"I have always wanted to travel Asia but now, I'm jealous!" Those were my brother's complaints when I got to talk to him over the phone.

Marvin, who is younger than me by two years, was stuck with our parents back home. The reason for this is he is still not finish with his schooling and is on his last year as a graduating student in one of the prestigious universities in the Philippines.

He is a Computer Science student and would often see him engrossed either with his laptop or our computer desktop. Define, passionate in his terms.

A cold gust of wind blew in my direction and I struggled to keep my drafted music sheets under my legs for them not to be blown away.

I was seated here in the green grass along Yeouido Hangang Park trying to find the perfect rhythm for the recent song that I have composed. I also have brought my guitar with me and I have been enjoying the nature for quite some time now.

"Hey, andyan ka pa?" Marvin asked in our native language that is Filipino. His voice sounded small from afar as I was chasing the pieces of music sheets that had been blown away.

(Translation: Still there?)

One child about seven to nine years old was able to grab a piece and I smiled at him. Stunned by my presence, he handed it to me and I patted his head in gratitude.

I was now on the run for the next paper when it reached the smooth legs of a woman who was in her skirt and sitting comfortably at the bench not far from where I was awhile ago.

I gulped and watched her removed the music sheet that pinned on her legs and met my eyes.

And right at that moment, I felt as if we connected. There is something in this lady's eyes that made me mesmerized.

"annyeong! igeos-i dangsin geos-ibnikka?" The Korean lady asked in her soft voice and I nodded. She stood up and handed it to me while here I am, looking like a boy who was lost in the park.

(Translation: Hi! Is this yours?)

"gamsahabnida!" I mustered to say and she smiled at me. Suddenly, I forgot how to breathe.

(Translation: Thank you!)

The awkward silence was broken when her name was called by her friend, "Chun Kyung-Mi!"

As soon as she twirled around, I hurried out of the way and returned to my place earlier. I watched her smiled and laughed with her friend.

Obviously, she had forgotten about me instantly. She and her friend strolled down the park and into the car that was waiting for them.

Suddenly, I was hoping to see her again.

It is possible, right?

It was the weekend and Aera-Chu had been persuading me to go with her to the mall today.

And even if I wasn't in the mood to go to the mall, I still went with her. She has been my best friend since diaper days and I know that even if I told her I wouldn't go, she will still be persistent with it.

As Aera-Chu was driving us to Lotte Mall, the car's tires suddenly went flat. She admitted that she failed to check it before she brought it with us. As a punishment, she was the one who called for a mechanic or someone who will fix the tires.

Luckily, we were along the Yeouido Hangang Park and we can rest at one of the benches while we wait. I breathed in the clean fresh air as soon as I stepped out of her car.

If there is one thing I love about parks, it is the serenity and comfort the nature brings. Just seeing greenery and the quiet stream  already has a calming effect on me.

I spotted a bench just a few meters away from the stream and decided to go for it.

Aera-Chu was busy talking with the guy who has arrived  shortly after fifteen minutes. She cannot leave the car alone with the guy. She has trust issues already which I cannot blame her. She was fooled once.

Moments after I sat, a cold gust of wind blew to my face and I closed my eyes as I took in the feeling of peace and freedom.

I have long been thinking of going away from home. The bodyguards have been so strict and my parents are just too overbearing lately.

Suddenly, I felt a piece of paper stuck to my legs and I frowned thinking what is it doing there. I was just wearing my black skirt since I have always love autumn season. I love the weather and the feeling of wind under my skin.

Curiously, I bent over and removed it gently, careful not to tear it nor get it crumpled. As my eyes browsed the page, I realized that it is a music sheet.

Notes and staff were scribbled on it. Words were placed neatly and I love the effort put into it. Somehow, I wished to hear the song from the composer himself. Or was it her?

Then, I noticed a guy with tousled hair slouched behind me. For a moment, I thought he was a creep but when I saw him holding a paper similar to what I have right now, I realized that it came from him.

I  looked at him and said, "annyeong! igeos-i dangsin geos-ibnikka?" When he nodded, I handed it to him.

(Translation: Hi! Is this yours?)

"gamsahabnida!" He said and I smiled.

(Translation: Thank you!)

I was about to say more but my attention was caught by Aera-Chu.

"Chun Kyung-Mi!" I turned around to her at the sound of her name. I saw her panting as she ran up to me.  I laughed at the sight of her. "wae cha-eseo neomu meolli anj-aya habnikka? yeogieseo nae mal-eul deul-eul su eobs-eo!"

(Translation: Why do have to sit too far from the car? You cannot hear me from here!)

"jeonghwaghi" I teased her and she shot me a glare.

(Translation: Exactly!)

Still laughing, I yanked her back into the car. We thanked the guy and soon was driving to Lotte Mall.

I was racking my head where had I seen the guy and why does he looked so familiar. Then, it dawned on me.

"Oh, shit!" I exclaimed and Aera-Chu stepped on the brake, startled.

He was the guy I saw at the bridge last time!
