“Oh, I have to go our parents are waiting for us,” Jan Lee looks at his watch and glance at the girl.

“Is there a family meeting,” the girl inquired.

“Yes, it’s their wedding anniversary,” he answered, “We have a surprise for them and we’ll be having lunch together,” he notices the girl bowed her head looking at the ground thinking something after hearing his words.

Jan Lee looks at his phone and reads the message from his twin brother.

“Is it him?” the girl asked him, “I have to go,” then she turns her back away from Jan Lee.

“Wait!” he tried to let her stay for a while to offer an invitation but the girl just walks away, “No! I did not have the chance to ask her name, Jim Han what have you done? Only if you could know this...I know you don’t care sometimes, but I know you brother,” Jan Lee said to himself.

He scratches his head while the other hand is holding the phone. He shakes his head while looking at the girl walking away from him. He tried to reach his arm toward her giving her the signal to stay but she just left him. Then the cellphone rang and he found out his twin brother called him.

“Where are you, bro?” said his twin worrying about him, “We have been here an hour waiting for you, come on! Hurry up. We are still looking for that cake. I thought Shin Ki know this one but she didn’t know either.”

“I’m coming bro,” he immediately put his phone in his pocket and starts his motorbike.

While driving, Jan Lee thinks about the girl. He was not mindful anymore of how he was slapped at the coffee shop rather he feels concerned about her. It instilled in his mind the facial expression of the girl on how she was disappointed with his twin brother. He feels how the girl loved his brother. He knew the ticket was expensive and how the girl dressed attractively showing how much she valued that occasion. He thought that she prepares everything and planned ahead of time but his twin brother missed that special moment. He noticed the girl was sad after hearing they are having a family bonding.

“Maybe she missed her family,” thought himself, “you need to explain this to me, Jim Han,” he added then hold on to his break as the red light appears.

“Hey babe, can you wait for just a couple of minutes?” then the girl answered the phone, “Yeah, I’m stuck, it's traffic here, sorry babe, I’ll be there, bye, I love you,” said the guy while his feet steady controlling his bike.

Jan Lee noticed that guy from his side then look back at the signal waiting for the green light to flash. Then he thought, “Good for this guy, he is doing his best to come for that girl,” he then found out the flowers in front of him and a gift bag hanging on his hand grip. As the go signal flashed, Jan Lee keeps an eye on the guy turning on the other side heading toward the park.

At the shop, Jan Lee parks his bike in front of it.

“Oh! There he is,” said Jim Han while Jan Lee dismounts from his bike, “Why you are late bro?” Jim meets him and teased him.

“Yeah,” Jan Lee attempts to talk about the girl he meets at the coffee shop but decided to say it later, “It’s better late than never,” he responded with contempt.

Jim Han noticed the facial expression that he wanted to tell something but shift his attention when their sister Shin Ki pick some cake and asked them.

“Is this mama’s favorite flavor?” Shin Ki points her finger while raising her eyebrow looking at her brothers.

“I think that’s it,” Jim Han responded, “She always buys that one whenever we have a birthday celebration,” he added while putting his finger on his chin.

“No, that is not,” Jan Lee interrupted them and point his finger at the other flavor.

“Which one do you think?” asked Shin Ki.

“That one,” Jan Lee pointed to the strawberry flavor while nodding his head.

“Are you sure?” Jim Han and Shin Ki answered in chorus and laugh.

“Yes,” last year when they celebrated their wedding anniversary papa came from this shop. I saw him give this kind of cake as a gift to mama.

“Alright, that’s it, I think we have the expert here, “Jim Han laughs and tried to teased Jan Lee, “Shin Ki did you buy the other stuff?” he added.

“Yes, but the others we cannot buy it here, we need to go to the other store,” Shin Ki answered.

“Alright, I will be the one to pay that one, and Jan can you make Shin Ki ride with you?” Jim requested.

“I don’t have a helmet for her,” Jan Lee responded and raised his shoulder.

Jim Han points his finger on a bag with a helmet inside of it placed on top of the table, “It’s in there.”

“Ah! I see you already planned this to make Shin Ki ride with me and then where will you go after this?” Jan Lee asked as he crossed his arms between his chest.

“I have a surprise for mama,” Jim smiled.

“Really?” the two answered together for they were surprised that Jim would do such a thing.

“Okay, Shin, how many items we need to buy?” Jan Lee asked her while looking at his wristwatch.

“Only a few items left,” Shin answered as she looks at a piece of paper.

