“Hey! Bro, what is your plan? How long will you think about it?” Jim Han asked Jan Lee while putting some stuff in his bag.
“What kind of plan did you ask?” he asked awfully. He then stops what he does on his laptop.
“Angela! Is it okay for you to stare at her picture the whole time? Or do you want to meet her in person? Come on, bro! She is waiting for you. That is why she gives you her number,” Jim Han replied as he paused for a moment.
“I have a plan but, I am afraid she would not like me,” Jan Lee replied and scratch his head.
“Bro! You do not need to plan. You make a try. And take the first move. That is all. You have this advantage. This girl likes you! Do you want other guys to take over instead of you? Angela shares with me some good-looking guys courting her, but they are busted. She found something from you. Really! You are unique. I am far different from you. You know it well,” Jim smiled and patted his shoulder.
“Well! Let us see.
Jim Han excitedly leaves the house. He waved his hands to his parents and siblings saying goodbye to them. Jim quickly loaded the portable gas stove, ice chest, and camping tent in his car. Then, he drove going to the station where Nina waits for him. “Do you have a walk too?” Winze asks Jan Lee when she notices him standing at the door while looking at his twin leaving. “No! I rather stay in the house. It is safer. I can do more whenever I am here,” he replied. He gets a mug and brewed his own coffee. “Hmm, so tasty coffee,” said Chou Yen after taking a sip. “Of course! I am the one brewing it,” Winze replied and smiled at him. In a moment, Jan Lee stared at his parents and asked an interesting question to his father. “Papa, how did you court mama when you are still young?” His father paused for a while. It was his first-time hearing from his son asking that kind of question. He stops stirring his coffee, takes a glance at his wife, a
“How many buckets of water are we going to need?” Hea Bum asked while looking at the plants with his hands in the back of his head. “Ten would be enough,” said Jan Lee while holding the rope. “What? Grht! That is so tiring,” he shook his head with a downed shoulder. “Do not worry, I will be the one to carry it. All you have to do is to sprinkle the water into the plants,” Jan Lee responded. “Uh! That would be nice. I agree with that,” Hea Bum replied while holding the sprinkler, giving him a thumbs up. “Hey! How is Angela? Did she send you a message?” he asked while grinning at Jan Lee. “What? I do not know. Of course, she would be in her house right now or with other friends,” Jan Lee answered while raising his shoulders. “Hmm! Anyway, we will know it. If you do not send her a message, then maybe she will call you. Hey! Jan Lee, are you numb? I think she would call you that. Hah ha! ha!” then he acts calling teasing him. “Just kidding
“Yeah! I feel you have changed right now. I noticed you have become talkative, hah ha! ha! At first, I was having a hard time getting your attention, but now, you are the one volunteering to reach out. By the way, thanks for giving me your time. I really appreciate it. You know what, it is boring here sometimes. I am tired of doing nothing. I wanted something to take away my boredom. But thanks to my pet Cathy for being with me always,” told Angela. “Cathy? Is that a dog, a cat, or a bird?” Jan Lee asked. “A cat,” said Angela while caressing the head of her cat. “Well, good that you have Cathy. If she had not been there, what would you do?” Jan Lee curiously asked her. “I do not know. Maybe, meet some friends and having fun with them. But I am not used to it. It is easy for me to think of going home immediately whenever I go somewhere,” she replied. “What? Hah ha! ha! It seems that I am not the only one possessing that character. I think I fou
