"mom... I'm here " shouted Ji Hyo in front of her gate house.
Meanwhile a middle-aged woman shows up to open the door, she is Mrs. Song, Ji Hyo's mother.
"aigoo, my first daughter is finally home!"said madam Song approaching her daughter excitedly, Ji Hyo.
"oemmaaa ...."said Ji Hyo hugged her mother tightly to show her longing for the woman. It had been a very long time for them not to see each other like that.
"I miss you mom ..."Ji Hyo added while wrapping her arm around her mother's waist.
"aigoo, who told you to stay in America for such a long period of time if you really miss me like this?"said madam Song slapping Ji Hyo on the head with her hand hardly.
"mom, it hurts.."Ji Hyo complained while stroking her head.
"it's a punishment because you never listen to what mother says." madam Song said irritably revealing her angry face. Ji Hyo just smiled cheerfully and tried to reduce her mother's resentment towards her.
"I'm sorry mom, okay?"Ji Hyo said with her cute round eyes. Mrs. Song just looked at her coldly but then she smiled at how cute and lively her daughter was.
"but Ji Hyo-ah, did you come alone? Where is Woo Bin? You didn't see him?"asked the curious lady who couldn't find a man named Woo Bin anywhere behind the woman.
"Woo Bin? Who is he?"ask Ji Hyo don't understand, this is the first time she has heard that name.
"Woo Bin... Kim Woo Bin, my friend's son. His mother asked Woo Bin to pick you up at the airport, you didn't meet each other?" Mrs. Song asked puzzly to see her daughter respond.
"I don't know... I don't know him, and also oemma, why ask him to pick me up? We haven't even met before and we don't know each other..."Ji Hyo said with her innocent face.
"yakk!! you! Didn't I tell you that someone would pick you up? Why did you go home alone?"Mrs. Song asked Ji Hyo while hitting her first daughter's arm hardly for several times.
"ahh ... ahh oemma, it hurts!"said Ji Hyo gently stroking her arm. Although her mother did often beat her like that, but Ji Hyo also missed the grumpy side of the mother, well that is a trait that was later passed on to Ji Hyo.
"why are you so stubborn and unwilling to listen to your mother huh?"asked Mrs. Song who was very upset.
"mama, I'm sorry, don't hit me again em? It's my first day home and you keep beating me..."said the woman put up her cat eyes trying to look pathetic in front of her mother.
"aigoo, this woman, I feel guilty about Woo Bin and his mother now..."said Mrs. Song took her phone and called her best friend.
"yeoboseyo (Hello)... Woo Bin ommoni (Woo Bin's mother)? Ah... I'm really sorry, Ji Hyo just came home now... Yes.... .... jeongmal cheonsongeyo.... (I'm really sorry)" Mrs. Song said through her cell phone.
Ji Hyo just looked at her mother's bewilderment, why did her mother have to say sorry because her daughter had arrived home safely? The young woman then took her suitcase and pulled her away into the House.
"mom, I came in Yes, I'm so tired..."Ji Hyo said as she passed by her mother who was still busy with her cell phone.
Ji Hyo walked into her house and went straight to her bedroom straight on the second floor. Nothing has changed from his room even though ten years have passed. The designer put his suitcase by the door, he does not think about tidying up his clothes later and only plans to rest and sleep now. She only needs a minute to really fall into her deep sleep because she is a dear Sleeping Beauty.
Ji Hyo felt that she had been asleep for six hours and she did not realize that the sky had completely turned dark.
"Ji Hyo-ah... let's have dinner!"Mrs. Song shouted from the ground floor. The eldest daughter of the family did not listen to anything and continued to enjoy the island of her dreams.
"yeobo (honey), maybe he is sleeping now, he must be tired" said Mr. Song to his wife.
"still, she can't miss her family's dinner, it's been 10 years to finally be able to return to dinner with a family like this, aish this woman really frustrates me" nagged Mrs. Song.
"I'll wake him up oemma!"said Ji Eun, the second daughter of the Song family. He stood up from his chair and walked towards the stairs to approach his sister's room. Ji Eun is six years younger than her brother , she is now working at one of the TV stations as a scriptwriter.
"yak oenni (older sister) , wake up!!"Ji Eun shouted when she was inside Ji Hyo's room but the woman still didn't move a bit. Ji Eun then showed a mischievous smile when she saw her sleeping sister, she suddenly jumped on the bed and dropped her body on her sleeping sister.
