My story
Injustice
I've been studying my career since three years now in Korea, i won a scholarship to study at one of the best universities of gastronomy in Seoul.
My family is from Korea so the language is not an impediment.
My sister and I are the only ones who were born in America of the family.
I lived my whole life in there until I moved to Korea to follow my dream. Specialize me in Korean food. When my family found out about the scholarship
and that i had to go to study there, they immediately refused. We're a family overprotective, conservative, united and the only problem was that
i had to go alone.
I wouldn´t go to korea and start to live all on my own.
No.
The school has a program of support for exchange students. We were placed with foster families
who are willing to give us a lodgings. It's up to you if you want to work to have extra money. When my father found out of this started to give up and
eventually accept it and gave me his blessing. The "foster" family is so nice to me. It's only 3 in the family. The Appa, Omma and his only son who
by the time I get to Korea he was finishing his career in law.
My career is magnificent, never in my dreams did I imagine studying in another country, in a country as beautiful as it is South Korea. Perhaps my only
problem is that I am very reserved and shy. Appa always taught me not to trust people too much.
I couldn't complain. I had a part time job that left me enough to spend for me and to save a little for any eventuality that could happen. The scholarship
was just enough to keep my expensive career. All was well until two years ago the head of the family was diagnosed with a tumor in the
brain. Dad. At first it was hard but doctors had high hopes that he would recover. They had high hopes
that the surgery went well... but like any surgery anything can go wrong ... and he died on the operating table. At first nobody wanted to believe it.
It was too unrealistic to think that all this was happening. We didn't even have time to process it. After the burial ceremony, the atmosphere around
the house start to be little heavy. Mom and her son stopped talking until eventually the latter decided to leave home.
Then we found out that in his work he was offered a job abroad and he accept it.
Starting from there Mom and I became more united. We lived together. It was as if actually we were a family. Mom and daughter.
Mom began looking for a job to maintain us. It was there when I started to bless the fact that i started saving.
In his work she met a man who was not yet married or had children. He was an example of a men. Mom fell in love with him. The only detail
is that he wanted to live with Mom... no one else. I already didn't fit in the life of Mom. At first she says no. She didn't want to
leave me but make me feel sad to see her crying at night because she really loves this man. She shouldn't think of me before think on her.
The Sir also wanted Mom but he is not used to see for someone else than for him or for his partner. So we reached a deal.
He and Mom would live together while I would live in the same house until now. The Sir would pay for all household services such as water, gas and
electricity from there on out I would have to see for me. I accepted the deal. At the end of the day was the best thing that could be happening. Mom talked to me she say that whenever I feel alone i could go home, or whenever I needed a little support always can count on her. I was beyond
grateful to her. Always so kind and considerate to me. At least i have a place to sleep.
Now i just had to find a better job where I get paid more, since the one i have it wouldn't be enough to maintain. So i quit that job.
It's been two months since Mama left the house and I began to live alone. It's not bad ... but I don't like ... Too much loneliness sometimes can
lead you to insanity. It's been a month since classes began again and unfortunately I couldn't get a better job.
Money slowly running out and if I don't get something fast probably ... i would have to return to America.
I can't ask for help from my family. They would know that everything has changed and Appa would order me to return immediately.
Living in a city alone all by myself was a scary thought for him.
I was thinking in all of that that i didn't notice that the class has ended until a voice caught my attention.
Krystal ... are you okay? The class ended 10 minutes ago. - Amber whispered as she laid their hand on my shoulder. I was so surprise by the fact that Amber was there standing in front of me, wondering if i was okay that my brain couldn't form a proper sentence so the only answer I gave
was nod.
You're sure? Because ... if you have a problem I may help you ... if you let me ... -- she say as she gave me one of his dorky
smiles.
Emm .. I ... -- I whispered as I began to keep my notebooks and pencils in my backpack. I think my action denote a little nervousness to
Amber. -- Ehh .. Don't get me wrong ... I´m ... class president and I´ve to see for my teammates if they are ok ... or ... not .. --
whisper while ruffling his hair slightly in a uncomfortable way. This time I could compose myself. I smiled as i looked into her eyes. -- Thanks Amber, but
I'm fine. Don't worry ... -- I say as I took my things and made my walk to the door. -- Thanks ... anyway ... for worrying about me. --
i whispered before leaving the room.
My history with Amber isn't huge. She was the first year in my classroom. We team for different projects academics but we didn't cross a word.
Every time that we were alone i tried to talk to her. Start making his friend but for different reasons i couldn't do it.
I could see that she also tried but every time she tries something happened when we were alone. And by something I mean Hyuna. In that
time they were nothing, but you could realize that Hyuna wanted something more than a friendship with Amber.
Amber eventually stopped trying to approach my and one day I get the news that Hyuna and Amber were already a couple. I will not lie, that day I felt bad about that news. Don't know why I unconsciously create the idea in my head that amber likes me ... but it was more than clear that this wasn't true.
So the year pass and after that I just no longer had contact with her because we are on different groups on the following courses.
Until this year where we are together again in the same classroom.
I wont lie. Amber is too handsome to be a woman and to give her a plus is how gentlemanly is with all the
people. To some point, if Amber was my girlfriend i would have too jealous to see my girlfriend interact that well with all the people.
I started to laugh and be ashamed of the thoughts I was having. We haven't talked over 5 minutes and now I was thinking what if
Amber was my girlfriend.
Funny.
Funny the nervousness that gives me every time I have Amber in front of me.
