For You
(봄, 사랑, 벚꽃 말고 sequel)
She
was rejected Hiroshi’s offer to accompany her to the place where is Jung Kook
and her promised yesterday. Today is Sunday. The schools are closed, so, Jung
Kook and Ha Neul were decided to go on date today.
“I
just go to your school just like yesterday.” said Ha Neul. Actually, she is not
sure about to take a train by herself, but she won’t bother Hiroshi who looks
very busy today. And finally, she is goes out alone, without Hiroshi, Michiko,
Aunt Mina or Uncle Jung. Yeah, alone, just by herself, in this country which is
totally new for her. She goes 2 hours earlier than their promise, because she
know that she needs a lot of time to get there, although the distance from
Uncle Jung’s house and their promised place just around 10 km…
She
was seen Hiroshi when he is buy the tickets yesterday. He just clicked few
buttons and then the tickets were sliding out. But what is all this weird
character?! It’s not just hiragana and katakana, but there’s a kanji too!!
Ha
Neul opens her dictionary. While the ticket-machine in her right side is
already used by around 30 persons, since 20 minutes ago, she is still struggles
with the machine in front of her and the dictionary in her hand. After another
20 minutes passed, she got the ticket.
Hiroshi
has told her that she have to get off at the 2nd station. She does
it easily, and runs so fast to Higashi’s front gate. But Jung Kook is already
there.
“Sorry,
did you wait so long??” asked Ha Neul. She is still tries to catches her
breath.
“No.
Are you run from the station?” asked Jung Kook. Ha Neul nods her head. She
doesn’t have any energy to open her mouth.
“You
shouldn’t do that. Where is Hiroshi?” asked Jung Kook when he isn’t seeing
Hiroshi behind Ha Neul’s back.
“…
I… went here… by… myself…”
“Really?!”
Jung Kook pushes Ha Neul down on the bench.
“Yeah…
you know it’s so difficult to me to buy a ticket. It was takes 40 minutes
alone.” said Ha Neul. Jung Kook surprised.
“I
think it just took a minute to buy them…”
“But,
I can’t read the characters after all!!” Jung Kook laughs when he heard Ha
Neul’s replied.
“We
just studied hiragana and katakana at school…” Ha Neul mumbled.
“It’s
okay. You did a good job.” Jung Kook strokes Ha Neul’s hair.
“Ah
yeah… how long did you were wait for me?” asked Ha Neul.
“Well… maybe…
an hour?”
“What!!!
Sorry!”
^_^
It’s
true. It just took a minute to buy 2 tickets. Meanwhile she used 40 minutes
just to buy a ticket. At this time, Ha Neul admits that Jung Kook’s Japanese is
better than her. At least Jung Kook looks dependable. Well, she just let Jung
Kook guide her this time.
“Look.
This is easy, right?” asked Jung Kook when the tickets are sliding down. Ha
Neul just laughs plainly.
“Yeah,
it’s easy for you. You can read all of these, but I’m not!”
After
bought the tickets, they ride the train up.
“Well,
where will we go?” asked Ha Neul.
^_^
They
enjoyed their date. They went to Akihabara, Ginza, Ometesando, Ebisu and
Kichijoji.
“Actually,
we have to visit here at summer…” said Jung Kook when they walking at
Kichijoji.
“But
we don’t have a time until summer. We have to back in a week.”
“It’s
okay. It’s beautiful although this is autumn.” Ha Neul console her disappointed
boyfriend.
They
arrived at Inokashira Park’s pond.
“You
know, they said that couples who take a swan boat ride together in Inokashira
Park's pond are doomed to break up.” said Jung Kook.
“Do
you believe it?” asked Ha Neul.
“Well,
of course I don’t. But although it is a mythology, I won’t ride it with you.
Well I won’t break up with you…”
“Stop
it. You are curling my fingers, because of your cheesy words!!!”
“Okay,
okay.” Jung Kook glances at his wristwatch.
“We
have to book the tickets now.”
“Oh~~~
I want to stay at Japan longer~~~”
^_^
“We
have to go back to South Korean 2 days later…” said Ha Neul. They have booked 2
tickets several days ago.
“You
look sad. Why?” asked Jung Kook.
