Dreaming

J I E U N 1 | when the snow felt like home

The day I returned to Korea I found out that my great grandfather died leaving all his inheriting in my name. My half sister Ji-a have been trying to get a hold of me, I knew that they wanted me to sign papers to hand over the land that was in my name.

I tapped my phone to see a message from Eun-hye that she won't be able to pick me up. She was likely to got scolded by her grandfather. It have been years since the last time I saw her, but there was always tomorrow I could meet up with her.

"Ms Jeong?" I turned around to see Eun-hye personal driver. I haven't seen Mr Si-woo in a while, it been almost five years since the last time I saw him, he didn't look like he age one bit he look the same as before.

"Eun-hye told me to pick you up, but she didn't say where exactly." I knew she would end up forgetting to tell Si-woo where I would like to be dropped off. Living on campus doesn't seem like a good idea.

“Oh do you remember my mother old home? Could you take me there?" Si-woo closed the truck and nodded his head. I closed my eyes thinking if it was a good idea to come back to Korea. My mother told me she would support me what decision I decided to make.

I scrolled through Wechat group chat to see there was a message from Ju-won asking if I was still active in this chat normally, I wouldn't say anything, after all I never cut ties with him completely.

No I'm not active in here.

The second I reply in the group chat Ju-won texted me asking me when I will returned to Korea. If I were to tell him he would end up telling Hae-seong who I have been ignoring this whole time, I did stop contacting everyone since I moved to America.

"Ms Jeong we're here." I got out the car and took my bags out the car and thanked Si-woo who kindly helped me bring in the other bags.

"Ji-eun we have to stay another two months are you okay with it?" My mother said through the phone. I could tell she was worried with being alone knowing that my father have been trying to contact me.

"Mother I will be fine school start in a few days, if I feel like I can't handle something, I will give you a call." She sound she didn't want me to stay here alone, but school will distract me from many things it will keep from overthinking.

"Alright, I will let you go Ji-eun since I have a meeting in the morning." I ended the call and lay down on the floor. There was only a few more boxes that I need to unpacked and it was clothes that I need to hang up, but I could do that tomorrow.

I open the front door to see it small little snowflake falling from the sky. This was the first snow I saw since I got back from Korea there was some part of America where it doesn't snow and it was rare of me to see snow.

This was the first time when the snow felt like home it only brought me comfort. There wasn't I time I could recall where I like watching the snow falling from the sky. My phone went off to see there was text message from Eun-hye.

I have professor Do-yun for first period and he hates me (╥_╥)

I laugh at the thought of her crying in her bedroom knowing that he didn't like the fact that Eun-hye can really talk back knowing every answer to his question. Her grade in math class were better than mine.

My brother had to tutor me knowing it took me weeks to understand a problem. It was the only subject that I had a hard time understand, but every time, my brother taught me I got better there was step he would jump for me to understand.

When other people try to tutor me they would get annoyed on how I couldn't understand them when they didn't make any sense. It did surprised me that I did passed math class I almost did failed if I didn't do the make up test.

There was only problem and that was my sister Ji-a who have been trying to contact me for one thing and that was to sign papers to hand over my inheriting.

When I was having a hard time my mother knew what was happening to me and picked me up. She didn't ask me question and let me cry knowing I was having a hard.

There was a time where my mother did loved my father, but when he pick business over his love life my mother wanted to divorced him not leaving him a dime. The reason why his company grew was thanks to my mother.

My mother was heart broken at first, but she accepted a job offer who wanted to work with her in America at first she deny the offer, but she took it when she asked me if she could take the job offer, I knew that she didn't want to leave me behind with my father.

I didn't want to stop my mother from living her dream, she deserved to be happy and find someone who she love and support her along the way. I do hope one day she could be happy and not with us.

There was message that pop on my screen that was from my mother. Tears fell from eyes when I read the message that she send me. It really did show that I did really miss my mother and her hugs that would comfort me.

Remember to call me when you're having a hard time and I love you, Ji-eun.
