Luna's story

I crossed 14 hours of flight to come home, and there was no one waiting for me. Luna stood in Incheon Airport with her small suitcase,lost in the crowd. After twenty years away, she finally returned to Seoul. She looked everywhere for her mother after getting her luggage,but she couldn't see her. She called her. No answer. Her heart sank. She tried again. Nothing. With a heavy feeling, she walked out of the airport to find a taxi. She didn't speak Korean very well anymore. After so many years in America, English was easier. So she just showed the address on her phone to the driver. The driver spoke fast in Korean and she only understood half of it. She just nodded. After one hour of driving through the bright lights to Seoul, the taxi finally stopped. She was home. She paid,got out, and took a deep breath in front of the small familiar house. Her hands were shaking. She knocked on the door. No answer. She knocked again, louder. Still no answer. She slowly opened the door. And there was a man she had never seen before, sitting in her mother's living room, looking at her like he was waiting for her .