“We need to hurry it’s almost eleven,” Jan Lee approaches the helmet at the corner while Shin picks up the other pieces of stuff they already bought, “Don’t be late bro!” Jan Lee asked Jim after picking up the helmet, “We will wait for you there, we will not start until you came,” said Jan Lee.

“Yes, of course, I’m the one holding the spotlight,” Jim kidding him.

But please don’t be late less than an hour they will be here so hurry up,” said Bum. “Yes, we will be there in ten minutes,” Shin added, “Did they notice what you’re doing there?” Shin further asked Bum. “No!” Bum answered and laughed, “After you walked from here, I told them they will take a walk in the backyard to check on the new plants and clear some weeds.

    “Mama, you know that I don’t like to stay at home. I easily get bored whenever I am not doing anything. I like doing my business outside. I like adventures in exploring new things. I like to work with my friends and colleagues. We can easily make things happen and create new ideas and become productive whenever we meet together. I do not do these things for myself alone. I am doing these for you and my siblings. I want to earn more money because I wanted to buy whatever I like. That is why I am spending my time with people who knew businesses,” Jim Han explained. “Yes, I understand but did your brother knew wherever you go?” their mother replied, “What if something happens to you? How will your brother rescue or help you? Sometimes I called you, but then you are unreachable, so I called Jan. He said you did not come home that night,” she added. “Yeah, I was not able to came back that night because I slept with my friends. I was. Ah...I think...I did. Ah...” Jim Han w

You are old enough. You know already what you’re doing. Please tell her about your plan.” “It doesn’t matter, she will not allow me you know that,” Jim replied. “Hey!

    Ally walks along in the grassy land. The cool wind waves her hair, and the clothing of her dress. She closed her eyes as she smells the fragrance of the wildflowers in the forest. The early sunlight warms her skin as she raises her both arms sideward feeling free and peacefully. The birds are busy chirping at the trees while they feed on their chicks while the others flying thru and fro. In a little, distance, the sounds of a stream can be heard as it flows along the rocks. Ally is happy looking at her surroundings. The sounds of the natures and all the living creatures create a relaxing melody in her ears while she laid down under a big tree. While she looks up at the blue sky as the clouds passes by, suddenly she heard flashing water in a little distance. She got up and, search for the noise that she had heard. She takes away the branches of the shrubs using her hands to see what creates noise in the water. As she continuously searches and looks around, she notices a man standing

    “Look who is here?” said Ally to her brother while brewing her coffee. “What will you cook?” she added. “I will fry eggplant with egg,” Jap replied while washing it. “Please see if the rice is cooked,” he said to his big brother Shim. Ally went to her father’s room bringing a cup of coffee. After knocking on the door, she heard her father answered and told her to come in. She walked slowly as she carried the hot and smoky coffee. When she entered the room, she saw her father looking at the window. She put the coffee on the table and approached him. She sat down next to her father and looked together. Not far from their window, they see some trees and the birds are flying. Her father turned to her and said, “They are good and free. They can do what they want to do. They are free to do things. They only think about their food, where they will land every night. They are free to sing their songs. No one interferes with them and they do wherever they go. No one to

They must talk about it,” said Ally while watching Tessa eating her food. “Ally!” both of them turn to their right and saw Jim approaches their table. Tessa then looked at Ally.

There we will chill and talk," then Jim Han and Nina left the house and got into his car."Do you have any plans to leave like them?" Ally asked him."I do not know.

    "Thanks," Jim Han take the drink and think for a while."Come on, don't be sad. Look, someone is leaving, but someone comes. Nina is there when you don't turn her over.

He thought about holding Ally back to him, but he remembered what he said to Jan Lee that night. Feeling that Jan Lee took Ally away from his hand and cannot do anything at all. The words were already spoken from his mouth, so he could no longer take them back. Despite his weariness, his body led him to sleep, for he was tired of his long journey that day.“Hey, brother. Come on, get up. Mama and papa ask you to join us for our breakfast,” Hea Bum said while knocking on his door.Jim Han suddenly awake.

He had been overwhelmed by his affections to Ally, but when he heard Jim Han's response that night, he felt the assurance of love for her."What are you planning now? Are you still afraid of your brother?" Ally asked as she smiled at him."Hmm, maybe not anymore because I now knew what he really felt for you. I was scared at that time.

So, I waited for the opportunity for him to come back," Jan Lee responded, then he held Ally's left hand.Ally looked up at the tree and said, "You know, I would have been separated from Jim Han for a long time, especially in times when he was gone when I needed him."Then she turned to Jan Lee."I was disappointed because of w
