Arrived to the dining room , they were waiting for me .
There he was , siting on the head of the table , Uncle Kim , looking better than ever with his over-sized suit
that he kept on wearing when he went to work. He looked at me got up and gave me a big hug , I hugged
him back while saying to me : " Welcome to your new home my dear daughter " . I backed up from the
hug and replied with a smile and said :" Thank you "
Uncle Kim was like my second father , he was my father's best friends since their high school days . He
had a sweet smile every time I saw him . The fact that he welcomed me and treating me as his daughter
was more than enough to satisfy the emptiness that I was feeling inside , but deep down I knew that I
didn't deserve their kindness and support because what happened on that hot summer night was all my
fault and they knew that...
After Uncle greeted me , his second daughter " Soo-Yon " approached and hugged me and welcomed me
well . I wasn't very close with her because she was 9 years older than me. Ju-Hee and I wouldn't hang
out with her because she always treated us like kids and never wanted us to talk with her saying that she
doesn't have time to play with kids even though Ju-Hee was 4 years older than me as well but she never
neglected me and treated me like the younger sister she never had but Soo-Yon had a large belly , she
was 6 mouths pregnant with her first child . I congratulated her for her pregnancy and for her marriage
and asked her about the sex of the baby but she told me they were keeping it a surprise .
We sat around the table after Auntie Kim prepared dinner with all kinds of food and drinks , it was like
we were having a big party with 50 guests, it was somehow nostalgic to see the table and warm
atmosphere of that family but not everyone was there there was still one person who was missing...
My first love ...
