Dina: The Girl I Wish I Was
Dina, a girl with the universe in her soul, galaxies in her mind and constellation in her eyes that refuse to stop its shine. She is set to start a new life in Seoul after immense compulsion from her best friend Aria; leaving behind her house, her past, mysterious disappearance of her parents. At first, she was afraid and unsure about starting a new life as she knew she was being watched but then she sets fire to everything that held her back, which made her weak and stepped on the ashes to become someone who she always wanted to.
She realized that a fresh start was hers for the taking, that she'd be the woman she has already seen on the distant horizon-her future self.
Her aesthetic is dope, she's all sorts of stop and stares. The moment she sets her foot in the Seoul university, she gets doomed.

~Aria, a best friend who's always there for her no matter what.

~Dina, who is afraid to love and to be loved.

...Dina's P.o.v...
Wednesday morning, birds chirping, my room glowing, thanks to the bad daylight entering through the windows, burning me to hell. What an earthly morning. But, I just sit there, not moving simply staring at my toes like a stupid maniac. It's just I don't understand what to fucking do with my stupid, moronic life.
My thoughts were dropped by a woman, who just banged open the door and came in. "Take a shower before you turn into a grilled chicken" she barked throwing a towel over my face. "You haven't showered for..." she started counting with her fingers like a preschooler doing her addition. "3..4......5 DAYS!!" she screamed angrily. And of course, after everything we have been through, I expected her to be mad.
I stared at her, with no emotion, letting her take all her anger over me. "I-I just want you to com-" I interrupted her. "NO! Aria, we discussed this last night. I don't want to come. I don't know anybody there and I love it here. Do you understand?" I demanded, storming out of the room and getting into the bathroom. I can hear her footsteps behind me, although I was fast enough, close the door before she gets in.
On the other hand, I am truly tired of making her understand. We are the best friends who everyone dreams they were. We fight, yell, throw things at each other but this fight? I don't know till when it will last. We've been arguing for a month, haven't hangout since then, we argue every time we face each other and that's the reason I imprisoned myself in my room. She is my bosom buddy, who understands me more than I know myself. "Yah!! I'll be there and is that not enough for you? Mom wants us to come home" she yelled outside the bathroom.
I soberly didn't want to go, we've been living in Australia for 19 years. I've not left the country since then. And mum dad on the other hand lives in Seoul. We both did our schooling in Australia and we also graduated high school, now it's time to go to university. And Aria decided to study in Seoul with me. "But Aria! What about the house? I don't want to leave" I questioned wishing to not leave.
When no one was there to take care of me, it's this house that refreshed me with joy and happiness. When nobody was there to even listen to my tears, it's this house that listened to me when I hurt in the dark, even though there were no words but just silence, which I craved the most.
My Father made this dream house which I drew when I was just five years old. This house is my everything. "I have told Rene to take care of this house, no need to worry about that," she clarifies. "She said, that she'll clean the house every month also asked the maids to stay here and take care of our farm" she went on. Wow, everything has been taken care of, she made 0 reasons for me to worry.
I still think of something which she missed. There's NONE! "Okay," I declare giving up. I carried on with washing myself up, "Kerry!! Help me pack the bags, also ask Rene to finalize our tickets" shouts Aria.
Why is that I don't want to leave this place? Why am I too terrified to leave? Buckle up y'all, it's storytime. I am Dina, an orphan, I am a single child, my mother disappeared the day I was born, lived with dad for 5 years and he disappeared as well, leaving me with nothing but this house he made for me. I don't recognize my mum's face, no pictures, no portraits. Their disappearance is still a mystery. Some say they are dead, some say they ran away with the money.
I have no idea what to reckon and what not to. Ms Rene's dad, Mr Chan took care of me, he signed me up for adoption just the day before someone I think I know tried to push me off the bridge. He says that I will be safer with an actual family, and that's when Aria's parents adopted me.
Sarah and Grey, coolest parents in the universe. That didn't improve anything. They were occupied all the time. Especially dad, always-on enterprise outings. They left Aria with me in this house, came to visit us once in 3 months. They took care of our needs so faultlessly that we didn't have a chance to grumble about anything, also got additional care than Aria, just to get her violent.
That was a fun time, they used to play with us, assist us with school works, especially mum, while dad was busy scowling up and down the boys who come home for group assignments. I've been living in Australia all my life, hope I do alright in Seoul.
After getting out of the shower I wore my unicorn pyjamas and go straight to my room. Aria has packed my suitcase. "Should I pack your laptop too?" Asked Kerry. "No, I'll have it with me" I acknowledge getting it from her. "Where is Aria?" I ask Kerry, drying my hair with a towel. "She is with Ms Rene downstairs" she responded.
I went downstairs, all the staff members sitting in the living room, listening to something Aria is explaining. As I was getting close to them "please do keep this house clean, don't allow any unknowns, get your payments from Rene on time. If anybody wants to leave, may ask Rene and we will be back on vacation" she completed giving Ms Rene some documents.
She came towards me as soon as she saw me. "I am so excited Dina" she squealed and hugs me tightly making my ribs yell in pain. "Me too" I mumbled. "Our flight is in an hour, just get dressed, I'll wait for you in the car, need to pack my chocolates too," she tells sprinting to her room.
I go up to my room and change into a t-shirt and jeans. Kerry brings out my coat and helps me wear it, while I struggle with my unicorn pyjamas. I try to push it inside my bag, but it's so stubborn and doesn't go in. Mother fucker.
"Unnie, give it to me, I'll keep them in your suitcase" she chuckles yanking the pyjamas from me. I follow her downstairs, she runs outside to our car, shouting at her dad to get my suitcase out of the trunk. She quickly stuffs it in and places them back. "Come on Aerin let's go" Aria breathed next to me. "Yeah, let's go"
"Have a safe journey" Kerry exclaims when the car starts. All the staffs and other workers wave at me a beautiful goodbye and my house faded away as Mr Ducey drive out of the gate, going straight the road.
And I am not at all feeling ok but let new adventures begin.
