Loving Yourself

The Summer Camp

Yokada and Shin boarded the same car. Secretary Min Ho, Assistant Min Sae and Ha Jae use Yokada's jeeb.

They went to the place they wanted to go. About 4 hours drive, they finally arrived at the place they were headed.

"Auntie, want some bread?" ha Jae asked, offering a loaf of bread.

"You here. Honey, you want to?!" min Sae asked Min Ho.

"Ah, yes.Thank you," he said.

Stop them at the foot of the hill covered with towering trees splitting the sky. There is a pretty meadow outside by the river.

That is the place that will be the aera of camp for them. A place so very cool. As if it had never been touched by a single human.

The towering trees of the forest, the watercress of the river, will surely make the feathers of the horse anyone will bristle at night.

The place is located not far from the path that only fit through one car. The road is unpaved. It is beyond civilization.

They rushed to get ready to take down all the things they were carrying. Prepare one by one all the needs needed. Put up a tent, look for wood, take water. Everyone is busy with their duties.

"Ahh yes. We've all arrived. Okay, we'll wait." said Yokada, speaking to the person on the other end of the phone.

"Sir Shin. Let me help you." said Secretary Min approaching Shin who was busy setting up a tent.

Secretary Min accidentally sees Shin, who seems to occasionally notice Ha Jae. It was as if Shin's gaze was only on Ha Jae.

"Well, I'm also interested in the boy" Secretary Min said. "She looks very character, doesn't she?"

Min Ho tried to get closer to Shin. "I have known him for a long time. All I know is that he is not yet wicked in Korean, so he rarely, even almost never speaks a little." continued Min Ho.

"Well?!" shin looked very curious.

"I heard he was Indonesian. Look at his skin and face. Truly Indonesia." praise Min Ho's amazement while occasionally pulling the rope tent. "I don't know why Mr. Yokada raised the boy to be his sister. Clearly, he must be special to Mr. Yokada."

Shin who was full of curiosity was, rushing to follow Min Ho who was busy setting up the tent. Shin hoped to get a lot of information from him.

"When Yokada picked up the boy, I maxed Ha Jae. I just saw the girl when she came from Seoul." asked Shin.

"I don't know. Clearly, he's behind you now." Min Ho whispered softly towards Shin.

Secretary Min rushed away as if talking about nothing.

"It's fresh air here" said Min Ho away from Shin.

Shin who was feeling bad slowly turned his body. There was already Ha Jae standing right behind Shin. Ha Jae bowed his head to pay his respects, before he poked a bottle of drink at Shin.

"Oh, thank you." said Shin.

Ha Jae just bowed his head and left in front of Shin Ji Joon.

Shin feels bad for Ha Jae for talking about him with Min Ho. Shin rushed to the campfire where everyone had gathered.

"Hi, Ha Jae, get me a beer in the car." Yokada said.

Ha Jae did not respond to Yokada's remarks, he continued to arrange the wood that will be made by the bonfire tonight. Until Min Sae approaches him and pats Ha Jae on the shoulder.

"Hey!" said Min Sae.

Ha Jae took off something in his ear from behind his black veil. Yokada who saw it looks upset because from earlier it turns out Ha Jae did not listen to the story.

"Hais, kid! So from earlier you use the handset, huh!! I've been so hard-earned to get you talking. Give it to me!!" hardik Yokada looked annoyed.

Ha Jae who looks confused, slowly approached towards Yokada. Without asking Ha Jae to put the handset on Yokada's ears. Yokada refused, but on his axe. Yokada looks startled and looks at Ha Jae seriously after hearing something from the handset. Ha Ja just grimacedly smiled back at Yokada's gaze.

"Yes there already. Get me a beer in my car. Wine, Wines. Get me the Wine." Yokada said instantly as if bewitched.

Ha Jae rushes towards the car, he pulls out a box of cold drinks from the car and takes it to the campground. Ha Jae grabbed a bottle from the box and gave it to Yokada.

"Hey. Wine, Wine!! This is not Wine. You can read no!" yokada Hardik.

"Hmmm!" mumbling Ha Jae.

Ha Jae who seemed to understand what Yokada meant turned around to take a glass and open the soju bottle he brought. He gave the glass to Yokada and poured soju into it. Yokada who saw that looked very rude to Ha Jae.

"HEY YOU .. "creepy Yokada.

BREANGKKK!!!

Before Yokada finished his speech. Ha Jae kicked down the table as quietly as he could. He looked at Yokada very sharply.

Yokada who got the response then quietly grabbed a glass of soju and drank it. Ha Jae poured soju back into Yokada's glass with a sweet smile on his lips.

"Today, start this, ha-nya So-ju. No other alcohol, another So-ju." Ha Jae stammeredly spoke Korean which he had not yet learned.

Yokada looks upset, as if resigned to what Ha Jae did. Shin was surprised to see the incident.

How can a stubborn Yokada who is always acting like it, be afraid and submit to a little girl who is no more than 157cm tall, with an ideal thin body.

Even if he remembered Yokada's past. Yokada's own father, too, was overwhelmed to organize Yokada. Until ai must be willing to throw and kick Yokada harshly from his leadership.

It's hard to believe that, right now, Yokada looks like a puppy that's afraid of something no one else knows what it is. Ha Jae, it really made Shin even more curious about himself.

"Master, Mr. Yosima." Min Ho gave Yokada a cell phone.

Yokada grabbed the phone. "Yes? Oh yea. You're straight. There'll be a fork, you take a left. Follow that path. Later you'll meet another fork with a little bridge. Take the path that runs out of the main road. Follow the unpaved trail into the forest. We're at the end of the road."

The person from the other end of the phone seemed to agree with Yokada's instructions. Yokada then turned off the phone. Yokada enjoyed the soju in front of him.

"Shin, let's have a drink" Yokada said, giving Shin a glass. "Min Ho, come on. Let's take a break, Min Sae here take it."

"Thank you." said Min Ho.

"Take more if less." Yokada said.

They also enjoyed the soju in the cool of the afternoon. The beauty of the hills in the middle of the forest, as if juggling the hot afternoon sun into a cool atmosphere like in the morning. It was a very calm and cool atmosphere.

After they have finished preparing everything. They're getting ready for the burn-out tonight. Ha Jae who was before leaving had prepared fried rice for their breakfast, took out the food for them to eat. Not long for them all to eat out of it.

"What a good one, huh?" praise Min Sae.

"Eh for one" said Min Ho taking a piece of sausage from the top of the plate.
