@hmhyemi​                   ❝  In every walk with nature one receives                                                        far more than he ( s e e k s ). ❞  — john muir

every once in a while, it is man’s desire to return to nature, to be in tuned with the land and seek peace from the earth’s blessing. eric tugged onto the straps of his backpack, holding onto sunwoo’s small hand as he walked, his instant camera (a gift from his parents during his apprenticeship back in the days, still in rather good condition if he would say so himself) hanging his neck from a make-shift pouch. 

the air in the forest smells of refreshing morning dew, so vastly different from the smells of lumber he’s so accustomed to on a daily basis. the walk through the forest to the lake wasn’t a too long one for adults like him, but when you have a young child and a puppy on the road, the pace was visibly slower, not that he minded.

if it gave him more time to enjoy the hike, he would gladly take it.

          “ the weather is great today. and the             smell of dew.  ah, what a blessing! ”

he hummed, casting a look to the younger trekking alongside them, her pet moving along the path all together. he couldn’t help the smile from growing across his features when his son started casting curious looks at the dog, having requested for one of his own for quite a while now. he shook his head, teasing a bit.

          “ i think sunwoo’s more interested in             your pup than the weather and trees             today. ”

“ The weather is great today. And the smell of dew. Ah, what a blessing!” 

 That was a statement Hyemi could just agree to. It was an incredible atmosphere, that the small group walked through. The sound of Sun woo's giggles and the small and light barks from Neugdae made her smile. 

Eric and his son where people she has grown very font of. Sun woo was a little sunshine and Hyemi couldn't help herself but care for him like a little brother. Eric was a precious friend to her who had a father like role in her life in Yeongdam.

“Funny how Neugdae is having the same reaction to Sun woo.” she had to giggle a little as her pup was walking next to the small boy, looking at him every once in a while, waging his tail in excitement. She loves days like these. Trips to the nature with some friends are golden moments to her.

“So how about we find a nice clearing and make a little stop so the both can play a little?”

The trusted One ~

It was a nice day, not too hot nor too cold and it wasn't too busy either.  Hyemi told her employee Wendy that she would take a short break and walked along the water for a little. The feeling of the sand between her toes and the ocean water around her feet was just so relaxing. The waves playing a symphony to accompany the feeling. She smiled closing her eyes and taking in the salty smell that hung in the air. These were the moments that gave her peace. 

 After 15 minutes she returned to the bar and told Wendy that she could take a break as well now. Some people were sitting at the tables enjoying their cold beverages and chatting so there was not much to do for the girl behind the counter. So she just scribbled on a piece of paper, doodling little shapes. But even that got boring after a few minutes.

So she just observed her surroundings again only to notice a figure walking through the sand, in the direction of her bar. The closer the person was coming, the better she could see who it was. Turns out it was a well known face around town. “Oh, hello Father Kim. What a nice surprise to see you here.” she greeted the man.

     He felt bad for her. That she was kind of lonely when the weather turned bad. I mean it wasn’t truly his job to babysit her in the winter or something, but he could understand that in the winter months there just wasn’t a lot to do if you worked almost nonestop the rest of the time.      Three months vacation is a pretty long time.      " If you ever find yourself in Marigold in the winter and you don’t have anywhere to go, step by the police station, and I’ll be there.“ He didn’t have to babysit her, but he definitely wanted to talk to her again, so he decided that it was okay to invite her to come over if she felt like it.      She was so kind as to offer him to show him around and weren’t it for his afternoon shift, he would’ve taken her up on her offer immediatly. "That sounds really nice of you— Hyemi, was it right? Tomorrow afternoon I’m free, if that sounds good to you? I’ll come by here when I’m done with my shift and then you can show me around for a bit?” He scratched the back of his neck again, but smiled at her.

[hmhyemi-blog]

She smiled at his nice offer. “Really? That is really kind of you Namjoon-ssi. I'll definitely try to take that offer, since I've only seen the Marigold town's police station from the outside and it makes my winter less boring”

His question made her giggle “Yeah, Hyemi is correct. I close at 5 p.m.  So we should be good to go with that plan.” a smile still on her face. “Then I guess I will see you tomorrow.”

