Remember me
Remember Me (Part 1)


October 13, 2008

Today is my birthday! The nurses at the hospital gave me a cake and I sang happy birthday with my friends at the hospital. Oh! I met a Korean friend at the birthday party today, and his name is Taehyung. He gave me some beads as a present. Taehyung is coming over to play with me, so I guess I'll end it here.

김태형
Jimmy, let's play marbles

박지민
What do you do when you get stuck?

김태형
Like this... like this, oh right, do it like that...

지민어머니
Hey, Taehyung, you're having fun. If anything happens, call me and I'll go out with Mom and Taehyung's mom.

박지민
Nen

박지민
Why are you here, Jimmy?

박지민
Umm..what is it..?

김태형
..why are you here?

박지민
Ah, cook... My heart hurts a little here... Are you?

김태형
I got hit by a car and it hurt when I was a baby, so I came to America.

박지민
That's good.. When are you going to Korea?

김태형
Soon...? After sleeping seven times?

박지민
Yeah, okay, let's hang out when we meet in Korea later.

김태형
Hehe, remember that!

박지민
...yes

Jimin, hearing Taehyung's words to remember, thought of the woman he had tried so hard to forget, and he held back tears while clutching the blanket for no reason.

So Taehyung returns to Korea and 10 years later

October 13, 2018

It's already been 10 years since I came to America. Even though 10 years have passed, I guess I'm still a native Korean. I find Korean more comfortable. At some point, I made it a habit to keep a diary, so I've been writing in it all the time. I think I've been writing until now.

Today is October 13th, my 17th birthday. The kids in America celebrated with me and my parents also congratulated me a lot. Oh, Kim Taehyung's kid used to send me emails every birthday, and he sent me an email this time too. I guess I can trust Kim Taehyung even if I go back to Korea. ㅋㅋ

Finally, what I've always wanted to say is this: I've lived here for 10 years, I've had a girlfriend, I've been number one, I've done everything. Even though I spent my childhood in America, I still have a lot of life left. I've been waiting and waiting... I'm finally going back to Korea!

I don't know if there are any kids who remember me, but I'll be friends with Kim Taehyung's friends, right? Haha I have to catch a flight tomorrow, so I'll just close my eyes now.

박지민
'I transferred to the high school that Kim Taehyung goes to, and at that moment when I went out to say hello to my friends, oh my... ogle... what's wrong with me? haha... I guess I'm crazy...'

담임선생님
Let's say hello, Jimin

박지민
Hehe..//

김태형
?ㅋㅋㅋkkk Park Jimin?ㅋㅋㅋㄱㄱㅋ

담임선생님
J..I told Kim Taehyung to stop being late

김태형
Ahhhhhhhh♡

담임선생님
Ahem.. It's noisy. Jimin, say hello and go to class. I'm going to class.

김태형
yes!

박지민
Um..my name is Park Jimin..uh..

김태형
I came from the US and this is my first time in Korea since kindergarten so I'm being nice to him and since he's my friend, if you mess with him he'll turn into a bathroom doorknob. That's it! Park Jing, come on!!

박지민
Huh? What...is that it?

반 학생들
Haha ...

김여주
..jimin park..?

The female protagonist, who met Jimin's eyes, recognized him at a glance, but Jimin couldn't.
