T ick tock tick tock 

 

Aish it can’t be, right? There’s no way eomma forget what day it is

But if I tell her it will be weird, 

Aish what should I do? 

 

Knock knock 

 

“Yes?” 

 

The door opens and there she is, 

 

Eomma: what are you doing? 

“Uhh,, working on homework”

Eomma: but it’s weekend 

“Uhm well ….” 

 

She leans herself to my study table 

 

Eomma: math? 

“Uhm yeah” 

Eomma: Yeoreum-ah, 

 

I raise my head and meet her eyes 

 

Eomma: it’s your birthday, I didn’t forget

She chuckles, 

 

Eomma: what do want to eat today? I will make seaweed soup later and what about jjajangmyeon?

“Uhmmm” 

Eomma: you always like jjajangmyeon

“Eomma, can we go to ice cream cafe?” 

Eomma: Ice cream? 

 

I nod

 

Eomma: sure, I’ll ask Appa and- 

“Just the two of us” 

Eomma: huh? Why?

“uhmmmm” 

 

Should I tell her, 

 

Eomma: you know honesty is the most important thing in this house 

“Well, uhm”

 

I bite my lips,

 

Eomma: you turn 12 today Yeoreum, please be honest to me and to yourself 

“It’s been awhile since, uhm, since we go out just the two of us” 

“Well you’ve been quite busy lately, uhm, i kind of miss you” 

 

Eomma’s eyes widened, 

Ah great Yeoreum i think she is disappointed at you 

 

Eomma: alright

“Eh?” 

Eomma: let’s leave at 11?

“Oh,, uhm, okay”

Eomma: yha, I have granted your wish, now smile 

 

I chuckle

“Neee~~~” 

 

I pick a T-shirt and shorts, 

White shoes, hmm, should we bring a jacket? 

Well let’s just bring this baseball jacket

 

Eomma: ready? 

“Yes”

 

I walk towards eomma who is waiting at my door, 

And she wraps her right arm around my shoulder, 

 

Eomma: this is going to be fun 

 

Gosh I miss her laugh 

 

As we are heading out, 

Appa: oh, where are you going? 

Eomma: date

Appa: date? 

Eomma: yes, date, me and Yeoreum 

Eomma: are you jealous or something? 

Appa: no :( 

Eomma: we are leaving! Annyeong!!
