I waved goodbye to my family on that Sunday afternoon. A tear fell down to my cheeks. I really had a good time, even though it's still hurt to think about her, but I had to move on from it. I had to continue my life. I know sooner or later, it all will be good again, as usual. Everything's gonna be OK. I entered the KTX to bring me back to Seoul. I sat close to a middle-aged woman and her son. He looks so cute with the bangs and blue cap. Along the way, he stole a look at me. I chuckled.
"Annyeong..." I smiled at him. "Ahjumma, your son looks so cute."
"Ah... Kyungsan... Thank you." She smiled warmly.
"Oh, your name is Kyungsan? How old are you?"
"I'm... 8 years old."
"Oh, you're big already."
"I am! I'm not a kid anymore."
I shared the laughter with his mother. He's indeed a cute boy.
"Noona, are you a celebrity?"
"No... Why do you say that?"
"Cause noona so pretty. Right, umma?" He seeks for approval.
"Yes. She is so pretty." The mother gave me a thumb up. I smiled warmly.
"When I grew up, I want to be a boy group idol, like EXO!"
"Ah... You like EXO, little kid?"
"Yes, I am!" He grinned. "I will give noona special invitation later on."
"By that time will you still remember me?"
"I will. Noona is too pretty to be forgotten." That made all of us laughed. It was so cute.
"That's really a big compliment, Kyungsan-ah!"
EXO... My mind drifted away remembering my ex-lover: Byun Baekhyun. I remember the day he came back and knocked on my door. The day he kissed me, and Jessica caught us. That day was really blurred. Bitter taste reminded again. I really thought about Jessica again. I remember that we didn't discuss it after the night she picked me up at the office. More thoroughly is where I didn't even ask about her feelings. I never asked if she was alright. I began to pause to think deeply.
Imperceptibly, the speeding train that took me back to Seoul was almost at its destination. The mother and Kyungsan get ready to get off, exactly 1 station before my arrival station. Before leaving, Kyungsan gave me a packet of jelly-patterned candy.
"Noona. This is for you."
"You don't have to give noona anything."
"I see noona looking sad. Hope by eating candy, noona will be happier."
"Oh... Thank you, Kyungsan. You're so kind."
"OKAY!" He seemed very thrilled.
"I'll wait for your invitation. Kyungsan fighting!"
