Is This Love?
Kerry’s P.O.V
Su-Ji’s brother came into her room while we were finishing off my outfit for tomorrow... HE WAS SO SUPER CUTE!!! AND he winked at me... I nearly died there on the spot. I hope Su-Ji didn’t catch me staring. That would not have been a good look. I helped her tidy up all her clothes and put them back into the wardrobe.
After that, it was lunchtime. I’d missed breakfast this morning from being on the plane so I was absolutely starving! I have no idea what it was we had, but it was absolutely amazingly delicious although, much to my disappointment, Chin-Ho absent from the table as he was out having dinner with a group of friends.
Once we had eaten our fill, I was given a guided tour of the house and garden by Su-Ji’s mum,
“Why don’t you show Kerry around the neighbourhood and maybe go to the park?” She suggested to Su-Ji, who nodded and linked arms with me.
We wandered along to the end of the street, with Su-Ji pointing out where everyone lived, and turned left following the road down to near a big lake surrounded by trees where we could already hear the chatter of birds and the squeals of children running on the lush green grass.
She led me through a small wooden gate into the park which was almost full of people picnicking and enjoying the beautiful day. A young girl of about thirteen ran up to us:
“Hey, Su-Ji!”
“Oh, hi! All set for the practice tomorrow?”
“Always!” she smiled and then looked at me.
“Ah! Min-Hee, this is Kerry, Kerry, Min-Hee,” Su-Ji said, smiling.
We smiled at each other shyly before they continued to chat about the band practice for a short while. Before departing, Min-Hee kissed Su-Ji’s cheek and then smiled at me:
“See you tomorrow, maybe?”
“Yeah, sure,” I replied happily.
There was so much to do and see that by 7:00pm, I was so exhausted I could barely lift my legs up the stairs. Su-Ji had to keep giving me encouraging shoves in the direction of my room. She handed me a pair of pyjamas and a toothbrush, finally said goodnight and shut the door behind her; my eyes were heavy with the lack of sleep as I struggled into the jammies. I then lifted my weary legs into the bed, tossed the toothbrush that had just attempted to impale me into the bathroom and slipped into a deep, unbroken sleep.
