Prologue
Pieces of My Heart
“When fate brings someone into your life, there must be a reason why he is there to stay.
But if his chapter has already ended in your life-story, will you be strong enough to let him go?”
January 6, 1996
Dear Diary,
It’s my first day of school today and I am really excited. My clothes have already been ironed out and I had packed my bag yesterday night, before I went to bed. I am taking Mr Squiggles to school, just in case I feel scared and lonely. Do you think anyone will laugh at me?
Minhyuk said that it would be fun. He told me that the food there are nice and that the playground –
Oh wait, I think I hear eomma calling for me. Time to go! I will write more later.

I throw a last glance over my shoulder. Just one more step, and I will really be leaving everything behind. My birth-country where I had grown up in, my friends whom I shared laughter and tears with, my aunt & uncle whom I have regard as my own parents – basically every single person who means a lot to me.
But it’s also because of them, that I am making this decision to leave. I don’t want them to see me crying anymore. I don’t want them to offer their sympathy for something that couldn’t be fixed anymore. I don’t want them to worry about me anymore.
I take in a deep breath, still trying to mentally convince myself that this is the right thing to do. I tighten my grip on my large gray metallic suitcase, ready to pull it along; but before I can proceed –
“Park Chorong!”
I freeze.
I must be dreaming.
It can’t possibly be true.
“Don’t you dare take another step!”
Tears well up in my eyes. Could it...could it really be...?
“Don’t you dare walk away from me!”
With all the might I have left, I turn around slowly, holding my breath the whole time.
I almost drop to the ground.
It’s really him.
He actually came.
just a little teaser for you guys :>
wanna take a guess on who 'he' could be?
