She found out Nuri studying. “Studying?”“I’m going to take the exams to university”“Again?” her sisters says.“Can you bring me the letter, please?” Nuri asked her sister and she went outside to grab it and then leaving it on top of Nuri’s desk. “The top is inside the wardrobe”Nuri grab the letter and slowly her sister left her room.“ Lawyer XXXX-XXX” She did not know who it was but quickly she figure out what it was.

Where I got hurt. Where I lost my love.
But I’m here to work and to finish my 2º year of university since I had a job offer and I had to transfer back to Korea.I’ve to admit everything would be perfect if I stayed in Busan but it was in Seoul.As soon as I arrived Seoul, I went to an apartment already décor that I bought when I was still in UK. Level 14º, 2nd B. I enter it after a long trip and sat on the couch full of pillows. I open my email to check it and I had an email from my previous co-worker. Or anything more important.«I invite you to a dinner at 7:30pm and after it a Karaoke session, Saturday at night… I hope everyone appears because it’s going to be a good occasion to see each other again after some years, right? Please come on!! The restaurant is:…….. See ya there!»Saturday is today. It was sent 4 days ago. Damn it! Should I get on time? I still need to get dressed… ugh!I start rushing, went to take a shower, blow my hair, did a fancy pony tail, fix my bangs, dress my black dress and my black high heels, put my precious watch in my left wrist, grab my silver bag and put everything I need and went downstairs. While going, I called a Taxi because I don’t have car here… yet. And I don’t like to ride on buses.I told him where I wanted to go and he took me there. It was already late and with some traffic even worse. When I arrived there it was 7:50pm. I pay the bill and enter the restaurant. I did not know this restaurant. It had a Japanese feeling.Suddenly I heard my name being called. I saw them in a closed room. I approach the door and bowed several times.“I’m sorry for being late but I just arrived from UK” I said“It’s ok” they answer “Come sit with us, we were about to ask for our food”I took my shoes and sat next to a co-worker. There was an empty seat next to me, but it looked like someone sat there. I did not want to ask who…“
