"What's wrong with
your face?" I was embarrassed to see my husband who surprised opening the
door. “Why? What's on my face?” “You've got line marks on your face. Oh, the
left side too." Looking into the mirror, the right side had a deep line
mark that was all the way down to the chin, and the left side had a line mark
was from outside of the eye to the chin. "That's why people looked at me
in the subway."
Even though it was time
to sleep, the repressed marks remained. Oh! I wonder if this will never gone
and leave it as a scar? I couldn't fall asleep with worry.
My younger son bought
me an hour-and-a-half body massage coupon calling it a ‘Mother's Day gift.’ He
bought it for half the price of a spa pass. It is a place where decent stylish
people come in and out of near Central Park. The atmosphere was good with quiet
music and gentle coolies of the scent.
I was led into a dark
room and buried my face in a perforated pillow. I was tired of touching gently,
though I wish the masseuse could make me massage a little stronger. I couldn't
complain in a decent place and fell asleep thinking about the open-air Ondol
room that was set up in my friend's garden.
Friend's house in Los
Angeles is full of fruit trees and plants. Every morning, she picks up a cup of
coffee and talks to the trees, starts the day, and then, at night, she lies in
an outdoor Ondol room, chasing the stars.
Korean Ondol or
Jjimjilbang would be better. Having slept with a distorted face full of
discontent in a perforated pillow, there was no choice but to be imprinted.
“Mom, did you like it?" I said, "that's okay. But next time, you'll
give me something else." "Why?" "I want to try it all
out."
Looking at the crushed
facial marks in the mirror, I remembered going to a Japanese restaurant with an
acquaintance. As soon as a large boat carrying sashimi was landing on the
table, an acquaintance pressed a chopstick against each type of sashimi. It's
like identifying freshness. The fresh fish immediately returns to its original
shape as soon as it is pressed, and what is not fresh remain as it is
pressed," a lengthy explanation continued.
