It's been so long since he have dinner with Mr. Kim. The whole car filled with silence and no one bothered to talk until they reach their destination.
"It's been so long," Mr. Kim said and put his arm around Jeong-wu's shoulder. Jeong-wu don't know how to respond so he just awkwardly smiled at him.
"Order Anything you want"
"Yes... Thank you"
"Can I have a Kimchi Stew?" Mr. Kim said while checking for other food on the menu.
"Do you like some dessert for that?"
"Yes.....2 Songpyeon and.. 2 Yaksik "
"Ok... thank you, you're order will be in a minute," The waiter said.
"I always remember we always come here for dinner. Is the ice cream shop still here?"
"Yeah it's still there, The shop just got renovated" Jeong-wu's answer to Mr. Kim's question about the Ice cream shop near the Restaurant.
"Shoul we go?"
"No! I'm not a kid" Mr. Kim laugh when Jeong-wu pouted like a kid. They just keep laughing and talk .
After a moment the waiter came back with their order. As always Jeong-wu orders Bulgogi, Japchae, and Sundubu-jjigae whenever he eats with Mr. Kim.
"Eat some more," Mr. Kim said while placing the food in front of Jeong-wu.
"You should eat too...."
They eat peacefully and once again there's a silence between them Until Mr. Kim decided to talk.
"How are you?"
"I'm fine how about you?" Jeong-wu asks back.
"I'm also fine" The situation has got a lot more awkward than before. After a few moments, Mr. Kim talks again.
"You know, you look like your mother," Mr. Kim said Making Jeong-wu shocked. He never knew that Mr. Kim know his mother.
"How do you... Know my mother"
"I'm kinda close with your mother before you were born," Mr. Kim said.
"How?"
"Well... It's a long story it started when..... We were in High school." Jeong-wu stops eating his food and focuses on Mr. Kim.
"We used to be in the same class....your mother was like a man back then she always beat all those thugs in our school"
"She used to defend me whenever someone bully me... Until one day She just disappear no one knew where he go."
"Until he went to my house and tell that She's pregnant... That's all I remember"
(Mother said that my father ran away when he found out that She was pregnant.)
"I see......." You can hear the agony in Jeong-wu's voice.
"Come on don't be so down" Mr. Kim tried to cheer him up.
"A smile looks good on you" Jeong-wu just fake his smile to cover his anxiety. When they finish their food Jeong-wu suggested going home.
"I don't feel good" Jeong-wu made up a reason just to be alone.
"Call me if something happens" Mr. Kim dropped him in front of his Apartment Building. Jeong-wu just nodded and head inside.
Mr. Kim are always busy Because of his Company. He only hangs out with Jeong-wu when it's his day off or if there's vacant on his schedule.
When he saw Mr. Kim's car dissapear He walk his way at the Ice cream shop where Mr. Kim mention a while ago.
"Hello....... Are you guys still open?"
"Yes, yes we're still open" An old Lady walk out from a storage ro full of dust.
"Wait let me get rid of this dust" The lady chuckle while Jeong-wu felt a little embarrassed because it's been so long since he come here.
"What flavor?"
"Can I get a container of Chocolate Ice cream,1 Container of Match and 1 Container of Vanilla "
"Is that all? that will be 10,500 krw"
"And Can you add pistachio?"
"Sure don't pay for the pistachio it's on the house"
After he get his ice cream he put the Vanilla and Matcha ice cream at the Refrigerator. He make a ramen and turn on the TV. He always watch J*jutsu K*isen while eating his Ice cream and Ramen.
(What should I do now?)
"Let's just sleep," Jeong-wu said to himself and Dozed off.
*"Do you know how to use this?"
"No..... Can you teach me?"
"Sure... It's easy, try clicking here"*
That is the time when Jeong-wu's mother tries to teach him how to use a computer. Every day Jeong-wu always watches his mother use the computer.
*"Jeong-wu stay here okay?"
"Don't go anywhere without my permission. Don't get involved with someone else"
"Where are you going?"
"I'm gonna buy some food, Don't talk to strangers"
"Okay!"
"That's your mission! I love you"*
That's the last word that his mother tells him. Ever since then he doesn't want to forget those Last Three words. He wanted to his Mom be so Badly.
A wave of loneliness washes over him, the loneliness in those blue eyes. He was deprived of his mother's affection. Ever since his mother disappears, he never pay attention to any of the other kids from the Orphan.
"That dream again" Jeong-wu woke up with tears in his eyes. An air of Melancholy surrounded him.
"It's 3:00 in the f** Morning" He mumbled under his breath.
