To my precious and special friend Kika.

I could feel the time to say good bye with you is just around the corner through ‘D-10’ at your katalk…

I didn’t expect you and I would share deep and strong friendship each other like now when we met for the first time. As I told you, whenever I spent the time with you I felt as if I was with my close Korean friend.

I’m sincerely hoping you’ve also been feeling like that. You’ve helped me feel the happiness coming from introducing our country and be proud of it.

In the near future, I’ll definitely keep my promise that I’ll visit your country and learn about it a lot. I’m sure you’ll be able to the best tour guide for me then. It will be natural that we won’t be able to talk long anymore as we did here in Korea. But feel free to let me know your sadness and unfortunate thing even after going back to Indonesia, OK? And, of course, I’m always ready to congratulate the happy and wonderful things in your life, especially your wedding!!I I’ll be waiting for the day when I can see you wearing a beautiful dress with a great prince, Kika.

ALWAYS TAKE CARE.

From your best friend in Korea, Bella, Jisu.

Since i’m the last student who came to the class, english conversation class, with Chris, I should sit with the only guy who sit alone there. There’s actually no force for me to sit with him. But since it’s conversation class where i would need partner to practice the conversation, i have no other choice but sit with him.

It’s nearly the end of semester. So many days i spent with him and had conversation with him. The more time passes by, the more i know about him.
He’s the only child in his family. His father is an army who is very strict to him. Her mother graduated from Art Science and love painting. Once when he was a kid, her mother taught him to draw a kind of human portrait. But it was really though for him. When he was kid, he used to be forced by his parents to read books everyday. Any book. If he didn’t, he won’t get permit to play outside with his friends.
He studied english at U.S for one year. He shared so many stories that he experienced when he studied there. The thing that he didn’t like the most is racism. In US, they called Asian as yellow monkey. He has an Indonesian room mate. He told me how surprised he was to see his room mate fasting, praying, and eat with hand. One day his friends asked him to eat together with hand. He said his friends were laughed at him because he ate like a dog when he ate with hand. lol.
His girlfriend, he told me that he met his girlfriend at US. How was it? He met her at the street, and they greet each other, and their relationship goes on. kinda funny right? lol xD
He said he always do everything for his girlfriend. He made cake for their first relationship anniversary. He always celebrate his girlfriend birthday, but not with the girlfriend. His girlfriend is too ignorant to him.

He said he’s a very shy guy. He wants to have a better personality. He likes talkative girl, but he always got friends who have same characteristic with him: shy.
He also wonder what makes him so shy and calm. But in his opinion, it might be because of his father strictness. his father always told him to be a serious guy and not to talk a lot.
He’s a shy guy. He doesn’t talk a lot. He claimed that he’s a good listener.
But he told me about himself this much. Yeah i’m a good friend, a smart girl. I can even make a shy guy to talk this much 😛

Once up on one moment, after finish our study together Kyongsu took me to walk around our campus. Just to have small conversation, to practice our english speaking as usual. That time he asked me to walk around Dragon bowl, the stadium of Dju. But didn’t know that we would walk out of the campus. That’s the moment where all begin.

When i’m feeling down like no one understand me, like i’m inferior in front of people, and feel like i’m tired of everything. I remember that moment. He taught me how to boost my mood up. To draw a smile on my sorrow face. To stand on my own two feet. To be spiritful. To not blame myself. To be sure that there will be a better future. He said, everything will be better. No condition would fall worse.

We shouted out loud: “할수 있다. We can do it.” It was over 9 pm, no one there. Just few cars passing by. No one will hear us. Those words fell in to the dark, reverbing come into our soul.
That’s how he usually get his confident back. He used to walk there with his friends and shouted everything he wanted to. Indeed, after shouting that loud i feel relieved inside.
