What have you done to prepare for Chuseok? Has your family prepared for it?

My daughter is my only family. The only preparations she’s done is be excited about the holiday. I, on the other hand, have been making a lot of food for her to enjoy and to leave at my mother’s grave.

Do you enjoy celebrating Chuseok? Why?

My daughter gets so excited about it that I can’t help but feel excited with her. I love seeing her happy little face. If she’s happy that’s all I need in life.

Is there anything you dislike about Chuseok? Why?

Growing up I disliked it because I didn’t have my mother to celebrate with and my father always locked himself away. It was very lonely for me and I was incredibly jealous of all the other kids celebrating with their families. Now I have my daughter to celebrate with so my feelings about the Chuseok holiday have changed. I do wish she had her father to celebrate with though.

What will you do on Chuseok and who will you spend it with?

We packed up the food I made and went to my mother’s grave and ate with her. Aera talked to her a lot and told her about her days at school and even tried feeding her by holding up food to her grave marker. It was really adorable and I think my mother’s spirit enjoyed the holiday with us too. 

where is your home located? Are you stressed about Chuseok? How is your family environment at home and how big is your family that will be gathering?

I am from Busan but my home is here in Wonyang now. Chuseok isn’t stressful since I only have myself and my daughter to worry about. Our home life is good, way way better than the home life I had as a child. My family is only my daughter.

Do you have any food allergies that you may need to stay away from?

Neither me or my daughter have any food allergies.

Now that Yongdeok and Songcheon are somewhat ghost towns during this holiday, how do you feel about this? Do you miss the hustle and bustle, or are you excited to have a little elbow room?

I prefer it a little more empty. I don’t have to worry so much about Aera and hold her so tightly to me worried she’ll get lost in a sea of people.

❈ ⋯ Where Amora had found Eunbi, she was in one of the playrooms for the younger children or those that couldn’t play outside for health reasons. Currently there was about four other children in the room. So there was, sitting at one of the tables, coloring with one of the toddlers. Hearing a familiar voice she looked up and smiled at the sight of one of her close friends, then to her daughter. ❝ Amora! Ah– and Aera~ You’re getting so big~  ❞ She cooed, excusing herself from the table to get up and greet them properly. 

 ❝ The other kids are outside, or in the other playroom with another caretaker. But, you will be helping me today. Once the rest come in, the school age children need to get to studying before they have lunch, uhm.. ❞ She paused, trying to remember what she was told to do today with Amora.  ❝ Ah! We have to go to the infant wing and help the nurses out with feeding and changing them as the other kids are having lunch. Then we participate in some activities with the kids which I tend to have more fun than I should when we do that…heh. ❞ Eunbi scratched the back of her head nervously, finding it could be embarrassing to admit, but she genuinely loved her job even if it was difficult. ⋰

Aera giggled happily in response to her ‘aunt’ Eunbi’s attention. Amora gave her a gentle push into the room, “Go on and play honey.” Her daughter didn’t skip a beat and ran inside to play with the other kids. She spent a good amount of time with the kids at the orphanage so she knew them well enough. Playing with them was something she usually looked forward to. 

Amora smiled at her daughter’s eagerness to play with the other children. At one point she was really nervous that her daughter would turn out to be shy but it wasn’t the case really, she warmed up fast. “Okay, lead the way.” She held out her arms to allow Eunbi to go first. “It’s okay, I always have a really fun time playing with Aera. Kids are fun.”

Baking was one of Amora’s favorite hobbies, not that she had a sweet tooth, but all of the fun ways to decorate the sweets was definitely pleasing. So it was fairly obvious how much she loved her job at the Lazy Cat cafe where she could create little pastries in the kitchen for the customers. At one point she hoped to be able to do a monthly special pastry but she wasn’t really in the position to bring that up with her boss just yet. 

It was morning time and everyone was prepping to open the shop. The pastries and other foods from the previous day had been thrown out during the night, leaving their display cases empty. Thankfully, it was Amora’s job to fill them. After getting out the ingredients and tools necessary for her first creation, Amora pulled on her apron and got to work. As she was combining the ingredients she realized something was missing. Sugar! The sugar was no where to be found.

