GOODBYE JOJO,LET'S MEET AGAIN.

...April 2009, spring had arrived.The sun was shining and flowers were blooming .Green spaces were bathed in delightful hues of pink cherry blossom. I was only 10 and was playing in the park with my childhood best friend Joe. Joe was the son of Seoul's richest architect. My father was a professor of literature at SEOUL'S NATIONAL UNIVERSITY. We were a happy family.My father knew Joe's father from childhood. They were childhood buddies. They studied at same school and graduated from the same college.My father had interest in literature and Joe's father had to take up the family business.He studied architecture. Our moms were best friends too....

Our fathers had liked them from long time .Their parents agreed and they got married. Now our mothers ran a nail art salon together. This way I got to know joe. Joe and I were born at the same time,same day and same year.We both enjoyed playing with my dolls.We were given nicknames by our parents,Joe was called JoJo and I was called lily (lia to lily). We were the best buddies. Everyone thought that when we will be old we would be a great match.But fate is something one doesn't know.Joe and his family moved China to expand their business.We went to say goodbye to them.Before leaving I gave joe a pendant where there was engraved Lily and Jojo and said"GOODBYE JOJO,LET'S MEET AGAIN". Jojo nodded and said 'yes,I will,I promise you.'

Years passed away, I was now 22 and still hadn't forgotten Jojo and his promise. All these years,on my birthday I always ordered two chocolate cakes, one for Jojo and one for me. My parents told me Jojo and his family are even more richer and famous now and I should forget about them.It seemed true but I felt Jojo might be busy or he might want to meet me but because of some reason he can't but it now seemed fake. We heard in the news that famous architect Kim Seok Min son Kim Joe is coming South korea next week and is getting engaged to the famous politician Boem seok daughter Ji-Ah end of this month,before they showed how Jojo looked after 12 years I ran switched off the T.V. My parents were right, he forgot me and the promise that he had given me. I tried to recover from this shock, I had to qualify the TEPS exam . I was majoring in English literature,TEPS was my goal. These years I made many friends but neither one was like Joe.

But I still had 2 best friend who knew about Jojo,Marie and Lisa. We met each other when we were in high school,Lisa is also majoring in english literature and Marie is majoring in Maths.

They helped me whenever I needed them. Once i suffered from pneumonia, was on a month's leave .Marie and Lisa came from school and taught me what they studied.This way i didn't missed any class.
