“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.
Delicious Ambiguity.”
― Gilda Radner
Sounds like a plan to me~ I am, but it’s probably going to be late again.. I can’t help it now-a-days what time I sleep.. -huffs quietly- It’s stressful. Aigoo, I should be the one asking you about your sleeping schedule. Get that journal done early so you can go and do whatever you want, neh? But I’m glad your enjoying it so far. Ah, Duke is an Australian Shepard!
I’m hoping it’s not going to take long, but I’m expecting I’ll get it done twelve hours later~ [Hillary slightly pouts, but immediately brightening her features once she turns her head to make a fist pump in front of the kids] Wish me luck, okay? Fighting!~ [then she shifts to say the same to Nicole]. His eyes are blue, am I right, unnie? He very cute! I wish Trevor (Her dog) could play with him, but he lives at my parents place in Busan.
Omo.. I should do that too. I’ve been feeling really sleepy these days, aigoo. -she quickly averted her eyes to the side mirror to check for incoming cars before she began to speak- It has been no? Despite the sleep, I’ve been great! Duke is growing up to be so big, it’ll be soon until I won’t be able to hold him. -frowns slightly- Hmm.. Umma didn’t say, but she was talking about Japan a couple of times. She isn’t really sure herself, but if there’s a possibility, I’ll be sure to tell you~ How about you, dear? How’s school?
MMh, coffee in the afternoon. Unnie, are you not planning to sleep tonight? [She laughs amusingly] Ey, you should rest too, but as for myself I need to finish one Journal critique tonight so no time to sleep. School is stressful, but I’m enjoying it so far. So, Japan? Mmhh, that sounds like a good plan! [she nods in thought]. And speaking of Duke, he’s getting bigger now. What was his breed again?
To the cafe it is! -puts the car into drive and begins to drive off to the place- Mmm! It’s right by my house so it’s really convenient for us. They have really nice desserts as well, hehe.
Looks like I’m going to chug iced coffee~ [She clicks her fingers and glances back at the kids, sending on their way a playful wink before completely diverting her attention to the road with a small puff, brushing some hair off her face] Unnie, it’s been a while. How are you doing? Is Auntie going to open one store in Japan?
Hmm.. we could go to the cafe that Misun and Jaesun like, they lo- -unable to finish her sentence, she hears the soft pleas of her children’s favorite cafe: “please umma~” “Pleaseplease~” - Aigoo, only if Auntie Hillary wants to go— and no puppy eyes! Let her make the decision!
[Her smile widens after hearing the plea of Nicole’s children and she chuckled behind her hand] Sure kids, let’s go there. As long as I can eat and it is somewhere cold. Is it near, unnie?
-a happy smile made its way to her lips as she saw the young girl appear from the door- Hillary! -she unlocked the door before she reached the car and flashed her another smile as she entered- Jaesun, Misun- 인사해! -upon hearing her request, her kids happily bowed their head and flashed the female a happy smile, greeting her in sync “Hello Auntie Hillary!”- That’s my babies, hehe. -shifts her attention back on her friend- Now, where shall we go to get this Patbingsoo?
Aiiigo~ [Hillary scrunches her nose slightly after smiling adorably at Nicole’s children, the back of her shoulder slightly leaned against the side of the seat before moving her attention towards their mother] Unnie, your choice. Where do you feel like going?
-gets up from the couch as soon as she replies to the text and tells her kids that they’re going out for food; she waits as she hears the stomps on her scurrying twins down the stairs and grabs her keys and bag before opening the door for the two of them- Time to go see Auntie Hillary! -locks the door behind her and unlocks the car, strapping both of them in; hops into the drivers seat and cautiously makes way to the female’s house. After fifteen minutes pass, she pulls up to her desired destination and honks the horn hoping to catch her friend’s attention; she rolls down the window- YAH, YOO HILLARY! -honks the horn once more- COME OUT!
I’M COMING! I’M COMING~ [Hillary throws her sling before scurrying down the stairs with the noisy sounds of her flipflops, answering Nicole. She turned the knob open and stepped outside, closing the door behind her] Unnie! [She almost giggled while waving her hand upon seeing the other’s bright face, and then she walked hurriedly, opening the front passenger seat and waved at the kids before settling herself in and buckling up] Annyeoong~ It’s nice to see you both again!
-chuckles softly and nods- Mmm, I’ll let you win this time. Aish! Don’t rush! We’ll get there when we get there! -nudges her side jokingly-
- Hillary nudges Nicole back, smiling, laughing, and then dragging her again inside the ice cream parlor - Ei. Aren’t you feeling the same way too though? -she lightly pushes Nicole to the counter to order first- Now, pick your flavors~ and Ahjussi, -Hillary calls out the vendor- We’re going to take four bucket full.
