Korean BFF

Today at school the English department was given some time off in the afternoon for some teacher bonding. Unfortunately, Michelle could not join us so it was just Myung and I. I work directly with Myung and I am so grateful that I get to teach with her. Her English is really good and we spend most of our free time talking about our lives. She is a mother of a 16 month old boy, a wife, and career woman. I really admire her because no matter what is going on with her she always has a smile on her face. Myung has been talking about going to the movies for a few weeks now and today was the day. We were on a mission to see an American movie because the Korean movies do not have subtitles. We arrived at the movie theater around 2:30pm and just missed a set of movie showings and the next movie showings weren't until another two hours. Myung suggested we go to the DVD Cinema, it's a small cinema where you pick out a dvd and watch it in your own personal room. I suggested seeing a Korean movie and we decided on a Portrait of Beauty. Myung was really excited to see the movie she said it is a really popular movie in Korea. This movie was outstanding I followed it via subtitles the story takes place in 1758, it is about a woman disguised as a man who is a painter for the king and then falls in love with a peasant if you can imagine DRAMA. So the movie ends and I look over at Myung and she is fast asleep...lol. She jumps up when she realizes the movie is over and is sad that she missed the ending so I had to explain the ending to her. Just when I thought our day was over Myung asked me if I wanted to meet her son. Of course I said yes. We went to pick up her son Kyu Min (큐민) from day care she was so excited for me to meet him. When Kyu Min saw Myung he ran to her with a huge smile on his face and just laughed. Myung introduced us and told him to say hello Latanya and he just giggled and smiled after a few minutes Kyu Min warmed up to me and before you knew it he was giving me high fives and waiving. We hung out until Myung had to go home and cook dinner for her husband (what a good wife...lol). I was so elated I got to spend time with her outside of school I can't wait for our next adventure.
