Time passes so quickly

"Kim Eun Soo, may I ask you for a favor?

I said to Eun Soo.

"what kind of help esme? replied Eun Soo.

We were chatting in class, and besides, there was no teacher here.

"I want to learn Korean" I said.

At least Eun Soo can speak English even though he is always assisted by translations on the internet.

"Okay fine, I'll help you but I don't always speak English and understand what you mean esme" Eun Soo started to complain because she was so tired of having to go back and forth translating what I said in English.

Finally Eun Soo called Haikal.

"Haikal, you can help Esme right? I can't speak English anymore" Eun Soo complained to Haikal.

"But you're good at English, Eun Soo," said Haikal.

This cold man turns out to be able to chat like the others, but why last night he was just silent and answered as needed when I asked.

You cold-hearted human!

"Haikal take Esme to the bookstore, and choose her the best Korean language dictionary there. I leave it to you, you guys were once from the same country"

"What has that got to do with it?"

"Yes it's up to you, and esme I apologize to you not that I don't want to help you but you have to find someone who can really help you. Haikal please translate this I'm tired of thinking about English vocabulary"

Haikal was confused and finally translated to me what Eun Soo said.

"I'll wait after school," said Haikal to me.

I just nodded.

"Thank you" I said.

After school,

"Where are we going to buy the book?" I asked him.

"You're used to taking private cars, if you take the bus today, it's not a problem, right?" He said and ignored my first question.

"Yeah, it's okay" I replied.

We took the bus to go to the bookstore.

Inside the bus, the situation was very crowded, there were empty seats left there.

"You sit there, let me stand" Haikal told me to sit down.

"Put your bag down so I can hold it" I said to Haikal. Because I know it's very heavy when carried standing.

He gave me his bag.

My phone rings, I see my older brother texting me.

After replying, I closed my phone, then turned it off.

I know big brother will be excited himself after finding out that I'm with Haikal.

"Who?" he asked me.

"Hmmm?"

"Sorry I was rude"

"Ah it's okay, that was my older brother"

"Oh... your big brother doesn't know you went to the bookstore with me?"

"He just found out"

"Isn't it okay if I tell him I'm going to the bookstore with you?" Ask me one more time.

"No problem, but maybe he will talk about it with my brother hehe"

We both laughed for a moment.

For the first time I saw him laugh!

It turned out that sweet!

I looked away again, and we fell silent again.

----

I'm selecting a very popular dictionary book here.

"What do you think is the best and easiest to understand dictionary?" I asked Haikal.

"Why don't you just go to the tutoring place?"

"I don't know." I answered simply.

"What's the best?" I asked again.

"This, I think is the best I've ever seen in one of the adverts in the newspaper"

"Why, thank you"

After walking around, I finally bought only 2 dictionary books.

"You don't want to buy a book?"

"No," he answered shortly.

"After this we have to buy food and drink, you must be hungry" I said, we were in front of the cashier to pay for these books.

"Thank you" I said to the cashier in Korean.

We exited the bookstore and then looked for something to eat.

"What do you want to order? Just order so I can treat this time"

"Yes, it's your duty," he replied curtly.

"Hmm yes I will pay for it" I said.

"Ajhumaa.. I want to order kimchi and toppoki, what do you want to eat?" Haikal said.

"Just Toppoki, I'm in the mood for something spicy"

"We ordered 2 toppoki and one kimchi hmm... one more rice"

"You ate toppoki, kimchi and rice?"

"Yeah it tastes really good you should try it"

"Not!"

I restarted my cell phone.

There is a message from Brother and Eun Soo.

Then I tried to contact my father to ask if he could pick me up or not.

"Haikal is it okay if you go home alone? Or do you want to go home with me? Coincidentally, my father will pick you up"

"No, I'll just take the bus home"

"Okay"

After 30 minutes of eating, I waited for dad at the bookstore.

"You go home first Haikal, I will wait for my father in a moment"

"I will wait for you here until your father comes"

Not long after my dad's car came, dad just opened his car window.

"I'm going home first, thank you very much Haikal" I thanked him then went inside

Haikal greeted my father then smiled, father just nodded and smiled back.

"You didn't take your friend home with Esme?" Ask my father.

"I invited him but he didn't want to"

"Pretty handsome, is he smart in school?"

"Dad... Hmm he's the smartest student in my class"

"Hehe dad just kidding honey"

We are on our way home.

----

Time doesn't seem to go by so fast, like I do here.

Korea, is a place I didn't even think of in my head. It's like imagining that I'm going to live here.

There are many people out there who make Korea their dream place, but for me the most beautiful dream city is Switzerland! I want to go there!

Switzerland being the country I've always dreamed of, doesn't mean I don't like Korea. I really like Korea, especially here there is a KPop boy group figure that I like.

This morning I went downstairs to start breakfast with my family. Finally big brother lives here with us.

"What do you want for breakfast, Esme?" Mother asked me.

"Pineapple bread and jam" I replied.

"If you are Binan, what kind of jam do you want?" Mom asked my older brother

"I can do it myself," my brother answered simply.

Oh my God, how do you get those two together!!!

Father came over to us, mother already knew what father wanted for breakfast. He is not much different from his older brother in that he likes chocolate jam.

"Mom and dad can't take you to Esme school" Dad said to me.

"It doesn't matter, after all there is still an older brother, right?"

"No, I'm busy. You're leaving. Just take the bus."

We touched each other's feet.

"Don't fight it's still early!" Dad said.

Habits Every breakfast that my father always does is his right hand holding breakfast and his left hand holding the cellphone.

"How was your Korean lesson esme?" Mother asked me.

"Very good, I like it" I replied very happily.

In the end I took Korean lessons, my mother registered with one of the tutoring places here.

"This morning grandma called, she said when do you have time to chat with them?"

"I've been very busy lately, but I'll take the weekends to chat with grandma"

It's been a long time we haven't talked to each other with grandma and grandpa, last month we talked about how my school here is fun and how my friends are here.Ok

Ahh grandma, grandpa I miss you guys!!
