Prologue
Wasn't Expecting It_______________________________________--SON FAMILY--_______________________________________
The Son family were seating at the dinning table at 9 pm as usual, everything looked fine, but it wasn't. The daughter, Wendy, was about to ask a question that was going to change her life.
"Mom, dad, I have something to tell you"
Both of the parents turned their heads to Wendy, as they were having a conversation.
"What's up sweetie?", asked her mom.
"I don't know what you are going to say, but... I've been thinking about this for a while now and I think it's a great idea, so... Mom, dad, I want to go on an exchange to Korea and learn where I come from and also I want to be more independant and know how to handle my own stuff before I become an adult.",
Both parents looked at each other and looked back at Wendy, then looked back at each other auntil Wendy's mom decided to speak up.
"Wendy, honey, are you sure you want to do that? It is a lot of responsability and you still aren't fluent in Korean."
"Mom, I've thought about this a lot, I really want to do this. And while I'm there I'm going to become fluent"
This time Wendy's father spoke, "If you are really sure about this, we'll let you go, but for how long do you want to go?"
"I was thinking about going for a year"
"Okay, seems fine, how about tomorrow we start looking up for companies that do that and contact them?"
"Oh my god thank you mom and dad, I really want to do this and I thought you were going to say no" Wendy jumped form her seat and hugged her parents for a long time.

Skip forward to two months after that dinner happened (July 19, 2019)
Everything that was needed was ready, now it was time for Wendy and her parents to get the information about Wendy's host family. Wendy was nervous, but it was nothing compared to her parents, who were going to leave their only daughter in hands of strangers, so yeah, nervous was an understatement.
They were at their exchange company waiting for the director to let them in and tell them about the family that was going to recive Wendy in Korea. The secretary called them to the office and it was time, they were going to know who are going to be Wendy's new family.
They entered, took some seats and waited for the director to speak up.
"Well, I see you are nervous, but really, don't worry, we choose this family according to what Wendy and you wanted based on the survey you three did. I'm sure they're going to click just fine"
This calmed Wendy's nerves a little bit, but not much her parents nerves. The director gave them a paper with all the information about the family while he started reading.
