A Ride to the Airport & a Flashback of

 a Very Embarrassing Moment for Jiunwei.

I’m leaving Seoul and flying to New York soon, reaching New York the next morning. Dad was kind enough to fetch my 2^nd sister, HuShin and I to the airport early in the morning. Mac Crue Min would be meeting us in the airport at 1am sharp because we’re supposed to check in 30 min before the 2am flight. The 2 hours journey to the Korean National Airport was a very boring one. Dad is busy concentrating in his driving while my 2^nd sister was very tired after a day of being a homemaker at home.

I was left alone pondering about the last time when we traveled to the airport. Not to catch a flight in the airport but to send Jiunsi off to Japan. It was sort of a farewell kind of thing when parents are not very keen to send their child off. Anyway, during that journey to the airport, (5 years back then). Something very embarrassing happened to Jiunwei. Since no one is going to read this secret journal, I’m going to be happy enough to scribble down every detail of his embarrassing moment. Hopefully our “Miss Radio Reporter of the Raeys”, Miss HuShan would not secretly read my journal if not Jiunwei will be in great trouble again. The little Miss busybody would tell everyone who knows Jiunwei or to say in simple terms, the whole school and the household would know including distant cousins and friends.

So far only Dad, Mom, Jiunsiang, Jiunsi and I knew about this incident. Jiunwei had pleaded us not to tell anyone else and had made us promise him on the spot.  Dad as usual was driving while mom was just quietly sitting on the car seat next to him accompanying him quietly. Jiunsiang, Jiunsi and I were cracking a lot of jokes to entertain each other before Jiunsi leave us. It seems like as if we’re not going to see Jiunsi again. We want to give Jiunsi a very good farewell memory before he leaves and not showing our teardrops. (to tell you the truth I was controlling my tears when he left Korea to settle in Japan. )

Anyway, I’ll just continue the story about the past incident. Suddenly Jiunwei, told us that he needed to ease himself very much. We were then in the middle of a busy highway and dad found it hard to stop at the side of the road. Instead of easing himself outside the car, Jiunwei have to do it unnaturally. My parents told him to do it in an empty mineral bottle. The cheeky 9 year old, was a little embarrassed to do so with the help of Jiunsi and I holding up the blanket for him, incase someone would look through the car window. He was just giggling at the same time feeling uneasy to do so in front of us. Finally, he has to do what my parents ask of him because he couldn’t stand waiting longer or it’ll explode. Without us noticing, Jiunwei covered himself with his blanket, without our help, for security purpose and ease himself that way.

Well it was very disgusting because I believe that there will be germs around but we can’t help it. The water bottle of yellow urine was then thrown into the airport toilet blow when we reached there. Erm….indeed disgusting but it was the fact, and it happened that way. My parents then warn Jiunwei not to do it again. That was an emergency that is why we allowed him to do so. If he do that again we’ll embarrass him by telling Hushan.  

I’m still wondering how is Huyen doing at this point of her life. She is already 10 years old. 3 more years and she’ll be in Highschool. The only thing that can proof that I’m her sister is by telling her that she has a very nice Korean silk with her. It was my family tradition to give it to every members of the Raey family, since my ancestor. It is not a culture that Koreans does but it is just purely for our own family to know and to easily identify ourselves incase we are separated to stay in different places. I prayerfully hope that she’s still having it. Alright I’ll just stop here. It’ll be good to rest, it’s too dark to write, I’ve tried my best by using my mobile’s torchlight but it’s still too dark.
