A new dawn.

Random events occur in life when we least expect them. There is a well-known legend that claims Hiroshima once had cherry blossoms in bloom. It is true that it takes time, therefore after writing in my journal, I left to start a new day with joy. He was still upset with his mother, and that was no secret. However, I wished to unite them both. I thus prepared spicy pork ramen for the three of us using beans I collected from the garden. I can now walk like I used to. My grandmother's health has improved as a result of my daily practice of making her special turmeric milk.

" Du Ho, grandma let's eat together."

"I must also visit the university. Grandma do you need anything"

"I don't need anything child. Take care of yourself"

"Ayoung, why aren't you contacting me for breakfast?

Suddenly Yoshie comes to our home.

"Oh, that yoshie...come on let's all dine together today. Did you forget me when your idiot came?"

"No, my baby girl. You're my everything. Let's eat now"

We all eat together. Yoshie and I finished our meal and prepared to go.

"Ayoung, please wait, I'm also coming. "

"Duho, What are your plans for the morning? ".

"I'm going to meet mum".

"Ah, that's fine Du ho...don't quarrel"

"Let's see, Ayeoung..."

We all went to school talking like that. He took a taxi to go to his mother's house.

"Life is good these days, isn't it, Yoshie?"

"Yes, I believe so as well. But I'm not optimistic about the future young."

"Don't say that, Yoshi; let's confront the facts."

Because there was not much work on campus. I thought of going for a walk alone in the evening. I thought this was a good opportunity to find new ideas. I used to go to Yeouido Park by myself. My phone rang just as I was sitting there thinking freely. But he's going to take it today. I'm not sure if he had a disagreement with his mother. "Ayoung.....are you at work?" as aspected.

"Sorry I didn't tell you. Now I'm in yeouido park"

"Do you want to go somewhere?"

"Where is suddenly? Why is this happening so suddenly?"

"No, there is no rush. Should we go?"

"But halmoni..."

"I got someone to look after her. can you come early today... We'll go early tomorrow morning."

"Okay. "

I thought to myself, he's in such a rush...He'd never spoken so hesitantly before. Whatever happened, I promised to accompany him.

But I had a feeling about it. We live a very monotonous life now because we can't walk everywhere as much as we did in Jeju. If we didn't grow up too soon, we would still have fun. But starting this trip is also useful. Then we can both be happy...but where are we going?

still, That is a separate enigma for me. Even when I came home, I imagined what would happen tomorrow. I picked up my drawing pad along with two or three clothes. Rather than taking photos, I like to paint what I see.

A sleepless night full of curiosity ended like this. In the morning I came to take care of halmoni and told the caretaker about the medicine and her diet. There is no one who is more worthy of me than grandma. Even though we both got out of the house, Du Ho did not tell me where we were going. He left for this journey without many conversations.

"Hey, idiots..what's up like an owl?? Get old soon.."

"Surprises Who Says, my Ayoung. hahaha"

We both got into the car with bags. Duho secretly told the location to the taxi driver. I laughed at his behavior. Looking around I enjoyed the trip.

"Ayoung, should I keep my head on my lap?"

Before I could say anything he rested his head on my lap.

"What happened to you today?"

"I didn't sleep yesterday. I'll sleep a little."

"Hmm"

I rubbed his head until he fell asleep. My love for him grew more and more. But I didn't tell him because of fear of losing the friendship. Suddenly Duho wakes up. He tied the knot My eyes were eventually tied tight with a scarlet ribbon.

"Du Ho... What are you up to?"

"Just wait a moment, Ayoung."

"Sir...we arrived at the area."

We got out of the vehicle when the driver stated that. Yet I have the impression that I am near the water. Duho's, I was catching him more and more for this job. Duho immediately pulled the fried ribbon from my eyes.

"Oh my god...this place is breathtaking."

A lovely motel with a sapphire beach. I felt like this was a lovely dream.

"Well... Isn't it a lovely, stupid girl? This is Jeongum Beach in Gangwon"

"Yes, Ayoung I wanted to surprise you. Bring out your smile again while in Jeju.."

When he said that, one or two tears fell from my eyes. While the cold sea breeze was blowing, the cry of the sea urchins spread throughout the world.

"I was surprised my funny baby" Pulled Du Ho's shirt and hugged him.

"Can't you just go back to Japan?"

"There is some small work. This time I will stay in Seoul after doing that."

He said lovingly while stroking my head. I felt Du Ho's warmth with the sea wind. The pressure that was in my mind for a while disappeared with his warmth like magic. Like a small child, I was holding on tightly. We both felt that there was something beyond our friendship, but we didn't know it. we ran around and played in the sea. We listened to the song "Just One Day" and we were tired.

"Do you remember hearing this when we were in Jeju?"

"Yes, Duho, it's your favorite song."

"By the way, they have a show near Ayoung. Shall we both go see it?"

"Let's go, I'll come anywhere to walk with you. Shall we tell Yoshi and Yul too?"

"You can ask them, then let's go. Let's go and have fun."

We walked in tandem down the beautiful sandy beach to the shelter.

it is A wonderful spot to unwind. We sat at a place with a beach view and waited for dinner. Soju with bibimbap and samyeopsal is my favorite recipe. We both ate until our stomachs and hearts were full.

"Du Ho, I am grateful to you for today. After a long time, I was happy."

"Don't say it. I will do anything for your happiness.."

"I know du ho.."

"I couldn't come to your birthday Ayoung."

"I don't even remember celebrating one."

We sat on the cold, windy balcony after meals and spoke. This is a day I will never forget.

"Ayeyoung..."

"Hmmm. "

"I have a little gift to give you."

"Oh, Duho, these things are very good.."

