There was a girl named Lisa, who had friends in South Korea. On this day, she was finally on her way to see her friends. She yawned; the flight from Sacramento to Incheon was long. She sighed and glanced out the window, the busy city began to come into view. The pilot announced over the intercom that they would be landing soon, and to prepare for landing.

Lisa turned her iPod off and set the seat upright. Soon after the plane landed, Lisa found herself in the baggage claim area. Grabbing her luggage, she looked around for the sign her friend said she'd hold in the airport.

She spotted a girl waving, and holding a sign with the name 'Lisa' written on it. She jogged over to the girl. "Boo?" She asked.

"Yes." The girl, Boo, nodded vigorously, her voice thick with her Korean accent.

The two girls embraced in a hug. "O you're finally here Lssa." Boo said, her accent slurring the name.

Lisa giggled at the mess up of her name. "I will get it soon." Boo said, careful to pronounce the English properly.

"So, where is the car?" Lisa asked, as they began walking out of the airport.

"O that way." Boo pointed, before shouting Korean words to a guy across the street. The guy nodded before opening a car. "That is Dong Yul." Lisa's mouth formed an 'o' as she nodded. They soon reached the car, and after loading the bags in, they were on their way for Boo's home.

It was a long drive home, as they had to travel into Seoul, but they finally reached Boo's home. They were quickly greeted by a wave of 'hello' from the kids. "Wow, where'd all these kids come from?" Lisa asked.

"Daycare, but two are mine." Boo replied. Lisa nodded.

"So, where is my room then?"

"Follow me." Boo said, as she raced up the stairs. Lisa was quick to follow her.

"Here, is you room. Tomorrow you meet everyone, today they are out." Boo told her.

Lisa nodded, and then began to unpack. "If you need me I be downstairs." Boo told her.

The next day, Lisa eagerly awaited the arrival of Boo's family and close friends. Lisa went into the washroom to make sure her outfit went together nicely; she did after all want to impress her friends. She heard a soft knock on the door, and some soft Korean words through the door. It wasn't Boo's voice she could tell, but the voice of a child. Lisa opened the door, to see Boo's oldest child, Chul Moo.

The three year old boy stood waiting outside. "Yes?" Lisa asked him. Instead of a reply, he tugged on her arm, leading her to the stairs, then down to the kitchen.

"Umma…" the little boy began, before continuing his request. Boo nodded at the boy then spoke Korean to him that sent him running back upstairs.

"I see you ready." Boo commented, noticing Lisa. Boo offered Lisa a plate of food. "Breakfast?"

Lisa looked at the plate, and then said, "Pancakes?"

"I thought you like that."

"I do, thanks so much Boo." Lisa said as she sat on the bar stool and began to eat. A childish giggle could be heard coming down the hall. Boo walked out of the kitchen to greet Dong Yul and her youngest child, Yun Hee. The one year old happily reached out for her mother.

Boo held the child in her arms as Chul Moo rushed up and grabbed at her legs. Lisa placed her plate in the sink then walked over to the young boy. She crouched down to his level then began to tickle the boy. He giggled in glee at Lisa's play.

"Lisa, they be here soon." Boo told her. Lisa smiled and stood up, letting the boy run off to another room. Boo placed Yun Hee in the arms of Dong Yul, and then spoke to him. He gave his reply then went off in the direction Chul Moo went.

Soon, the doorbell rang; Boo went up to answer it, Lisa following her. Boo answered the door, and after both had greeted each other, Boo introduced the visitors to Lisa. "Lisa, this is Jae, my brother, and Joo, his boyfriend." Lisa smiled and greeted them.

As Lisa headed to the living room to chat with the two boys, the final guest of the day arrived. Boo greeted him with a hug. "Lisa." Boo said as she walked up to her, "this is Min." Min smiled at her, then sat down near the other boys.

They chatted until late in the evening. Jae was slumped over against Joo's shoulder, sleeping soundly. "Well, I think we should go now." Joo said, as he nudged Jae awake. He yawned as he stood to walk to the door.

After the door closed behind them, Lisa noticed Min hadn't left. "Min, you aren't going?" He looked up at her.

"O I wait for my mom." He told her. Lisa nodded.

"Well, I'm tired, so I'm going to go to bed." Lisa said as she went back upstairs. Boo and Min watched her leave. They continued talking until Min's mom showed up to take him home.

The next day, Lisa came to Boo with an idea. "Boo, what do you do for fun on a Saturday night?"

"Sometimes movie, why?"

"Well, you know how Min mentioned that club…"

"O that club we use go to." Boo asked.

"Yes, do you think we could go there tonight?"

"Lisa do you also remember, why we say we no go there?" Boo said, placing the breakfast plate down.

"Yes, but, c'mon, it would be fun. Please, just once, for old time's sake?" Lisa pleaded. Boo sighed, thinking about the offer.

"Okay, but just once."

Lisa gleamed, "I promise, just this once!"

Boo explained for Lisa to be ready to leave by 8pm.
