Welcome back!
Welcome to my lifeClasses ended and I told Jessica that I'm going home late because I need to go to the library. And I think I'll go home alone.
She nodded and smiled at me. I went to the library, I borrowed a book and before I went out in the library. I saw a man that
looks like Gongchan. I think it's the guy that I met yesterday that I thought he's Gongchan. I passed by at him and heard his
voice. His voice is so familiar! I went back to the guy where he is standing. I grabbed his arm. He turned around and my eyes
went huge when I saw his face. Gongchan's standing in front of me! As in standing in front of me!
"Gongchan?"
"Xenia?" his eyes went huge
"Gongchan!"
He gave me a warm hug and let go of me
"Why are you here?" he asked
"Isn't it obvious? I'm a student here"
He looked me from head to toe "I didn't realize that you were wearing the school uniform"
"I should be the one to ask that kind of question. Why are you here?"
"I took the exam. Why did you transfer here?"
"It's a long story" I smiled at him
"Let's go out!" he said as he grabbed my wrist
"Sure!"
We went to a convenient store. We bought junk foods and an ice cream. We went outside the convenient store and sat on the bench
outside the convenient store.
"Did you pass the exam?" I asked him
He nodded "I got 195. You?"
"198"
His eyes went huge "Wow! You're genius"
I smiled shyly
"Why did you transfer to that school?" he asked me
"After umma died, my appa told me that I'm going to live in his house with his family. He also decided to transfer me to that school
because our school in Incheon is quite far away from Seoul"
He nodded
"Why did you take the exam late?" I asked him
"We had a short vacation in Busan before we transfered here in Seoul"
I nodded
"Where's your house?"
"In Jung-gu. You?"
"In Seodaemun-gu"
"Ohh.. not quite far" I smiled at him
There was an awkward silence. He broke the silence.
"Are you okay with your new family?" he asked as he looked at me
"Ne. My stepmom is good to me. She's like my umma"
"That's good. You're lucky because you have a good stepmom that treats you as her real daughter"
"But my appa" I muttered
"What about you're appa?" he asked
I bowed down "He don't treat us equally. He likes my stepsister than me"
"Who's younger? You or your stepsister?"
"Me"
"Maybe he doesn't know how to approach you. Maybe he thought that you're still angry at him which he also thought he can't approach
you that easily"
I looked at him "My appa likes Jessica than me. She even calls her as his princess"
"It's because your appa was there when Jessica was still young. While you, he wasn't there when you grew up. I think you should
understand your appa. Don't think negatives about your appa. And I know someday, you'll get close with him"
"Gomawo for the advices, Gongchan" I smiled at him
"I'm always here to hear your problems" he smiled back at me
"I think I need to go home" I said as I stood up
"I can take you home" he stood up
"Aniya" I turned around but he grabbed my wrist
I turned around and he pulled me for a hug
"I miss you" he whispered into my ears
He let go of me
"I miss you too" I smiled at him
I went away and waved at him
Gongchan, you really don't know how happy I am today. I was so happy when I met you again and knowing that we'll be having the
same school. My only true friend came back. Welcome back to my messy life, Gongchan Shik
