**these characters are super fictional. yeah... and if you can see, I didn't describe well the characters... As we go through the story, you would get to know more the characters. :D The image above is still temporary, so yeah... please wait for the true banner. CREDITS TO THE OWNER OF THE IMAGE. The characters in this fanfic are adapted from different dramas.
***In this fanfic, it would be like watching a drama where there would be change of scenes every now and then but I promise this would not confuse the story line. This is to see every move and feeling of each character most especially, Zowee and Roy. :D
ENJOY READING. :D
Foreword
Where am I? Am I dead? In heaven? Oh god it is not my time yet. I’m too young to die! No! Hell. Wait. I am not dead. Where am I? I think I know this place. This is not heaven. It’s the city park. I used to play here before. This place hasn’t changed much. I miss this place so much. I also miss my first best friend. I miss Korea. I miss him. Oh. This is my favorite bench and there is someone sitting on it. I better ask what time is it. He seems kind of nice and… familiar. Excuse me sir?
POOOOOF!
WHAT THE HECK! I was dreaming?
“Soon Geum! Wake up! Wake up! We are going to be late for the flight!”
“EOMMA!!!!!! Araseo! Araseo! Araseo! But please call me Zowee.” Uggh.
I was about to see the guy when my mother… gosh! I have been dreaming of this for a long time. My mother woke me up at the perfect moment! I hate it. I am half-Korean and half-American. My father is American and I have lived my whole life in Beverly Hills. My parents got divorced when I was 3 years old. Every summer vacation, I used to go to Seoul and stay with my mother’s family. I can still remember in one of my summer vacations, my mother and I quarreled and often run to the nearest park. I would stay there and play with other kids until I forget about what happened. In these events, I met this boy. He seems the same age as mine but I didn’t know his name. Every summer, we would meet and play at the park. As I became a teenager, I stopped going to Korea and never met this kid again. But there is a promise that we had at my last visit in Seoul.
“Zowee-ssi, let’s promise each other that when we are already in college, we will meet here again.”
“Why?”
“Because I’ll court you and be your boyfriend. Then become your husband and we’ll be forever together.”
“Are you joking me? HAHAHAHA.”
“Ani. Pinky promise?” Rasing his right hand pinky.
“Araseo…”
And with a pinky promise, I am still waiting.
***
My father asked me not to study in America. Though I insist, my father convinced me to stay in Korea and be with my mother. I can’t leave 90210. I can’t leave my friends. I can’t leave my car and be normal in Korea. I’m used to be the princess. Ani. I can’t. I won’t. But I need to. I hate this life.
***
My mother was so excited that she even went to L.A. and fetched me. It’s so hard to leave my family or should I say my dad. He would be alone since he never got married after the divorce. He loved my eomma so much but why did they do that? It would be a long flight so I better sleep now. Tomorrow, I’ll have a new life. Good luck to me. Ugggh.
Signing off,
Zowee Smith a.k.a. Soon Geum
