20 We meet again.

After some minutes of chasing Yon. Nari and Yon were peacefully walking down the streets. "Say. I have never seen you here before. Did you shift here?" Yon asked without bothering to make eye contact with nari. "Well I used to live here but I shifted to seoul when I was 7. And for now I am here on vacation. And you?" "Oh well technically I wanted to live here but I need to soon leave for the states." "Why?" "My dad stays there so he wanted me to join him and also get some knowledge about his business." "Oh. Mr. Yon must be very rich then." "I wouldn't say that I am filthy rich but my family does pretty decently." "Yeah yeah. every rich person's catchphrase." "I am saying the truth. What about you?" "I am from a poor or not poor background." "Poor or not poor? What do you mean?" "Well I don't even know myself. It's confusing." "Catchphrase of extremely filthy rich people." "Don't copy me" "Or else what?~" "Oh you really don't wanna know the consequences." "Well now I am curious so I think I will take the risk." Yon gave a fling on Nari's forehead and ran away. "Yah!" Nari said while rubbing her forehead but before she could even follow him he ran away, so fast that she could barely see him anymore. "Is he Usain bolt or something?" Nari shook her head at Yon's childish behavior. She was leaving for her home when she spotted a lady dropping her things. Nari ran up to her and helped picking up her stuffs. "Omo. Aren't you that girl?" The lady asked in a friendly tone. Nari looked up to see the lady's face and found out that she was the lady who had lost her son. "Oh. I remember you." The lady smiled at nari. "We meet again. Where are you going?" " I was heading for my home." "So you live around here too. I also live here. Say I didn't get to say thanks to you properly so would you like to join me for tea?" Nari looked at the lady's luggage which was too much for a single lady to carry. "Are you all alone?" Nari asked. "I guess I am." "Then I would love to join you." The lady laughed at Nari's words. The lady's house was really comfy and nice. "What is your name?" The lady asked. "My name is Kim Nari." "Nari? That is a beautiful name." "I don't really think it is." "It really is. Nari means a lily flower which has a very beautiful meaning." "Like?" "Well the meaning really differs with the different types of lilies but the most common meaning is purity and fertility." Nari scoffed in her mind thinking that even her name has a stain just like her life. "Well my name is not really beautiful instead it is somewhat disgusting." "How?" "Well you said my name means purity and fertility. And these two words can never go together because fertility means getting pregnant and you need to have sex to get pregnant, which is not pure at all. But if you are pure then it is an obvious that there won't be any sex meaning no fertility." "What you said is right but-" The lady stopped for awhile as she was blushing because nari was too confident and the lady was flustered as no body especially young girls she had known ever openly said the word 'sex'. They would either supplement by using words like 'this' or 'that' or either expressed it with their actions. "What do you think of childrens?" The lady finally asked. "They are really annoying and noisy." "But don't you think they are pure?" "Pure? Oh please. They are the direct descendants of satan." "They are young so sometimes their actions are thoughtlessly done but a child is really pure. Even if you hit them or yell at them again and again,almost all the time but do one good thing for them and they will forget everything wrong you did to them and they will immediately start to love you again. Animals are also like childrens. That is why both of them are considered pure. Don't you think so?" "I mean you do have a point so I think you are right." "And when there is fertility, there is creation of something pure." "But they aren't pure anymore when they grow up. All of them become selfish and mean" "Well, all of us are victim's of time and situation. We wouldn't have changed if there wasn't situations forcing us to be cold." Nari stayed silent as she knew that the lady had a point. "Quickly drink your tea before it gets cold." Nari nodded to the lady's request. "What is your name?" Nari asked. "My name is baram. Song baram." The lady smiled at nari and nari did the same. Nari and the lady were walking back to nari's house. "Mrs.Song. You didn't really have to walk me back home." "It's alright and it is nothing compared to what you did for me." Both of them reached infront of Nari's house and nari was bidding Mrs. Song goodbye when a luxurious car stopped right infront of them. "Nari-yah! Are you okay? I heard what you did. Are you fine? I know it is all because of me. I am really sorry okay? Mom is really really sorry." "Dami-yah?" Mrs. Song said in a suprised voice. "Baram-ah." Nari's mother replied in an equal suprised tone. "Yah.....We meet again." Song baram said in a friendly tone.
