Chapter 7
Soo Nam Sun and the Tickets to Korea
The snow was starting to melt as spring began once again. Sanbanchijin started to bloom again, and was not lonely anymore, it looked happy, but Fuu was miserable, always thinking of her parents. It was all the same on the weekdays, wake up, bath, school, homework, and eat dinner, and then finally go to sleep. And when she was home with Sano he would make small talk sometimes, and he blushed time and time again when their eyes met. Fuu was looking out the window, there was no hill, no tree, no Ferio. She sighed, why am I always moping, I should go out with Umi and Hikaru… Fuu's parent's will was found and said that all their money would go to her. So she was saving to buy a condominium before next summer. She didn't want to be a bother to Sano and his family. Fuu's parent's funeral and cremation is coming up soon, and Fuu and Sano's mother had been organizing for the sad event.
Fuu got up and went into the kitchen, to see Sano and his dad playing chess. They were laughing and having a good time. "Oh, hey Fuu, want to play me after I win?" Sano asked cheerfully as his father shoved him playfully, "Hey, who said you were gonna win?" They both laughed and Fuu declined the offer and tried to smile. Suddenly, the door opened and there came in Sano's mother, Kayeda, she looked happy.
"Hey guys, I have a surprise for all of us!" She said hiding something behind her back. "What is it?" Fuu asked trying to take a peek.
"Yeah, tell us tell us!" Sano said as he walked to her. Kayeda revealed her surprise and there were four plane tickets. Fuu had a surprised look on her face; she has never been on a plane before.
"I got tickets to Seoul, South Korea, free and 1st class!" Kayeda cheered as she gave a ticket to each of them. Fuu examined it, Asia Grand Airlines, the price tag said 10,000 yen each.
"I thought we could all go for some fun a week after the funeral, don't you want to go Fuu?" Kayeda asked as Fuu became startled, she didn't want to go, but she didn't want to hurt Kayeda's feelings.
Fuu thought for a minute and they all looked at her, "Um, yeah, of course, let's go!" Fuu pretended to cheer and be happy, but when she went to the guest room she closed the door and fell onto her bed. She didn't want to go at all, she wanted to stay in Hokkaido, and be with her relatives and friends. Fuu wondered what Ferio was doing, and she wanted to call him.
Ferio, get ready, we're going to a party!" Ferio's mother called from downstairs banging on the counter.
"What, another party for more exposure? I'm not going!" Ferio yelled slamming his door. He had been thinking of Fuu for a while, and wondering why she hasn't answered his e-mail's. Ferio heard stomps coming up the stairs and Ferio sighed lazily. He sat on the edge of his bed ready for another "yelling at."
Ferio's mom slammed the door open, "Get up you lazy brat, why can't you just help your father, I don't want to go either, but we need to look like a happy family!" She spat slapping his face.
"Why be fake mother, well, maybe your used to it already because of all the plastic surgery you got on your face already!" Ferio cleverly yelled back. His mother eyed him and breathed heavily.
"Get ready Ferio, now!" His mother had nothing to blackmail him with, if she told him to leave, Ferio would certainly leave with his things.
Ferio groaned and got his clothes ready and went into the shower.
As he showered there were yells and groans he could here from his mother. Taking his time to agitate his mother even more, she came up and banged on the bathroom door.
"You kid, hurry up, were already late!" Ferio grinned and acted out a fake groan. After another 5 minutes they went into the car and went to the party. He sat next to the party presents and looked at how happy everyone was. Ferio saw his sister, Emeruade, flirting with a few boys at the bar and took one of boy's hands and led him into the unisex bathroom. Ferio rolled his eyes, not again… so that's why she went to the corner store…
Ferio spaced out for a while until suddenly a girl walked to him and stood in front of his view. An eyebrow went up and Ferio looked at the girl in agitation. She looked at him with a cute little smile.
"Hi, I'm Soo Nam Sun, but you can call me Soo Nam!" She greeted cheerfully holding her hand out ready for a shake. The girl was Korean, but spoke Japanese very well. Ferio looked at her hand and Soo Nam waited there in embarrassment not wanting to move.
"Oh, uh hi, I'm Ferio!" He finally replied shaking her hand. He stood up and Soo Nam offered a walk with him through the park.
When Ferio and Soo Nam walked out Soo Nam's mother watched with an evil smirk and took a sip of whine. When the two got out it was sunny and there were children playing in the park.
"It's a nice day isn't it?" Soo Nam asked as she suddenly spun one revolution in front of Ferio to make him stop. Ferio was startled and held back. Soo Nam could see it in his eyes that he was afraid.
"Uh, yeah, it is a nice day!" Ferio answered as they sat on the swing set.
"So, Soo Nam, why are you here in Japan?" Ferio asked as he swung himself.
"Well, I came with my mother to see my step-dad, he came here about 3 months ago on a business trip and were going back to South Korea all together." Soo Nam replied as she looked at Ferio with a cute smile. Ferio tried not to look at her and blushed, what's with this girl…
"So, Ferio was it, how old are you?" Soo Nam looked at him the whole time and Ferio was getting more uncomfortable by the minute.
"Well, uh, I'm 18." Ferio replied swinging higher and higher. They both laughed when Ferio nearly fell off the swing.
"Your such a klutz!" Soo Nam joked with another smile as Ferio looked at her laughing. Suddenly, someone called Soo Nam's name from the party. It was Soo Nam's mother, Soo Nam waved to her.
"Honey, let's go, we're leaving!" She called as Soo Nam got off the swing.
"Well, I have to go now, maybe we'll see each other again." Soo Nam said as she approached him. And without a warning she suddenly gave him a peck on the cheek. Ferio was frozen on the swing as Soo Nam skipped to her mother. I can't like this girl…
When Soo Nam got to her mother Soo Nam looked at her with eyes of success.
"So, did you get his attraction Soo Nam?" Her mother, Hye Ran asked as they drove back to the hotel.
"Of course mother, and we'll marry into his family in no time…" Soo Nam replied with an evil giggle.
"Thank you my daughter, you're really a trick master aren't you?" Soo Nam looked at her mother and smiled.
"Well mom, did you do your part?" Soo Nam hen asked with anxiety. Hye Ran was supposed to befriend Ferio's parents so that they would invite Soo Nam and her mother to their home. And then offer the tickets to Emeruade and Ferio. And if that worked Soo Nam would seduce him and Soo Nam would get pregnant. There being they would have to get married. They needed Soo Nam to marry into a rich family, so they could pay off their debts they owed Soo Nam's father, who divorced Hye Ran awhile back. It was an very dishonoring to their relatives if anyone found out about the plan, so they kept it secret.
"Of course I did, and they did invite us to their home tomorrow!" Hye Ran replied clapping.
Soo Nam joined her in the celebration and they clapped and hugged when they got back to the hotel.
"Ferio will be mesmerized over me!" Soo Nam yelled flipping her hair back as if he were there.
