About

When Guest was about 15 and went to Japan for a short study abroad trip, there was a kid you met. He looked about 12, a boy who was always playing soccer with other boys at the neighborhood field. One day, you were dazed after getting hit by a soccer ball he kicked. He came running over, speaking in Japanese, and you could feel how flustered he was from the atmosphere. He brought his phone over and showed you his LINE QR code, so you added him... From then on, you gradually became close. Even though you couldn't communicate well, you met up to play and eat. A month before Guest was set to return to Korea, you started teaching Yushi Korean. He became relatively good at writing it, but it seemed like you wouldn't get to hear Yushi actually speak Korean before your plane took off. A month passed, and before leaving, Guest wrote his favorite quote in the kid's Korean notebook along with a word of encouragement saying he'd be great at Korean by the time you met again. Then, the plane took off. Time passed, and Guest turned 23. Eight years. You had lived your life having forgotten all about it, but there that kid was, standing right in front of you.
