to her daughter, as the bell rang. "Neh omma." Soon Ae
said, as she came out from her room, closing the door
behind her. She walked down the long hallway of their
spacious home, and to her right, as the door was opened
and a group of her friends stood there, smiling, dressed
in their best gowns and suits. "Happy Birthday Soon Ae!"
They said happily, she smiled back, thanking them,
and invited them inside. "Wah unni. You look so pretty."
Her friend ShinBi complimented her on her flowy,
glittering light pink gown. "Thanks dongseng, you look
very pretty also." Soon Ae told her, and ShinBi thanked
her. She and her group of friends who had arrived
early, walked out to the backyard patio, where
harpists were playing and she invited them to start
eating. They went over to the buffet table and
ate quiche, cocktail meatballs, and dipped strawberries
into the foundue fountain, and drank punch from
the punch fountain. They all talked, mingling, and
walked around, admiring the clear water of the pool,
as lights reflected from it. The doorbell rang, and
Soon Ae excused herself, as she greeted more of her
guests. They all greeted her happy birthday and
she placed the gifts they had given her on the
table for the gifts, and walked out onto the backyard
patio with them, as they all talked, mingled and
danced. Soon the party was coming to a close.
One of the servers came out, pushing a small table
cart with her birthday cake on it, a three tiered
white chocolate rasberry truffle cheesecake, with
eighteen candles on the top. Everyone started to sing.
"Sangil chuka hamnida, Sangil Chuka hamnida. Sarang
haneun, Yi Soon Ae, sangil chuka hamnida." They sang
and she blew out the candles, as everyone clapped. Then
they cut the cake and she served her guests as she
ate some as well. After the last person had left,
she closed the door, and cleaned up, helping the
servers. Soon it was almost midnight, as the last of
the leftover cups and plates were thrown away. But
Soon Ae, still stood outside on the patio, slightly
chilly in the night air. Her mom called to her.
"Soon Ae dear, you should come inside now." She told
her. "Neh omma. Just a few more minutes. I'l be right
in." Soon Ae told her. Her mom nodded and went back
inside the house. She stood outside, with her arms
wrapped around herself, staring out at the dark sky,
feeling slightly dissapointed that a very close friend
of hers couldn't make it. "He said he would be here."
She said to herself, softly. "But I am here." A male
voice said behind her. Soon Ae turned around, surprised.
"Kyung Jae oppa." She said, surprised. Her best guy
friend stood there, in a suit, holding a red carnation.
He handed it to her. "Happy Birthday Soon Ae." He
said with a smile. "Komawo oppa." She said, smiling
back, and embracing her friend warmly. Then she pulled
away from him, whacking him on the arm lightly.
"Why are you so late?" She asked him. He rubbed his
arm. "Ow. You still hit like a guy." He said. She
pouted at this. "Oppa." She said, whining slightly
wanting to know. "What? Oh yeah. I wanted to tell you
something, in private." He told her. She raised an
eyebrow at this. "What is it?" She asked him. He leaned
on the glass railing, that was surrounding her
backyard, which overlooked the city. Then he glanced
back at her. "Well, first of, how are you? Are you
seeing anyone?" He asked her. She raised an eyebrow
again. "No. ShinBi and Yuli are though." She said.
"Oh, so you don't like anyone at your school?" He
asked her. She shook her head, wondering where this
was going. "But you do like someone?" He asked her.
She hesitated. "Y-Yeh. Weh oppa?" She asked him.
He exhaled looking out at the city, then glancing back
at her again. "Soon Ae, I like you." He said, much to
her surprise. He went on. "I know, maybe I never
really showed it, and I'm sorry. Maybe I should have
been more obvious. But I really like you. Ever since
eight grade, till now, that we're seniors and
graduating, I still like you. And I really don't know
if you feel the same way, since you've been nice to me,
but it seems like you're nice to almost everyone. But
I just wanted to let you know that." He said.
She was shocked. "Oppa, I..I like you too. Ever since
8th grade, till now, it's still you. That's why I
haven't dated anyone these past four years almost."
She explained, a huge burdend being lifted off of her,
as she finally admitted her feelings. He glanced
at her, then took off his jacket, as he just wore
his white dress shirt, and tie, draping it over her,
seeing that she was cold. He pulled her close to him,
leaning in, his face inching closer to hers. She
inhaled sharply, and closed her eyes, until his lips
met her own, softly. After a few seconds they broke apart
smiling. She stood in front of him as they stood near
the glass railings, his arms around her, with his jacket
still around her, as they looked out at the city,
its lights shining brightly.
