Chapter 1: Meet the Hero
Next Gen MagiciansTaeyeon had been sitting on the firm car seat for what seemed like hours now. Not even her favorite song, “Cover Up” by a very famous Korean artist, could save her from the continuous pins and needles that would hurt her little . “Ghost! How much longer til New York City? I don’t think my can take more of this ty car seat!” Taeyeon whined.
“Aye watch your mouth little lady. We’re almost there, just hold out a little longer would ya?” Ghost replied while laughing at Taeyeon’s sassy remark. That laugh soon faded though when he turned to see her serious pout appear. “Hey, what’s wrong Tae? The seats not that big of a deal right…”
