Foreword
Yuri's Point of View
I kneeled on the pew and started praying..
"Dear Lord, I am so grateful of the blessings you have given me for the past years of my life and in your hands I rest my worries. Guide and bless me on this trip that I may truly savor the wonderful world around me."
Finally, I am free and I will live the life I want..
My name is Kwon Yuri and I am going on a cruise, this is my dream.. To be able to reach different places. I will have fun and forget about my worries. World, here I come!!
I went back home and started packing my stuff, well, I really do not need a lot of stuff but just enough to keep me going for a few days. I sat on my bed and looked around my room, I shut my eyes as I felt a pain in my heart.
"This is absurd, please keep calm my heart. Let's enjoy this moment ok?"
I talked to myself and after a few seconds, I felt better. I continue to scan my room and after I made sure that I have what I need, I went down the stairs and walked out of the house not forgetting to lock it. I hailed a cab and asked the driver to get me to the park, my first and last stop.
As soon as I paid the cab driver, I walked to where old men are playing chess. This is one of my favorite parts in the park, being surrounded by experienced men and women playing chess while sipping coffee and talking about anything under the sun. They became my friends overtime, after they saw me crying alone on the bench 23 years ago.
I approached them as they started waving at me to come to them; these are the people I am going to miss while I'm gone. I bid the men goodbye while the women request a hug. Soon I heard young boys and girls running towards us, each one yelling a "Goodbye unnie!" Such sweet young creatures, the world will not be fun without children. After much of saying goodbye and a promise to get back, I started walking to the port,,, this is it S.E.O.U.L! I will be gone and I don't know when I will be coming back, if I don't then see you in my next life. I took a deep breath and prepared my ticket while walking to the ship's plank.
As I was giving my ticket to the reception office, I suddenly stopped looking at a blonde girl walking next to me. She reached out to give her ticket to the reception officer at the same time I was giving my ticket. Her arm brushed against my arm and I felt electricity moved on my body, I feeling I haven't felt for a long time. I turned my face on her and nodded so that she can go ahead of me instead, she gave me a shy smile and I made a few steps back to give her space. As soon as she was done, I felt out of trance and proceeded to show my ticket and identification.
My sister, Taeyeon booked me on a luxury cruise with the helped of our cousin Sooyoung. Why did I ever entrust my unnie of my bank account? When I stepped on the ship, I couldn't help but sigh and told myself to thank my sister and cousin once I see them in Singapore. It is so cool! I feel like I am in a 21st century Titanic remake, the ship is grandiose. My feet felt like has its own life, it started walking towards the diner area. Happy people eating together, families, friends and lovers..
Since I'm still full, I walked away the diner area and explore the other areas on the ship. After full two hours of walking around and eyeing people going back and forth, I felt tired and decided to check on my suite. Found room 122 not far from the club area, I quickly inserted my card key and opened the door. The suite is breathtaking, it's not as big as my room on my house but with a queen-size bed and a glass sliding window overlooking the vast ocean and clouds, I can't helped myself to be awed at the wonderful sight. This is epic as I started rummaging through my things for my camera, I am eager to start shooting memories of my fantastic journey towards life...
Jessica's Point of View
I kneeled on the pew and started praying..
"Dear Lord, I am so grateful of the blessings you have given me for the past years of my life and in your hands I rest my worries. I know that these challenges are here to make me stronger and I know that you will guide and bless me on this trip to find myself back and to be able to continue moving forward with my life."
Outside the church, I looked around me and felt a different kind of relief,, from stress, problems and worries...
My name is Jung Sooyeon and I am going on a cruise, this is my way of reflecting.. To be able to find answers to move forward after a heartbreaking episode in my life. World, here I come!
I went back home and found that my parents are waiting for me; my father embraced me like he wants to keep me to himself. My mother is different on the other hand; she kept on rubbing my back while she crying. I couldn't really understand what she was saying, although her hand on my back says everything. I saw my cousin and best friend, Sunny and Tiffany. They were here to say goodbye to me, but I knew they wouldn't wait long to join me once I am in Malaysia. I just knew the two girls to well that they will not let me be alone the entire trip.
After saying to many goodbyes, I walked towards my father's coaster while he placed my luggages at the back. Mother and the girls decided not to go as they have other things to do, which I totally understand. I don't want to see my mother crying nonstop while looking at me going to the ship's plank.
When we arrived at the port, my father hugged me one last time before saying "Enjoy and we will miss you!". I started walking towards the reception officer, I was thinking something and I didn't notice that another girl had already reached her hand towards the officer to show her ticket. My arm brushed against her and I stopped. My body froze as electricity ran through my whole body. This feeling I felt the same when I fell in love. She looked at me and nodded indicating that I can go ahead of her. I shyly smiled at her and proceeded.
My cousin who is also one of my best friends, Sunny booked me on a luxury cruise with the helped of our other best friend Tiffany. Why did I let those two get me on this? When I stepped on the ship, I couldn't help but sigh and told myself to thank my best friends. I have been on different cruises since I was a kid, because my parents love to travel to discover different types of spices. My parents owned chains of restaurants and they love to go to different places to learn different types of delicacies.
I passed by the diner area and saw few lovers eating together, this made my mood changed. I decided to check on my suite. Found room 123 close to the club area, I quickly inserted my card key and opened the door. Although the suite is breathtaking, I did not feel great about it at this time. I started opening my luggage and throw items everywhere, without knowing it, I started crying again! I hate her, I hate her, I hate her!!
I thought I will forget her, I will forget what happened. But it !! Because the pain is still lingers here... Argh!!!
