Chapter 5
Two weeks after the world conference :
Buckling up the auburn, beige skirt, I picked up a long white coat that a kind elderly woman back in my city (Sinuiju) had sent me. Her knitting was always so unique and perfect. I braided a small share of my hair starting from my right bangs to the side behind my ear and clipped it; it's ends matching the flow of the rest of my hair. In the bag that I would be bringing along with me, I placed two scrunchies in case I needed to tie back my hair later.
I stepped into the wall mirror and looked at my appearance: the white coat sleeves reached one third down my arm and it's cape draped beyond my knees; a fading sky blue blouse tucked into the belt; and an auburn, beige frilly skirt that stopped two thirds past my thighs buckled by a dark pink belt alike the color of my jeogori. I grabbed my bag and pulled it over my head—the plaid pattern of the white and dark gray looked agreed with the rest of my outfit in a way. Grabbing pure white socks, I slipped them off and rushed with putting on easy to take off white slippers with a thin black border on the bottom.
"Kai," a shout from below called and I almost tripped over a scattered book on the floor, "Hurry up or else Sealand will have to wait longer than he already has."
Early this morning, I had forgotten to set an alarm and woke up too early than I had liked. I soon fell asleep when I checked the clock and then woke up a bit too late. So I had to rush putting on everything. Peter came a bit late too—I didn't see him, but he rang the doorbell ten minutes past our promised time. I pouted as I shut the door to my room behind me; I didn't make him wait too long—only three minutes. On the ground floor, I dipped my head low and apologized quickly, "I'm very sorry for the wait!"
When I straightened, I thought my eyes would fail me and turn away from Peter. I have never seen him wear anything but his sailor uniform and hat. Now his hair was bare, nothing blocked it and you could see the blonde streaks shine brightly under the light. He wore a regular white collared long sleeved shirt buttoned down the front except for the top two and beige pants that reached right below his knees with two thin white stripes on opposite sides of the pants. He wore black sneakers with gray streaks and a pair of light blue socks that almost made me laugh except I was too absorbed in looking at him. "Uh, no, it's alright…" he blushed while trying to keep his eyes with mine which had trouble concentrating on his pair of eyes as well.
"Okay you two love birds," my brother said as he opened the front door, "Have a safe trip and make sure you come back by 7 at most."
Gong Dou's eyes glared into Peter's and Peter bowed, "Yes, I shall get her home by 7 o'clock."
His eyes smiled as he said, "Very good. Have fun~."
Peter grabbed my hand and led me out of the house and I turned back to wave at my brother before we left. Smiling, he led me down the street and we headed towards the busy part of my neighborhood.
"It's been a while, hasn't it?" Peter asked as we strolled through the big streets of the city, hand in hand. Teenagers and businessmen passed by us roughly as the streets were usually crowded on weekends but we didn't get separated—as long as our hands were intertwined, we would be together.
Smiling, I observed the city—it's not everyday I get to wonder out of my house and meet with the civilians. "Where are we going?" I asked as he led me somewhere while I tried to look at every shop to our left.
He smiled and my attention was recaptured by his joyful face, "We're going to the amusement park. Wouldn't you like that?"
My heart pounded a bit before I answered back with his wholehearted joy, "Thank you, Peter!" I have never been to the amusement park before. I have read about them and seen them on the television, but never went to one in real life. I turned my attention back to the shops instantly when I noticed his blushing face—I still wasn't used to it, but I did the best I could to make him comfortable with my remarks on the shop.
I pray very hard that our first date wouldn't turn for the worse!
