Invisible

Baby stopped going to school and worked long hours at the grocer store.  She wished she could be invisible.  And she was determined to save enough money to return to Hong Kong as soon as possible.  

Whenever she was in the public eye she disguised herself to look like a boy and never spoke to anyone.  She was afraid her big brother may find her so she never did anything else but work, sleep and eat at the shop.  

Three months passed quickly and Baby finally bought her one-way plane ticket to Hong Kong.  The day of her departure Eunwoo who had kept her secret for the last three months turned up at the airport to see her off.  Baby was surprised that he bothered as she had no feelings for him.  Or on that matter she had no romantic feelings for anyone!  However, Eunwoo had admired her determination to take care of herself, so he was determined not to miss this last opportunity to tell Baby his feelings  even if she may not feel the same towards him.  As he professed his love for her and hoped one day they would meet again, Baby suddenly kissed him on the cheek.

Eunwoo was a little startled and smiled while touching his cheek.  He was surprised by her gesture.  Baby smiled at Eunwoo and thanked him for keeping her secret especially from her big brother Kai.  Baby missed her brother the most at that moment.  She asked Eunwoo to wait a few days before informing Kai that she was sorry for making him worry and that she was safe and back where she belonged.  Eunwoo asked Baby, “Will he understand?”.  Baby replied, “Yes, my brother Kai will know I’ve returned to Hong Kong”.  Kai knew once Baby was back in Hong Kong she would easily become invisible.  That’s just what she wanted.
