A Day In Seoul
Incheon Airport, 08 October 2013 10:30
A voice woke me, the noise of the machine started slower made me realize that I've arrived at my destination. Yap ..., this beautiful place. Who would not want to visit? a place that has always longed for about three years. So much fun that I could come back here.
Many things that I miss from this place, especially the spots witch look cute in cherry season. But unfortunately I came when the city is drenched. I do not hate the rain, but they can sometimes feel annoyed when I have locked in the room due to heavy rain. Well .., I hope it will not happen again for a while. rain, please be gentle to me this time.
What time is it now ? A..., I still have plenty of time to find an apartment and enjoy the rain here. But I'd better hurry up, the clouds had begun to darken scary.
Cheongdamdong, 12:30
At the lobby of the apartment, carrying two heavy suitcases is super annoying, and it looks very busy receptionist not to consider myself who had been standing in front of her. Outside raining quite heavy, fortunately I found this apartment soon. if not, I might still be on the road in the rain.
"Sorry"
The voice startled me, she finally realized my presence.
"Your room number 256, it is on the 5th floor and this is the key. If there is a need you can call on this number"

He handed me a small book. Possible guide for foreign tourists,
there are also some important numbers listed on it. Yah .... even though I did not need it, i'm quite fluent in speaking Korean, is quite familiar with the area around
Seoul and has lived in Korea for 6 months. I think the experience was enough to
be my guide today. But received only a book, just for
formality, are also key. Then left the reception desk while
carrying a suitcase. I think I want to dispose of this suitcase quickly, lulled dream forget that the day after I had started to have extra work.
"May I help you?"
the voice .. I like ever heard.
" Hey !"
"May I help you?"
the voice .. I like ever heard.
" Hey !"
Hearing a light and cheer voice, ah ..., I remember now. people who has ever been helped by me when he dropped the national library bookshelves in Korea accidently. Whether he still remembered me? it had happened three years ago.
"Of course, thanks before"
"It's okay, you also had to help me, right? Thank you for it"
"Do you remember me?"
"Yes! Of course I remember, anna is your name right?"
"Yes, and you are juno right?"
"Umm, jo kyung do precisely, by the way in which part of this building you stay ?"
"5th floor number 256"
"Really? I was in room number 254, just a 2-room only. Wow ..., happy coincidence, then I help bring these two suitcases to the door?"
"Of course, thanks before"
"It's okay, you also had to help me, right? Thank you for it"

"Yap .. so much fun that we are
neighbors, what it's not too much trouble?"
"No, come on!"
This elevator has stopped. Fun that I got a friend in this apartment. and I think Juno is a good figure.
"We have been arriving in front of my room, thank you for helping"
"You're wellcome, but are you sure still strong to carry two suitcases of this? '
"Yes .., maybe next time we will meet again"
"Umm….Tomorrow actually I will travel around seoul, if you have time, you can come and join. And if you're sure you're not tired"
"Well, anyway what I can do tomorrow but sleep"
"What if I'm waiting for tomorrow at 07.30, I'm sure you do not want to miss the Asia Song Festival 2013 “
"No, come on!"

"Brilliant idea, see you tomorrow
juno"
" See you tomorrow "
Weird .., I usually do not respond to the invitation with my high spirit like this.
The way Juno to talk, as there is no stamp of sadness in it. What life is always happy, until his voice was very pleasant? Ah .. well, I need a break to prepare my strength. walk around seoul seems to be tiring, but very enjoyable.

09 October 2013
"Are you sure we can go? I think this is a big pickle and only invited guests who could come"
"Calm, they prepared a special stage for people like us"
Initially I doubt it will be greeting juno, but the cries of fans made me realize that juno’s sentenees are true. The festival is very crowded, thousands of fans crammed into Vanue. The sound of screaming fans must evoke the spirit of the idol.
But unfortunately juno asked me to hurry to go elsewhere. There are still many places I want to show you, he said.
Next, we went to the park that somehow I do not know what it's called. But this park is very appropriate to look at the overall seoul. Not many people are coming, or the people here are still lulled by riot music festival?
We stopped right under shady trees overlooking the city seoul. Juno dig up something at the foot of the tree, took out a box with ancient carvings are still visible.
"This!"
He gave me the box, telling me to keep it in the bag.
"Still strong enough to walk or want to rest for a while?"
"Are you sure we can go? I think this is a big pickle and only invited guests who could come"

"Still strong enough to walk or want to rest for a while?"
There is something disturbing my ear and vision, faces juno look empty,
seems obvious to me even though he tried to cover it up. He was also little changed, more subdued. there is an urge to ask why, but I
managed to hold it. the atmosphere is not right. I do not want to spoil the
show-nets this way.
Our event continues, Juno managed to look brighter in front
of me. Although I'm sure there is something that is still bothering him. We went to a place that is commonly known. Namsan Tower, where thousands of
padlocks of love are. Juno buy a key and gave it to me (he
gave me a lot of happiness since we met in the elevator yesterday.
"What you're not going to write?”
"No, I already have a padlock here, is not one enough?"
" Yes you're right "
I pray before hanging a padlock. My hope is that I get to meet people like juno every day, even a small gain happiness from my own, and do not forget about love.
Juno approached me asking what thung I wish?
"I hope to meet people like you every day and got even a little happiness with my own business, I'm also grateful for all that I get now"
"Thank for your wishes, but why you are hoping to meet people like me everyday ?"

“Because a lot of sadness in my life can be
removed only with this way”
He smiled, walked behind him to leave me alone.
"Hey! Wait"
"Come! Dusk was almost down, I want to see the moonlight rainbow fountain show"
"Is it beautiful ?"
Can not deny, moonlight rainbow fountain is amazing. How Korean can creat the water show that using tens of tons of water and illuminated by LED light.
"I used to watch it with my mother"

"I used to watch it with my mother"
The topic was strangling my ears. Mother, .. well, I miss her, but now is not the time to cry.
"If there was a woman who I love now, surely only my mother"
"You must be very fond of her"
"Yeah ... “
The wind blows, mute our mouths. My brain is too clogged to talk. Just now very sensitive topic for us. See the state of it, made me decide to end the trip today. Both of us are tired and it’s time to return to our rooms without saying goodnight. The next minute I fall asleep with dreams.
A week passed after that, I do not see juno again. I have tried to ask the receptionist, but the answer is not in accordance with what I want.S he said that the room had been vacated since the 10th of October, that means just a day after we went together. I tried to ask her friend, but no one knows where juno is.

Until today, the last day I was in the land of ginseng. someone told me that Juno died two days ago because of illness. Who knows what disease he
suffered, but now it is impossible to find the grave. I also
asked where is his family? The answer is that juno lives alone.
I decided to open the box which he left in my bag. In which there are a bracelet and a piece of paper with
I decided to open the box which he left in my bag. In which there are a bracelet and a piece of paper with
"A friend is not the one who is always with you until the end of the world, but a friend is he who ever understand you only a day"
What is this ? What all of this he had planned. Argh..., I could not stop crying. I lost a friend once again. Now I understand all the words you said and this letter. You hope that I can find friend more than you. Thank you for all that you do to me, may God give you the most beautiful places.