In her head she already thought about the places to show him.  Yeongdam surely had some nice sights worth seeing and she tried not to forget one of them. She was already feeling excited to see him again the next day.

     She was right, the job was busy, but he loved doing it, so he never really paid mind to it. “I guess you’re right, but I like it enough so it never really bothered me.” He shrugged. “It keeps a man busy, I guess.” He took another sip of the coffee and cradled the cup in both hands.      "Sounds logical that it would close over winter, I mean, the beach closes in winter time as well, I assume. Not a lot of costumers.“ He stares at the coffee swirling in his cup as he rotates it.      He takes another sip and overthinks her question. "Well I know Marigold pretty good, over a year of patrol duty makes you learn an are pretty quickly, but I don’t know Yongdam that well beside the main streets. Which is quite a shame now I think about it.” He lowers his empty cup down on the bar and looks up at her to smile. “That was a nice cup of coffee, thank you.”

[hmhyemi-blog]

“That is the most important thing about a job right?” she smiled at him, “Having a certain passion, doing what you love. It makes even the worst days seem less bad. My Grandfather told me that when I was younger.” She mumbled the last part. 

 “Yeah, it does make sense. It'd just kind of sad since I don't have that much to do then, so sometimes the winter months seem a little lonely.” a small frown started forming on her face. Hyemi was used to seeing a lot of people and she loved it, but in winter they all stay at home most of the time.

“Marigold town is such a nice town. I am there a lot in winter since they have a library there.” She smiled again. “Oh, if you need a tour guide, I would be happy to show you around. But only if you want to of course.” she added the second sentence quickly not wanting to seem annoying or clingy. 

 As he thanked her for the coffee she just slightly nodded her head with a bright toothy smile on her face. “It was nice to meet you Officer Namjoon. Have a good day and I might see you around here soon?”

     Hyemi was endearing, it made him chuckle a bit when she called him ‘officer Namjoon’ and he kind of liked the sound of the title. Meanwhile Hyemi was buzzing around behind the counter, preparing the cappuccino for him, and Namjoon watched her while she asked him why he hadn’t been around before.      "Ah, actually I plan on only living in Yongdam temporarily. I work in Marigold at the police office instead of at Yongdam one.“ He scratched the back of his neck. "I haven’t had much time to explore Yongdam since I started. Travelling to and from Marigold takes up a little of my time, and if I do get home at night, I’m usually beat from a long day.” She finished his drink and placed it on the counter so he could see the lovely little bear design she created with the milk foam, he smiled, it was adorable. With one hand he grabbed the coffee cookie and took a bite, while the other hand took the spoon and started stirring the coffee, unfortunately, murdering the bear in process.      Namjoon watched it’s little bear face blend together like a gruesome version of a washing machine, while Hyemi told him a little about the backstory of, supposingly, her bar. He would’ve never guessed it was all hers, but he thought it was pretty great that she managed to set this all up herself.

[hmhyemi-blog]

Hearing his little story made her wonder how well he knew both towns, since it seemed like he was barely at any other place than the police station or the Yeongdam Inn. But he seems to have a passion for his job which Hyemi admired. She had to admit to herself that the uniform suited the handsome man in front of her quite well.

“Wow, it seems to be a pretty stressful job being a policeman here.“ she said absentmindedly while looking over his shoulder, at the ocean. “Seems like I have found a pretty relaxed job with the bar. I mean, sure we have some extra busy days but we are closed throughout the whole winter.” she told him pouting a little. She hated that fact, since she loves the beach but the bar just wasn't made to be open in the colder months of the year. 

 Hyemi shook the bad thought off quickly and changed the topic. “How well do you know both towns besides your work place and the Inn, Namjoon-ssi?“ She was really curious about his answer since she'd love to show him the beautiful sights of both towns, keeping contact with him and maybe getting to know him better though that.

“I spent the money that I saved up.”

“Aigoo, Nayeonnie what did you buy that you spend it all? Please don’t tell me new school books or I’ll be your bank from now on.” she looked at her with a serious face. But she couldn’t stay mad at the little angel for a long time. “Don’t worry if you need anything just come to me, okay?” she smiled at her patting Nayeon’s head lightly.