“Well,
Japan is beautiful. I don’t have much opportunity to explore Japan…” Ha Neul
sullen.
“You
must come here once again with Ji Min next time…”
“Well,
Ji Min is difficult person to be persuaded…”
…
“You didn’t
visits my dorm yet, right?” asked Jung Kook. Ha Neul shakes her head.
“Yeah,
let me take you there.” Jung Kook’s dorm is not far from Higashi. They don’t
have to take the train.
“I
like it when spring. Cherry blossoms are everywhere.”
“Unfortunately
this is autumn right now…”
“It’s
okay, momiji leaves aren’t bad.”
Just
take 10 minutes for walking from Higashi to Jung Kook’s dorm.
“We’re
arrived.”
“I
lived at 6th floor with 2 other students. I’ll introduce you to
them.” They take a lift to 6th floor.
“I’m
home.” Jung Kook takes off his shoes.
“Is
that Jung Kook?” a boy answered from inside.
“Wow
Akira-kun, you ate 5 cups of ramen again!” Jung Kook shouts out loud when he
sees the cups of ramen everywhere.
“Well,
Akai-kun didn’t cook today… I was starving.” Akira made an excuse.
“Okay,
I’ll cook tomorrow for the last time. By the way, where is Akai-kun?” asked
Jung Kook.
“He’s
at his room.”
“Can
you go and call him. I bring someone today…” said Jung Kook.
“Who’s
that?” asked Akira.
“…Hm…a
girl…”
“Jung
Kook, why didn’t you tell me, before?! Dorm is so messy!!!” Akira picks the
cups up and cleaning the dorm for nothing.
“I’ll
call Akai-kun and make a cup of tea for her. By the way, did she have a
Japanese tea before?” asked Akira.
“That’s
good idea. She didn’t taste it before. Han, come in.”
While
Akira calls Akai and makes a cup of tea for Ha Neul, Jung Kook put his cloak on
his room. Ha Neul looking around. Akira was right. The dorm is messy. Maybe she
can help a bit to organized the dorm for the next time.
“Well,
Han. This is Tsujimoto Akira and Karuizawa Akai. They are my dorm-mates. And
Akira-kun, Akai-kun, this is my friend, Park Ha Neul.” Jung Kook introduced
them. Tsujimoto Akira is a cute-looking boy. He is shorter than Jung Kook. His
hair is light reddish-brown color. Ha Neul likes his hair. Karuizawa Akai is a
good-looking boy. He is taller than Jung Kook. He has a black colored hair.
They are just like boys who are came out from manga.
“…Your
friend? I think she is your girlfriend.” said Akai.
“Okay,
she is my girlfriend.”
“How
lucky are you. You have such pretty and cute girlfriend.” Akira smiles at Ha
Neul.
“Don’t
flirt, please! You have Youka-chan already.” Jung Kook warned.
“I
didn’t flirt at her!!!”
“Look,
I’m the one who’s single here, so stop it!!” said Akai.
“Well,
you have to propose to Mitsuko-chan sooner or later.”
“What
do you say!!!!” Oh, boys talk. Ha Neul would never know about their world. No
matter how hard she tries to know about it.
“Em… Miss Ha
Neul, you didn’t taste Japanese tea yet, right?” asked Akai. Ha Neul shakes her
head.
“Taste
it. You know, Jung Kook almost spitted it out at the first.” said Akira.
“Taste
it, and let me tell you one more time. It’s so bitter.” said Jung Kook. Ha Neul
take a sip. The 3 of them observe her. But her expression didn’t change.
“…”
“Not
bad.”
“What!!!!!!!”
The 3 of them shouted together.
“Okay
Han, I admitted that you’re good at holding in something like this…”
They’re
playing together at the dorm.
“Don’t
you think Miss Ha Neul is felt shy around us?” asked Akai. Well, he’s wrong.
She is lived with Ji Min around 13 years just two of them. Jung Kook goes to Ha
Neul house often too. And it makes her not shy at all.
“Well,
I’ll call Youka-chan.” Akira wants to calls his girlfriend, but Jung Kook holds
him.
“You
don’t have to. By the way, we’ll leave in 10 minutes.”
“But
Jung Kook. It's 7 p.m. Where will you take her?” asked Akira.
