Narrator's P.O.V

While Haneul and Yongnam caught up with each other's lives, the waitress who served Haneul was ending her shift and taking off her costume/uniform. Her thick makeup was taken off of her face and her regular clothes were now covering her body. [LOL. I don't know what to put here XD] 

She knocked on Manager's door to say her goodbyes and be on her way. "Excuse me..."

"Come on in," Yong Nam's deep voice was heard from inside the room. She opened the door and just peeked in.

"Ah, my shift already ended, so I just wanted to say that I'll be leaving now,"

"Alright, Bora. You can take your leave now, don't forget anything in here like you did last time!" He laughed at her clumsiness. She also respectively laughed lightly and said her goodbyes again, all the while eager to leave. She closed the door and rushed out of the tea shop as fast as she could.

"That girl's name is Bora? Yang Bora?" Haneul asked.

"Yes, why? How did you know? Do you know each other?" Haneul was bombarded with questions.

"Whoa, calm down, Yong Nam. I just remember a little girl from when I was last here at this town. She always used to look for me everyday, although I didn't and still don't know why... She always used to give me little cute vegetables, such a sweet little girl," She smiled as she remembered the little Bora.

"....." Yong Nam bursted out laughing. "How can vegetables be cute?" Haneul glared and rolled her eyes at him as she answered.

"They were small, tiny, vegetables. I find tiny things cute! What's wrong with that?" The two began chit-chatting like they were young again, forgetting the fact that they were at a very old age.
 

Bora was now free from being respectful. She wanted to have fun and play some pranks. The first thing that came to her mind was cabbages. She went to the best place to find the funniest people to prank. It was an outdoor market, an isle in the middle and hundreds of stands selling varieties of food. She approached the old man that is always nagging at little kids who steal his cabbages.

Bora would usually respect the elderly, but he never respected her. She focused on her feet which had perfect contact with the earth and firmly moved her foot forward. A rock pierced the wooden wheel of the stand. The old man started to push it because he wanted to move somewhere else and get away from all the bratty kids. 

Right when he pushed, it didn't budge an inch. He tried and tried but nothing happened. Bora tried to hold back her laughter at the sight of an old man trying to figure out why he was so "weak." 

"I gotcha again!" She laughed out loud and he glared at her. 

"Bora! Stop fooling around or I'll tell your parents! Go find someone else to prank!" Bora moved her foot back and the rock went back into the ground. The old man started to walk away grouchily. Bora was still a bit giggly.

"Why were you messing with an old man that didn't even do anything to you?" 

Bora turned around to see a woman with her hands on her hips and she could tell that she wasn't happy. 

"Why do you care?" Bora fought back. 

"I don't like people answering my questions with another question." The woman stepped forward, making Bora do the same thing. 

"You didn't even answer mine." 

"Tch." The woman scoffed and rolled her eyes at the unintelligent young lady.

Bora was now losing her temper. She was about to attack with a boulder but then found herself trapped in the earth. She couldn't move.

"You can't just suddenly attack without thinking about a possibility that I'm an earth bender too." The woman shook her head at the common sense that Bora didn't have.

"Hey! Get me out of here!" Bora yelled, her head was sticking out of the ground. 

"Can you earth bend yourself out of the ground? You are an earth bender too, right, Miss Sassypants?" The woman smirked. 

"..." Bora stayed quiet, feeling defeated. 

"That's what I thought." The woman stood in a stance and punched up in the air. Bora spun up and landed on her with a thud. She cursed under her breath. 

"Hey, watch your mouth or next time I'll scrub it with soap." The woman asked fiercely. "What's your name?"

"Bora, Yang Bora." She cooperated because she didn't want to get humiliated out in public by this woman again. 

"I'm Kwon Kwojin." Kwojin walked to Bora and held her hand out. Of course Bora took it and stood up with Kwojin's help. 

​After the tea shop, Haneul decided to go for a trip down memory lane and happened to see Bora as she bended the earth under the cabbage cart. "Bora is an interesting young lady..." Haneul thought. Haneul approached the two and introduced herself. She then told them to follow her, which they questionably did. They followed her into an empty corner.

"Bora, you have an important role to play in this world." Haneul started to speak. 

Bora just stood there and blinked at the sentence, waiting for it to sink in. Kwojin stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to even think at that sentence. 