"yakk! You're hurting me!"shouted Ji Hyo who finally woke up because she felt pain all over her body due to Ji Eun's actions.
"hahaha, that's why oenni, get up palli (quickly)". Oemma just kept nagging..."Ji Eun said happily as she managed to wake up her brother.
"Yak, Ji Eun-ah, how dare you wake me up like that?"tanya Ji Hyo is annoyed at her little sister. He pulled his sister's hair and almost bit her right hand.
"akk!! Oenni, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, " Ji Eun said. They haven't seen each other for a long period of time and they really enjoy the time with them to fight or hit each other, that's their way of showing their closeness.
"just take a quick shower there and come down" said Ji Eun pulling Ji Hyo's hand and encouraging her to go to the bathroom.
"don't spend your time too long, everyone is already waiting for you" said Ji Eun out of her sister's room and back to the dining room.
Ji Hyo only needs five minutes to take a shower, she tries to take a shower as soon as possible because she doesn't want to accept the nagging from her mother anymore.
After bathing Ji Hyo walked towards the dressing table to find her hair comb. He looked for a comb inside the locker and he found a picture book under the comb. He really knew the picture book well, he decided to leave the picture book ten years ago before he went to America.
Ji Hyo slowly took the picture book and opened it. He found a sketch of a man drawn by himself a long time ago, the man in the sketch looks very handsome with his perfectly visible nose bone, small eyes and a strong jaw line.
The first sketch was a drawing of a man who looked so serious and tried to make something with his pencil in the book he was holding. Ji Hyo opened the next page and found a sketch of the man's smiling face that looked very warm. The woman smiled when she saw the man's face again, she looked at the picture with meaning in her heart.
"annyeong oppa (hai oppa) ... it's been a long time..."Ji Hyo muttered talking to the man in the picture. Her mind flew away and returned to her memory ten years ago when she was still a student at Seoul University.
At that time Ji Hyo was walking around In Her Campus stationery store, she was looking for a stationary device for the purpose of attending her class. The girl walked around for half an hour but she couldn't find anything whatever she wanted.
The stationery store was so large with three floors of the building, it was no wonder that people needed to spend a long time if they visited the store before finding what they were looking for. After a long walk around, Ji Hyo finally finds the stationary tool she needs, she immediately approaches the stationery rack but when she almost reaches for it a man suddenly picks up the stationary tool from his place. Ji Hyo was only able to gawk at her position, it was the last edition of the stationary tool and she knew she couldn't get it anymore anywhere , she looked at the stationary tool in the man's hand with disappointment.
"oh, I'm sorry..."the man said politely when he found out Ji Hyo appeared next to him and wanted to take the same thing as him.
"it's okay,.. you took it first " said the girl in a disappointed voice.
"that's the last edition..."Ji Hyo added Sadly.
"Ah really... yeah... It's for you then ..."said the man offered the stationary device he was holding to Ji Hyo.
"a-anniyoo (Ah no) ... gwenchanayo (it's okay)... I can find it in another store " Ji Hyo said doubtfully.
"it's Okay, I have to act like a gentleman and be willing to give in to a girl..."the man said with a warm smile, he looked very shy but also polite. Ji Hyo looked at him hesitantly but in fact she is really felt happy in her heart.
"is that really... Okay?"ask Ji Hyo again.
"yes... It's okay, just take it..."the man replied smiling.
Ji Hyo pitted her own nails and smiled and then stuck out her tongue, she felt very embarrassed but she really wanted to take the stationary away from him.
"thank you very much ..." said Ji Hyo then took a stationary device from the man. He just nodded while still smiling at her. The man then turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait, Are you also a student here?"Ji Hyo asked the man.
"yes.." the man replied while turning around to look towards Ji Hyo.
"me too, I'm Song Ji Hyo, from the arts department, I'm in my second semester right now," Ji Hyo introduced herself.
"Oh yes, I'm Kim Jong Kook, from the architect department, I'm going through my last semester now," Jong Kook said.
"Ah I see, please take care of me sunbaenim (Senior)" said Ji Hyo bowing politely and smiling cheerfully.
"alright, please take care of me too... Ji Hyo-ah... is it okay to call you like that? You're my junior anyway?" asked Jong Kook smiled back asking the girl for permission to call her in a friendly way.
"of course... Jong Kook sunbaenim (senior)..."Ji Hyo said and showed a big smile.