Amora searched around the kitchen for some but couldn’t find any. Both she and her hands were a mess from some accidental spills and she didn’t want to go out into the cafe area in such a state. “Can someone bring me some sugar?!” Amora yelled into the main room, hoping that someone would hear her and bring the ingredient. Otherwise they’d have to mop the floor all over again.

A private starter for @amorawy.

He exits the vehicle with a satchel in one hand and keys in the other, in the spot inadvertently reserved for the prosecutor at the complex. Songcheon’s residential district bore resemblance to a maze, its labyrinthine of buildings brimming with activity at dusk. Scores of children chirping and flooding playground equipment were commonplace, amid hushed gossip and the occasional powwow for the elderly. It rarely entertained the man who deviated from conversation; the death of his wife and child were responsible for his behavior.

Jung-min is too engrossed in his balancing act to acknowledge the neighbor in his peripheral, the woman he recognized solely by child. He and her daughter became acquainted after a chance encounter weeks before his wife’s untimely passing; she was one of few residents who showed unconditional kindness to the widow– her mother was lucky. As Jung-min approaches his building, arms laden with work, the toddler’s quivering voice calls to him with formality. He looks in the direction of her voice, and watches as the nimble child closes the distance between them, lowering on his haunches to meet the girl at eye level with a smile.

❝ Good evening, Ae-ra…what’s wrong? ❞ The warmth Jung-min exhibited wanes when he sees Ae-ra’s cheeks stained with tears. Paternal intuition has him reaching for the handkerchief in his breast pocket to dry her face with tender passes. ❝ Is everything okay? ❞

Today had started off as a normal day, Amora dropped Aera off at daycare and proceeded to head to work. Nothing was out of the ordinary until they returned home for the day and discovered that their pet cat was missing. They must’ve left the door open somehow. Aera couldn’t stop her crying and Amora’s heart broke. “It’s okay, we’ll find him!” she said trying to comfort her distressed daughter. 

“Let’s look around the house and outside okay? Maybe he’s around here.” Amora suggested. After a search of inside the house had turned up with no cat, they switched to outside. Amora left her daughter to stand by the door in case the cat came back while she went and looked around outside. She trusted their neighbors so leaving Aera there was no issue. Unfortunately her search around the building also came up with nothing.

Her heart was heavy and she trudged back to her apartment to tell her daughter they’d have to extend their search. The chances of them actually finding him far away from their home were slim but she wouldn’t give up, not when her daughter was so devastated. As she returned she found Aera talking to one of their neighbors. “Our kitty is gone!” Aera bawled out loudly.

Amora ran over to the two of then and kneeled down. “Don’t cry, don’t cry! He’s probably just out visiting some friends.” She rubbed her daughter’s back in an attempt to comfort her and turned towards Jungmin, “Thanks for taking care of her while I was out.” She tried to smile to show her thanks but she was just as upset over the issue as her daughter. It was nice that her neighbors also looked out for her daughter, that at least made the situation a little better. “I’ll go look for him some more okay?” Amora said to her daughter as she joined in trying to dry her tears using her hand.

small bags consumed the girls hands as she made her way towards amora’s floor. it wasn’t uncommon for the girl to splurge on items every now and then, especially when she had more than enough funds for the splurge. more often than not she could be found in the mall feverishly scanning the racks for a clothing item she had found in her magazines or hunched over her computer screen and ordering items with express shipping. 

today was different however. she had casually strolled through the mall and found a particular clothing item that had reminded her too much of amora. from the one clothing item came another and soon, jiwoo was walking out of the building with more than enough bags of clothing items no person ever needed.

she moved the bags, settling them down in front of her as she moved her hand to knock on the apartment door.  

“amora!” she called as she knocked again. “it’s me! please open up. i think the neighbors are looking at me funny.”

The week had been hectic. Amora had been swamped with exams and Aera had been sick, resulting in her apartment being a complete mess. With her daughter in bed, she didn’t want to run the vacuum cleaner in fear that it would wake her up but now that she was fully recovered it was time to clean. Dust had piled up and the trash was overflowing, toys were scattered about and dishes had taken over the sink. 

