I hesitate. I don’t really want to go. But I don’t want to make Mommy worry more, either.
I turn to the boy. “I have to go,” I say in careful English, making sure to pronounce everything correctly. I wave goodbye.
“Oh.” He looks disappointed, but he waves back.
I hate seeing him let down. As Ms. Lim leads me away, I look at him over a shoulder and say, “But if I see you later, I’ll play Schubert for you again.”
His expression doesn’t change, so I don’t know if he heard me. But I do hope I run into him again sometime.

Cultural Notes
Note 1: The Envelopes
“Leave my (son/daughter/boyfriend/girlfriend/fiance/fiancee)” is a classic scene in Korean chaebol or billionaire romances, especially when the heroine isn’t from a similar background. It can also happen when the guy isn’t rich. It usually involves throwing water at the other person and/or throwing an envelope with a cashier’s check inside. Sometimes the envelope contains the deed to a piece of real estate (usually a building in Seoul). The payoff is almost always in a white envelope.
