Chapter 22

It was morning when Ji Won woke up. He went over to Kyung Hee’s tent but she wasn’t there. He patted Chun Ok on the shoulder. “Hey Chun Ok. Do you know where Kyung Hee is?” Chun Ok rolled her eyes. “That girl hasn’t been back all night and neither was Sung Hoon. She must have-”

Ji Won left before she could finish talking. “Ahh!” she screamed because no one ever listened to her.

Ji Won called the others so they could help look for Kyung Hee but he had the feeling she was with Sung Hoon. He took them to the place where Sung Hoon had fell. Sure enough, there they both were. Kyung Hee was leaning against Sung Hoon asleep. Ji Won was mad. “Hey!” The yell woke up Sung Hoon and Kyung Hee up. They glanced up to see who it was.

Sung Hoon stood up. “Hey you guys, help us out!” Jae Duc started laughing as he pulled Sung Hoon up. “Oooh.. Sung Hoonee.. what were you and Miss Kyung Hee doing down there all night?”

Everyone else except Ji Won laughed. “Shut up Duc-ee” said Sung Hoon. Then he leaned over to help Kyung Hee up. “Let’s go home,” Sung Hoon said to the others.

It was evening by the time Sung Hoon got home. He was exhausted so he took a shower and headed straight for bed. He looked over at Kyung Hee’s room, who was exactly across from his. Her lights were out so she must have been asleep. Sung Hoon sat down on his desk and began writing in his journal. He had kept one ever since he was ten and he wrote in it whenever something came up. When he finished his entry, he turned off his lights and went to sleep.

It was eleven at night when Sung Hoon woke up. It was dark out but he couldn’t sleep anymore so headed downstairs to look for something to eat. His mom was in the kitchen.

“Hi mom.”

“Hi Sung Hoonee.” She walked over to kiss him on the forehead. “How was camping?”

“It was fun.”

He sat down at the table with his mom. She touched his hair and let out a sigh. “What’s wrong mom?” He began eating his noodles.

“Nothing son. It’s just that you’re all grown up and going to be off at college soon.”

“Don’t worry mommy. It’s only a couple of hours from here. I’ll be back to visit you and dad often.”

His mom smiled. “I know. Can you believe it? You and Kyung Hee have known each other for ten years now and in just two more days it will be the last time you’ll ever see each other.” Sung Hoon choked on his food.

“What?”

“Oh didn’t you know? Kyung Hee came over an hour ago and made those noodles for us. She told me she’s leaving for the U.S. with her boyfriend in just 2 more days.”

“Boyfriend?!”

“Yes. A boy from your class. I think his name is Ji Won.”

Sung Hoon stopped eating. ‘So Kyung Hee is going to go back to Ji Won.’ His mom looked at his unfinished food. “Something wrong dear?” Sung Hoon shook his head. “No mom. I’m full. I think I’ll go to my room.”