[hmhyemi-blog]

I can show you the world ☆ - Nayeon & Hyemi

[hmnayeon-blog]

piles and pages of assignments, hours of helping out in the inn, and community service — nayeon’s name and face was probably next to ‘over achiever’ in the dictionary. probably. despite of all that, she still made some time to keep herself sane(?).

sundays are great because they seem to be her most relaxed day of the week — it was church day. the zealous girl didn’t mind coming to church; in fact, she likes it and the people that she is surrounded with. though others might find coming every week a bore or tedious, nayeon started coming to church on her own will alone at a very young age. these people were like her family and the harvest goddess was her savior.

although, having such a relaxed mind for too long was hardly settling. being a nursing major was damaging her social life and hacking its way to her working schedule, and even though she was on break, that didn’t mean she had a break. 

walking out of church with a heavy heart, she spotted hyemi waving at her. “hey!” she grinned at the other, “um—wait, huh?” her eyebrows furrowed together with the sudden news of her newly given off day. “i–uh, okay!” she exclaimed but was sure that she had a hint if question in her words.

[hmhyemi-blog]

With the okay of Nayeon, Hyemi took her hand leading the way. She was ready to show her some fun activities besides the ones she already did. “So, let's go to the grocery store and get some ingredients. I have something fun in mind.” she grinned.

Little did Nayeon know that Hyemi recently received a package from her parents with a lot of Japanese goodies and some new recepies to try. Hyemi was planning to try to make some Melonpan with her friend. “I hope you'll like my idea” Hyemi mumbled as they walked through the store to get the ingredients. 

 The recipe was actually not that hard but Hyemi was nervous never the less. What if it will turn out totally bad? If attempt number one will already fail how will she get Nayeon out of her shell? Hyemi threw an apron at Nayeon 

“Catch! Now let us try to make some Japanese pastries together.”

[hmhyemi-blog]

“Do it just to please me.”

“I can try to do that but making homemade candy will be pretty hard for me, as I never did something like that.” she scrached her neck, “But would a good milkshake make up for it?” she asked, forming a peace sign with her hand.

[hmhyemi-blog]

“Don’t leave the saving to anyone else, ever.”

“Ahh don’t worry Im Mingxi-ssi. I’ll keep them save for sure.” she smiled at her trying to show that she is totally honest.

Lost little wolf ~ Taehyung & Hyemi

It was a busy day at the Beach Bar for Hyemi. The perfect summer weather made a lot of people come to the beach to enjoy the day. Of course if was good for the business but she liked to get little break once in a while. She noticed that her employee couldn't handle this alone either and seemed just as stressed.

Hyemi felt bad one for having her employee be so stressed and for not being able to look after Neugdae her Jindo puppy who was now waiting for his midday walk. “Poor little one just hold it a little longer and I'll be there” her look on his little hut in the back of the bar, where he usually went, when it was as hot as today.

After two more hours of stress the crowd thinned out a bit and Hyemi said to Wendy that she would look for Neugdae really quick. As she was close to the hut she called out his name. “Neugdae! Hey my little wolf, are you alright?”

She was shocked to see that her pup was now where to be seen. Worries hit her like a tsunami. What if he got hurt? What if he starves or dehydrates? Will she be able to find him? She was shaking and soon tears found the way to her eyes. Neugdae was her everything and now he was gone.

{ * smell of the sea

                “i’m so dead, i’m so dead.”

 she mumbled more toward herself, running with all of her energy to the direction of the beach in yongdam village. she didn’t know what was wrong with her but for some reasons, she found out that she was one hour late for work. it was 8 AM already and she was supposed to open the place on 7 AM- wendy was a dead meat now, she could feel it for sure. even though she doubt that hyemi would get mad at her for being late, because yeah- the owner of seabreeze could be too nice sometimes- but still! wendy would totally feel bad because of all of this. 

                   without her knowing about it, she was actually wrong. 

the night before, she changed her clock into one hour earlier on purpose, with a plan that she could wake up earlier on the next day- but being a forgetful person like the usual, she really thought that she was late when she was… well, actually no- she wasn’t late. it was 6.30 in the morning while in wendy’s brain, she thought it was 8 already. finally arriving in front of the door of sea breeze, the brown haired female was trying her best to control her breath as she slowly tried to open the door- wait, it’s unlocked already? and as soon as she opened the door, she directly met with hyemi’s beautiful eyes. with still a thought that she was late, she quickly bowed down deeply. 

