New day
I fall inlove with my brother? A-W-K-W-A-R-D.As mum said, I reached Busan town in about ten minute walk. Tall building stood up, cars passing by. Everyone were rushing going for work, not wanting to lose their job and be scolded at. Some shops were still closed since it’s still early in the morning.
“930, phse 4, sajik-dong, Busan...” I read out from the piece of paper mum gave me. “Where is this?” I looked around, searching for the address.
I walked around for a few minute, crossed the road and passed by rows of shop. Suddenly, something catches my eyes. I stopped in front of a shop window, ‘Tellebijeon gage (Television shop)’. They exhibit a few television models in front and showing a show. My tears rolled down my cheek when I saw B2ST were singing and dancing on the screen. My chest ached, thinking that I can’t meet them anymore. I miss them. I miss Dongwoon :’(
“Eoni... gwaenchana?” Jiyoung looked at me on my right arm, sounded like she wanted to cry too.
Quickly, I wiped my tears away, “Ne... Gwaenchana.” I smiled at her, “Miyane...”
Somehow, I have to accept the fact and live up my life. I must be strong. No matter what, no matter how. I must live on. One day, things will get better. Mum’s rage will fade away and everything will get back to the way it is. Slowly, I walked on the path with my little sister on my arm, watching up to the grey cloud twirl toward the mountains, toward the promise of something better.

Finally, we reached the Children day care. “Annyeong-haseyo.” A friendly looked woman greeted me when I reached the front door. “Oh, annyeong jiyoung-nie.” She smiled, brushing Jiyoung’s hair with her thin palm.
“Annyeong-haseyo. I’m her eonnie.” I said.
“Oh, welcome. Please, come in.”
The room was filled with cute little children playing and running around. Then, without thinking much, I said, “Can I stay here and help?”
I spent my whole day with Jiyoung and her adorable little friends at the day care. Playing puzzle, mini-cooking, games, hide and seek and all. This way, I can forget all my worries and sadness that lingered in me. Even just for a while...