“Well,
there’s one place remaining…”
Ha
Neul lift her head. The momiji leaves are beautiful, really. She wants to stay
longer. Aunt Mika is good at cooking, so she always makes a food for Ha Neul
whenever Ha Neul is hungry. Uncle Jung has a beautiful garden. Ha Neul likes to
stay at the garden until nightfall. Hiroshi is kind boy. He likes to takes Ha
Neul wherever Ha Neul wants. Michiko is cute little girl. Ha Neul likes her
very much. Akai and Akira are good friends. But unfortunately, Ha Neul must
back the day after tomorrow…
“Where
will we go?” asked Ha Neul.
“You’ll
know later. I bet you must be like it.”
They
bought the train tickets, precisely Jung Kook who’s bought it.
“Do
you want to hear something?” asked Jung Kook when they’re sitting on the train.
“What?”
“You
know, Tokyo is big. But many Tokyo couples live at great distances from each
other. They often meet at train hubs such as Shibuya, Shinjuku and Ikebukuro.
Tokyoites may work late and trains stop running relatively early. It's
practical to meet where you can both catch a train home.” Jung Kook explained.
Ha Neul hear him seriously.
“That’s
romantic.”
“When
couples have more time, such as Sunday afternoons, they head for Tokyo's many
popular date spots. And we have visited them already.”
“Really?!
Wow, amazing!! How did you know about such things?” asked Ha Neul.
“Actually,
Akira told me before we went on dates…”
“When
you explained all of it, you look like a tour’s guide. So, where will we go
after this, Mr.?” asked Ha Neul.
“Well,
you know it when you arrived.”
“Here we are.
We arrived at Odaiba. Odaiba is a large artificial island in Tokyo Bay that
looks as if it was constructed specifically for dating. It has a great view of
Tokyo. Odaiba's beach boardwalk is one of the city's only accessible
waterfronts. Odaiba is packed with restaurants, shopping, game centers, movie
theaters and attractions. Exactly the type of things young Tokyo couples like
to do on a date.” Jung Kook explained.
“Turn around
girl, and you’ll see something amazing.” asked Jung Kook.
“Wow!!! It’s
Ferris Wheels!!!!”
“We’ll ride it
together, while we’re here…”
“Really?!
Let’s go!!!” Ha Neul grabbed Jung Kook and drags him along excitedly.
“Wow, it’s
high!!”
“It’s 115
meter tall Ferris Wheels. You can watch a fireworks when summer up here. I have
ridden this with Akira and Akai 2 times, when we have holidays. Although
they’re Tokyoites, they’re still excited when we rode it.”
“It must be
weird when the other are saw you three took the same wheel.” said Ha Neul.
“Well, it not
weird again, because I riding it with my girlfriend now…”
“Okay, okay,
you win. Jun Hoe and Ye In must be happy if they’re riding this together…”
“What do you
said?”
“Oh right. I
didn’t say to you. Ye In and Jun Hoe are in special relationship.”
“Really?!
Should we buy them a souvenir too? Like ours.”
“That’s a good
idea!”
After they
came down from Ferris Wheels, they’re going eat and buy a souvenir for Ji Min,
Ye In, Jun Hoe and others.
“We
have to home.” Jung Kook had said that Japan’s trains stop running relatively
early. So they have to catch the last train or they should go home by taxi that
will expend their money.
^_^
Aunt
Mika, Uncle Jung, Hiroshi, Michiko, Akai and Akira take Jung Kook and Ha Neul
to the airport.
“Okay,
say good bye to Hana-chan.” said Aunt Mika to Michiko. Well, Michiko called Ha
Neul as Hana.
“You
have to come back here with your brother okay? I didn’t meet him before.” said
Michiko. Ha Neul nods.
“Jung
Kook, you have our email address already. Don’t forget to send an email, at
least one email/week.” Akira reminded him.
“Okay.”
A
flight to Incheon has been announced. They have to go.
“Well,
see them for the last time before we go.” said Jung Kook. Ha Neul turns her
head and waves her hand.
“See
you later!!!”
“We
have to go now.”
10
days in Japan. They have created new memories. They have new friends and new
family. By the way, it’s time to say good bye…
Good bye… Japan…
^_^
