I started packing my things as soon as I received my ticket to Seoul. It was thrilling for me. At last, I would be making my dream come true. I would be the best musician or Ami.

"Are you sure about this, Yong?" Appa sat on my bed, watching me zip my bag.

"I am, appa. This is the break I have been waiting for." I didn't look up. I felt my eyes water. Why does this have to be so hard?

"Just... call me if you need anything, okay?" Appa's voice cracked. I knew he was near to crying. I nodded slowly. I couldn't talk anymore. I know that if I spoke anther word, I might just break down. I heard appa sigh then walk out of my room. I looked out the window. I watched the kids playing outside. They were running on the street holding water balloons. I remember doing that when I was nine. My playmates MiKa and JiRo would usually be running outside throwing water balloons and running after each other on our lawn. Now, those to had their lives away from Busan. Mika went to Pyungsan while Jiro is already in America, if I'm not mistaken. I miss those two. Oh, I would really miss this place.

I let out another sigh and looked at my luggage. Is this the right decision? I have never been away from my family and I have never even thought of being alone. What will happen in Seoul? Will I have friends there? Will I be welcomed warmly by the other trainees and the teachers? Will I be an outcast or a famous student? Will I be good enough? I felt warm liquid slowly creep down my cheek. I really hope everything will turn alright. I really hope that Ami will come back.

At last, it was time for my flight. Hyung and my parents were at the airport, bidding goodbye. They were gazing at me with tearful eyes, eyes that were wishing me happiness and luck.

"Don't overwork yourself, okay?" Eomma embraced me.

"Yah. Yong, if people harass you there, call me and I'll kill them." YongHae hyung pat my head.

I nodded then embraced my family for the last time then headed to the boarding area. And for one last time, I glanced at them. They were smiling at me, giving me all the encouragement they could offer. I waved goodbye, forcing a smile and holding my tears back. I hope I can make my dream come true.
