July – 2016 Philippines

Jeongyeon was sitting on a chair, legs on the table in front of him, he is watching a boxing match while eating some popcorn he made, when jongwon came in, he turned off the TV making jeongyeon irritated. He slammed a paper on the table in front of the short haired guy

“Hirai hiroki ship
28-NIGHT JAPAN, TAIWAN & SOUTH KOREA COLLECTOR
Depart day 25/7/2012 3:00 PM ”  he read “Cool! It’s tomorrow can I continue watching now?”

“Concentrate you pabo!” scolded the old man as he hit jeongyeon’s head “South Korea!!”

“So? Should I care?”

“Yes! Because tomorrow we are going back to Seoul” jongwon said firmly, like an order that jeongyeon has to follow

Jeongyeon’s shoulders loosened, he gritted his teeth “I won’t go”

“I wOn’T gO” jongwon mimicked

“I love here! I have friends, I have-“

“You have nothing here son!” jongwon stated the truth making jeongyeon shut his mouth

“I hate there! It’s where my mom died! It’s where my dad who I don’t know is there!-“

“YOUR DREAM IS THERE BAEK JEONGYEON!”

“How?”

“Here in the Philippine we are nothing, we are Korean citizens! We can’t even vote! What’s your dream son?”

 “To be an MMA fighter” said jeongyeon a bit defeated

“That?”

Jeongyeon sighed “That represents South Korea”

Jongwon clapped “if we stayed here would we be able to achieve it?”

Jeongyeon shook his head

“Then make your mind up… tomorrow I am going back to Seoul… it’s up to you… staying here… or following me!”

Jeongyeon laid on the couch where he sleeps, he stared at the ceiling… the only thing he loves is boxing… it’s more than a hobby to him, it’s his passion and dream. His childhood was miserable, moved to Philippine when he was 5 years old, with an old boxer who taught him every single martial art. He got bullied in school even though he was the smartest kid but that didn’t help him… being foreigner with no mother or father always hunted him. He couldn’t sleep that night… Going to Seoul after 19 years of being away? That’s insane! Totally insane.

He got up and went to the backyard of their small house, he wore his old MMA gloves that he bought for 3$ from a pedlar.

Jumping, punching and kicking the punching bag his day passed… He sat shirtless on a chair, sweating and breathing heavily he looked away and saw bunch of girls giggling while staring at him, they were standing on the balcony of the mansion next to their house, he yelped when one of them winked at him and got up in a hurry, he was always awkward with girls.

“Dad?” he called jongwon but he didn’t find him, after a quick shower he looked at the TV and saw the commercial of the ship and the whole trip, suddenly the idea of him being a champion came to his mind, being able to express himself in the sport he likes. It was almost 1 PM now, he grabbed a back bag he owns putting some random outfit and most import his gloves and MMA shorts. He ran to the port where he saw the ship that he saw on the flyer and on the TV many people were there, bidding goodbyes to their beloved ones and friends… after few seconds of searching, he saw jongwon and ran to him

“Dad! Where you really planning to leave without me?” whined jeongyeon but the old man showed him the two tickets in his hand making him smile. He won’t even forget about jeongyeon. He is like his son after all.  

They walked inside the huge ship, their room was in the last floor, the cheapest and less organized, they never cared actually as the two men were excited to go to Seoul. Jeongyeon sat on his bed in the room that’s shared with other 3 men, everyone was minding their own businesses in the next few days, and it was the day 5 of the trip they aren’t allowed to go to the main deck as they are from the poor people, as they called them there.

“The ship arrived” one of the man said

“WHAT? ARRIVED?” jeongyeon yelled

The man nodded “it’s 12 AM now, we will be by Incheon port at 9 in the morning”

Jeongyeon nodded, jongwon was in a deep sleep now, snoring and annoying their roommates, jeongyeon couldn’t calm, he sneaked out of the room and used the lift to go upstairs, floor 0… he walked out and there were many people in the hall but his destination was the main deck… he was praying no one will see him or notice his poor outfit or messy hair and appearance… he followed the ads on the walls and finally, he saw the sky… he arrived at the main deck

“Seoul” he said looking on the far right, it was almost 4 am, the sun is almost up, the sky was still dark but Seoul’s lights were shining and blinding him. As much he is worried and nervous, he is happy, going back to his hometown, his country, South Korea.

Until he noticed a girl standing down, near the handrail, holding her phone and taking picture… she was wearing a white dress with white sandals, blonde long straight hair, white skin and skinny yet thick body, he never checked on a girl before, she caught his eyes… the way her eyes were looking at the far Seoul, the way she was smiling at the picture she took, even though they were dark but she was satisfied by them.

“Be careful” he said without him feeling as her phone fell on the floor

“It almost fell in the water” she said hugging it making him smile shyly

“YA! ARE YOU FROM DOWNSTAIRS?” one man yelled at jeongyeon, the girl looked at their direction but she only saw jeongyeon’s back as he drifted back to his room… and yes… that girl was none other than… Hirai Momo.

As soon as the ship laid on the port… jeongyeon grabbed his bag and followed his dad… the rich people will leave the ship first, that’s the rules… after more than 4 hours of waiting in line, jeongyeon left the ship, as soon his feet stepped on the sidewalk, he got teary eyed, looking around at all the Korean people who were greeting their relatives or beloved ones while he didn’t have anyone waiting for him. Jongwon was busy with men he met and he was chatting with them until jeongyeon saw few guys beating a guy, he eyed jongwon and left his bag as he slowly walked to them

“Why are you so small and weakkkk?” one of them laughed, the short-haired guy was sitting on the floor, rubbing his jaw and his nose was bleeding… jeongyeon took out his phone, he faked that he is calling the police when… his phone was even turned off

“Ya let’s run” they said and ran away

“Son of es!” said chaeyoung while getting up

“You could at least push them away” jeongyeon teased and stared at chaeyoung

“Push them huh!! You have biceps and look strong and you called the police” he wiped his bleeding nose off

Jengyeon lifted his phone “It’s not even on”

“Oh…”

“I don’t use what I’ve learned to harm people”

“Learned? Are you fighter or something?”

“MMA fighter”

“Cool! I am son chaeyoung!” they shook hands and this was the time when jeongyeon met his everlasting friend. Sone chaeyoung.

Few Weeks Passed…

“AGAIN! ONE TWO THREE!” jongwon yelled holding the focus mitt

“I am tireeeeed” chaeyoung whined

“Easy on him dad, he is not like me” said jeongyeon as he sat on the floor next to them, they were in the MMA gym where they practice, chaeyoung regretted the time he asked jeongyeon to teach him some moves, because now the old man won’t leave him until he is a master MMA fighter. The only thing that chaeyoung like is the abs he had now and how girl compliment his figure, even though he is only 172 CM, nevertheless he was always satisfied about his look.

“Hyung! My savior! Take me from here!” chaeyoung said grabbing jeongyeon’s hand

“I just arrived” the latter said and he almost tripped following chaeyoung

“TOMORROW TWO HOURS RUNNING!” jongwon yelled angrily

Jeongyeon sighed as chaeyoung sat next to him on the sidewalks

“still thinking about the championship?” chaeyoung asked handing him a beer can

 “Hey, it’s okay, there is the official competition next month” chaeyoung comforted jeongyeon.

“the worldwide championship is in October, will I pass the competitions so I can represent Korea?”

“Naee you will hyung You will, you are talented” said chaeyoung, he ignored the fact that jeongyeon asks him this question every single day, but seeing jeongyeon smile hearing the same answer every day makes chaeyoung happy.

“And if you find a girl to be with you wil
