In the beginning
Tough LoveAt the park one day, a mother was playing happily with her child while the father is watching them. The child's name is Minah. Together, she and her were playing a game of catch. "Appa!" little Minah called as she waved towards her father. He waved back at her. After a few rounds of catch, they stopped to take a lunch break. There were laughter in the air. Everything was happy and peaceful between Minah and her family until one tragic day.
It all happened on a rainy night. Minah and her family were going home after a lovely dinner. The rain was pouring down heavily. Suddenly, the car skidded and screams of fright filled inside. Then, the car overturned and crash onto the side of the road. Minah and her family got into a car accident and they were hurt. Luckily, some drivers who spotted the accident, quickly called the ambulance.

Unfortunately, it didn't last as Minah began to cry again for the lost of her parents.
After three days, Minah is starting to feel better. Before she was discharged the next day, a middle aged woman came to her. "Annyong," the woman greeted. "Annyong," Minah greeted back. "I overheard that your parents died in the car crash. I'm sorry about that," said the woman as she place her arms around Minah. "My name is Mrs Han and I am the head of __________ Orphanage," the woman introduces herself. Then, she introduces a young woman and a girl next door.