                    “i’m sorry for being late !!! it won’t happen again !!”

It was still pretty early around 5:30 a.m to be exact. A time where Hyemi would still be sleeping but due to some stupid unknown she woke up and could't find her way back into dreamland. So she decided to make her way to Sea-Breeze Bar.

 As she rode her bike to the beach port, the sun was still in the process of rising. It looked like a beautiful painting with its bright shades of yellow, orange, red and a hint of pink all blended into a pretty ombre.

Setting up everything only took about 30 minutes. After that she made herself a cappuccino and sat down to enjoy the view and the sound of the waves. But even that still did not take up enough time till she could open the bar so she went inside to get some paper to think of new ideas for different Ice Tea flavors as well as the fact that she thought about offering milkshakes but she was still debating on that. 

 The door bursts open just as Hyemi was about to go outside again. The view in front of her was quite an amusing sight. Her employee Wendy stood in front of her in a 90° bow while apologizing for being late. Hyemi couldn't help but giggle at the behavior of the younger girl. “Aii Wendy get up you aren't late you are rather early do you even know that? It is only 6:30 a.m. So you still have half an hour.” she patted the girls head while smiling widely at her.

     "I would like a cappuccino to start off the day, thank you.“ He fumbled with his wallet to take out a 5000 won bill and place it on the counter. "Nice to meet you Hyemi, I’m Namjoon.” He smiled as he watched her work, then averted his eyes to look around the establishment, and noticed how open and light the establishment felt, like it crossed over seemlessly into the beach outside. “Yeah, you could say I’m kind of new? I mean I’ve been in town for more than a year now, but compared to life long generations of families, that’s nothing.” He mumbled, fascinated by the design of the establishment. “This is a gorgeous bar, Hyemi-ssi, have you been around here for long?” She must’ve been longer here than him, judging that she probably knows all the current costumers by name and face.

[hmhyemi-blog]

“A capppuccino for Officer Namjoon is on the way.” She smiled at him while preparing the bevarage.

“Wow you've been here for a year already? How come I've never seen you around here?” She made a small design on his cappuccino with the milk, placed a small biscuit on the side and placed it in front of him. “Voila, there you go.” She blushed a little at his compliment of how pretty the bar was. “Thank you Namjoon-ssi, I'm glad you like it. It used to be my Grandfathers beach shop but I rearanged it and made a few changes to transform it into a bar. I'm living in Yeongdam for two and a half years now. But I used to stay over almost every holiday when I was a kid, since my grandparents used to live here.”

“So what brought you here Mr. Officer?” she leaned her elbow on the bar, her head on her hand, looking couriously at the interesting new costumer of hers.

[hmhyemi-blog]

- “Do it just to please me.” ;

“Eh?” she was speachless at his statement.” But why? Was work that bad today?” she looked at him a little worried. “Okay I’ll do it. As long as it brightens your day a little” she sight and then took a deep breath. “Namjoon Oppa, please enjoy this drink and take some time to rest. Otherwise I’ll have to worry. Pyong ~” with that she formed a little heart with her thumb and her pointer finger.

[hmhyemi-blog]

“It’s in my blood - I just can’t help it.”

“Oh don’t worry sweety we all have our clumsy moments. Come on I’ll help you clean up and after that I’ll make you your favorite Ice Tea, how does that sound?” she asked the slightly younger girl and starts to clean up the oh so small mess that was created by dropping a cup of lemonade. “Please don’t worry too much.” she reasured her.

[hmhyemi-blog]

“I don’t even like it. ”

“I understand that completly. Waking up early is such a bummer. To leave the nice and cozy bed is a pretty hard task to do. But I have to get up early every day except of mondays. And throughout the whole winter I could just sleep likea bear then if I wanted too.” Hyemi ginns at the girl trying to lighten the mood that seems to suffer by the need of the early rising.