First to be done were the dishes. Now that Aera was feeling better, Amora wanted to make her favorite food tonight which would also require Amora to start cooking it now. Her plan was to have the food cooking while she cleaned the rest of the house. Trash bags were piled up by the door ready to be taken out and she was now vacuuming up the dust that had fallen on the floor due to dusting. She didn’t hear the first knock due to the noise of the vacuum cleaner but was alerted when she heard a familiar voice shouting from the other side.

She turned the device off and answered the door, shocked to find Jiwoo standing there with a boat load of bags. “Jiwoo! What are you doing here? Come in!” Amora beckoned her inside and held the door open. “Do you need me to help you with your bags?”

Between school, work and volunteering Amora didn’t have much time to see her beloved daughter, Aera. Most of the time, Aera was at daycare or playing with the children at the orphanage where Amora volunteered or she was at home napping. Her daughter was all she had in her life and it broke her heart to not be able to spend every waking moment with her.

On one particularly clear and sunny day, Amora came to the decision to take the day off from work and school to spend the day with her tiny daughter. Their destination was none other than O-world. Going to an amusement park was the first for the both of them. As a little girl herself, Amora had been promised a trip but with her mother’s passing it became a forgotten thought. 

Now was the perfect time to go; the weather was perfect and the two desperately needed to spend time with each other. While Aera was too small to ride most of the rides, it didn’t stop her and Amora from enjoying the ones they could go on. Sure, a big roller coaster would be fun but the little kiddie rides weren’t so bad, especially after hearing her daughter’s pure and genuine laughter.

About half way through their day at the park, Aera had wanted a balloon. She had seen another child carrying one and begged Amora for a big bright yellow one. It took a while for them to find the balloon stand but of course she had no problem pulling out her wallet to make her daughter’s day that much better. “You have to hold it tight so it doesn’t fly away.” Amora warned as they started to make their way to get lunch. 

That’s when it happened. Of course her daughter’s tiny little hands would soften up on their grip, allowing the string on the balloon to slip right out of them. “Mommy my balloon!” she cried out. Tears were already forming in her eyes and Amora was not going to let her daughter go without that balloon. “Hold on, stay right here! I’ll go get it for you!” Without thinking, Amora dashed off in the direction of the balloon. Luckily for her, it didn’t get too far or go up too high and she was able to grab it.

She turned around and headed back to the spot she had left her daughter, which wasn’t very far. “Here, I got it! Don’t cry~” she said to her daughter, who she expected to be right in that very spot. However, she wasn’t. Amora’s heart began to race and her eyes widened as she quickly looked around. Aera was no where. “Aera?! Aera!!” She searched around the area, hoping her daughter had gone to sit down without thinking but to no avail. 

“Excuse me have you seen my daughter?” “Sir have you seen a little girl around here?” “Ma’am you haven’t seen a little girl wondering around by herself have you?” She frantically asked everyone she saw but to no avail. None of them had seen the little girl and Amora felt like she was going to be sick. How could no one have seen her? What if she somehow got out of the park? Could no one help her?

Growing up, Amora had a lot of trouble when it came to the relationship with her father and the bad crowd she would mostly hang out with. However, Eunbi wasn’t one of them and was actually someone that Amora could rely on. Eunbi was a year younger than her so she felt like her little sister and that gave Amora great comfort. After moving to Wonyang and having her daughter, Amora decided to open up her own daycare and thus began attending Wonyang University to pursue that goal.

Luckily, her sister-like friend, Eunbi, had also pursued this degree and was working at an orphanage. So not only did she have Eunbi there for emotional support but also for advice and help with school work. In fact, she even had the day planned where she would go to the orphanage and help Eunbi with her work. It wasn’t the first time she had done this since they both agreed it would look great on her resume and be good for experience and plus her daughter, Aera loved to play with the other children there.

Upon arriving, Amora entered the building and went to find Eunbi, holding Aera’s hand the entire time. “Hey!” her voice was bubbly as she peeked into a room containing Eunbi. “I’m here! What’s the agenda for today?” She picked Aera up and used her hip to help hold her as she fully entered the room. Since she was overprotective of her daughter, she didn’t like to let her go until she had found the other kids.
