"JiYin! What were you thinking packing all these useless stuff for a camp?" I screamed at her. High heeled shoes, dresses, make-up kits, magazine and comic books filled almost 80% of her backpacks.

"What?" she murmured.

I shook my head and sighed, "Never mind, I'll repack them for you."

We were at JiYin's room, I stopped by an hour earlier than expected because I knew something like this would happen. She's such a baby. I sat on her bed and slowly took out all the useless stuff while she was looking inside mine.

"Oh wow! MiHi, can you give me this sparkling pebble? It's so preeeeety!" she exclaimed.

I froze, sparkling..pebble? I quickly got up on my feet, snatched the pebble out of her hand and kept in my pocket.

"Sorry, I can't," I replied. After that, I couldn't concentrate. I was hoping that JiYin never found out about it. Because everytime I opened my heart to others about it, i got teased and laughed at, some even said I made it up.

It was clear that she was shocked at my reaction, this was the first time she saw me so flustered. Curiousity was burning in her and when she couldn't take it any longer, she asked.

I hesitated a little, I was really afraid she wouldn't believe me. But I know if I don't tell her now, she would know I'm hiding things from her and it would ruin our friendship. I made my decision, I told her.

"It happened 10 years ago, when I was living with my parents. One day, mom brought a boy home and said that he would be my friend. I was very anti-social when i was young. So mom thought that maybe he could help me. He was a very bubbly person; a very hyper person; nothing seemed to be able to bring him down. He tried many ways and means to get to me. Eventually, an anti-social person like me also opened up my heart to him. He stayed at my house and we had lots of fun together. Life couldn't be any happier." Without realising, I smiled remembering the fun times we had.

"But one day, he said he had to go, and he gave me this pebble, saying that he would come back for me. And then, he left me. I felt so helpless and lost. My only friend was gone, i was all alone again. I cried day and night. My mom couldn't take my crying so she brought me here to live with Mrs Yang and the rest you should know. Until today, there's no news of him, I didn't even know his name, he wouldn't tell me." My vision was getting blurred and tears started trekking down my cheeks. I really missed him. He was the only person who tried so hard to be my friend, i was touched by him.

Even though JiYin was always abit hyper active and couldn't sit still, she managed to. She really listened to my story and didn't even interrupted me once. She got up and hugged me. "I sorry for making you tell me such sad things, I didn't know it was like that. I also thank you for telling me, I feel closer to you now."

I smiled. I guess at times JiYin does take the role of an unnie after all.

"So if you didn't know his name, then how do you call him?"

[-flashback-]

I finally gave up repelling him. I just couldn't. Seeing the way he tries so hard to get my attention and the effort he put in, I just couldn't bear it. I'm anti-social but not cruel. So my first friend in my life, what an interesting boy.

"Erm, so what's your name?" i asked.

"You can me anything you want."

"Eh? I don't know...Why don't i just call you oppa? Since you're older than me."

"No, no, that's so typical. Hmm..why don't you call me....seobang?"

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"Err.. It's a..name! Call me seobang."

"Ye~ Seobang oppa."

"Aniyo aniyo. Only seobang."

"Huh? Okay. Seobang."

He looks nervous when he suggested that name. I wonder why but I better not do anything to upset him. I'll ask next time.

[-end of flashback, btw seobang means husband-]

I couldn't help it but giggle. JiYin raised an eyebrow, "What's so funny?"

"Seobang, i called him seobang." then i couldn't hold it any longer and laughed out loud. JiYin kept asking me why i called him that.

I avoided her question by distracting her, "Okay, we're ready to go!" and we left JiYin's house.

The person at the registration counter said to meet at the entrace of Silent Woods. I was surprised at the choice of place because it wasn't called Silent Woods for nothing. It was said that sounds can't travel in there, even if you scream, no sound can be heard.

During the ride there, JiYin couldn't stop talking about how exciting the camp would be. And I too, joined in her craziness. I was relieved and feeling extremely elated that finally someone believed me. Little did we know that this marks the end of our peaceful and normal life and we were headed to a place so much different from now.