"When I was young, about your age, there was a man who talked to me, telling me that my purpose in life was to travel the world in search of some people. Of course, I was confused and asked him who exactly would I be looking for, but he said he didn't know either. All he knew and explained to me was that I needed to look for people around the world... Special people I guess you could say. He said I didn't need to know right then and there who I needed to search for, because I would know who they are when I see them. I became frustrated at his words, not accepting them because who would believe that without reason, right? So I told him he was crazy and walked away. That man died 3 days later. Coincidentally, that third day was the day I decided I would do it. I would look for the people. I went over to his house to tell him the news, but no one answered the door. One of his neighbors saw me waiting outside his door. She came up to me and said, 'I'm sorry for your loss.' I was confused at first, so I just went home. I opened the door to hear people crying. I asked my brother why everyone was crying and he told me... He told me our grandfather had passed away. Yes, that man who told me of my purpose in life was my grandfather. To this day, I haven't found any of the people he was talking about, and there were times I have thought about giving up several times, but I decided to persevere. Bora, I am talking to you right now to tell you that you are one of the people I am looking for."

Bora looked shocked and could only say, "What?! You're crazy!" Haneul smiled.

"That's exactly what I said to my grandfather." Bora ignored Haneul's memory.

"What's makes you think I, of all people, am one of those people you were talking about?"

"Well, Bora, I don't think you're one of the people I was talking about."

"What?! Then how can you just drag me here and say that I-"

"I know that you're one of the people I was talking about." Bora was speechless as more information tried to sink in. "I saw the way you moved when you earth bended, even if it was just a simple move. You were moving perfectly with the earth, as if you were one. I, myself, have encountered many many earth benders, but I have never seen one move like you. The only thing there is to change about you is your use of earth bending." Haneul turned to Kwojin. "Kwojin," Kwojin's expression on her face changed from feeling awkward to feeling shocked. How does she know my name? Kwojin's thoughts were endless as the elder continued to talking to her. "I can say the same for you, young one. Except, you are currently more powerful, and you have the right intentions." As... Of now? She turned back to Bora. "Now. I have something to ask you. Do you believe in what I said to you?"

"I... Uhh..." Bora just nodded, knowing that nonsense would just come out of if she tried talking.

"Good. I want you to listen to me very carefully. To fulfill your purpose in this world, you have to find a mentor who is capable of teaching you more than you could've ever thought you would know, and practice your bending, make yourself stronger, teach yourself things you think you would never be able to do. Improve for the sake of the world. Bora, do you understand me?" Bora just nodded with wide eyes, anticipating, her imagination going wild. "Perfect. I will leave you with this," Haneul gave her a necklace with a unique symbol that only Haneul knows the meaning to and started walking away.

"Wait!" Bora finally found her voice. Haneul turned back.

"How do I know where to contact you? What if I have questions in the future?"

"Earth is the element of substance. The people of the Earth Kingdom are diverse and strong. They are persistent and enduring. Bora, I know you will be able to make it through anything. As for your first question, we will know when the time comes." The elder started walking away again.

".... What am I supposed to do now?" Bora exclaimed, frustrated. She looked at Kwojin with hesitating eyes for a few seconds then started walking away.

"Wait!" Kwojin ran after her.

"What?"

"Well... Don't you need a mentor? Why don't you let me?" Bora blushed.

"W-what?! Nooooo, nonononononono. You just embarrased me out there 10 minutes ago, you expect me to ask you to be my mentor? No way!"

"Oh, really. So if you don't want me to be your mentor, then who else is going to teach you? You heard the elder, she said I was better than you!" Kwojin left out the part that was still stuck to her mind. 'As of now.'

"Listen, I really don't like your attitude. I'm hot-headed too so if we spend a lot of time together, I'm sure we will get nowhere and it'll end up in some earth bending mess, henceforth I'd rather not."

"Oh come on. There is nothing wrong with letting people who love you, help you. Err, not that I love you. I just met you."

Bora sighed and agreed to let Kwojin become her mentor. "Alright, alright. But I won't guarantee that I'll act nice."

"Fact accepted. Shake on it?" Kwojin held her hand out and Bora took it.

And that was the beginning of... Well let's just say an adventure full of... adventure.