"It's not like that, Ayoung, this little thing is for you."

"That little Japanese maple leaves bonsai plant"

"Du ho. Oh, it's so beautiful. Do you remember that I love these?"

"Ayoung, I know everything. I can't forget those things."

"Duho you are my best friend..I am really happy.".

Again I started crying like it was raining. Du Ho was holding my cold hands and looking at me.

"Ayoung, I...don't be angry with me for saying this". I realized that he was stuttering and trying to say something.

"I can't hold this in my mind anymore...I like you Ayoung.".

"It dawned on me when I was in Japan. I like you so much Ayoung"

Both of them were looking at the face. I realized that there was so much love that could not be said in those eyes. He slowly squeezed my face and wiped away the tears. He gave me a warm kiss on my cold lips.

That kiss felt like a heavy weight to me. The two of us were happy for each other's sufferings since our little days.

"So my girl what do you say"

"I like you my fools."

I hugged him tightly.

"Listen Yooung"

"Hmm. Say"

"Shall we tell grandma about this?"

"I can't say now. I'm ashamed, please."

"Okay then, let's say nothing. Now go to sleep and we'll go for a walk tomorrow."

"Then good night to you too, child."

I was really surprised by what happened today. I went to sleep thinking about those things. some things in life happen at times we don't expect. I think it is a stroke of great luck to have someone who loves me as much as I do. After we finished the trip, we came home. It was challenging to love him without knowing grandma. After three days, I came out of the room ready to go to the campus today.

"Halmoni, I will come in the evening. You be careful. With this idiot."

"Ayoung, here's your lunch. Don't eat outside, you'll get sick."

"Oh thank you so much Duho"

I said goodbye to Halmoni and Duho and came out to go to the campus. I walked slowly thinking about Duho's lovely little work.

"Ayoung wait ".When I looked back, Duho came running to me.

"Why are you running? You're still wearing an apron." He hugged me without saying anything.

"I haven't hugged you in two days. I miss you, baby"

"Okay, my baby, come in the evening. I'll come for a walk with you after work."

"Ayoung will be here for a few more days, so is I going to work in a shop?"

"Whatever you want a baby"

"Ok then go carefully now" he kissed my forehead and he said goodbye to me.

"Ayoung, good morning, you didn't even tell me that you two are in love."

"Oh, I'm sorry, girl!."

"Is Duho taking good care of yourself?"

"Yes, Yoshi. He prepared lunch for me"

"OMG ! this boy has already become husband material."

We both laughed at Yoshi's story.

"Yoshi, shall we go see the BTS Seoul show?"

"What are you saying? Tell me. Oh, I didn't hear,"

Yoshi screamed madly.

"If you're going, tell me now."

"Am I going to see Jimin?"

"Yes. Yul, you, me, Duho, let's go and watch the show."

"But Ayoung, the ticket is too expensive. How can we go?"

"Duho's mother gave him money. He is going to watch the show with that."

"Then let's go and have fun."

We both talked and came to the campus. After attending the lessons until evening, I went to work at LEE coffee shop. I worked till 8 pm and when I came out, Duho was there.

"Did you come?"

"Hmm...I want to take my girl to dinner."

I hugged his hand and kissed his face lovingly.

"Then let's go now."

We both had dinner. Both of us were happier than usual.

"Ayoung, the person I looked for before taking care of Halmoni is good, isn't he?"

"Yes, dear! is Yang unnie very good ?"

"I was thinking of continuing to hire her to take care of grandma. she needs to be paid. Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it."

"Oh, I love you so much!!"

After dinner, the two of us walked slowly along the road. My whole heart was filled with Duho's love.

We have returned home quietly, right?

"Hmm. You go in carefully then and go to sleep."

"Why? Aren't you coming? where are you going?"

"Ayoung mom has a program tomorrow. We need to be together. So I will go to mom today."

"Okay, be careful. Don't fight. Go and call me."

"Okay then. You go now. I'll wait for you to go."

I gave him a kiss on the forehead and came inside the house. Grandma was fast asleep when I came. I went to the room and started writing the diary.

"It needs rain to turn a barren place green. It requires happiness to fill a heart with love. Memories must be accumulated in the present in order to grin blissfully in the future."

I fell asleep while writing the diary. Duho was there when I woke up in the morning, but today I felt lonely because I was not at home. He was not at our house for a week. Yang unnie will take care of grandma now so she won't miss any homework. After a while, I got a call from Duho. I answered it lazily.

"Ayoung!! Are you still asleep?"

"Hmm. It is 10:00 p.m. Arrive at the stadium with those two at precisely 5 o'clock. You won't be able to see the show if you don't."

"I will come on time". I was angry with him and cut the call.

"Halmoni! I am going out today with Duho. Yoshi is also coming."

"Ayoung! You have an affair with Duho, don't you?

I also got stuck in the water I was drinking. I stammered and tried to explain it to her.

"You didn't tell me that I wouldn't like it, did you? There's nothing to dislike about Duho. If you're happy, that's all I want."

I didn't know what to say to what Halmoni said. I hugged her and thanked her.

"Okay, enough cuteness, now go on your way."

I happily ran to the room. I felt very happy that everything went well. I quickly got dressed and ran to Yoshi's house.

"Yoshi!!!! Halmoni liked both of us"

"What? today, Ayoung should celebrate this."

"Get ready before we celebrate. We want to go see Jimin and Jhope."

We hugged each other and screamed loudly. I booked a taxi and we both went to the stadium.

"Ayoung!!"

"Why do you like Jhope"

"Yoshi, I liked him for a while. People disliked him. Even though he was depressed, he has overcome it today. I really like his life story."

"Hm. I remember that too"

"There, those two are also in hand. Let's go quickly."
