, loaded with whipped cream.

She was coming closer. Spinning the wheel quickly, Eunjung pulled into their lot in a nick of time. A horn blasted erupted behind her, then passed.

Leaning forward, Eunjung look at the posters as she crept carefully into line. There were at least four cars ahead her. She couldn't tell.

Oh, that strawberry one looks nice...its new... What about one of the caramel fraps? Ohh! It's a triple chocolate one! I haven't had one of those since..Eunjung fell back against the seat. Jezz. Last week. How lame is that? Well, I'm obviously due another one. Especially to celebrates this special day.

She grinned, and pulled up in the moving line. The day was beautiful, she was going to Jeju Island, and she was going to get a chocolate-fesed frappacino. What could be better?

When she pulled up to the order booth, Eunjung's eye just briefly flicked to the price as she began to speak.

"Hi, this is Tiffany. What would you like today?" 

As though they were buddies and not complete strangers, Eunjung chirped confidently,

"Hi Tiffany! I am going to have triple chocolate frapp.."

Eunjung paused as she happened to glance through the glass windows of the store. In mid sentence, she let out loud gasp. Like an feared object enlarging in a nightmare, she had seen the digital clock on the store's far wall.

"Is everything all right, miss?"

"Ah, yeah." Eunjung answered, clearing . There were several cars behind. She was penned.

"Uh, I'm going to have triple frappacino. I mean a grand tripple chocolate frappacino!"

"Okay, anything else?"

Eunjung quikly answered in the negative and got her amount, then sped on toward the next window. She sat there, nervously drumming her fingers on the wheel as she anxiously looked at the time. She had been in the line almost twenty minutes.

Eunjung fantasized jumping out of her car and taking off down the street for the airport. Then she pictured her car bursting through the hedge, barrelling for the nearest lane.

"Here you go! have a nice day!" Tiffany said smiling sweetly and handling Eunjung her frappacino a few minutes later

"Yeah!" Eunjung made a beeline for the exit, several cars there trying to merge into the rushing traffic. The cars were sweeping past, as Eunjung nudged her cooper closer and closer. 

"Oh get over it!" Eunjung shouted. because of frappacino she was going to be late for her best friend's wedding!

Her eyes rapidly scanning road signs and direction, and finally saw the airport coming in sight. Her tires screeched as she wound through the garage shortly afterward, looking for her space. She caught sight of it and brought her cooper to the halt, parking somewhere crooked. Flinging her seat belt off, she grabbed her bags and keys and tumbled out the door as she pressed the lock button and made for the back, and yanked out her pink luggage.

Jerking out the bar handle she took off for one of the entrance doors along the far wall of the garage. Her high heels tettered and clicked against the concrete, and growling in frustration. Eunjung ripped them off. She took off at a run in her bare feet, her luggage rumbling behind. She drew many looks as she flew through the courts and escalators.

Lifting her luggage free of the steps, Eunjung hurried down the escalators. upon nearing the bottom she leapt the last two steps and ran for her gate, heels and bags bobbing in her arm.

"Oh please don't tell I'm late!" She gasped desperately to the man behind the gate counter. 

"For the 2.00 flight?" the man stammered in surprise. "I'm sorry. Its been already boarded.They're preparing to take off." He stared at her, whether in shock of her disheveled appearance or her outburst was uncertain.

"Whaat?" Eunjung gasped,half to herself and half to the attendant. She looked at the clock, plainly late, and look around. 

"Ohh no." She turned to the sitting area across the walkway, her feet paddling softly on the tile floor.

Falling into the first chair, she slumped there dejectly. She took out her phone, intending to call Gyuri with the horrible news that she couldn't make it. Completely dead. How on earth could she leave on her trip and not charge her phone??

Eunjung could feel everything beginning to churn inside, a wretches mix of mounting fury and terrible worthlessness. She was going to miss her best friend's wedding, all because of chocholate frappacino. And she didnt have the funds for another ticket.

I will never drink one of those again. Eunjung thought to herself. She could not forgive herself. Her best friend. And she was the maid of honor!

Now Eunjung was not one who really believed in serendidpity, or manna falling from heaven. Not really, but that was the moment a bag of peanut M&Ms decided to fall in her lap.

Eunjung jumped, thinking for the briefest moment that they had actually fallen from heaven. But then she looked up as she grabbed them.

No, they hadn't fallen from the heaven or the ceiling for that matter either. Because what Eunjung saw wasn't the heavens opening, it was simply a tall dude in faded jeans and loose shirts, smiling down at her with a beautiful, full smile.

For a moment, she couldn't speak.

Was this angels in disguise looked like? they did a pretty good job.
