"today...it's today...this is gonna take a day to spend...."
the three-year-old Jennie Kim says without a hint of excitement...she sighs in frustration...
"mom..why do I have to come?"
she says in an insignificant voice...
"honey...it's my big day we didn't come all the way to Japan for nothing"
ย ย ย she explains as she caresses the tiny girl's head gently.
"but mom..you know I have no interest in volleyball, you should have taken Mirai instead of me!"
she uttered, as she pouts and crosses her arms in frustration.
"baby, you said you want to go to Thailand after the national volleyball competition."
ย ย ย ย her mom explains, cautiously attempting not to make the girl mad.
"ugh...fine mom...I'm not gonna complain anymore.."
she gawks at her mom in defeat.
"..okay let's go.."
ย ย ย ย ย ย her mom mumbles as she clasps the tiny girl's hand gently.

as I shuffle down the packed hall with my mother's hand entwined with mine....a whiff of salonpas blows my nose...every stride I seized managed to make me gape....why do people appreciate volleyball so greatly?...why is it so valuable?...
"Jennie..we are here"
my mother declares as she beams
softly to me...
as she swings the double-entry of the court..open..my eyes dilate...the arena, the glint of lights ...it created my eyes gleam...it was astonishing...the wild slam making me frightened.
my gaze marvels at the rough noise that brought about my tension to kick in...it was a ball...a shiny white, blue, and yellow sphere...
a woman in blue and white...tosses the ball up...as she jumps and lunges her arms up to undergo the impact of the ball...as she strikes the ball...it stretches out to the other side of the net with impressive strength...the partaker on the other team declares
"mine!"
as she receives
the ball.
my jaw plunged to the floor...
as she obtains the ball, she tosses it to another player....the woman had white splints all over her hands...
as the ball meets her fingers...
"I have seen this before...it's called a set"
she throws the ball up...while another woman zoomed towards the ball...jumping up...as she whacks the ball down on the floor of the further side of the net...it curves like a beautiful manuscript...
"mom I think I'm in love..."
as I said that my mom gapes at me with expansive eyes and a delightful smile.
"See I told you volleyball is fun!"
she says with motivation.
"mom when we go to Thailand..can I talk to lalisa," I say to my mom with my eyes fixed to the game in front of me..for the first time I yearned for something...I wanted to leap and feel the collision on my palm as I float in the air...I want to feel the sweat burn my eyes as I jump the highest pinnacle of my small body...my eyes glowed when I said...
"I want to play volleyball..."
as I said that my mom's eyes widen at the certainty that I wanted to do something distinct than study..but it felt remarkable...
volleyball...I wanted to do everything pertained to volleyball... I needed to learn...
at that moment all I wished for
to accomplish is to...
FLY HIGH.

all I could hear was the sound of people wailing as I settle on the front column of the bleacher's ...as I observe the players one by one...my gazes lands on a girl on the other side of the bleacher's..she looks the same age as me...her eyes had an iridescent sparkle under the lights of the court..as I proceeded.. glancing at her, she perked up and saw me peering at her...she flared me a soulful gummy smile that could make anyone shrivel...my father called my name.
"Taehyung my son."
he said as I sever the gaze with the girl in front of me...
"yes..father," I say as I address him with my hands in my pocket.
"We are leaving you're going back to Korea next week..we still need to do more stuff," he announces as we walk side by side heading out the corridors...
I'll see her again...
right...
