Soju Night

Last night, since I finally felt well enough not to go straight to bed and stay there until noon the next day, I stayed up with Kris. After everyone else had gone to sleep, we rifled through the secret cupboards (that are too high for Eun-hyuk to find) and put out mangoes, chips, crackers, and a bottle of soju. We talked and laughed for hours.

Just as we were getting into our third shot of soju, we heard something. Eun-hyuk was toddling out of his room, looking for his mommy. At first he looked upset, like he wanted her to comfort him. Then he spotted what we were up to, specifically the shrimp-flavored chips we had out. An impish grin broke out over his face while Kris tried to distract him. While she made up a story about a wolf outside the window, I quickly stuffed the food under the table. She finally managed to shoo him back to bed, and we broke down laughing.

Later, Sunghun joined us. I think this was because we woke him up with our impromptu karaoke session. Kris wanted to hear Park Jaebeom's version of "Nothin' On You," so I taught her the magic of Youtube. Then we kept finding new songs, looking up lyrics, and singing softly along.

I think I will go to Suwon on Thursday, which makes this my second-to-last day in Seoul. I'd better make it count, so I'm busting out my guidebook and trying to find a place I haven't been yet. I'll tell you about it tonight!
