Sunday, May. Sunny.
In My Dream.
After lunch I sat in front of the living-room window and looked outside. The snow-white flowers on the magnolia trees had fallen and browned. Sprays of purple lilac had replaced them. The smell of lilac was a cloud over the entire neighborhood. It came in through the screens of the windows. I sat on the sofa, looking at the lilac trees outside. Suddenly I felt dizzy. I suppose I fell asleep but in my dream I was back in the living room. Subin, a girl I had a crush on who transferred to a school in Seoul, walked in through the door.
We went outside together for a long walk. We talked as we walked, not about anything important.
I have only two strong memories of the dream. One is of walked along a wall that’s outside of my house, running my fingers along it. The other is of the feeling of perfect calm I had while we walked. This feeling stayed with me even after I woke up. I hope she visits me again next Sunday.
  
Friday, June. Sunny.
On My Wat Home.
I used to walk to school in the morning, but my family moved. Now I usually take the bus in the morning, but I still like to walk home. There’s a stream that runs from school to my house. I follow it home every day. Today there was a fish swimming in it.
She was the size of my palm, and she was gorgeous. Her scales were a fieru golden-red. I had to catch her.
I took off my socks and shoes and waded into the stream. The water was cold, even though it was a hot day. Pebbles slid under my feet. The fish seemed like she was swimming slowly, but I had a lot of trouble getting close to her.
Finally, I pinned her against a rock with one palm. The water was up to my chest and I couldn’t use my other arm. For a minute or two neither of us moved. Then I let her go. I turned around, frowning, and waded back to shore.
