"Do you usually touch strangers on the first day you meet them?"
"Depends. It helps me imagine people better."
He took me to a park, not far away from my home. As soon as he mentioned the street and described the place, all the memories from my childhood came back. We sat down on a bench and stayed quiet for a while before I spoke up.
"See that cherry blossom tree?"
"How did you know it was there?"
"I used to come here with my mum when I was a kid."
"Did your parents use to describe everything around you? You know, so you can imagine what it looks like and stuff. "
"No. I used to be able to see it myself."
And he went quiet. No one said anything for a good few minutes.
"Do you think we can leave this for later? I don't really feel like doing it today."
"It's fine, Misun."
"It might not seem like a big deal but it is. At least for me."
"Should I take you home?"
"I live only few block from here. I can find it. Anyway, thank you for today Jackson. It was the best stranger meeting."
"But I'm not a stranger anymore."
"That's true."
Even though I couldn't see him, I could tell when he was smiling. He was very predictable with some of his actions.
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow, Jackson."
"Can't wait."
And with that I walked away, knowing the way to my house perfectly.