“Hey! Brother. Open up. It’s eight in the morning,” said Hea Bum knocking at the door waking Jan Lee. “Grht! Ah!!! what bro?” Jan Lee responds as he yawned and stretched his arms. “Open up! I wanted to show you something,” said Hea Bum while carrying something. “Okay! Wait for a second,” Jan Lee answered as he gets up from his bed. After opening the door, Hea Bum shows something from his hand, “Do you know this one? Mama told me to bring this to the shop for repair. Can you accompany me in the town?” “Ah! Yeah sure. Awesome, that is a Polaroid camera. Where did she get that?” Jan Lee asked and took the camera from Hea Bum’s hand. “It is a gift from her friend, but there is something to repair on it. So, she told me this morning that we find a shop that can repair this one. But hey! They are in the kitchen waiting for us. Come on,” said Hea Bum giving Jan Lee a gesture to follow him. “Yeah! Okay, wait, I need to put this camera
“Your brother is waiting for you,” said Angela pointing to Hea Bum standing in front of the shop. “I will stop and stand in the middle of this street if you are not going to tell me,” Jan Lee responded and attempts to stay in the midst waiting for her response. Angela feels worried and she realizes that he is serious and eager to know what she had said a while ago so she replied, “You were asleep last night and forgot to answer my question when I asked what is your plan about us. That is why I asked you again this time.” “Ah! Now I know. I see. ...I am thinking…You will know it when we meet again,” Jan Lee answered while walking backward going to his motorbike where Hea Bum waits. “I will remember what you say. I will wait for your call,” she replied while gesturing with her hand. Jan Lee smiled, waved his hand, and together with Hea Bum rode on the bike. Angela waved her hand as well and she watches them rode away. Then one of the employees g
“Yes! Of course, I will not let you go,” said Angela with her arms around Jan Lee’s waist. Then she turns her head to Jan Lee and opens their visors so she can freely look into his eyes. In her excitement, she raises her arms and lifts them up in the air. “Wow! This is so good. I like this. Hope we can do this again,” she said and embraced Jan Lee. Jan Lee smile and feeling electrified. He does not make any reaction. But somewhat silent and thinks about his next move. While they stop as the red light signaled, Jan Lee notices the guy he saw months ago. The guy who rode his bike with flowers in his front and a gift hanged in his hand grip. He was calling a girl over his phone at that moment. When Jan Lee saw him that time, the guy was not carrying gifts and flowers anymore because the girl was in his back seat riding with him. Jan Lee shook his head and smiled. “Wow! What a beautiful incident. Good for you, dude. You did it,” he said to himself. After minutes,
“I am happy you wore the gloves I had given to you. Thanks for valuing it,” said Angela and bite her barbecue. “Yes, I like it, and it is useful to me when I drive. My mother always asked me to buy something in the town, so I always wore your gloves,” Jan Lee answered. “That is nice. You know what, it has been a long time that I did this again. Thanks to you,” Angela turn her eyes to Jan Lee. “Thanks for what?” he asked and looked at her. “Thanks for letting me here. Sometimes, it is very lonely in the house. If without you, I would not be here. This drink is so cold and refreshing,” then she put the can beside her and bite her barbecue. “Yeah, no problem. Do not worry about it, as long as I can. I am here in your side always.” Jan Lee responded and blinked at her. “But hey! This place is getting crisp in here. Did you feel it?” “Yeah, I feel it. It is getting more exciting, right?” Angela bites her lips. “Yeah! Really, but hey
Jan Lee took Angela to her house. When he is about to leave, Angela holds his left arm. “Thanks for the jacket and the ride… I will never forget this moment… I will never forget that place...Hmm, you are the most unique person I had ever meet in my life…I hope you will never change,” said Angela and smiled at him. “You're welcome, you can call me anytime,” Jan Lee answered. “So! I got to go.” “Yeah! Please, be careful. Goodbye,” tell Angela and waved her hand at him. When Angela entered her room, her mother is there hugging Cathy on her bed. “Oh no! Sorry, Cathy. I was visiting the mother of Bernie. We are from the hospital. That is why I came home late,” then she walked forward to her cat, embraced her, and stroked its long orange hair. “Hmm, it seems Cathy had a rival right now,” her mother said, meaning something to Angela. “Cathy, I have to leave you now your mother is here,” she said and grinned at her and leave the room.
