If you had one word to describe the man you'd love, what would it be?
Long I thought of that answer when I faced distrust in men, personal relationships that went up and down. I know the answer, deep in my heart. But I haven't had a chance to find him. I know not all men are like my father. Mama once said, this is just part of her destiny to meet bad people. If he was alone until now, he just wanted to focus on what could make him happy and find himself. Me and his achievement.
I sat alone on a sofa in Oppa's room when I finished justifying his sleeping position. He misses his wife and children very much, blaming himself. Poor him... He must be a good father and husband. His world was perfect before it was taken from him. How can a patient and kind man who attaches importance to a family like him face loss at once like that.
“Hye-ri..” A word came out of his lips. Even he still dreams of it. I touched her messy hair, tidied it up. Touching his face before pulling it back. This can't be, he's a nobody... But the frown on his eyebrows interrupted his uneasy sleep made me touch him again because I wanted to calm him down. I stroked her hair, she wouldn't know this. He doesn't even remember what he did. I now feel like a woman taking advantage of the opportunity, I even held her delicate hand. Xw*n! Why would I want to touch it...
“You must be very sad... They're in heaven, no one's blaming you. It's accident. You have to move on with your life.” I stroked her hair hoping the nightmares went from her sleep. Slowly he actually fell asleep deeper, his breathing had calmed down.
I looked at her for a while, that kiss, she thought I was someone else. You really have Oppa. Sighing in despair, throwing away my own disreputable feelings. My feelings for him, if it really exists, I don't think it's possible for him to accept. I will just clap one hand and indeed expect the wrong person. It's easier to accept a Leo who's blatantly approaching me.
I gotta go home. It's almost 11 o'clock. Tomorrow he wakes up if he has anything to eat. I checked his fridge, it seems he had some groceries, a little bit he knows simple cooking seems. He's got a slow cooker, I make dakjuk (chinese chicken porridge) just for him, it won't be long. So I took rice, chicken, mushrooms, rice, chives and carrots and started working on them quickly. Put it in the slow cooker and in half an hour it's done.
Leave a note, if he doesn't even remember who brought him home.
‘There's Dakjuk in your slow cooker. You were drunk last night, I brought you home. Yuna is not Yoona’ Even I added a smiling emoticon.
I checked into his room for a bit, saw him fall asleep and leave him now.
Sunday I should have an appointment to see Leo. He had already reminded from morning, I smiled seeing how much of a message he had today. He seems very excited. But I didn't get any messages from Oppa, was he okay. Is he still sleeping till noon like this.
“Ma, I went to watch with Leo.” He once got together with his sealumni college friends who worked at the same hospital.
“Leo. That handsome one? You're dating her?”
“Engga Ma, handover doang.”
“Oh.” Mama wanted to say something but didn't. “He picked you up here? Not that his house is not too far away. Tell to enter aja.”
“Gak is Ma. Ribet, watch the same doang eat really. Abis ate home. Go yes Ma”
“I don't need to go down and ask permission from your Mama?”
“Engga, I told you to go with you.”
“Ga is richly polite. I'm not good, I'm down.” He got down and left me in the car. Ehhh, even if he wants to see Mama. I had to go down as well and accompany him.
“You're ribet Leo.”
“I'm not good to go that way, Mama you don't not know me.” He didn't heed me at all.
“Good afternoon Aunt, how are you.”
“Ohh Leo yes, have not met for a long time.Come sit back...” He was very friendly to talk to Mom everywhere. Until I wait for him. The story of his studies that have been completed now, his work that has remained. Mama seneng. This Leo again wants to show off his CV in front of Mama kanya. He talked to Mama I saw HP, did Oppa send a message. I didn't say thanks or anything. Lest he get sick. I decided to send him a message. ‘Dok, wake up. Know there's porridge in the slow cooker.’
Hmm not read for long. I got pissed.
“Ehh want to walk no, abis ticket nih.” I channeled my frustration to Leo.
“Ohhh yes-yes, Auntie if I same Yuna go first.”
“Iya. Go, be careful, go home not nights.”
At last. Finished also talking about the bases. I went to the Mall did watch, pay the debt has been delivered with Leo. But there I wasn't concerned, remembering last night. Leo chatted I responded with divided concentration. Oppa didn't reply to my message if he was okay, lest he get sick. Should I see him in his apartment.
A message finally came to me. ‘Iya. Thank you for all.’ The answer was short but it was enough to make me smile and not upset anymore.
“Why smiles are unclear.” Leo saw me watching me see my phone coming with me.
“Engga, someone sent a funny video. Yukk enter cinema.” I can finally watch quietly.
