Chapter 2

...

"Wow, England! So you must be fluent in English right? (in English)" ask teacher Katy.

Minhwa smile at her new teacher and answer her question. "Pretty much yes. I was born and raised there. This is my first time in Korea. So I'm gonna be really grateful if you guys can show me around or guide me."

"One more question from me, are you even Korean ? You didn't look like one", ask teacher Katy.

"Umm, yeah, I'm Korean, my DNA is 100% Korean. It just that I don't look like one."

"Ouh, okay. You can take your seat in the back, right next to the window",instruct the teacher.

"Okay!" reply her cheerily and moved to the mentioned desk. When she right in front of the desk, she gasp a little. The desk is full of nasty words written and torn up.

"The transfer student's so unlucky to have the desk. I feel sorry for her."

Minhwa ignore the murmured and take a seat. After that, she feel like she's being stare at. She look to her right and saw a good looking boy is looking at her. She smile to him and he ignored her then look in front.

She pissed. 'Minhwa, hold it. Its your first day. Don't look for trouble', thought Minhwa, trying to remind herself.

While on the other side, Taemin is stunted by her smile. What's that smile means? Is she mocking me?Or she doesn't remember me? Aish, the second option is not possible. There's no way to not notice my face.

Times ticking real fast. The bell rang for so many time until the fourth period start. The teacher on teach is not in, so the class in on self study mode. But of course, typical high schoolar, not much student's on the self study.

As Taemin predicted, 2/3 of the classroom flooding the new student.

"Are you really born and raised in England? Your Korean language is nice though", ask someone.

Minhwa smile by hearing the question. "My parents is quite strict when its come to Korean language. I even attend the Korean class to improve the language."

"Owh, but I think England is a great place, why did you end up here?" ask another one.

Minhwa smile faded a little, then she smile bitterly. "Actually, I came here for a holiday with my family, but we got caught with an accident. My parent.."

Minhwa stop there. She can't seem to continue or else she believe that she will cry right on the spot.

"Oo, sorry"

Minhwa smile bitterly, and say" It's okay, you didn't know right? ". Minhwa place a look at the corridor outside the classroom and say;

" I need to meet the teacher - in - charge for my transfer. He told me too meet him on the free time. Sorry, excuse me. "

Minhwa stand up and walk through the door. She took a glance at her new classmates before going. She didn't blame them for that, she pretty sure they didn't know. But she still seems to be hurt by their ignorance.

On the way back from school

Taemin and Jungki fetch their bicycle at the parking area and cycle it. Because their house is the opposite side, they separated half way.

"Finally!" say Taemin when he arrive at his house. He get in the house and saw his father in the living room.

"Eh, dad. You didn't go to work?" ask him.

"No, I got mc ( medical check up)." answer his father without looking at him. "you're sick?"

"a slight fever but I'm fine now". "o. okay, I'll get going" "humm"

Taemin take a step towards the stairs and stop himself. "Hey, dad. Shouldn't my sis arrive now? You said that she'll arrive yesterday. Where is she?"

"Ah, that girl. I already invited her to come and she said that she's not ready to live with us. And, did you know? They got caught in an accident. Her mom died."

Taemin shock hearing the news. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? She must be alone now. Where is she? Where did she live?"

"Somewhere around here I think. She didn't tell me either. Maybe she still do the mourning right now. All I know is that she is living at her own house."

"Okay,, I'll be going." "okay.". After got his father's approval, Taemin climb up the stairs and goes to his room.
