Eleven (1/1)

When I woke up this morning, the whole world had changed. Even the sun was brighter. There were all these little coins of white light, dancing on my bedroom wall. And when I opened my curtains, I couldn’t stop staring. Our street, the other houses, the garden, it was as if everything had been put through wash and come out white and sparkling. Mom and Soo Ri were eating their breakfasts when I went down. “It’s snowed!” I said.“We know.” Said Soo Ri. She put her spoon in her mouth and sucked on it, peering at me over the top of it. So……Hello December.I sat with them and ate my breakfast. “So mom, what’re you planning this month?” I asked, savoring the taste of bacon.“I’m inviting the Oh’s for dinner tomorrow night.” She said as she took a sip of her coffee latte.“What?” I asked surprisingly. “You mean…Minji and Mrs. Oh? C’mon mom, it’s okay if we just celebrate it without them.”Mom put down her cup of coffee and looked at me, “Minji’s mom and I have been close friends..so I invited them over for dinner.”“C’mon mom, it’s better if we jus---“ Mom cut me off, “It’s going to be a sit-down dinner. That’s it.”She said with a stiff voice and took a sip of her coffee latte again. I just rolled my eyes, accepting the fact that we will have a dinner with the Oh’s tomorrow night.“Will dad come?” I asked.Mom shook her head.“That’s good.” I replied. So this is it huh? Having a dinner with two people that I barely knew. While mom, they already are her close friends.I helped mom to cook some dishes for tonight. I can see the excitement in mom’s eyes as she places the plates and utensils on the table. Mom looked at the clock that’s on our wall, “Luhan, it’s already 6:30PM. Go change your clothes now. They’ll be here in any minute.”“Alright.” I replied as I finished putting some table napkins on top of the table.I went to my room and started to find some casual clothes in my cabinet. I take out a blue polo shirt and jeans.I was buttoning my polo shirt when I heard voices downstairs, they’re probably here. I hurriedly fix my messy hair as I took my steps downstairs. On Mrs. Oh’s hands, there’s a Pecan pie. Minji was holding a box of chocolate cupcakes.                        “Hi there Luhan.” Mrs. Oh greeted as she put the Pecan pie on the table. Minji bowed and smiled at me.She was wearing a simple plain pink dress with three pearls on the center but it fits her perfectly while her hair just flowed freely and stayed natural.Well, I think that people will notice her beauty if she tried to fix herself and wear some good clothes like she's wearing now. You see, I noticed that she barely wears these kinds of stuffs. At school, she's just wearing a simple casual clothes. You know, some kind of a Plain colored shirt and jeans.Yeah, our school doesn't require uniforms.        Soo Ri ran to Minji and wrapped her cute small arms around Minji’s waist. “Hello there little fella.” Minji said as she ruffles Soo Ri’s hair.Mom and Mrs. Oh greeted each other and talked, the same with Minji and Soo Ri. They all have their own worlds while me…let’s just say, I’m out of place.After a few minutes of talking, we finally gathered around the table where there were a lot of foo
