Just Have to Make it Through Dinner
A Whole New World" Hi I mean Hello I'm Alex". I said bowing, stupid honorifics.
" Hello we would like to introduce you too our son Bang Min Soo, we also have 3 older daughters they'll be here any moment, Min Soo Introduce yourself".
" I'm Min Soo". He said and looked away. At that moment there was a knock at the door I went to go answer it there were 3 girls obviously older than me looked at me.
" This might be the wrong house these people are foriegn mom said they are Korean". They said one stepped foreward and started speaking in English.
" Hello sorry this is the wrong house". She said slowly so in Korean I said.
" No this isn't the wrong house you mom, dad, and brother are inside, welcome come inside I'm Alex". I said opening the door wider.
" Alex? Isn't that a boy name". The third on said
" My mom picked it I mostly take after her". I could tell this was gonna be a long night I just had to make it through dinner. We all sat a dinner table having some weird noodle dish while everybody was using chopsticks I was using a fork I have never been able to use chopsticks Min Soo looked at my fork and snickered I just stayed looking down.
" So I heard you guys just moved from America". The mom said.
" Yes my wife died a couple of weeks ago and I had no family over in America so we moved here so I could help my family with our noodle shop". My dad explained when dad mentioned mom dying I stopped eating.
" Oh I'm sorry if there is anything we can do we would be happy to do it". Mr Bang said.
" No it's alright at least my daughter looks like her so I see her everyday".
" You're daughter is so beautiful her hair is such a pretty red". Mrs. Bang
" What are those things all over your face"? One of the sister asked and I hears the other two and Min Soo snicker". The parents yelled at her.
" Nah It's ok they're freckles I have a lot of them and.... so did my..mom, will you excuse me". I said and left I guess I did make it through dinner now it is time for bed I couldn't stop thinking about mom so I put in my earbuds and went to bed.
